Eyes

I like a natural look. Even when I wear eyeshadow and lashes, it's a natural, fresh vibe.

I've been using this brow product for about 2 years. I love how creamy it is. I have full brows, so I mainly use a little bit of this to shape and accentuate them. I use dark brown.

These are my favorite lashes. I've been using 421 for 2 years now. I'm picky on the lash band, and these look very natural. I get compliments when I wear these.

I like the smaller wand for my lower lashes. This is a mascara that I've been re-purchasing for years. This brand is just incredible.

I love the luster and pigment this lipgloss provides. It's not sticky and I like the applicator. It's like a glossy lipstick essentially. My favorite shades are the Mixed Berries and Primose. I pair them with a Revlon lip liner in the shade Sienna.
