Beauty Blessings: Beauty Products I’m Thankful For This Thanksgiving



With Thanksgiving right around the corner, there’s a lot to be thankful for, like family, friends, and great eating. While I’m grateful for all these things and more, there’s something else on my mind: my holy grail beauty products. This year, as I stuff my face with turkey and share laughs with my loved ones, I’ll also be quietly raising a toast to the cosmetics that have blessed my face and saved my mornings. Because honestly, what’s Thanksgiving without a little glam and a lot of gratitude?


 

  1. Benefit 24-Hour Brow Setter 



I always say brows make or break my face. For me, a bad brow day is enough to ruin my mood. That’s why, when I planned a trip to Barbados three years ago, securing a reliable brow gel was #1 on my list of priorities. Barbados, located in the West Indies, is extremely hot, so I knew I needed a brow gel that would last through the sweltering heat. Not only did this brow gel last, but I never experienced any flaking or white cast on my face. I have been hooked on this gel since I bought it, and I recommend it to all my friends. It’s affordable, easy to use, and has completely transformed my approach to brow care. I haven’t looked at another brow gel since! 




  1. Charlotte Tilbury Hollywood Flawless Filter 



Just like Thanksgiving dinner isn’t complete without a turkey, my beauty routine isn’t complete without Charlotte Tilbury’s Hollywood Flawless Filter. This product delivers just the right touch of glow under my foundation without overpowering my look. Sometimes, I replace my foundation with this sheer glow for a no-makeup-makeup look, which keeps my skin looking radiant yet natural. Though the E.l.f Halo Glow is rumored to be a great alternative, I am loyal to my tried and true. 





  1. Refy Lip Sculpt 



This dual-ended lip liner is new to my collection, but she’s definitely earned her spot in my favorites. I never loved lip-liners because they never lasted. My liners would disappear within an hour, so I would have to reapply constantly. I would end up using the product twice as fast, and end up back at Sephora sooner than planned (not that I’m complaining.) I decided to give this liner a try during the Sephora sale, and I’m so happy I did. First, I line my lips and blend normally. Then, I apply a thin layer of the clear setter on top. Once this sets, my liner actually does not move throughout the night. Plus, the shade Sepia is the perfect brown for my skin tone. On an even better note, this liner is 20% off at Sephora right now! 



  1. One Size Beauty On ‘til Dawn Setting Spray 



Though holding my breath while applying the On ‘til Dawn Setting Spray is no easy task, it’s 100% worth the finished product. Setting sprays were another beauty product I had little faith in; it felt like none of them truly held my look in place. That is until I was introduced to the On ‘til Dawn Setting Spray. This setting spray has kept my makeup looking great for hours at a time without drying me out. If you don’t want to take it from me, take it from Beyonce! She wore it during a concert in the rain on her Renaissance tour. Overall, my beauty routine would not be complete without this setting spray. 




  1. Fenty Beauty Killawatt Freestyle Highlighter - Ruby Richez 


I could not discuss the products I am grateful for without mentioning this multi-use highlighter, and I’m not just saying this because Rihanna and I are both Bajan. This highlighter truly elevates my makeup look; I get compliments every time I wear it. Though it’s marketed as a highlighter, I use this product as a blush topper after my cream and liquid blushes. You can use it for eye shadow looks as well. A little goes a long way with this product, so I use a gentle hand when applying, but don’t let its pigment scare you! This color compliments my skin tone beautifully, and it stands out against the rest of my look. Fenty Beauty has so many unforgettable products, and this product is definitely one of them


 

Now that you know my go-to products, I hope I positively impact your next trip to Sephora. Make sure to take a moment this Thanksgiving to be thankful for your family, friends, and the real MVPs in your life—your beauty products!
