Blush

I love blush! These are my favorite blushes right now.

Creamy and buildable blush! Some people do not find this blush to be long lasting. As a person with oily skin, I find that it lasts through my 9-6 work day and then starts to fade. So you can decide if that is a long or short amount of time.

I love this mascara because of the clean ingredients. Other mascaras have started burning my eyes but not this one.
Lash Blast Cleantopia Mascara

I like that this does not burn the eyes. It also gets a lot of makeup off the eyes. It works well.
Eye Makeup Remover - 5.5fl oz - Up&Pp
 
Melanie Davis profile picture
These are my favorite cotton squares. I use them with the eye make up remover. These cotton squares are thick enough that they don't tear when I use them on my eyes, but they are soft too.

I got the Spite color for free a LONG time ago in an ipsy bag. I thought I wasn't able to find this exact MAC one because it looked different than the sample, but this is it and it's the best mauve/brown high gloss.

Melanie Davis profile picture
I have been in need of something thick for the lips and omg this delivers! I love the sweet scent! And the color in shade uplifting is beautiful. I wore it overnight, and I woke up with soft lips.

This is a game-changer. I don't like nasal sprays, so this gel is nice. When I got sick and then again in the winter, this gel helps a lot with the dryness of my nose from blowing it so much. It started scabbing, so the gel helped to soften my inner ...
