Meet the big sister you wish you had: Laura from My Newest Addiction!

At Beauty Box 5, we try not to play favorites, but at the end of the day, there are certain blogs that we canā€™t help but sing about, and My Newest Addiction is one of them! Laura is seriously knowledgeable and always gives a fun, in-depth review of products we really want to try.

So, without further ado, meet our Blogger of the Month!

BB5: Tell us a little about your blog!

Laura: Have you ever tried to remember a makeup look you created, but couldnā€™t think of exactly which colors you combined? My Newest Addiction Beauty Blog started as my makeup diary. I posted pictures of my makeup looks and listed the products. My posts quickly turned into reviews due to readers requesting my opinions on the products I was trying out. I now post mostly about beauty but throw in some fun extra posts about my family and other things from time to time.

BB5: If you could only use three beauty products for the rest of your life, what what they be?
Laura: Only 3? A great cleanser, blush, and mascara.
BB5: Good choices! What are some of your favorite brands?
Laura: My cosmetic tastes range from high end to extremely affordable. My favorite brands include Laura Mercier, Jane Cosmetics, Stila, TATCHA, and Amarte.
BB5: Care to share your favorite thing about Beauty Box 5?
Laura: I love Beauty Box 5 because of the variety of products included in each box. The Nubar nail polish included in the October 2013 box has been my favorite brand/product Iā€™ve discovered the Beauty Box 5! I had never tried it prior and now I own several.
BB5: You. Are. Awesome. Any last words of beauty wisdom?
Sure! If you try something new with your makeup and you donā€™t like it, donā€™t just rule it outā€¦ revisit it again and you will likely find that you just needed to practice!
Lauraā€™s favorites
  • Lip balm: TATCHAā€™s “Gold Collection”. It feels so soothing and moisturizing and I feel the effects for hours.
  • Mascara: IT Cosmetics “Hello Lashes” and Jordana “Best Lash Extreme.” They both do a great job at adding volume and length.
  • Eyeliner: The liquid liner from Jane Cosmetics, specifically the one called “Golden Black.” It is black with the most gorgeous gold highlights.
  • Blush: “Lotus Pink" from Laura Mercier. It is the perfect pink and I always feel pretty when wearing it.

Did you fall in love with Laura? We donā€™t blame you. Keep up with My Newest Addiction and follow her on Facebook, Instagram. Twitter, and Pinterest!
