items Makeup + Skincare I Actually Use (Not Just Hype)
If it’s on this list, it survived my face. Period.
I’ve tried the overpriced. The viral. The “you NEED this” products. These are the ones that didn’t break me out, cake up, slide off, or disappoint b...

Make up
Okay so I’ve tried a LOT of foundations.
Full coverage. Matte. “Skin-like.”
Supposedly flawless. Most of them either make me look cakey by noon…
or oily by 3pm… or like I’m wearing someone else’s face.
But this one?
The first day I wore Charlott...

Listen…
e.l.f. Halo Glow Liquid Filter is not a foundation. And it’s not just a highlighter either.
It’s that glowy, blurred, soft-focus skin in a bottle.
I use it under foundation for that lit-from-within look…
or on no-makeup days by itself and ...
e.l.f. Halo glow
Why did no one tell me this primer is basically glue… I wasn’t ready for how hard my makeup refused to move 👀
This thing is TACKY. Like actually sticky.
You pat it in, wait a few seconds… and your foundation grips for dear life.
My makeup lasted ...
Power Grip Primer
It’s that sheer, juicy, your-lips-but-better energy.
The texture?
Thick but cushiony.
Glossy but not sticky.

And the tint?
Soft. ...
Peptide lip boost
I’ve tried the luxury mascaras.
The viral ones.
The “clean girl” ones.
But Maybelline Mascara?? She stays in rotation.
It lifts.
It separates.
It actually adds length without turning my lashes into 3 crunchy spikes.
And the volume builds without c...

I thought this was just overpriced moisturiser… 😭✨
Until my makeup stopped looking crusty by noon 👀👇
I’m not even dramatic but Charlotte Tilbury Magic Cream lowkey changed how my base sits.
The first time I used it, I was like… okay cute, it’s ...
Charlotte's Magic Cream
I didn’t think a shampoo could make my hair feel expensive… but here we are.
I tried Give Me Cosmetics Shampoo expecting it to just… clean my hair.
Cool. Basic. Move on.
But the slip??
The softness before I even conditioned??
My hair didn’t feel s...
Give Me Cosmetics
As an acne sufferer for over 12 years I am reluctant to try new skin care for fear of breakout. I’ve had every antibiotic you can imagine alongside topical creams. I went to see my GP who recommended this product- although reluctant I gave it a go an...
The ordinary serum
I grabbed eos Body Lotion thinking it was just cute packaging.
But the texture??
Thick enough to feel moisturizing.
Light enough to not sit there greasy.
It melts in fast.
No sticky layer.
No waiting around before putting clothes on.
And the softn...
