items I have been into makeup and beauty for the last decade+, been through many trends, and tried a lot of products. The worst feeling is spending a lot of money on a product that was over-hyped. The makeup market currently is also very oversaturated - th...

Makeup💄💅
Current favorites and ol' reliable(s). Good mix of pricey if you want to treat yourself and affordable if you're a broke b like me.
I have thin lips. I usually hate wearing glosses because I feel like it accentuates how small my lips are. I lived for the matte makeup of the mid 2010s. However, when I first tried this product a few years ago, it changed my opinion and was my stepp...
maracuja juicy lip balm gloss
I love lip oils. I hate having to unscrew the cap and apply them with a doe-foot applicator, taking up both of my hands. This product is in a squeeze tube, so it completely eliminates the need for two hands and is easily applied with one. It's super ...
Glow Reviver Melting Lip Balm
I have tried quite a few drug store brow gels, but this one is simply the best. Other affordable brow gels I have found will clump up or lay poorly under other eyebrow/face products like pencils and powders. What I recommend is doing your foundation ...
Eyebrow Glue Instant Brow Styler
This is a TRUE skin TINT. It has just enough coverage to TINT the skin, to even out the color on your face, without getting cakey or looking like you are wearing makeup - perfect for those days you want to give "no makeup" makeup. You can also build ...
Buttermelt Glaze Soft Glow Skin Tint SPF 30
This concealer is so good, sometimes I just use it as foundation. There is a foundation in this line, but the concealer is so much better in my opinion. It is super full coverage, yet a very thin consistency. This thin consistency allows it to blend ...
Bare With Me Concealer Serum
I chose this primer after trying and comparing it to 4 other high-end primers in Ulta. I have HUGE open pores on my nose and cheeks - right in the center of my face! In store, I was able to try a sample of this product on one side of my face and 4 ot...
The POREfessional Face Primer
This is one of my favorite foundations, though at its price-point I mainly save it for special occasions. It does not feel like you are wearing a foundation and is very breathable. It looks so natural yet is medium coverage and very easily buildable....
Studio Fix Fluid SPF 15 Foundation | 67 Soft Matte Shades
I feel like we still have a long way to go in eyebrow pen technology, but this one is one of the best we have currently. Brow pens have a bit of a learning curve to them because they are so pigmented and intense, it can quickly look like you drew you...
Lift & Snatch! Brow Tint Pen
This lip oil feels great on the lips. I know when brands collab with cartoons or popular figures, it can seem gimmicky. However, in this instance, and with most The Creme Shop products, they keep up the great quality of their usual makeup with their ...
The Crème Shop x Hello Kitty Kawaii Lip Oil
This contour product is one of the few that I can actually make work for my pale tone skin. I have always struggled with contour and bronzer since it became a makeup routine staple in the mid-2010s because it always looked muddy and/or orange on me.....
Halo Glow Contour Beauty Wand
I love the formulas of these eyeshadows and how easily they blend (especially compared to other more recent ABH eyeshadow palettes). Very minimal fallout if any. There is a good mix of mattes and sparkles. This is a great palette to throw an eye look...
Sugar Mini Eyeshadow Palette
Fix+ | Makeup Setting Spray
This product is perfect for everyday brows. They have so many different shades and it looks so natural on the brow.
Gimme Brow+ Volumizing Pencil volumizing fiber eyebrow pencil
Hair 💁♀️🪮
This mask is great for repairing and protecting my fine, bleach-damaged hair without weighing it down. I have been bleaching and coloring my hair at home for over 10 years. This is one of several Olaplex products that I have used throughout my hair j...
Weightless Nourishing Mask: Volumizing, Hydrating Hair ...
This oil has been great for helping my hair grow. I started using it about six months ago and can tell a huge difference in how quickly my hair is growing compared to without it, and how healthy its growing in. I prefer to apply it like a treatment o...
Rosemary Mint Scalp & Hair Strengthening Oil
OLAPLEX Nº.7 Bonding Oil
My natural hair is quite oily. I used to wash my hair daily because if I didn't, it looked greasy and felt awful. I have changed up a couple of things in my hair care routine since I have had to do daily washes, including the use of dry shampoo. I re...

Skincare 🧴🛀
This face wash has been great for keeping my oils under control without drying me out. It is gentle enough to use daily, sometimes twice daily if I shower in the morning and before bed, but powerful enough to be effective. My face feels so clean and ...

This mask is for the girlies with dry skin. I personally am quite oily, but have had to learn how to deal with dry skin as well because my partner is the exact opposite of me. When I notice his face getting flaky and dry, I have him use a gentle face...
Vital Hydra Solution™ Glow Face Mask with Hyaluronic Acid 5 Pack - Dr.Jart+
This foot creme is a GOD SEND. The only place on my entire body that I am drier than I am oily are my FEET, especially my HEELS in the winter! I have consistently purchased this foot creme 4 years in a row. Usually one bottle lasts me through the win...
