This sunscreen feels more like a primer than an actual sunscreen, and that’s AMAZING! It doesn’t leave any white cast and glides on effortlessly, blending into the skin with ease.

This is hands down my FAVORITE setting spray! I can even work up a sweat, and my makeup stays perfectly intact!

LOVE this lipstick! It stays on for a super long time, even when I add a layer of Aquaphor on top for moisture. This shade is a beautiful red/purple!
NARS Powermatte Lip Pigment
WHY don't I see this product advertised more often? This is THE BEST lip stain I've ever tried! It comes in a range of shades, all of which are buildable for customizable coverage and intensity.
Clarins Water Lip Stain
It's rare that I like a lip balm other than Aquaphor, but this lip balm is AMAZING. It makes my lips SO so smooth, nearly smoothing out every wrinkle! Worth the splurge to keep this balm in your purse.
