I didn't get the make up gene and I'm an outdoor girlie living my life at mach 2 with my ass on fire. I am a skin care product whore but prefer a more natural aesthetic when it comes to makeup. For me, less is more and dual use is even better. These ...

From Curlers to Brows.

Ladies, this is the GOAT of eyelash curlers. Throw yours out and go get this one. I have used this for over 30 years every day 
(unless I sprang for a lash lift). The lease stressful on the lashes and here's a trick; if your a straight lash girl like me, heat the curler up with your blow dryer just a tad and it is like using a curling iron on your lashes! Make sure you check ...

Another great FFF find. When I looked them up one of the reviews said, “It makes me look like I got 8hrs of sleep”. I thought, ‘Damn, this better be good’ and it is more than good. I love the pencil applicator, the way it glides on, the multi-uses of...

I have full eyebrows and I refuse to laminate them (simply not my look). Goopy gels are well…goopy. All other brow gels simply weren't strong enough. This gets the job done!

Need to cancel out the dark on your eyelid then this is your product. Creamy but not oily. Lasts all day. I'm not even sure how long I've had mine, that’s how long this stick will last.

This was all the rage a few years ago and it is fabulous! I love the ‘done’ look without having to worry about flaking mascara or curling my eyelashes mid day. Luxe makes my life easier. Definitely need someone to help you but I've been using this an...

Cheeks

Any of these can be worn light or layered for a more striking look.

I waited for the holiday packaging where the pots are small but you get all the colors. I'm not kidding when I say this is a miracle balm. You can build it for a lot of color or just go light. Works on lips and eyes as well. A multi-use product that ...

I love the Nars in Orgasm. I wear it almost every day for a little color and a tiny smidge of sparkle. It's great on tan skin and perfect when you need to brighten your look in the dead of winter. Again, another one that goes on light but can be buil...

This is what I use for a night out or special occasions. The color Kitten works on so many different complexions. One will last you forever.

I have loved Bobbi and her aesthetic forever. I even owned her book in the 90's. This foundation is what I use under my eyes and on the red areas. It is so dewey and natural looking. Bonus, it lasts FOREVER.

I have used this product since it came to market. Does anyone remember how they had their own brick and mortar stores?

I used this daily in my 30's when my skin was a mess after having my daughter.

A few drops in your moisturizer and Wha-La! You look like you've had a beach vacay. Good for all year round but a life saver in the winter.

This is an almost daily use product even when I am not wearing makeup. I tamps down the oil and shine and makes make up glide on.

Again, don't care there isn't an affiliate link. I am not going to gate keep. I was gifted this by my dear friend, Renee, and don't let the color fool you! It goes on so sheer and is perfect for cheeks as well. I have Pixie and I am a ZERO (almost) c...
