𑣲 my favorite blush of ALL TIME!! i personally use the shade "sweet berries" for a purple-hue and i've finished two bottles of it. very pigmented, and works for all undertones. definitely a staple.
Earth-Toned, Natural Cheek Liquid Blush
𑣲 this is a drug-store goodie!! i use the shade 375, and this foundation has literally never let me down. i've used it for the past 5 years and the formula is still top notch.
Fit Me® Matte + Poreless Foundation Makeup - Maybelline
𑣲 this bronzer actually BRONZES! i find that a lot of deeper shades in a lot of typical bronzers that are popular are either too ashy, or too red on my skin tone. these bronzers work for just about any undertone, and they're very pigmented so they'r...
Facial Bronzer Collection - Juvia's Place
𑣲 the best primer i have used to date! keeps my makeup in place for the whole day and it's very lightweight.

𑣲 these are some products that have helped my skin look glowy and smooth!
𑣲 this sponge will get in between every crease and crevice you didn't know existed, lol. once i started using this, i never went back. my skin requires being exfoliated by this routinely because there's simply nothing like it.
African Net Sponge webshop - Ultimate exfoliation - AfricanFabs
𑣲 this stuff is the real deal! no strong scents, skin irritation, just pure minerals and moisture-containing elements that keep the skin smooth and clear. i also like to use this bar of soap infused with castor oil or lavender oil.
Savoir Noir Fait Maison 100% Pure - AFRICAN BLACK SOAP -
𑣲 my favorite lotion OAT!! i used this throughout my senior year of high school, and am still using it as an incoming sophomore in college. keeps the skin supple and moisturized, and the smell is to die for.

𑣲 this stuff is break-up proof, lol. no bu seriously, this eyeliner does NOT MOVE unless you put micellar water or makeup wipes to it. love her!
H2O (Waterproof) Black Eyeliner Pen | e.l.f. Cosmetics
𑣲 this lipstick is nostalgic for me, as i used it all throughout high school. but it always stayed and i always got compliments on it because the colors are so vibrant. i loved the pink (peony) and darkest brown.
matte lipstick - Milani Cosmetics
𑣲 so fun fact, i actually used these eyeshadows as highlighters. and they WORKED! MAC has incredible pigmentation when it comes to all their products, and i love a shimmer finish on my cheeks and inner corners for that brightened look. 10s!
