On a budget? NYX’s Sweet Cheeks blush is the one for you! This creamy liquid blush has made my cheeks look and feel rosier than ever! During the spring and summer, I used the Coralicious blush to pop out that sunkissed look on my face.

Can’t wear some makeup without some primer and skin prep! This primer has been my holy grail because it’s the only one that doesn’t break me out and doesn’t cause dry patches on my face (because that’s the last thing I need🥲).

I also have really sensitive eyes so any form of lash glue that has horrible irritants in it not only makes my eyes water, but also unfortunately make my lashes collapse 🫩 This is my holy grail right here and it has not failed on me yet.

These are truthfully my favorite lippies because it's super buildable and you can make your lips either super noticeably a different color or put one layer on and have a natural shade!

Fun fact: I use this for contour and to line my lips. This formula is so legendary and it sculpts all the parts of my face that I wish! The texture is so smooth and it's so blendable.
