These are specific products that I personally use and love and think you will too!
I LOVE the first pallet (gold and brown) because it is SO pigmented and lasts ALL day and it doesn't run out for at least 6 months- and thats wearing it 2-3 times a week. I also love the mix of matte and shimmer, and its a great color duo for people ...
Shades By Shan Cosmetics
This was my first lip plumper ever, and I really like it! I would love it in more colors, but the plumbing effect is worth it. It does take getting used to though!
Plump & Pout Lip Plumping Booster Gloss - BEAUTY CREATIONS
Even though I have seen more shade than praise with this full coverage foundation, its been doing its job for me for over a decade! I love full coverage and as long as you have powder to put on afterwards, I personally think its fabulous!
Dream Matte® Mousse Foundation Makeup - Maybelline
This is at the top of my list for my eyebrows that happen to be sparse, light, and thinner than when I was in my 20s, due to plucking, stringing, and wax. DONT DO THOSE THINGS, JUST SHAVE! Not EVERYONE'S eyebrows stop growing. Unfortunately mine did ...
Eyebrow Makeup: Brow Gel & Eyebrow Pencils - IT Cosmetics
Just the thing when I want that minimal, natural look. It's a light coverage , but still gives that luminous touch, which makes it look like you are totally glowing! (Because you are!)
2-in-1 Luminous Tint Foundation - Girlactik
This is my go-to powder, it's extra affordable for girlie on a budget and it is full coverage. Not to mention it lasts for at least a month, if not longer. I will likely always use this!
Clean Invisible Loose Powder | COVERGIRL®
If I only leave the house wearing one type of makeup, its eyeliner! I look half asleep without it. This stuff is great because it glides on smoothly, is water proof, and stays on all day!
There are so many options to pick from but I still use Maybelline's mascara on the days I wear any mascara at all, which is occasionally. It's very affordable, lasts for hours (as long as you dont rub your eyes-which I do unfortunately) and makes you...
Lengthening & Curling Mascaras | Maybelline UK
I love this highlighter and put it on after I have my foundation and powder on with my blush and bronzer! You can put it on the cheekbones, under your eyes and even a bit on your nose.
Maybelline NY Facestudio Master Chrome
This blush lasts a really long time and is super pigmented, so less is more! Its a bit more pricey than drugstore brands but worth it!
Do It All Serum Color Balm Sun Cream Blush & Bronzer - IT Cosmetics
A more affordable blush and liquids are always more pigmented in my experience, so definitely be cautious when applying!
Camo Liquid Blush - e.l.f. Cosmetics
There are so many different types of makeup brushes for every type of makeup, and unless you do professional makeup or SPX then the basics are the only ones truly necessary but it's fun to try new things and e.l.f. is always super affordable and prob...
Makeup Brush Sets - e.l.f. Cosmetics
One of my favorite primers I have ever used, it feels so good on your skin and helps your makeup stay on and not smudge!
Power Grip Primer + 4% Niacinamide | e.l.f. Cosmetics
This stuff is an amazing primer! It has a distint consistency to it, and it makes your face feel silky and smooth before doing anything else after! Not sure where I got mine tbh, but it's amazing. I rotate this and my Elf primer.
L'Oreal Paris Magic Perfecting Face Primer 0.5oz
I only own the pallete in the first photo with the green case but the mix of blues, blue-greens, beige, golds and almost blacks while also being a mix of shimmer, glitter, and matte is so versatile but I would only bust out this pallete when I want t...
Hip Dot - eBay
This eye and cheek pallete is a great one for every day wear and for us brown or hazel eyed girls. It comes with 9 shades of earthy tones, a bronzer and a blush. I found this off Ipsy's website and I got it for a super good deal and while its not the...
Sidekick One Squalane Palette - Toyfactory
This eye and cheek pallete is one of my faves and not only are the colors a rich creamy texture (that I've found better using my fingers to put on rather than any brush), it also comes with a shade of blush that I think is so cute. This can be used f...
This pressed powder by IT! Cosmetics is such a great product to have. I have a darker shade than my skin tone so I use it for contouring. It has full coverage and lasts all day. I love this entire brand, not just this product!!
Celebration Foundation Illumination - Powder ... - IT Cosmetics
This 12-shade layout has a super versatile mixture of 6 buttery mattes and six shimmery shades ranging from warm neutrals and sandy golds to deep coastal blues and greens. I LOVE the colors in this palette and yes, they're all very pigmented!
Beachside Babe Eyeshadow Palette | ICONIC London UK
This compact palette (dont let the size fool you though, the colors are so pigmented it'll last you a LONG time!) has 9 ultra-creamy, highly pigmented shades that definitely gives beach vacay vibes! You get gorgeous everyday matte neutrals alongside ...
You & Me in Miami Eyeshadow - Just Ximena
This blush will last you for a long time because of its highly pigmented shades, is compressed and goes on beautifully using a brush or even a powder puff that comes with pressed powders/foundations if you're in a pinch! (I've been in this same pinch...
Bye Bye Pores Blush™ Infused Anti-Aging Formula - IT Cosmetics
One of my favorite highlighters that I need to restock on soon, I love the shade (I have the one in the first photo) Highly pigmented and lasts all day. I really like this brand with all of their products I've tried!
Highlighter Pressed PaIette - Just Ximena
I dont wear lipstick too often, but I have this one and I love the color because its not TOO bold, I love the matte look (with certain styles) and it stays on a LONG time!
Looking for a replacement: Treslúce's Empower Me matte lipstick
Love this lipliner! I love the look lip liner gives period, but you can't go wrong with Urban Decay!
If you want to explore different products and brands but keep it affordable, the glam bag is definitely for you! 5 sample size products a month and add ons stating at $3.50!
IPSY Original | 5 Deluxe Beauty Samples for $15/Month + Shipping
While I couldn't find the exact palette I have, the first photo is almost identical in shades. This is the brand itself, not the specific eyeshadow, but the pallete I have has 3 creamy shades ranging from light (almost but not quite white) beige t...

Makeup Tools to Make Your Routine Easier
They make these in all different shapes and sizes but they really do help get your brushes clean when they need it!
Silicone Makeup Brush Cleaner - J.Cat Beauty
While this is a fancier one, everyone needs a holder for easy access to their makeup brushes! There are so many different kinds but I really like this one and how it has a lid for on the go.
Makeup Brush Holder Cup - Sigma Beauty
There are many different kinds but I like the solo lights because its way cheaper than buying a vanity! The light up mirrors are also affordable as well. Makes applying it much easier and looks much better!
