The Armani luminous silk foundation IS amazing as everyone says. The new formulation did not take away from the old formula, like most upgraded formulas usually do. It is buildable coverage from a medium blurring layer, or build it up for full covera...
Armani Luminous Silk Natural Glow Blurring foundation

The perfect concealer amongst it's peers. Due to the nature of the product being for studio wear, it offers full coverage with a small amount of product. I did not have to colour correct under my eyes before applying it, which meant that only one thi...
Dior Backstage Concealer

I doubt you have seen a grwm on social media where One Size setting spray is not used. It sells out incredibly quickly because it does what it claims to do! The best part for me is that it is waterproof.

The updated luminous silk concealer is just as amazing as the foundation. In fact if you are doing a "no make up" look, some tinted SPF and some of this magic concealer patted on blemishes and worked into the under eye will have you looking flawless....

The Dior stick foundation, in my opinion, is better than the liquid foundation. It can be used as foundation and with a great variety of shades, one can easily colour match! Or if you just need some concealer for spot correction and under eyes, it wo...
Dior Forever Skin Perfect 24H Multi-Use Foundation Stick

This is the perfect tinted SPF. You can use it under makeup, but the tint is enough to use on it's own for light coverage. The best part? It's SPF45! It's a mineral SPF which means it is not titanium dioxide based- the part that makes people react to...
MERIT Tinted Mineral Sunscreen SPF 45

This isn't sheer like a tint, but it isn't full coverage. I would say it's best for a summer lunch or evening. With added skincare, who could say no?
Charlotte's Beautiful Skin Foundation

These Merit blushes are so cute and little but pack a punch with the pigment. I find the "cheeky" shade universal for all skin shades. Or you can mix a few in order to get that sunset blush effect!
MERIT Flush Balm Cream Blush

Patrick Ta blush (my favourite shades are "she's that girl" & "soft launch") is the reverse blush. You apply the powder FIRST, and the cream second. This gives you that inner glow look

Set your makeup, blur your pores and look airbrushed by using this quad-coloured loose powder. There are various colour combos to best suit your needs and skin tones
Givenchy- Prisme Libre Loose Powder

This Yves Saint Laurent blush screams luxury. The package is just as lux as the actual blush. I miss when makeup used to come in gorgeous packaging and not plastic, so this was definitely on top of my wishlist. This deep berry colour, I feel, can be ...
YSL Make Me Blush 24H Buildable Powder

I've always loved Hugo Boss perfumes. Deep red is my winter fragrance and Boss the scent is the perfect summer, spring fragrance.

Recently purchased the Glow Play in blush please. I'm so I love with this blush. I have spent the last 6 years not wearing blush because I was never given the correct shades, even by professionals but this product saved the day. It's so easy to blend...
Glow Play Cushiony Blush - MAC Cosmetics

My number one choice for foundation. So worth the price. Full coverage and blends like a dream.

I have recently started using this daily. Great coverage and large shade selection. A little goes a long way.
MAC Cosmetics Studio Fix Powder Plus Foundation

I am a huge Estee Lauder fan and this powder is a great addition to my collection. It helps to set your makeup and adds a blurring effect. It is particularly great for summer when you need a little touch up to mattify those oily areas on the face. 10...

Rare beauty is pricey but for someone with arthritis in my hands, I love the fact that these bottles have an easy to use applicator! I like to use this pinky shade along with a red blush and a coral one to do a sunset blush moment!
Rare Beauty - Happy Soft Pinch Liquid Blush

Finally a product that gives you glitz and glam but doesn't dry you out! The glitter may seem counterintuitive as it usually gets stuck in your pores. This doesn't do that. Not only does it make you glow, but it has skincare inside of it!
One Size Glitter Waterproof Setting Spray

This is one of the most popular mascaras amongst many people. Perhaps the most luxurious item that people repurchase even if they buy mainly drugstore to midrange makeup, Lancôme is that one splurge I've seen in many make up bag. It's definitely one ...
Lancôme Lash Idôle Lengthening & Volumizing Mascara

This brow pencil is tiny and made for finer details to perfect your brows. It looks subtle and unnoticeable, but enough to fill in the brows that frames your face
Anastasia Beverly Hills Brow Wiz Precision Eyebrow Pencil

The product to tame those brow hairs. It's waterproof so your brows will stay put. The brush has 3 different sides. A long bristle side to brush the gel through & separate the hairs, short bristle side to shape them and then a flat side to just p...

This mascara is opthalmologist approved and great for sensitive eyes or those who wear contacts! The dense brush has many bristles to make sure every lash is coated. The best part? It's sweat proof

Mac stack mascara is the girl she thinks she is! Volume and length all in one and a waterproof option. I think the best part is that the products come in both mini and full sizes, making it perfect for all needs.

This is the ultimate splurge of all splurges. Granted I've only had samples myself, those samples have been treated like GOLD. The length and width in one is amazing. The wand can be found in many amazing mascaras, but the formula, especially in the ...

DIY a ring from the packaging: pull apart the parts and the silver YSL logo pops off and becomes a great ring! The viral candy glaze loveshine lip gloss is a nude lipgloss that is popular for a reason. It suits every skin tone, can go over every co...

My signature lipstick! I use this with the soar liner and it makes it look like I have lip filler. Absolutely love this shade and I stock up on them when on sale. The smell is also vanilla-like, so it does not repel one as other lipstick scents do

These are some of the best tones of lipliners. MAC liners have been a go-to amongst the beauty community and make up lovers for years for a reason. Strip down: is the barely there- your lips, but better. It's great for a lip contour Spice: At some p...
