There is something about the texture and feel of this gloss that makes me always reach for this one. It's very comfortable on. Not sticky at all. Barely feels like I'm wearing anything.

These are good. Think matte, creamy and long lasting. These don't dry out my lips (most liquid lippies do).

I like the slight color in these. I'm mostly hooked on the blackberry one. It smells so good. I'd say more of a gloss (that isn't sticky) and not an oil.

It's not easy to find a lipgloss that lasts. This one is a good one. And it's plumping while not overly tingly. I use the shade Suzanne Brown. It's actually very natural. Not as brown as it looks in the tube or in the swatch images. It also has a goo...

This is my favourite MAC lipstick formula. It feels nice on, has good wear time and has a barely there feel. The shade “Hug Me” is my every day “I'm in a hurry and don't have time to pick a shade”, go-to! It's natural and sexy and instantly makes you...

I love this clear gloss!

I love this lippie! Sometimes I use this just to line my lips (it has a nice pointy tip), sometimes all over. Just make sure you give it a shake before you apply. Very long lasting and non-drying. Good for nights out. A+ for gorgeous luxe feeling pac...

This doesn't budge - and - is creamy. I use it as my liner but can also be used all over lips! I'm obsessed with “Trust Your Gut”. It's my every day liner - regardless on what else I put on my lips even if it's vaseline, a lip oil or gloss.

This is a great primer for your lids! A little really does go a long way!

The brown Scandeleyes Eyeliner is THE BEST. My favourite drugstore sharpen eyeliner. They nailed a no-budge long lasting liner that is also soft to apply with this one.

Brows

My brows are mostly barely there. What I do have are uncooperative but these products get them in order.

I use this regularly. Keeps my stubborn brow hairs in place even through sweaty workouts.

Face

Don't ask me about complexion products (foundation, concealer, color correctors) - peep my skin care lists for that! But these products, I use on specific parts on my face :)

Baked Blush. She's a real one. Silky, smooth, pigmented and not glittery in that juvenile way. Y'know what I mean? We're glowy and grown ;) No need for highlighter.

This bronzer feel divine on. It does indeed feel buttery. Comes in natural shades. I love this bronzer for day time. I also use this on my eyes.

I have these in many colours. They are pigmented, creamy and are so easy to dab on. I just use my finger.

I keep one of these in my car and in purse all the time. It's very tough to mess up with these (I'm not a make-up pro at all)! I like that it comes in a tube - to minimize contamination. A little goes a long way.

This mist is my favourite fine mist. It feels the most barely there - and I love that it doesn't have a strong scent!

Get this blush if you want a youthful bouncy looking cheek. It's fun to dab on - I just use my fingers. A little goes a long way.

I really love that this is a complete set. A creame and then powder to add refinement/finish/lock in. I have this in a mini! I love slipping it in my purse.

This is the perfect 2-in-1 bronzer palette. I actually use this for a bit of contouring. Don't sleep on it. As someone who often drops their compacts, I appreciate that this is not a plastic container.

A good setting spray to lock it in! Reliable and has some good skin care properties (glycerin and niacinamide!) in it to help keep your skin hydrated. I like using this one for even those sticky humid summer nights - especially when I've put in quite...

This goes such a long way. It's very pigmented so you only need a bit. I'm still using the stick I got when RiRi first launched this! I bought this in a cooler tone so that I can use it for contouring! That's my tip: bronzer = warmer; contour = coole...
