Because sometimes I want a vacation glow… without the vacation. These drops flatter every complexion! I love to mix them with my moisturizer.

This brow volumizing gel is my lazy-girl hack—just swipe it on like mascara for fuller brows that last all day (yes, even through workouts and hot flashes!).
Gimme Brow+ Volumizing Eyebrow Gel Benefit Cosmetics
My go-to bronzer! Paired with the Blush + Bronzer Brush, it blends like a dream for a natural, dewy glow. Bella is the perfect shade for all complexions.

This lash primer gives me volume and length. Plus it conditions my lashes. My lashes look healthier and thicker.
Lancôme Cils Booster XL Lash & Mascara Primer
This is the best lip stain! I usually use it as a liner, but it’s gorgeous all over with a little gloss on top. It actually lasts through meals and never transfers to my straw or coffee cup.
COVERGIRL Outlast Lipstain
This primer is my secret weapon. My eyeshadow actually lasts all day without creasing or sliding off.
Pro Longwear Paint Pot – Cream Eye Shadow Primer
I’m obsessed with how easy this is to use. The fine tip gives me those little hair-like strokes, and it lasts all day without budging.

I love this setting spray because it’s waterproof, lightweight, and seriously keeps my makeup in place all day.
Airbrush Flawless Setting Spray - Charlotte Tilbury | Ulta Beauty
This lip stain is my secret weapon. No reapplying! Just apply, peel, and you’ve got color that lasts. A little gloss on top makes it even prettier. So many colors to choose from.
Sacheu Lip Liner STAY-N Peel Off Lip Stain
Why hasn’t this existed forever? This under-eye corrector is a total miracle. It brightens, smooths, and actually works on mature skin without creasing. Dark circles? Gone. This is the only one I’ll use.

This is my go to for tired and dark under eyes. It's very lightweight so no creasing or added texture I even use it on no-makeup days.
Wide Awake Edit
This is the creamiest bronzer I have ever used. It glides on like a dream.
No Limits Cream Bronzer and Contour Stick LYS Beauty
One of the best setting powders I’ve ever bought! Silky smooth, finely milled, and makes your face look airbrushed—almost photoshopped. I use the Cherry Blossom shade to blur out any purple or blue under my eyes. Huda products never disappoint!
Easy Bake Loose Powder | HUDA BEAUTY |
I love this eyeshadow collection! The shades are creamy, blend beautifully, and give the perfect shimmer for fall looks. Limited edition + comes with a pretty palette and brush cleaning tile—such a fun set.
Home Sweet Home Collection
Chai Lip Oil is one of my faves! It nourishes and hydrates with jojoba + shea butter, gives a sheer pink tint with radiant shine, and smells like warm chai. Perfect alone or layered over your favorite lipstick. I also love that it's not sticky.
Chai Lip Oil
Lash Leather is my go-to mascara! Medium coverage, tubing formula that defines + enhances every lash with its tapered brush. No smudging, no flaking, no transferring under the eyes.
Lash Leather
Plush Prep Mist is a multitasker I love! It primes, sets, and refreshes while hydrating with caffeine, hyaluronic acid, and botanicals. I spray this on before makeup application and sometimes again at the end of the day for a refresh.
Plush Prep Mist
Zero dry time! I just spray, wipe, and my brushes are ready to use right away. This cleanser not only sanitizes but also conditions the bristles so they stay soft and like new.
Brush Cleanser
These are the perfect powder puffs!
Powder Puff Soft Triangle Makeup Sponge
Everyone raves about this product. It's a dupe for Charlotte Tilbury which is $50. So this is definitely worth a try at $15. I am actually impressed. Not a full coverage but very pretty and glowy.
Halo Glow Liquid Filter - e.l.f. Cosmetics
These lip stains are my favorite! Great for lip liner or all over color.
