Skincare
Skincare is the biggest investment to make for those of us who suffer from allergies, sensitivites, and clogged pores. These are products I use regularly in my skincare routine.
Raved and raved about this lip balm to everyone I know. When I told you guys about it so many bought it! This lip balm is the BEST lip balm ever. When I had a horrid fungal acne rash all over my face, it also affected my lips. This healed the perimet...
ILIA Lip Wrap Reviving Balm
The only hypochlorus acid spray for me. The other brands I've tried always had a bleach-like smell to it. It made the experience so unpleasant. Tower 28's spray has no funky smell and soothes my irritated skin. What I did is bought the mini, now I pl...
Tower 28 SOS Daily Rescue Facial Spray
I've been using IOPE for years and they have never failed me! The more I try various skincare brands, the more I realize that IOPE is a shining jewel in the industry. This toner/softener is my favorite from the entire Stem III line. It absorbs very q...
IOPE XMD Stem III Clinical Recovery Essence Toner
IOPE is a research-backed and clinical grade skincare. So many in Korea know and love the brand. I noticed that here in the States, not many people know about IOPE. They still remain one of the leading skincare brands for anti-aging in Korea. I've gi...
IOPE XMD Stem III Clinical Recovery Serum PDRN Skincare
I've completely used my Stem III cream! This one is the most approached because of how nourishing it is without clogging my pores. It soothes without any issues, feels light, never greasy, and on the days I only want to wear 1 thing I use the cream.
IOPE XMD Stem III Clinical Recovery Cream
Biossance is another research-based brand and I love their Copper Peptide Plumping serum. When I feel excessively dry and pruny, I'll spray some Avene thermal water spray and then apply this serum. The plumping effects are REAL and the skin drinks al...
Biossance Squalane + Copper Peptide Rapid Plumping Serum
If you're in need for some serious, deep, rich hydration you'll love the Omega Repair Cream. It's almost fully panned by my boyfriend. I also use it occasionally when I need rich moisture - usually in winter. I feel people with dry skin will benefit ...
Biossance Squalane + Omega Repair Deep Hydration Moisturizer
Base Makeup
For the oily gals who want easy, but polished
Best foundation for oily, hyperpigmentation, and just overall rough textured skin. Makes doing my base a breeze and I don't dread sitting in front of my mirror trying to cover every bump. I am sad that it is listed as sold out :( maybe it'll come bac...
YSL All Hours Longwear Natural Matte Foundation
Takes all of the greasy look away while still preserving the luminosity of skin. It's not uncomfortably matte and not drying, either. I tend to reach for pressed powders, but this one I am almost finished with.
MAKEUP BY MARIO Soft Blur Setting Powder 02 Neutral Light
Blush
What's an olive girl to do without blush?
If I had to get rid of all my blushes (as a blush fanatic!) but one, this is the one that will survive.
YSL Make Me Blush Restless Rose
The most universally flattering blush!
YSL Make Me Blush Nude Lavalliere
Daily blush and almost always the base blush before putting on more pigment on my cheeks
Benefit Dandelion Baby-Pink Blush
The blush and highlight hybrid that I dmed a wedding makeup artist for!
Charlotte Tilbury Beauty Highlighter Wand Pinkgasm
Eyeshadow
Verstile, easy, and lightweight
Pictures are a little misleading - Groundwork is a true taupe. It's not too cool and not too warm. A very grayish, taupe on the eyes. It's my no-brainer eyeshadow for when Im feeling lazy and need to do my makeup quickly.
MAC Pro Longwear Paint Pot Groundwork
For both packed/intense or scattered sparkle. This is the best for date night and holidays and workable over any type of eyeshadow. Work fast though, it fixes onto your lids and does not budge.
Armani Eye Tint Sparkle
Lips
Perfect everyday lipsticks and lip liners
The most comfortable and most used lipstick I own. I got it this year and with the amount of lip products I own - surprisingly down to half!
Thanks, it's MAC! Lustreglass Lipstick - MAC
Shade 111, super soft and velvet feel. The color is so flattering. Only issue: Sephora doesn't have it! Unsure if they take it off the website during the sale or if they really only carry 1 shade of this lipstick. Linked the Armani beauty store for y...
Armani Beauty Lip Power Matte Shade 111
A lipstick case that feels like luxury
Dior Addict Lipstick Case - Dior | Sephora
The perfect color to put on the inside for a gradient lip or drama
Dior Addict Refillable Shine Lipstick - 667 Diormania
Super comfy, soft, and blends out perfectly. It's a semi-matte texture that grips onto the lip line. Great value for the price with great performance. This shade in particular is a very “high-end” shade! It's very flattering and neutralizes my blueis...
Tower 28 OneLiner® Fill Me In
Most flattering true lip shade for me. If you have a lot of bluish, plum hues to your lips this would look so cute on you with a clear gloss. I also use it in the center of my lips when I'm wearing a nude matte lip.
Mac Lip Pencil Soar
A warm lip liner to neutralize my blue and plum undertones on the outer perimeter of my lips. Works perfect with nude and beige lipsticks.
MAC Lip Pencil Boldly Bare
