My Ride-or-Die Basics 💄
Pretty Little Extras 💋
My Ride-or-Die Basics 💄
My go-to affordable makeup must-haves — the ones I actually use every single day. Simple, glowy, and always reliable!
One of my absolute favorites — no smudging, no flakes, and it keeps my under-eyes perfectly clean all day. Super easy to remove too!
Catrice Glam & Doll Mascara (Black) 🖤
The best affordable mattifying powder out there, hands down. Keeps shine away without looking cakey — a total staple!
Essence Mattifying Compact Powder 🌬️
My holy grail lip balm! I always have one with me — hydrating, soothing, and completely worth it. I can’t live without it!
Burt’s Bees Lip Balm 🐝
Such a good, cheap brow pencil! Easy to blend with the little brush on the cap, and it lasts forever. A small product that makes a big difference.
Essence Eyebrow Pencil 🪄
Yes, I use this hair gel for my eyebrows! It’s super cheap, holds like a dream, and gives that clean, lifted look. Just apply with a spoolie brush — game changer!
Balea Hair Gel (for Brows!) 🧷
The plumpiest, glossiest lips ever! “Moon” and “Ice” are my go-tos — shiny but never sticky. Makes every makeup look feel finished.
Maybelline Lifter Gloss 🧊
1
The prettiest soft nude palette — sparkly, blendable shades that go with any outfit. Perfect for beginners (like me!) and super affordable.
Wet n Wild Always Blushin’ Palette 🌸
A cute, pigmented blush that goes on smooth and lasts all day. Affordable, buildable, and perfect for that natural flushed look.
Wet n Wild Blush 💕
Completely obsessed with this! The tones are pigmented and warm — gives that sun-kissed, glowy skin without breaking the bank.
Essence Sun Club Matt Bronzing Palette ☀️
Perfect for softer, natural looks! Great on its own for subtle lashes or on bottom lashes for a more balanced, glam look.
Catrice Glam & Doll Waterproof Mascara (Brown) 🤎
Full coverage but not cakey! Hides everything while feeling super light. I use this on my under eyes and it never creases. 💫
Catrice Liquid Camouflage Concealer 🫶
Lightweight tint with a natural finish, perfect for “no-makeup” makeup days. Easy to apply and gives a radiant look without heaviness.
Essence SKIN Tint ☁️
This highlighter blew me away — silky smooth, seriously pigmented, and gives that “lit from within” glow without the expensive price tag. A total must-have for that cheek-bone sparkle.
Wet n Wild MegaGlo Highlighting Powder ☀️
Pretty Little Extras 💋
Affordable extras that make your look feel special — a little shimmer here, a glossy moment there, and you’re glowing.
The smoothest base ever! It blurs pores like magic and keeps my makeup in place all day. Super affordable and feels high-end! 🫧
Poreless Putty Primer
Such a precise pencil! I use it for natural, defined brows — blends easily with the little spoolie on the end. Tiny but mighty! 🖊️
NYX Micro Brow Pencil 🪞
A classic for a reason! The glow is unreal — soft, peachy, and makes you look like you’ve just come back from a summer trip. ☀️
Milani Baked Blush (Luminoso) 🌺
Smooth, shiny, and smells so good! It’s not sticky at all — my go-to everyday gloss for soft and juicy lips. 💋
NYX Butter Lip Gloss 🍬
