Eyes
I love this shadow stick - I actually wear it as a thick eyeliner. It's one of my go-to, everyday items. The color I wear is Super Slate!
Superhero No-Tug Waterproof Eyeshadow Stick
I've used Shadow Insurance forever. While I don't do a full eye everyday, this works wonders when I do. The little tube lasts quite a while as well.
Shadow Insurance 24-Hour Eyeshadow Primer
This is my everyday mascara and it works well to both lengthen and thicken my eyelashes.

Face
I use this face pencil under my eyes to cover up circles and on my face to cover up spots. It definitely one of the better ones I've found.

I have probably a dozen miracle balms - some big and some mini. They're great for adding a little color to your face! In the summer I love Miami Beach as a blush, in cooler months I'll user Bronze to add some color to my face.
Miracle Balm
This is my go-to foundation - I love how dewy it makes my skin!
This lip & cheek stick is great - I typically use it for my blush and just blend it in using my hands. Super easy to use and buildable. I wear the English Rose shade.
Lip and Cheek Stick
Body
I've used MegaBabe deodorant for years and this is one of my favorites. It's aluminum-free and doesn't have baking soda, which I need for my sensitive skin. Unless I'm heavily working out, my armpits stay dry and I don't stink. I also love the scent ...
The Coco Deo by Megababe
I wear the Coco Deo by day and this one by night - it performs the same (dry pits, not stinky, and both aluminum- and baking soda-free), just a different, more unisex scent.
The Santal Deo by Megababe
This is one of the best things I've found for both preventing and getting rid of ingrown hair. I typically use it on my bikini area.
