EYES
“Beauty is how you feel inside, and it reflects in your eyes. It is not something physical.” — Sophia Loren
One of the best mascaras I have ever used and will forever continue to buy! I have two tubes, one in brown and another in black. I love how the wand gets every little stubborn lash and separates them to make my natural lashes look long, full, and flu...
Lash 'N Roll Curling & Lifting Mascara
1
The only other mascara that I use and repurchase. I love the wand on this product for the exact reason why I love the e.l.f. Lash N Roll mascara— it coats every individual lash and separates and lengthens my lashes making them look long and full.
Define-A-Lash® Lengthening Washable Mascara
A good, trusty brow pencil + built-in spoolie to fill in any sparse areas and diffuse the product to create natural, full-looking brows. I also use this product to tight-line my upper and bottom lash line.
Express Brow Ultra Slim Defining Eyebrow Pencil
LIPS
“When your lips get dry, is there anything more frantic?” — Emily Weiss
Say goodbye to chapped lips and skin for good! This product is the only thing you will ever need to stay soft, supple, and glowing.
Vaseline
1
I just finished my first tube of this stuff, and I LOVE it! As someone with average sized lips, the plumping effect I get from this product looks like my lips but better. The gloss itself has a high shine and a nice, light fragrance to it. I like th...
Lip Injection Plumping Lip Gloss
I don’t wear lipstick often but when I do — Revlon is my top choice. I love the formula of this product. It feels buttery soft on the lips, and the color payoff is beautiful.
Super Lustrous™ Lipstick - With Moisturizing Formula!
FACE
“Beauty is truth’s smile when she beholds her own face in a perfect mirror.” — Rabindranath Tagore
When my skin is needing a pick-me-up but I want to keep it looking natural— this is my go-to. The best thing about this product is that it’s skincare and makeup in one, so it’ll improve your skin over time with each use!
True Match Hyaluronic Tinted Serum - L'Oréal Paris
I love how this primer grips my makeup to my skin, keeping everything locked in!
Power Grip Primer
This is just like the Power Grip Primer but mattifying for my oily-combo skin girlies! This primer comes in clutch during the summer season 😮💨
I may break a sweat but my makeup don’t!
Power Grip Matte Primer
This stuff is craaaazy pigmented, girl!
A little really does go a long way— saving you product and money! And it stays on my face all day with no touch ups!
Camo Liquid Blush
Physicians Formula is THAT girl for bronzers!!! I love this product in particular because it’s customizable to my skin!
So in the summer and winter months when my shade changes, I can continue to use this one product 🙏🏽
I also love the sleek, comp...
Magic Mosaic® Multi-Colored Custom Pressed Powder – Light Bronzer/ ...
The only powder I use. It keeps my makeup locked in, my pores blurred, and my skin matte without looking dry and patchy.
Photo Focus Loose Setting Powder
TOOLS
The perfect small set of soft, durable, and quality makeup brushes for someone just starting their makeup collection or who doesn’t use too many makeup products (like myself). I love doing my makeup because of these brushes!
Makeup Brushes
This is the best eyelash curler I’ve used and the only one that I buy now! I use the gold one for almond shaped eyes. As someone with straight, stubborn eyelashes, it grabs ahold of every little lash of mine and keeps them perfectly curled all day.
