Top Ten Women's Best Friends

So I decided to make a top ten list of things and products that came in handy for me as a woman. I've included products that I really thought deserved some attention and along with products I've tried out myself. I wanted to post these using my own photos but unfortunately my camera's out of batteries so I stole these off the internet. It's almost like free advertising really.

For every woman it's a different list whether it's skinny jeans, facial masks, or nail polish - it's what matters to you. Here's mine so hope it will inspire you to list yours too!


Liquid Eyeliner - I've learned how to use this product over the years. I still remember when I first started I kept poking my eyes out and tearing up so badly. Well, that was only the pencil liner. Eventually I got more comfortable using the pencil but I didn't like the fact that it smudged all over my lids when I accidentally rubbed them. I tried liquid and it was just a hassle at first because I didn't know how much to apply and how to control the pen/brush. But with a bit of practice the liquid eyeliner became my favorite - particularly Prestige's waterproof liquid liner. When you wash it it doesn't run or smear, but rather it comes off in clumps making it much easier to remove.


Eyelash Curler - My favorite eyelash curler of all time is the Shu Uemura. It's quite the popular eyelash curler but once you try it I think you'll know why. It has good control - it doesn't feel like the handle will move beyond where it's supposed to move when you press on it. It also gets most of your lashes even the short ones. I don't have much eyelashes so this helps a lot. Of course mascara must be used before and after the crimping. Although crimping lashes after mascara application can make the lashes more brittle and break off.

Concealer - So, who else has eye bags? I cannot get rid of my eye bags so sometimes I just need to fake it with some concealer. It covers up well depending on the brand and type. I've tried a few both the stick and the liquid. They both have their goods and bads so I think it is preference and how it's used as well. When I use liquid concealer I find that it leaves a smoother surface when I apply powder on top. Stick concealers are usually more chunky so applying powder over it doesn't allow it to look as smooth. Sometimes I apply a lighter coat of powder or even bronzer on top of my concealer if I'm using the stick.
Fake Eyelashes - I haven't learned how to put these on yet but I love how they look in photos. It totally magnifies the size and depth of your eyes.

Tweezy/Epilator - Hairy arms, legs, armpits, face, etc. If you don't have time to wax or thread, Tweezy does the job. I bought a Tweezy which is like a cheaper version of the Epilator. It runs on batteries but works well even though I've pinched my skin with it a couple of times. It's faster than tweezing each hair one by one of course. The Tweezy has pinchers that spin on a wheel and grabs onto your hair pulling them out.



Strap Perfect Concealer Clip - When you don't want to pay the extra money to get a racerback bra and you want to wear your racerback tanks, I recommend these clips. The one I have is called Strap Perfect but there are other ones out there. You apply it to the back of your bra straps and it transforms your normal bra to a racerback bra just by pulling in the bra straps. See the pic for what I mean. I bought a pack at London Drugs for $10. The pack contains 6 clips in three colors: black, nude, clear.


Seamless Liners - These are absolutely perfect to wear with ballet flats. Sometimes your feet feel a bit naked without socks so liners help. To conceal the liners try an ultra low fit.


Heel Protectors - For heels that don't fit you or fit a bit loose, wear heel protectors to keep your feet from sliding in and out. I haven't used mine yet but I cross my fingers that it will solve the problem of my small feet wearing heels.



Skort - Now this is something that I don't see very often or if I see it I might not notice it. It's technically a skirt that's really a pair of shorts underneath. It's sewn together actually. I think it's an awesome idea. I currently own one pair and it's nice to have something like this so that you don't have to be too conscious sitting cross legged cause you know you have shorts underneath your skirt.

Forever 21 Side Zipper Leggings

Tights/Leggings - These are awesome whether they are footless or not. They come in various patterns and can be worn with boots or ballet flats or casuals. They come in different sheerness as well and are flexible in how they can be worn.
