Eyes (M411- Pointed Blender and M200-Deluxe Crease) It is always important to blend, blend blend your makeup!! I do have a few blending brushes but I wanted to have a few backups when I clean them.

Moisturize from the Inside Out Not only do you have to take care of the outside of your body, you should also take care of what's inside. I did stress the importance of drinking plenty of water with the last post and it is still as important. This is my favorite cup that I take with me everyday to work and just drink water all day.
