Lips
This is honestly one of my all time favorite lipsticks. I have super dry lips and this baby doesn't dry them out! I'd even compare the formula to high end lipsticks like Charlotte Tilbury, Burberry, and Hourglass.
Milani Color Fetish Matte Lipstick (Petal)
A great long-lasting (for a gloss) lippie with a sheer splash of color that I love to pair with lipstick or wear on its own. As someone with super dry lips, this one keeps them hydrated and has never caused irritation.
Fruit Fetish Lip Oils - Milani Cosmetics
Adds a very sheer layer of color and had never caused irritation to my chronic dry lips.
Glow Reviver Tinted Lip Oil | e.l.f. Cosmetics
These lip liners glide on effortlessly and have a ton of pigment!
Line Loud Vegan Longwear Lip Liner - NYX Cosmetics
These feel super creamy but they do dry out my lips so make sure you use a lip primer.
Suede Matte Liquid Lipstick | NYX Professional Makeup
LOVE LOVE LOVE these lipsticks so much so that this is what I wore on my wedding day! They last all day long even through meals.
Super Stay Vinyl Ink Long-Wear Liquid Lipstick - Maybelline
Eyes
I keep coming back to this beauty! She's known as a great dupe for Too Faced Better Than S3x and as someone who has tried both, I actually greatly prefer L'Oréal which is much better for our wallets too 😉
Voluminous Lash Paradise Washable Mascara - L'Oréal Paris
The quality of colourpop eyeshadows is insane considering their price point. Their formulas are even better than some high end and they last forever!
Shadow Palettes
Complexion
I use the translucent shade as the BEST setting powder.
Fit Me® Matte + Poreless Powder Foundation - Maybelline
This is what I reach for when I want a light coverage no-makeup makeup look. Because I'm an oily gal I must use powder on my T-zone with this but otherwise I love the sheer coverage when I dont want to Glam up or I add it to my matte foundations for ...
Halo Glow Liquid Filter Complexion Booster | e.l.f. Cosmetics
Blush/Bronzer/Highlight
This girl is PIGMENTED!!! A little bit goes a long way and will therefore last you ages. She also has super staying power. Most blushes are gone in an hour but this one looks just as fabulous at the end of the night.
Powder Blush - Revlon
I love that the multi-colors give more definition to the cheeks than a flat shade. The colors did wear down differently which forced me to repress but not a deal breaker
Powder Palette® Multi-Colored Face Powder | Light Bronzer
This bronzer is so underrated. It does have a satin/glowy finish that is perfect for summer.
SkinLights Prismatic Bronzer Makeup - Revlon
Haircare
Products I have tried as someone with fine and 2B wavy hair.
Definitely comparable to the Its A 10 spray but much cheaper.
Miracle Rescue 10 in 1 Multitasking Spray + Keratin - Pantene
My favorite curl cream for 2B fine hair!
Curl Talk Defining Cream | Not Your Mother's
These make my hair so soft and frizz-free while also providing a deep clean.
Mane n' Tail
This not only provided heat protection but also helped to hold the style all day.
Fructis Sleek & Shine Flat Iron Perfector Straightening Mist
Skincare
Oily/Sensitive friendly
I love using this to take off makeup when I dont want to use water. It's also really good at getting off sparkly eyeshadow without excessive rubbing.
Garnier Micellar Cleansing Water Skin Care Products
Perfume
Not necessarily drugstore, but this is a perfect dupe that will save a ton of money!
Crystal | Inspired by Baccarat Rouge - ALT. Fragrances
