Only adding my absolute favourites, items I've tried multiple times and use almost daily.
Hands down the best foundation stick I've ever used and I've been using it for the last 3 years. It goes on so smoothly, blends in so easily, feels and looks like skin, just truly my all time favourite product.
The Minimalist Foundation Stick
Creamiest, most perfect bronzer I've ever used. It really gives you that nice glowy sunkissed look, so perfect.
Effortless Bronzer Stick
My favourite glowy summer blush. It applies very pigmented but nicely fuses out giving you the most natural sun kissed look.
Watermelon Glow Niacinamide Dewy Flush
The most perfect natural highlighter, and I love the stick application.
MERIT Day Glow Highlighting Balm
At first the little hairs freaked me out a little, but it has now become my favourite brow gel. It makes your brows so much fuller and sticks them in place for the whole day without smudging or crusting.
Too Faced Brow Wig Brush On Brow Gel
It really does make your eyelash look super long, but what's more important is it doesn't smudge or stick together!
The only setting spray I REALLY trust to get the job done.
All Nighter Waterproof Makeup Setting Spray
My go to daily lipstick, it applies so smoothly and the colour Baby (natural pink) is just chefs kiss.
Merit Signature Lip
For more coverage, this skin tint is ideal and it really blends into the skin while still being lightweight.
Eaze Drop Lightweight Blurring Skin Tint
I can really see a difference when using this under eye brightener, it really makes me look more awake and covers up the dark circles nicely.
Bright Fix Eye Brightener
This under eye brightener has a nice consistency- it's so light to apply and it really brightenes up my eyes. It's my go to for a light makeup look, and I also love the applicator, it has a cooling effect that feels really nice.
Positive Light Under Eye Brightener
I love the shade freckle, it goes on so smoothly and blends so well giving you a nice tanned look, and it also can double as a bronzer depending on your complexion. I will say though, the packaging is not my favourite to open.
rhode pocket blush
Skincare
This moisturizer is SO hydrating. It absorbs so so so well, and my skin always looks so plump after.
The Dewy Skin Cream Replenishing and Plumping Moisturizer
This moisturizer really is super lightweight. It absorbs so nicely without leaving a greasy residue. My go to in the mornings.
Lightweight Daily Moisturizer
Love this moisturizer especially in the winter. It's super hydrating, but it does leave a greasy residue so I'd probably only recommend it in a dry climate or at night. Though it does look great under makeup, but if it's too hot and humid, everything...
NIVEA® Creme - Intensive Moisturizer For Body, Face & Hands
It pains me how good this moisturizer is because of the price, but it really is SO nice. Lightweight, absorbs well, and leaves you looking nice and hydrated.
Honey Halo Hydrating Ceramide Face Moisturizer
This is a really nice and soothing moisturizer, amazing for sensitive skin. Whenever I feel like my skin needs to calm down, I come back to this one.
Moisturizers For Dry Skin
I love 99% of merit products, and this is no exception. I love the foamy application, it doesn't sting my eyes, it's so gentle and most importantly it cleanses SO well, I was honestly surprised. It really gets everything off, no need to go in with mi...
Great Skin Double Cleanse
I have to say, this is honestly so refreshing. I use it on top of makeup, on bare skin, on moisturized face, it just feels great. (And on top of makeup, I feel like it really refreshes it if I already had the makeup on for a couple of hours).
Rose Water Facial Toner
SPF
The best mineral sunscreen. It's great for sensitive skin, doesn't sting my eyes, it's tinted-ish, and most importantly makeup doesn't crust off on top of it.
SOS FaceGuard SPF 30 Sunscreen PA+++
Potentially controversial, but this sunscreen always does a great job, absorbs well, and is affordable. And my makeup always looking amazing on top of it.
