Out of curiosity, I try so many different mascara due to social media hype and just wanted ot venture away from the norm and try something new, however, ever time I regret my decision and always end up back to this mascara. It gives incredible volume and length while also holding a curl on my lashes when almost everything causes my lashes to fall. Even most waterproof mascaras make my lashes fall out of their curl, but not this one! It is truly and incredible mascara at a decent price!
Voluminous Lash Paradise™ Waterproof Mascara
The most incredible lash serum I’ve ever used. Creates long, thick, and healthy lashes that I receive compliments on all the time! I used to wear false lashes every day, but now with this product i don’t have too. I will never stop using this product
GrandeLASH - MD: Lash-Enhancing Serum
This is one of the first cream bronzers I tried (yes, I was very late to the cream trend!), but this was is incredible! The consistency is smooth, creating a seamless blend on your skin and ensuring there is no streaking upon application. The product is pigmented, so you don't need a ton, making the product last a while for you. It has a pleasant scent, but not so overpowering where it overhwhelms your senses. If you do add too much to you skin, it's very forgiving, and you can blend out the product easily! I use this product ever day and have been for the past six months pretty much, and I still have probably a years worth left of product!
Laguna Bronzing Cream
I love this brow pencil! I have been using a powder for the longest time, but I wanted a more natural look where it doesn't look so blocky. This pen has such a fine tip, it is so easy to create brow hair like strokes to ensure the look of a natural, full brow! It is a product that you don't have to use throughout your entire brow, but where there are gaps that need to be filled in, and it blends seamlessly into your brow shape. There is a good range of colors to choose from no matter your hair, and skin tone, which makes it a great product for all to use! You can also use your finger to blend on the strokes if you want an even softer look! I love this pen, and for the affordable price, you can't beat it!
NYX Lift & Snatch Eyebrow Tint Pen Auburn
This bronzer is the perfect blend of warmth and depth. It doesn't show up orange on my skin, but adds a warmth as though I have just got back from a tropical vacation! It blends into the skin seamlessly and doesn't look dry or muddy. The bronzer is just pigmented enough to ensure a nice pay off, but not so much that makes the product difficult to work with. And, noteably, one of the smallest details, but one I find important to my experience with a product, I have completely used two of these so far (with two in back stock) and they don't break or shatter easily, even when getting close to the end of th...
Sun Stalk'r Instant Warmth Bronzer
To preface, I no longer use these lashes, HOWEVER: These were the ONLY lashes I used for about 7 straight years when I wore lashes every single day, and the times I tried straying away from them, I always went back. They are the perfect length, thickness, and weight, creating a natural look while adding a little something extra. The band is thin so it blends with your natural lash line and doesn't cause irritation or annoyance when wearing them. I got so many comments whenever I wore these lashes! Some thought they were my natural lashes, and some thought they were professional extensions. I have worn them on top of my lash line and on the bottom, and both ways, depending on preference, were very comfortable! If this doesn't convince you yet, I had a dream where they became discontinued and that same week I bought 17 5 packs to make sure I wouldn't run out. I still have about 13 since I stopped wearing them and switched back to mascara…
KISS Looks So Natural False Eyelashes - Shy
In my, almost decade, of wearing flash lashes, I have dabbled in other glues just to see what is out there. High end like House of Lashes and Velour, to other comproble options like Kiss and Eyelur; nothing compares to this lash glue, SPECIFICALLY the one in the lime green tube. It gives the perfect amount of adhesive without coming off, nor feeling like you're ripping your entire eyelid off when removing your lashes at the end of the night. I have cried and taken showers before in this lash glue, and while it weakens the glue from when it's first dried down, the glue still keeps my lashes on. It's great for weddings and events where you know there are going to be tears, but you need your makeup to last all day!
DUO Lash Adhesives
I purchased this after my luggage did not make it to my destination with me, and I needed to look fresh for a store I was visiting. This was the blush I had chosen quickly, just so I could have some product to apply to my face. At this point, if I am being honest, I wasn't trying to be picky, I just needed something, and I am SO glad that this was the something blush I choose. It is absolutely incredible! It is very easy to blend, and is versatile whether you want a sheer and more natural look, or you want to go crazy with the blush. It is buildable, but also easy to blend out for a softer look. I have never found a cream product that stays on my face as long as this one without setting spray, and the price is great! I even pass this up from other high end blushes I currently own! It is just an overall great product and so easy to use! It is also very mistake friendly and easy to correct. Highly recommend this, whether you're looking for affordable makeup, or just great makeup in general!
CoverGirl Trublend Skin Enhancer Balm Blush Stick - Ulta Beauty
I am such a sucker for new Drugstore Mascara Launches, and especially when they come from L'Oreal, because this brand rarely ever misses. This mascara is such a great one, with a wand that coats every lash evenly to create volume and length. If I am being honest, I find this better as a layering mascara, for my lashes. My lashes are pretty thin, and tend to fall easily, so I use the waterproof mascara and use it over another mascara, but it just adds the perfect touch of what I am looking for! It separates the lashes, and gives you volume without the spider lash effect. The wand is easy to work with, as it is thin and flexible and hugs your lashes as it coats them. If you have thicker, better lashes, than I do, I think you would love this on your own. If you are like me, whos lashes could use a little extra help, this one is a great layer mascara! I will be honest, I haven't really tried it on it's own…

This is one of the best eyelash curlers on the market that I have found, and I have tried multiple brands, many different shapes and styles. This is the only curler that grabs all my lashes and makes sure they're evenly curled. It gives a nice smooth curl without leaving a kink in my lashes, or makes them go straight up to the point where they are poking my eyelid. It doesn't hurt my lash line while I am trying to use it, and it is incredible at getting all the way to the base of my lash! I know the price tag can be scary, especially for a lash curler, but I think it's absolutely worth it! If this is curler is still out of your budget, check out my Beauty Besties to find my favorite afforable curler!! Give it a try, for my, I wasn't sorry.
Eyelash Curler
This is, hands down, the best affordable eyelash curler on the market that I have found. It gives a great natural curl without causing kinks in your lashes, creating a lifted, seamless curl. At the affordable price point, you really can't beat it! I highly recommend for those looking for a curler on a budget!
Lash Curler
This is my go to, every day brush. Both sides do exactly what they need to, and are multifunctional to make sure I can cut down on the amount of tools I need in my day to day! The angled dense side is great at applying and blending your cream needs. The density ensures a seamless blend with no leftover streaks! It also difuses the product beautifully to ensure a natural look on your skin. The fluffy brush, is great for your powder products. It is light and soft, picking up the perfect amout of product and with a light hand, applies the products to your skin incredibly! My every day makeup is pretty simple, and with that, this is the only brush I have in my every day makeup bag.
Duo Brush Face
Skin Care
This is such a great, affordable retinol! It has a low percentage, meaning it is a great starting point for those who are just getting into the use of retinol. The price is affordable, and from a clean brand! I use this every other day now, but starts with just once per week while building up my skin's tolerance. It doesn't cause irritation to my skin, and also does not cause dryness. It works great with my other products as well. I use it at night for the best results!
Good Molecules Gentle Retinol Cream 30ml
Haircare
This is a great, natural, shampoo if you're someone who is looking for an option that is environmentally concious, sympathetic to what ingredients it is using, and demanding high quality products. The smell is warm an inviting with an incredible lather that makes you feel like every piece of your scalp and hair is getting cleaned properly. It is great for those who have colored hair, and as someone who had green for a little bit, I can attest is helped the longevity of the color to ensure I get the best results for the longest possible time before my refreshes. Pair with the conditioner, it's a great combo for clean and healthy colored hair!
color control rich shampoo
This is an incredible conditioner, giving your hair a soft and moisturized feel/look without being so heavy it leaves your hair greasy and slick. The texture is beautiful and applies to your hair easily. However much you use normally with other conditioners, you can cut the amount in having, making the product last longer and using less. When paired with the shampoo, it helps keep your color as long as possible inbetween appointments! I have used this product for a while, switching off between this duo and another one, and I have nothing but great things to say about it. I would purchase this time and time again, and the scent makes it even better!
color control conditioner
If you're looking for luxury in a hair product, look no further. I have always been skeptical about high end hair products. How could can a 50+ bottle of shampoo really be that a more affordable option can't? This shampoo, the Oribe Gold Lust Shampoo, proved me wrong. I have never had a product that leaves my hair feeling so clean, but soft than when I use this product. Whatever is added to this formula ensures a great clean, leaving your hair feeling good for days past what it normally does (at least for me), but also so soft without feeling greasy. I don't know how they do it, but I love it, and I can vouche that this specific product IS worth the price. Pair this with the conditioner, and you will have beautiful, healthy, and shiny hair!
Gold Lust Repair & Restore Shampoo
I couldn't add the Gold Lust Shampoo without adding the conditioner. The combination of these two products leaves your hair soft, healthy, shiny, and feeling clean without feeling stripped. The conditioner is the perfect texture without feeling to thick and heavy, but not so runny that you feel frustrated because it didn't do anything for your hair. The smell is intoxicating and lasts for days in your hair, even after being rinsed out. I can use this conditioner without any other after shower products, and my hair would still be conditioned and nice. (I do use other products, but have gone with only this before and my hair feels great!) I can't recommend this product enough! If someone is looking to splurge on some new hair care, this is a strong condender, and one I can speak too!
