skin
absolutely love the coverage in this! I do admit this is a little bit pricer of an item, but the coverage is TOO good to not have. I have had this for about a year now and I am in LOVE. I have shade 1C and its a perfect shade for the winter time as I...
Power Plush Longwear Concealer
im not somebody who loves full coverage, only when it comes to under eyes. this foundation / skin tint is perfect for me. it gives me enough coverage to cover a pimple when i need to, and lets me get rid of red spots. I do love this, but if you're lo...
Skin Tint Blurring Elixir
this was my first ever concealer and it works out great! this is great for a budget and for something full coverage. I have horribly dry skin and this helps me so it doesnt look like I have skin crumbs all over my face. if you're looking for somethin...
Hydrating Camo Concealer
i have used this since it came out and I still have the same bottle. I love this blush, it works out great for my blush blindness. I will warn you, a little goes a long way even with blush blindness! Its super pigmented and such a pretty color.
Camo Liquid Blush
I'm not going to lie here.. i love the blush. I haven't used the eyeshadow too much but it is beautiful, just SUPER pigmented and shimmery. I do love the lipstick though when I'm using lip liner. onto the blush, its a perfect pink/purple blush and it...
r.e.m. beauty x Wicked: For Good Elphaba Makeup Set
this is a great starter powder. I don't use it too much unless im going to a formal event but trust my makeup stays in PLACE. I absolutely love it when I do use it, and it's a super light feeling. I for sure recommend for newer makeup artists or for ...
Pinklipps Loose Setting Powder Translucent 25g
of COURSE this is on here. its amazing for me as a college student who decides to bed rot a little too long before getting up and going to class. perfect for in a rush or just perfect for setting that base in. I absolutely love!
OVERSIZED SPONGE
i honestly do love these. I needed new makeup brushes and these work out wonderfully. I only use a couple of the brushes, but theres so many that are perfect for eyeshadow, blush, and precise lines. I also love and use the eyebrow brush everyday. thi...

Anything to do with eyes!
i love that it’s cheap and it makes my lashes super long! i also love the water proof one since i teach swim lessons!
Lash Princess False Lash Effect Mascara
i love how pigmented these are and for such a cheap price! Im a cheap person when it comes to makeup, and I've found a lot of good things to supplement big beauty brands and I'd say this is it! The pinks are beautiful and I use them everyday for a wa...
TINGPHE GLAM PALETTE Cool Toned Eyeshadow Palette Black Smokey ...
i have used this eyeliner for about 3 years now. I haven't switched ONCE. I am in LOVE with the pigment and the brush. it makes my eyeliner so sharp everytime! I also love that it's double sided so I can color my waterline as well with the same pencil! A bit expensive, but it lasts so long and works amazing!
double take eyeliner
this was the first ever waterline pencil I ever used and it was such a great start that i STILL use it. I love the pencil color and the pigment it gives off. the utensil just also has a perfect hold to it making it easy to apply. absolute must have f...
The Gel Eyeliner
this was the first ever eyeliner brush i ever used. it was such an easy applicator as well as the utensil was just easy to hold. this pencil has seen my trial and errors, and its perfect for someone just starting out!
The Liquid Pen
i LOVE this mascara. it coats my lashes so nicely, and i use it everyday. I switched to this mascara after every mascara I was using was giving me black undereyes. this mascara does NOT do this, its perfect. the small applicator is perfect for separa...
Telescopic Intense Lash Length Original Mascara
this is one of the best curlers I have ever used. its super cheap as well as curls my lashes wonderfully. I always have problems with my lashes falling down after a couple minutes or even hours, but this doesn't do that for me! my lashes are curled a...
Metal Eyelash Curler Tool | NYX Professional Makeup
lips!
honestly i did love this. its expensive but its a wonderful formula and it looks amazing on my lips. i am VERY picky when it comes to lips and I love this formula because its not super sticky like most oils or glosses.
Dior Addict Lip Glow Oil: hydrating lip oil with a gloss effect | Dior US
this was the best dupe to the dior i've ever gotten. it is for sure more sticky, but I can get past that with how shiny and pretty it makes my lips look. its perfect for layering over a good lip combo!
Dior Addict Lip Glow Oil: hydrating lip oil with a gloss effect | Dior US
listen, if you haven't used vaseline here and there i know you're lying to me. this one smells super nice and its great for on the go or in the winter. this one stays in my backpack at all times for when my lips get dry. its amazing.
Vaseline® Lip Therapy® Rosy Lips Stick
you're lying to me if your lips haven't gotten SUPER dry once and a while in the winter. I go to college in Wisconsin and my lips are fighting for their life throughout the winter, but like the name says, it repairs my dry lips like a dream! theres s...
Intensive Dry Lip Repair Treatment Balm by eos
honestly, i didn't buy this. my friend did and it was the wrong shade for her, but i use this all the time as one of my go-to lip combo parts. i use the shade 006-REEF and its a nice color for me with a beautiful lip liner and gloss. I'm in love with...
Hydrating Lifter Lip Gloss with Hyaluronic Acid
genuinely love this stuff and im guilty of using it as more than just a lipstick. lately this has been my go-to color, and it fits my skin tone super well! It's super creamy and long lasting!
HOT FLUFF Apple Pie Velvet Matte Lipstick | 100% Clean.
I just bought this less than a month ago and i do really love it honestly. I wish it peeled off a bit easier, but the color is worth the struggle. I have the color cherry bark and its a nice light red, but also a pink.
SHEGLAM Fall In Line Peel Off Lip Liner Stain
is it really my list if theres no kylie? I love the lip liner and the lipstick, but i dont usually use those two together since they're the same color. I use booked and busy and pair the liner with some other lipstick and gloss. they're perfect and i...
Lip Blush Kit
such a glittery gloss and i love it. it isn't too grainy either which is such a plus because its so hard to find with glittery gloss! I 100% recommend and get compliments on it all the time!

now this is quite expensive but it has many great options here. if you're looking for more budget friendly… i wouldn't shop here, but if youre looking for high-end good quality makeup, i would come here!
Sephora
god i love kylie cosmetics. the first thing i got from her was her skincare pack at the ripe age of about 14 and I loved her ever since. she has the perfect makeup for me and if you haven't had a chance to try this out, you NEED to!
