This eyeliner completely stayed put for the day! My skin is oily and I get raccoon eyed very easily but not with this liner. Also coming out of the pool my eyeliner was still there and not smudged under my eyes! You won’t be disappointed.

Urban Decay Eyeshadow Primer is the product that gets my Italian oily eye lid skin under control. My eyeshadow stays put and makeup looks more ‘fresh’ throughout the day. Thank goodness!

Thrive Causemetics mascara gives my lashes that full look I love and its good for them because it’s infused with peptides. Provides all-day smudge proof wear. It is worth it!!

You know when you find that perfect mascara and you can hardly believe it! That was me when I used Anastasia Lash Brag for the first time 🤯 The brush, the shade, the way it didn’t smudge on the oily skin of my undereyes throughout the day and defi...

The skin around the eyes of mature skin needs extra care. No tugging or excessive rubbing to remove mascara. When I found this remover that is effective and gentle on the delicate skin around me eyes I was hooked! For waterproof mascara I swipe on ...

I’m a soft shadow color kinda gal being 60+. Also only use shimmer on the inner corner of eyes. Tarte shadows have staying power and some of the prettiest shades I’ve ever used. The cases are super cute too and easy to spot in my makeup bag.

Having mature skin I love the lightweight but nice evenness to my skin I get from What the Foundation. WTF differs from traditional foundations by giving your skin a natural, fresh, and glowing look. It's silky, smooth, and does not accentuate lines....

This contour stick might look small but it does pack a lot of punch with more than 1000 swipes promised in each tube. I love the cool under-tone for my olive complexion. There is no green or orange tone at all. I swipe it on, blend it out with my ...

My lips have a high-end feel when I’m wearing MAC lipstick. They have beautiful colors nailed, it is creamy and surprisingly long wearing for not necessarily being advertised that way. I wear the Sleek Satin Lipstick in Pink Peppermint ❤️

This mini fridge right here holds my eye creams especially. I adore putting chilled cream on my eyes. They feel so much more snatched. There is room for other cosmetics that you want to chill or even your favorite perfume!

Definitely worth a try! I sat on buying Miracle Balm for a while …not gonna lie, it’s kinda pricey. But being a Bobbie Brown fan since my 20’s I knew this had to be AND IT IS! One jar can do so much. Cheeks, lips, mid-day perk me up. From the we...
