items I’m not your typical 40 something and I don’t follow all the trends. I find what I like, use what I love, and promote my loves.
I was never a liquid eyeliner fan but I will wear Perversion until the day I die! It goes in smooth, stays all day, never smudges, and makes the perfect wings! 10/10
Perversion Waterproof Liquid Eyeliner - Urban Decay
This is not as much of a hit. Sure it stays on all day, but it’s so clumpy. It it just doesn’t make my long lashes look as nice as they are. I want to love it but I just can’t.
Perversion Waterproof Mascara | Urban Decay Cosmetics
Ok so if I can’t get Gash eyeshadow this is the next best thing! Love this color to replicate Gerard Way’s Three Cheers look. *I’ve only tried Gash.* Love this!! 9/10 only because I want the eyeshadow too.
URBAN DECAY 24/7 Glide-On Waterproof Eyeliner
I love the shades in this for day to day wear! Can’t beat the richness.
Milani Eyeshadow Primer + Gilded Mini Palette
I don’t know if they changed the colors in this one but it doesn’t have the same mink pink color I loved as the base. Still a strong palate. 9/10
Most Wanted Eyeshadow Palette 140 Rosy Revenge
Can only speak for Dazzled here the color is fine. Not in love with this only because it gets to the point where I have to scrap it to get any color to come off.
Tarte Dazzled Amazonian Clay 12-Hour Blush Review & Swatches
I hate lipstick. I rarely wear gloss but if I do this is the one!! 9/10 only because it doesn’t really have any stay power, but I love the feel and look.
maracuja juicy lip balm gloss - Tarte Cosmetics
I have a love hate relationship with concealers. I hate if they don’t cover and hate if they are cakey. This is a decent mix of them both. As long as you don’t have very purple dark circles you’re good to go here. I just use several layers to conceal...
Bare With Me Concealer Serum | NYX Professional Makeup
I want to love this but I just don’t. It sprays oddly leaves white dots if I miss a spot blending it in. It’s drying and clogs my pores.
NYX Professional Makeup Bare with Me Prime Set Refresh Spray
I’ve used both white and black neither I loved. Black didn’t stay and smudged. White was barely visible so it didn’t work for what we needed.
Eyeliners: Liquid, Pencil & Waterproof Liners - Urban Decay
This was a flop it had no coverage and was cakey.
Shape Tape™ Full-Coverage Concealer | Tarte™ Cosmetics
These are so hard to find but they are the best & inexpensive brushes I’ve ever used! 10/10 would buy the entire stores worth if I could.
E.l.f. Precision Brushes : Target
Shades were weird for me none matched well. It also didn’t cover well and filled into my fine lines. I only use this when I run out of my other one.
Hydrating Camo Concealer - e.l.f. Cosmetics
This is pretty good. I didn’t buy the right shade Tea Rose, but it still looks great on & lasts!
Rose Powder Blush - Milani Cosmetics
This is the best brand I’ve used. It’s light weight. Actually takes grease out. Doesn’t tangle or make my hair staticky
Plump for Joy Dry Shampoo | Not Your Mother's
