No need for high end foundation when this exists. It's my GO-To foundation. Great coverage. Perfect for mature skin. Excellent shade range.

Yes, this really works. It sets everything and it stays all day. I've worn this for hours and hours and my makeup doesn't come off.

This is a great dupe for the Huda Beauty pink powder or the One/Size pink powder, but at a more affordable price. I had a person comment that it looked great on my mature skin.

Totally melts off all of your makeup. I've gone through several jars of this and keep rebuying. No need to spend more on high end make up balms - this one works great.
Holy Hydration! Makeup Melting Cleansing Balm

This is like a combo of sunscreen and the Loreal Lumi Glotion in one. It goes on smooth and provides a great glow. It's slightly tinted so you can wear it without foundation or a great glowy skin. I use this every day underneath makeup.

This is a dupe for the Tarte Creamy Creaseless Concealer. As we mature, I've noticed I need a creamy concealer. This one is creamy, glides on smooth, doesn't cake, and provides great coverage. Mature skin approved.
Healthy Skin Radiant Cream Concealer

This is my favorite milky toner. I love the packing too. It's small enough for travel too. Goes on smooth and makes a great layer for your makeup. It's great for mature skin too.

This is a great, creamy bronzer that Shelby Ann uses in her viral drugstore makeup routine.

These Elf Camo Blushes are amazing. No need to spend a lot of money for a liquid blush. They are very pigmented so you only need a touch on the cheek to get a beautiful color shade. They last forever! Get them in every color.

Great powder bronzer that comes in a good shade variety. It smells like you're on vacation! Very light scent.

This is an excellent lip balm. I love the purple one - amazing color and smells like grape. These are just as good as the high end balsm, but only 9 bucks!

Will be buying this again. It's glossy, but not sticky. Looks amazing on top of the L'Oreal Colour Riche Satin Lipstick, and any lipstick that I wear. This is part of ShelbyAnn's viral drugstore makeup routine.
MAYBELLINE Lifter Gloss Hydrating Lip Gloss

I'm obsessed with this creamy lipstick. I have 799 and 800 and love them both. One is shimmery and one is matte. Gloss looks great on top of both.
