The Ordinary Glycolic Acid 7% Exfoliating Toner
easy to use toner but does the job! a few sprays and you're good to go. makes your skin feel fresh. a tip of mines to to lightly dab it into your skin after spraying, with your fingers and give it a min or 2 then proceed with your other products.
Nature's Nourishment Witch Hazel & Rose Water 250ml Pump
just as its name, it really is “super stay” because it 100% lasts for the whole day. This foundation lasts long and has a very gentle formula. the coverage is superb and its definitely buildable according to the look you want to achieve

literally the perfect blush. it comes in 4 different shades and each shade has just the right amount of pigment and the liquid blends soo smoothly, its just mwah!

a little goes a long way with this product. it is super pigmented and instantly does the job, one swatch of this on your brush and you're good to go, it adds definition to your look.
Wet n Wild Color Icon Bronzer Sunset Striptease
another one of my absolute favs for those “no-makeup” look days! gives an amazing natural glow to the skin and its hydrating.
Essence Drop Of Sunshine Bronzing Drops
hands down the most excellent makeup remover. just drop a little on a cotton pad and your makeup is out within seconds. it also doesnt leave a sticky sensation on the skin after use
Neutrogena Hydro Boost Triple Micellar Water 400ml
i can assure you, your makeup will NOT move throughout the day. this spray dissolves within seconds and does not crease or make your makeup look "cakey" and the waterproof is just chefs kiss, no rain or tears can move your makeup!
Fixing Sprays
it gives my lashes that look as if i were wearing lash extensions. the volume and length once applied is crazyyyy (good), all 3 work amazingly although i recommend the false lash effect because it really does give it that look.
Lash Princess Mascara 12ml - Essence
i absolutely stand by this product. when using this you dont need concealer. this product does it all for me, although it is light coverage but medium if you build more product, its absolutely phenomenal
Shop BB Cream | All-in-One Coverage, Care & SPF
having acne prone skin, and being left with hyperpigmentation this product has been my go to for several years now, in fact anything in the CeraVe range is amazing for your skin, regardless of acne prone skin
Cerave Blemish Control Cleanser 236ml
available in a variety of shades, this lipstick is hydrating on the lips and also lasts long. the shade is amazing
this is definitely a “grip”, because the grip it has to my makeup needs to be studied! its also very hydrating on your skin, perfect for normal to dry skin.
