Lancôme: Crème Radiance Clarifying Cream-to-Foam Cleanser

Creamy bronzer stick thats super easy to blend. I want them to add more shades bc this on is a little red on me, but if i go darker then it's too dark. I do like it though.

This is marketed as a concealer, but I use the darker shades as bronzers. Super thick so you you don't need a whole lot and it's full coverage.

L'Oréal: Infallible 3-Second Setting Mist Spray

Got this one bc of the donut applicator. The applicator alone, 10/10. its super squishy and it's make the application to the lips feel “fancy”. The lipgloss itself is good. I think it is on the thicker side, and the color pay off is nice as well.
