Face essentials
I’ve tried Maybelline Fit Me, and it feels light and natural on the skin. It blends easily and makes my face look smooth without feeling heavy. Really good for everyday makeup, especially for the price.
Fit Me® Matte + Poreless Foundation Makeup
I’ve been using e.l.f. Hydrating Camo Concealer and I really like it. It’s creamy but doesn’t feel heavy, and it covers dark circles and blemishes well. It blends easily and still looks natural on the skin. For the price, it’s such a good concealer f...
Hydrating Camo Concealer
I’ve tried Milani Baked Blush and I love how soft and pigmented it is — it gives a natural, glowing color to my cheeks that’s easy to build up if I want more. It blends really nicely and lasts well throughout the day. And it’s price is $8-10 which is...
Baked Blush
I’ve used e.l.f. Halo Glow Highlighter and it gives such a pretty, luminous glow without looking glittery. It feels smooth on the skin and blends easily, so your cheekbones look highlighted but still natural. For the price, the glow is honestly amazi...
Halo Glow Liquid Highlighter Wand
Then I tried the liquid Baby Got Bronze, and here’s the vibe: it can give a beautiful, sun-kissed glow — especially if you like that natural, dewy base. Reviewers love that it blends smoothly and feels light on the skin, and the pipette design is coo...
სტიკი 10 Baby Bronzin 4637 ესენსი - Essence
When I first used it, I was like “wow this is so light.” It doesn’t feel heavy on your face like some powders that make you feel cakey. It almost feels like you’re just putting a little soft dust on the skin — and that’s honestly nice for everyday us...
Essence - ესენსი კომპაქტური პუდრა all about matt 5543
Once it’s on, my foundation went on way smoother. Instead of sticking in little bumps or visible pores, the base looked more even and blurred — like a soft‑focus filter IRL. I remember thinking, “Huh, for $8 it actually makes my foundation look bette...
Baby Skin® Instant Pore Eraser® Primer
Eyes&lashes
I tried Essence Lash Princess Mascara and it really makes my lashes look longer and fuller without clumping. It’s super affordable but still gives a nice dramatic look, perfect for everyday or going out. It costs around $4-5
Essence - ესენსი ტუში lash princess, ყოველი წასმისას მომხიბვლელ იერს ...
When you draw it on, it lays down smooth and creamy — not dry or scratchy. It glides easily across the lash line and doesn’t pull at your skin, even if you apply it without a primer first. It feels soft, almost like a silky kohl, not a stiff pencil t...
Color Icon Kohl Liner Pencil | Baby's Got Black
When I first opened one of these tiny palettes (the ones with 4 shades), I was like, “wait this tiny thing actually packs colour?” — especially for something so cheap and small. The shadows feel soft and smooth, not chalky. They don’t feel gritty or ...
Bite-Size Mini Eyeshadow Palette
From the first time I pulled this out of the drawer, I noticed the tip is super fine and precise — like that tiny tip makes it easy to draw hair‑like strokes instead of just a blocky line. That’s huge for natural brows.
Micro Brow Eyebrow Pencil | NYX Professional Makeup
Luscious lips👄
I’ve used NYX Butter Gloss and I love how smooth and shiny it feels on my lips. It’s not sticky, and the color looks really pretty but natural. For such an affordable gloss, it’s definitely one of my favorites to wear every day.
Butter Gloss Non-Sticky Lip Gloss | NYX Professional Makeup
I grabbed this liner one day when I needed something cheap but good — and when I drew it on, it didn’t feel scratchy or stiff like some cheap pencils do. It just glided on my lips. Like “oh okay, this feels CREAMY” — not like I was dragging a dry sti...
Shop Creamy Lip Liners & Pencils | NYX Professional Makeup
When I first swiped it on, I was honestly surprised. The texture is super creamy, like… it glides on smoothly without tugging or feeling stiff. Some drugstore lipsticks feel waxy or dry, but this one just sits on your lips and feels soft. I didn’t ev...
Super Lustrous™ Lipstick - With Moisturizing Formula!
When I first put it on, I noticed it’s rich but not sticky — kinda thick but smooth enough that it glides over dry lips like butter. It’s not waxy or weird, it just melts into your lips and gives that instantly soft feeling. The peppermint version gi...
Beeswax Lip Balm
