Bubble: First class cleansing oil (discount code in desc.)

i love using this toner to prime on my natural makeup days. it leaves my skin plump, smooth, and extremely hydrated. it’s only 16$, and Bubble has a lot of other great products on their website as well. use code “ASHDEN5K63” for % off your order.
Bubble: Cosmic silk
GLASS SKIN in a bottle. i definitely think the claims of ‘brighter skin and a more glowy complexion’ are accurate. it’s non irritant and helps smooth over texture. there are also two other kinds of creams. the green container is a thicker cream meant...
Laneige: Water sleeping mask
Primer ❤️
Fenty beauty is expensive, it’s an investment. i think it’s a smart investment but that’s up to you.
so far i have only tried the instant retouch primer, and i loved it. it felt extremely hydrating on my skin, and it smelled lovely without being irr...
Fenty Beauty: Pro filt'r retouch primer
ACTUALLY lasts & it’s never caked up on me. this primer can (and will) take whatever you layer on top of it. it definitely gives a real-life filter finish.
Huda Beauty: Easy blur primer
This primer is cheaper & works better than the Milk Hydrogrip. at this point it’s arguably become the most well known gripping primer in the industry. i get the hype, and i agree. it makes my makeup last without creating any pilling or highlighti...
E.L.F: Power grip primer
with think link the lumi glotion is only 14$, with other links having it for 16-18$ (:

NYX: Glue gripping primer

Bobbi Brown: Face base moisturizer & primer
this primer is a satisfying slushy texture! it feels cooling on the skin and blurs ALL texture. your pores will be gone under your makeup. make sure you let it dry fully on your skin for the perfect smooth, flawless base.
Milani: Conceal + perfect primer
made with salicylic acid to fight acne! i love makeup thats also skincare. why wouldn’t you want your products to heal your skin if you’re already wearing them all day? this primer has a green tone to color correct redness, plus its reasonably priced...
E.L.F: Acne fighting putty primer
Eyes 🧡
YES YES YES 😫 this was my first expensive eyeshadow pallet purchase and it was so worth it. i believe the pallet is around 35$ & has the most iconic color scheme. there are two matte shades, a light tan and a darker red-toned brown. there are al...
Anastasia Beverly Hills: ‘Spice’ mini eyeshadow palette
this mascara is high quality! the tube is heavy, it doesn’t feel like cheap plastic. and the extra weight in the lid makes holding & applying very easy. i think the formula holds a curl very well, and it provides perfect length. i always run a la...
Too Faced: Better than sex mascara
i use this mascara every single day. it doesn’t matter what other mascara i wear, i always add this on the tips of my lashes. the volume it creates is insane! my favorite is the black bottle, but ive also tried the pink and i like that formula as wel...
Maybelline: Sky high mascara
this pallet is a great starter for someone who hasn’t really done a lot of eyeshadow before, or someone who wants a staple palette. i use this eyeshadow everyday. when in a pinch, i can use some of the shades as powder contour or bronzer. there are s...
Makeup Revolution: Good vibes palette
this gel is perfection for keeping your brows natural and pigmented. you can use the soft applicator to maneuver the hairs where you want them while simultaneously coating with the light tint of color.
Glossier: Tinted brow gel
if you use this your brows will be STUCK. this brow gel is perfect at laying down each and every hair exactly where you want it. after you make sure your brows are on point, let it dry down for brows that are unmovable throughout the day. or if you’r...
NYX: Brow glue
this eyeliner will LASTTTT. i have to map out where i want my liner to go with eyeshadow first because the only way to get this to budge is an oil based cleanser. i use black, but i also really like the blue and purple colors.
NYX: Epic wear liner
this mascara is perfect for adding thickness to your lashes. i put one coat of this on my lashes before letting them dry, then i add a layer of secondary mascara for length if desired. the result is dark, full lashes that will hold a curl perfectly a...
L'Oreal Paris: Lash paradise mascara
the length this gives is unbeatable! this mascara is my holy grail for lashes that basically touch my brows. it’s easy to build up and doesn’t clump. the applicator is super precise, and it doesn’t smudge.
L'Oréal Paris: Telescopic mascara
FULL MATTE PALETTES ARE BACK! patrick blessed us with this, truly. finding a high quality eyeshadow pallet with even 2-3 cute fully matte shades in this day and age is tough! these shadows are the highest quality i’ve worked with, and they’re perfect...

L'Oreal Paris: Telescopic mascara
this collection is home to the ICONIC space cowboy shadow. it’s a light champagne pink-orange color, packed with glitter pigment. the swatches are absolutely stunning too! i also love ‘glitter rock’ too! these shadows don’t budge either, definitely d...
Urban Decay: Moondust glitter shadow
Foundation/concealers 💛
I use this concealer pretty much every day. I think that the shade I picked for my skintone (Oatmeal) is perfect. I think that it shows up with a very smoothing effect as well, which is amazing for textured under eyes.
Too Faced: Illuminating concealer
i adore Haus Labs products because of their skincare ingredients. this foundation is made with clean, natural ingredients that are made to improve your skin overtime. the finish is perfection, and doesn’t highlight texture or redness. i also find tha...
Haus Labs: Foundation
this went viral on tiktok for being neverending, & that is the TRUTH. it’s marketed as a skin tint but it has pretty good coverage! the finish is beautiful and the packaging is so unique. it looks and feels luxury.
Fenty Beauty: Blurring skin tint
Typically when you think of Juvia’s place, your mind might go to their powder blush duos. you might think about their powerful pigmented liquid blushes, or their wide range of beautiful lip glosses. but this product is a 10/10 that doesn’t get mentio...
Juvia's Place: I am magic concealer

Milani Cosmetics: Conceal & perfect foundation
i really enjoy this foundation. i love the satin finish, i think it does a good job of covering up texture on my skin. the foundation is buildable to a certain degree, but will slide around if your products underneath aren’t fully dry. but i have not...
E.L.F: Flawless satin foundation
7$ and comparable to highend brands is INSANE but essence definitely popped off. the finish on this foundation stick is natural, similar to a satin finish. the formula is super creamy and blendable, plus it doesn’t settle into creases or fine lines.
Essence: Foundation stick
i love this concealer. i use the white shade for my goth makeup of course, but i think the formula of their concealer shades is beautiful. the other colors definitely oxidize slightly, but the white stays true white. when looking at the website, if y...

It Cosmetics: Bye bye spot concealer
Contour/Bronzer 💚
I use the shade toasted & i love it. i like that it’s very creamy. it’s not too warm, but not completely grey like some other cream contours. it adds shadow & color at the same time, sculpting your face.
Milk Makeup: Sculpt stick
I recently got this liquid contour in the mail & I’m obsessed. It blends out easily & the shade I picked out isn’t too warm.
E.L.F: liquid contour & bronzer
i love this contour. it’s truly the other half to the Rare Beauty liquid blushes. i think there are some very nice shades, both cooler toned and warm. the cool shades are true cool shades from what i’ve heard, and i can personally recommend the shade...
Rare Beauty: Soft pinch liquid contour
people don’t talk about this product enough. the formula is beautifully creamy, and blends like a dream without losing too much pigment. there are cooler toned shades available that create a perfect sculpted shadow on your face. definitely worth the ...
Dior: Forever skin contour stick
these bronzers are beautiful. they’re inexpensive and add a perfect sun-kissed color to the face. there are many different shades for all different skin tones. the pan size is huge on these too, much like the buttermelt blushes. and they blend effort...
NYX: Buttermelt bronzer
i feel like the shade range is kind of pathetic, but the product itself is amazing. it’s a very blendable formula, in cute packaging that makes application easy. the shade that works for me is a little warm for my liking, but it works well during the...
E.L.F: Halo glow contour wand

Makeup by Mario: Contour stick
Blush/highlighter 💙
This blush is gorgeous. You can try 2 mini sizes for 25.00 on the website, I got the darker of the options. I love the berry shade. Usually I’m not a fan of shimmery blushes, but I found this liquid blush becomes matte very nicely with setting powder...
Huda Beauty: Blush Filter
YES - the pictures are accurate to show the finish, it’s truly that beautiful in real life! this blush gives a blurring glow, and it’s a perfect flush of color. i’m absolutely obsessed with the baby pink color, but there are other options too. it’s a...
R.E.M Beauty: Hypernova satin matte blush
a golden pink highlighter. i have nothing else to say, it’s a golden pink highlighter. the color is EVERYTHING. do yourself & your makeup a favor: add this to your collection!
Benefit: ‘Tickle’ highlighter
i use the shade “tequila sunset,” it’s a beautiful orangey pink. i like that it’s a partially orange toned blush, but doesn’t bring out the orange tones in other areas of my face. it brings the right amount of beautiful warmth to my cheeks.
Too Faced: Blush
adorable shades with POWERFUL color payoff. i love this pocket size blush. the formula is creamy and has a soft satin finish. the stick doesn’t take off makeup underneath it, and it’s easy to blend.
Rhode: Pocket blush
i use the shade ‘pearlized’ on my inner corner and high points of my face. it helps to give that glowy, lively finish. i really like the color too.
ColourPop: Super shock highlighter
this highlighter is blinding and perfect. but what did we expect from our favorite drag queens?? one side is a blue shimmer, white the other is pink. when they reflect in the light together they look purple, it’s breathtaking.
KIMCHI X TRIXIE BFF4EVR: Double diamonds
BEAUTIFUL matte liquid blush. this cushion is packed to the brim with pigment and the finish is beautiful. i love the original Rare Beauty liquid blushes but this cushion (& it being matte hello?!) is absolutely gorgeous.
Rare Beauty: Soft pinch bouncy blush
tower 28 has so many beautiful products. this blush was one of the first cream blushes i tried that i actually loved! it was so easy to blend and it doesn’t stick to dry spots of skin. the finish is much like the 3rd picture in person. it’s a beautif...

Fenty Beauty: Cream blush
now these blushes are PIGMENTED ASF! they’re the most pigmented drugstore powder blush i’ve tried. there are a lot of color options available, some matte and some more shimmery. they’re at a reasonable price and have amazing color payoff.
NYX: Buttermelt blushes
Setting 💜
this setting spray is 10/10! it creates a beautiful glass-skin like finish. i find that on me it doesn’t highlight texture as much as i thought it might. it just melts all my makeup into my skin and makes it feel way less heavy or cakey.
One Size: Powder melt setting spray
Huda is everything. She’s mattifying, she’s soft, she’s beautiful. I usually use the pink shade, which is called ‘cherry blossom’ but I also love ‘sugar cookie’ to cut my contour.
Huda Beauty: Easy bake loose powder
i live by this spray. it is my FAVORITE drug store setting spray by a long shot and melts my powder perfectly. i have dry/sensitive skin and it doesn’t irritate me at all. my only con is the alcohol smell is stronggg. definitely worth it for me, beca...
Milano Cosmetics: Make it last (original)
the before & after is unbelievable. this powder mattifies like no other, nothing on your face will be left shiny. it doesn’t feel cakey, but sets everything in place perfectly. the pink powder is so cute & cools down concealers that are maybe...
One Size: Ultimate blurring setting powder
i use this powder for under my eyes. it doesn’t crease too hard on my skin at all and it’s very brightening. i found it at walgreens on discount for 2$, and i’ve repurchased twice since then at full price. as you can see from the 3rd picture, my curr...
JOAH: blur-fection setting powder
i spray this on my sponge before blending my base. i also spray it on my face to blend out any under eye creases before setting with powder. i usually don’t use it to finish off my makeup, but it does work well for that too.
E.L.F: Makeup mist & set
my favorite matte pressed powder by FAR - drugstore or high end. this powder is perfection. it creates a smooth, full coverage, and very very matte finish. it works well with every product i’ve used it over top of, and never disappoints me. i use a l...
Maybelline: Fit me powder
this powder is a skin PERFECTOR! the packaging is beautiful and heavy. the formula of the product itself is light and weightless. it creates a pore-minimizing finish and will help you have the smoothest base ever. you can also get your powder case en...
Dolce & Gabbana: Fig skin perfecter
Lips 💗
it feels like skincare for your lips. the gloss colors are stunning. the gloss itself is intensely hydrating and nourishing on the lips. it creates a beautiful bouncy shine for big, juicy lips.
Refy: High-Shine lip gloss
I have the glow reviver lip oil in EVERY original color & a couple of the newer ones as well. They are phenomenal. I find that they tend to leak if you leave them on their side, but I’m able to keep them upright and have had no issues since then.
E.L.F: Glow reviver lip oil
oh this plump is INTENSE. it only takes about 15 seconds to start feeling the tingle, then the little pokes. it can be a little painful, but the after product is so worth it. my lips get very plump. i have two different colors, original and the pink ...
Too Faced: Lip injection
I use this product very often, usually in the shade ‘cinnamon dreams.’ I love the way it looks both before and after it dries.
E.L.F: Glossy lipstain
kimchi beauty is perfection. everyone was obsessed with this lip liner on TikTok a couple months ago, and i for one never stopped. it’s easy to sharpen, there are beautiful colors available, and the staying power is insane. it’s everything i could wa...
Kimchi Beauty: Y.U.M. lip liner
The smoothest lip product I have EVER used. I think that calling this a ‘butter balm’ is the most accurate name possible. It’s a lovely consistency, feeling smooth on the lips. I also love the colors and smells, they are very fitting.
Summer Fridays: Lip butter
one of my favorite drugstore lip options, and definitely my go-to when i don’t know what to wear on my lips. i picked up the color ‘drive’ and it’s a perfect shade for me. it’s like a ‘my lips but better’ including a hint of brown because i love a br...
E.L.F: O face satin lipstick
i like laneige’s squeeze tubes a lot better than the pot lip masks. this formula is super nourishing and feels slick not sticky. my favorite one is Mango, it looks good over most lipliners too!
Laneige: Lip glowy balm
Cooling, juicy lips with a beautiful shine. E.LF… calling this a lip plumper is laughable. do not buy this if you’re looking for something that will burn and tingle. but, if you’re looking for a gorgeous click stick this is for you.
it has a sort of...
E.L.F: Pout clout gloss pen
this gloss feels so soft on the lips! very hydrating and not sticky at all. the applicator is gentle & the perfect size. my favorite color is sesame, it’s an adorable berry shade that compliments all skin tones.

Tarte: Full coverage concealer brush
I love these brushes. they’re perfect for putting together a smooth, flawless base. each brush is made for a different part of your routine, see the second picture. i haven’t had any issues with hairs falling out, and they’re easy to clean!
Morphe: Base brushes
this brush is very helpful for blending out concealer around brows. i use it for my everyday brows but also for my goth eyebrows, because it can be a challenge to be precise with blending. i think this brush makes it a lot easier. i also haven’t had ...
Real Techniques: Expert concealer brush (210)
this brush is SOFT. when i first got it i was shocked at how easy it made applying foundation and base products. the hairs stay in and it blends seamlessly. it’s definitely worth adding to your kit.
Real Techniques: Expert face brush (200)
these are my go to sponges to pick up when i need a restock. i really like the way they blend when wet, and when they’re dry they don’t immediately soak up all the product.
Real Techniques: Miracle complexion blending sponge
