All things Lips and Lip Combos!
NYX is one of my favorite brands in general, I’ve only paid $6 for each gloss I’ve bought! My favorites are their muse shades, especially fortune cookie!! Smooth application and all day shine!
Butter Gloss Non-Sticky Lip Gloss | NYX Professional Makeup
This So Jelly Lip Balm I bought while in Baltimore at my favorite beauty supply in the city! (Shoutout to dem!) I bought it back in April and it STILL isn’t gone! It hydrates my lips and adds a pink tint (tint depends on the color.) The applicator ti...
Ruby Kisses So Jelly Tinted Lip Balm Hydrate
This is probably my absolute favorite gloss bomb from Ms. Robyn Fenty OKAY!? It added this light pink glimmer to my lip combo that I fell in love with. Genuinely felt like a Barbie! The application is smooth and it lasted me about 5 months so I can’t...
$weet Mouth Gloss Bomb Universal Lip Luminizer - FENTY BEAUTY by Rihanna
This lip scrub did wonders. I loved the way it applied like a lip balm. I do recommend using a finger to really get the scrub activated and to help with ridding your lips of that dead skin. Smells great and lasts long if you don’t wear it out!
Sephora Exfoliating Lip Scrub
This is the lip liner I swear by! Not to compare but I do prefer this brand over nyx when it comes to liners! It stays on long even if I don’t set it, the pigment is rich, and it applies very evenly and securely. I love a matte lip, so liners that se...
L.A. Girl Lipliner
Cork is one of those liners I blend in with a darker shade and it comes out so rich every single time. MAC has strong liners and mine has definitely lasted over 6 months
MAC Lip Pencil | Whirl, Nightmoth, Cork, Chestnut & Spice Lip Liners
This plumping gloss is perfect for a finishing gloss, however it’s not as bubblegum pink as people would think!! It does have a bit of a clear outcome, but I still love it to go over my baby pink lip combo!
Pink Paloma Lip Plumping Gloss - e.l.f. Cosmetics
Just started using elf lip pencils! I have their darkest brown right now and I love the way it blends out doesn’t feel drying on the lips and doesn’t run out too fast after sharpening!
Lip Liners and Lip Pencils
Base!
I finallyyyyy got my little shopaholic claws on this pot concealer!!! Got it from my local Ulta beauty but you can def catch a deal if you order straight from the sight! It applies soooo smooth and has a little scooper thingy for the application. I p...
r.e.m. beauty sweetener concealer
This is my go-foundation for FULL coverage, I usually only use one layer and blend out very well!! Always layer this with pressed powder, and it feels super lightweight throughout my days.
Studio Fix Fluid SPF 15 Foundation | 67 Soft Matte Shades
I will NEVER! Not apply this after I apply my MAC studio fix. I loveeee a matte look on the makeup so this helps flatten out and mattify my base. I apply twice. Once after spraying a setting mist over my foundation, then again after it’s dried.
Pro.Face Matte Pressed Powder
More drug store recs!!! Before I had the opportunity to invest more in makeup and learn more about my products, the beauty supply was my holy grail for makeup. This setting powder I swear by it keeps me matte, and gives me a great bake!
L.A. Girl PRO Powder | High Definition Setting Powder
I add a small layer of this loose powder over my entire base before setting, especially over my concealer ! A little messy though! Every time I open it it kind of gets everywhere 😒
Instant Finish Blurring Loose Powder
Before I transitioned to using the r.e.m. sweetener concealer, I started actually using this in a lighter shade for concealer. Never creased and set soooo beautifully! Give it a try!
Fit Me® Matte + Poreless Foundation Makeup
Loveeeee this! Just started using the under painting method and this is my go to blush. It’s so pigmented and has so many fun shades.
Camo Liquid Blush
This sets my makeup the absolute best. I have pretty dry skin naturally so after I set with loose powder and spray this it livens my look up a bit, but doesn’t take away that matte finish.
Dewy Coconut Setting Spray Mist
I JUST bought this a week ago, I’m going to try to spray this AFTER I spray my dewy setting mist. Because I have dry skin I feel this definitely sets the makeup but it makes it look just a bit dry. Over all though it DOES THE JOB! Makeup will not bud...
L'Oreal Paris Infallible 3-Second Setting Spray
I actually have three of these color corrects, the red one, the blue one and the white one. I used the blue one in the winter time to take some of that warmth out of my foundation, the white one to also lighten it up a bit, and I use the red one to h...
HD Pro.Conceal Color Correctors
Just got two of these powders (one in the banana rich as well as the translucent rich.) I’m switching out my LA pro girl powders and I do feel these are a better fit for me. They’re super soft when applied to the skin. They dusted off beautifully and...
Bake & Set Soft Focus Setting Powder - Translucent Rich
Needed a pallet as a beginner when it comes to eye makeup, and I figured I could start with some nudes, and this is the perfect pallet!! Has dark browns for smoky eyes blacks for smoky eyes and gold as well and also some neutrals!
Nudes Eyeshadow Palette
I threw out the majority of my brushes and started fresh with a morphe brush pack and I highly recommend you guys do the same. They give me a high grade blend and application process. Everything goes on so smoothly it doesn’t feel like it’s clogging ...
Foundation, Eyeshadow, & Contour Brushes
This is the only blush I’m using lately. I’m huge on pink blush (as much as I love orange) and when I say this three pack is perfect. Each blush is different consistency. One is a little bit more like a putty. The other has like a shimmer and shine v...
Cheek Thrills Multi-Finish Face Trio
Trying a new concealer to help me with my allergies I hate that my eyes water after I do concealer. These have somewhat helped with that but not all the way I think it’s a me thing however I will say this is probably one of the best concealers I’ve e...
Instant Age Rewind® Eraser Multi-Use Concealer
Skincare!
This is allll I’m using to remove my makeup. I could have layers on layers for my beat, but applying this all over my face then letting it sit for 30 seconds does wonders. The makeup literally melts off. I wipe my face with a towel then go in with a ...
Cold Cream Facial Cleanser and Makeup Remover
Couldn’t find my EXACT brand, but micellar water is also something I use pre-wash when it comes to my face routine. I also use this after I use a cold cream to remove my makeup for any left over makeup!!
Micellar Water
This is the only serum I use for pumping religiously! I apply under my eyes and around my smile lines. Helps wake me up!
Good Molecules Hyaluronic Acid Serum 30 ml
I have some dark spots I’m working on brightening up and so far I see some progress. It’s not the fastest working, BUT I do see some improvements over the course of the last few months.
Good Molecules Niacinamide Brightening Toner 120 ml
This is my basic moisturizer I apply after my entire routine! Really has kept my face looking moisturized without looking oily. Lightweight and unscented!
Moisturizing Lotion for Dry to Normal Skin
THIS?!? I ONLY use this and mix with baking soda to create a light paste to wash my face. The baking soda I do twice a week for a double cleanse, but for the most part this is all I need for my basic wash.
Hydro Boost Gel Cleanser for Hydration
Just got this so no long term results but so far it feels like my skin is being fed after I do a thorough cleansing. Makes my skin feel smooth and look glossy after application. (I got the mini to start!!) $20 at Sephora!
Rhode Glazing Milk
I have been using the purifying foaming cleanser from this brand and it’s amazing. It’s not scented and as someone with sensitive skin that’s something I’m always looking for. My face feels refreshed afterwards, but I do recommend having a great mois...
