Definitely the best mascara I’ve ever used. It gives amazing volume to the lashes and doesn’t smudge. The brush is excellent, and it comes in three shades: black, brown, and dark blue. There is also a mini version of the black mascara, and the price ...

A small eyeshadow set very affordable and perfect to carry in your bag. All the shades are beautiful, depending on your taste. My favorite are the first three: the first two are great for everyday looks, and the third one is perfect for more special ...

I’m usually not a fan of these sticks, but these turned out to be great. I got them mainly for the bronzer, since I prefer bronzer in stick form, and the blush is excellent. I’m not a big fan of the highlighter because I don’t use it much. I bought i...

Another brown mascara I tried and found to be excellent, maybe even better than the Glossier one. It also comes in black, but I haven’t tried that shade. Price: $4.99.

My favorite bronzer I shared a picture with three shades, but there are more. It blends beautifully; I usually apply it directly to my face and then blend, but if you want a softer look, apply it to the brush first. Very affordable. My only complaint...

Maybelline Fit Me foundation. I usually use BB creams, but I’ve tried several foundations and this one is among the better ones. It’s matte, affordable, and looks great on the skin. Price: $11.99.

The viral Essence concealer honestly, it’s okay. It’s not anything too amazing, but it does have good coverage. You only need to apply a very small amount to cover an imperfection on the skin. Definitely worth buying.
