Fashion Floyd: High-end Makeup Products worth the Hype

I love both drugstore and high-end makeup products in my daily routine. Especially for face such as foundation and powder, I prefer to use high-end over drugstore because I feel it's more beneficial for skincare. Here are a few high-end products I splurge on every once in a while:

1) TOO-FACED CHOCOLATE SOLEIL BRONZER
-Its a beautiful color on Medium skin tones, especially for the summer. A little goes a long way, so I apply a little of this each morning to my cheeks to countor my face. ($30 at Sephora)

2) NAKED BASICS PALETTE
-Every color I need is stuck in this little palette. It's wonderful for travel and the color pay-off is great. ($27 at Sephora)

3) CLINIQUE BRUSH-ON CREAM LINER
-I love the formulation of this gel-eyeliner. I personally prefer this brand over Bobbi Brown and Mac, because the pigmentation is great, and I like the darkness of the black. It's also long-lasting, which is always a bonus. ($15 at Sephora)

4) KEVYN AUCOIN SENSUAL SKIN ENHANCER
-Can be used as Foundation or Concealer, and a LITTLE goes a LONG way, trust me. It's pretty much full coverage and goes great with almost any foundation.
($44.10 at Amazon.com)

5) MAC PAINT POT IN BARE STUDY
-Very Pigmented eye color and goes on creamy but dries beautifully. Great coverage and lovely color.
($18.50 at Nordstrom)

6) CHANEL VITALUMIÈRE AQUA ULTRA-LIGHT SKIN PERFECTING MAKEUP SPF 15
-Soft and light texture, water formulation and oil-free. My all-time favorite foundation because of the natural finish it gives and how light it feels on your skin. 10 amazing shades that are light to medium coverage, pricey but so worth every penny.
($45.00 at Nordstrom)

7) CHANEL LES BEIGES HEALTHY GLOW SHEER COLOR SPF 15
-A brand new product from Chanel, but already one of my makeup essentials. This powder can be used as a foundation base or a bronzer, depending on what color you purchase. It gives a wonderful glow to your skin while providing a sheer, luminous finish. This product tends to go on a bit light, so I suggest going a shade darker.
