She's a Natural
NEW PRODUCT ALERT. Have used this some and first of all, as a lover of the color green and not a total packaging snob, lets talk about this packaging! This comes in a stunning emerald green bottle and feels luxurious beyond the cost. Now lets get int...
ciele bronze & PROTECT SPF 50+ bronzing concentrate
A classic in a genre for sure. I thought the Tarte version was a contender but now I would pit this with Ciele. Ciele has a very natural glow, and while this is also a very natural cool glow (not orange), I do think it has more of a “glow” in it. Not...
D-Bronzi™ Anti-Pollution Bronzing Drops - Drunk Elephant
I have used this foundation for years. This and Ilia Skin Tint have been my Thelma and Louise since about 2020. This foundation is light coverage, and I would say could maybe be built to light-medium, but I honestly believe the Ilia is higher coverag...
VITALUMIÈRE AQUA Ultra-Light Skin Perfecting Sunscreen Makeup Broad ...
IF I HAD TO PICK ONE, I WOULD PICK HER. Honestly a product I picked up a few years ago and have never even thought about looking back. I am more of a natural makeup girly on a day-to-day and this product is a can't-live-without on my list. I am on my...
ILIA: Super Serum Skin Tint SPF 40 Foundation
She's spendy I know, but I tried the Colorscience alternative, and while it seems like a great sunscreen and doesn't cause any issues with my skin, it's just not the same. Theis is a product I used 6 days a week in the summer and generally go foundat...
sunbetter TONE SMART SPF 75 Sunscreen Lotion
Work for It
After removing my lash extensions I had from 2020-2023, I had no idea what mascara would give me the volume and length I wanted. I have gone through mascaras like Starbucks lattes since then, and only a few have stood out. This mascara is fantastic f...
Lancôme Définicils High Definition Lengthening Mascara
Truly an OG here that fails to be overtaken. This is not only a great base for Lancome mascaras, but works well with others I have tried too. Where this really shines is not just prepping your lash, and in my case having decent length lashes but very... couple of times with using a mascara alone.
Lancôme Cils Booster XL Super-Enhancing Mascara Primer
She is not for the faint of heart, hence the name. For those big voluminous, dare I say (millenials, listen up) chic spidery lashes? Not spidery like the true turn of the millenium days, but rather a voluminous mascara that grabs every little lash no...
tarte: Big Ego Mascara
Sorcery. I truly don't know how this product was made. Its like cream and powder had a child and it was this stunning blush. I recently purchased this with a Sephora order and I am shooketh. I got it in Float, which is an absolutely stunning rosy mau...
Cloud Paint Plush Blush
Adding another link in case your preferred location is Sephora for blush, put this in your cart. Do it now. You will not regret it. A ton of buyers go for bright red, which sounds like it gives you that three-glasses-of-wine flush, but I personally w...
(Sephora Link)Cloud Paint Plush Blush - Glossier
As I had mentioned before, going into my 30's I have switched to almost no powder products as my skin is more balanced, and tends to get drier patches in the winter or from dermatitis. This is a cream blush I have used for years, and do not let the v...
Fenty Beauty: Cheeks Out Freestyle Cream Blush
This blush I bough early this year and have used a lot. Let me tell you something, this is a darling little container you will get and no not be fooled by quantity. Your children will inherit this little bottle from your old makeup. Ok but seriously ...
Freck Beauty Blush
A staple for years: have both in brown and black. I tried a number of liquid pen liners many years ago and once I found this I never changed. Truly just the best juicy liner to give you those sharpie fine-tip-like sharp lines for a perfect wing. Also...
KVD Beauty Tattoo Liner Vegan Waterproof Liquid Eyeliner
Ok high-end I know. But if this lipstick doesn't make you fall in love and make you feel like a queen every time you pull it out of your makeup drawer or purse, I don't know what will. This is a fantastic long-wear lipstick, and they come in multiple...
Rouge Dior Long-Wearing Lipstick
As I mentioned I wear very little powder, but there are days, whether a very warm summer day where I will be outside a lot, or just looking a little overly shiny with a product like the Ilia Super Serum Skin Tint (don't get me wrong I am still OBSESS...
Translucent Loose Setting Powder - Laura Mercier
This is such a cool product! I recently go this and have been using it for several weeks and am loving it as a contour stick. While some women have their staple makeup product that they “connot leave the house without”, like lipstick or brows, I am l...
HAUS LABS BY LADY GAGA Precision Sculpt Shaping Balm Contour Stick
This was my first and only intro to cream eyeshadow, but why change? A cream-eyeshadow winner year after year based on exceptional reviews, this smooth-as-butter cream shadow glides over your lid for a bold or subtle shine with a unique shade variety...
Laura Mercier Caviar Stick Cream Eyeshadow
Bronzer is something I have struggled with. Let's be real, “pigmented” has became an adage in beauty associated with a positive thing, but imo there is such thing as too pigmented and challenges with blendability that leaves you looking muddy. This i...
Softsculpt® Multi-Use Bronzing & Shaping Serum with Hyaluronic Acid
I got in when Tower 28 was a little endcap in Sephora a couple years back, and I was unsure of how I felt about this concealer at the time. Since then, I have come to absolutely love this and its my everyday concealer. I have explored others, but as ...
Tower 28: Hydrating Serum Concealer
I struggled with wearing flashes for years, then went to lash extensions in 2020 and had those removed in 2023. Since then I figured out how to wear lashes, but thick bands and high volume lashes are not for me. These are the ultimate natural enhanci...
Naked False Lashes #420 Multipack - Ardell
I started using these this year after using the 420s for a long time. My fear is that wild, over-the top lash look, which if that's your thing, go off, but I personally don't like it on me. These are the lashes I will using for my wedding next year a...
Naked False Lashes #421 Multipack - Ardell
The Kiss lash glue is great, and especially in a pinch because every Walgreens or CVS has it, but this stuff is pretty awesome and is what I personally use at home after a lot of experience with the Kiss lash glue. You truly will need some makeup rem...
