A non-sticky gloss that keeps my lips shiny all day without tugging them - my quick grab between appointments when I just want a little shine.
NYX Professional Makeup Butter Gloss Non-Sticky Lip Gloss
A drugstore foundation whose shade range actually matched me the first try - I reached for it when I wanted an even base without spending on a counter brand.
