Makeup
Love how the color Big Lift is the perfect natural pink for me, and this liner actually lasts.
MAYBELLINE Lifter Liner Lip Pencil, Player
Love this foundation. I have acne prone skin even in my 40s. This doesn’t cause me breakouts or settle in fine lines.
Light To Medium Neutral Complexion Crush Foundation
This has been my go to full coverage foundation. It doesn’t look cakey. There is a pretty decent shade range. I bought both my summer and winter shades in this because I like it so much.
bareMinerals - Foundation - 6 Products
This Half Magic eyeshadow single in Wet Pebble is one of my favorite one swipe eye looks right now. The formula is super smooth, and it lasts munch longer than other shadows for me.
HALF MAGIC - 31 Products
Love this formula too. Not quite smooth as the half magic but still nicer than many others I have tried. I like that the have a good number of neutrals with some other more fun colors too.
KIKO Milano Eyeshadow - 2 Products
Love how pigmented this blush is. I first loved the shade Riri which I think is discontinued, but there are some other great cool toned shades I want to try.
Fenty Cheeks Suede Powder Blush
Hair
I have tried a lot of dry shampoos. I love how this one smells, and I love that I can use it in my dark hair. It blends in well, and it is one of the only dry shampoos I have tried that doesn’t feel like it adds a lot of build up on my hair.
Vegan & Cruelty Free Dry Shampoo
My favorite heat protector. I love the smell, and it actually does seem to help with how long it takes my hair to dry. I’ve used the pureology version of this too. This seems just as good. I’ve rebought it twice now.
EverPure Sulfate Free 21-in-1 Color Caring Leave In Spray - L'Oréal
This is the pureology version of the leave in spray. I used this first and really love it. The L’Oréal version is what I use now, but only because it is cheaper.
Color Fanatic Multi-Tasking Leave-In Spray
I have used a version of the Conair 1875 to rough dry my hair for years. It has always worked more quickly than other dryers I have tried in spite of being so cheap!
Walmart Supercenter
Other beauty favs
I bought a bunch of morphe brushes on sale from Ulta, and now, I find myself reaching for these over others consistently. Love the eyeshadow blending brushes in particular.
Morphe - Tools & Brushes - 57 Products
This Elta MD UV Clear sunscreen has been one of my favorites that doesn’t break me out or pull under makeup. I use the untinted version of this.
EltaMD | FSA Eligible Sunscreen
This is one of my absolute favorite serums. When I consistently use this, it keeps breakouts at bay.
The Ordinary Niacinamide 10% + Zinc 1%
These pads are expensive, but I love how they help exfoliate my skin.
Dr. Dennis Gross Skincare Alpha Beta® Universal Daily Peel Pads
I still get cystic acne at times. These deep blemish micro dart patches have been absolutely amazing at clearing them up quickly!
Deep Blemish Microdarts - Acne/Pimple Patches - Peach Slices
These were the first patches I tried from peach slices, and I love how with consistent use they helped reduce some sun spot damage.
