This is one of my favorite eyeshadow palletes. Although it is mainly for warm skin it works for my cool skin, especially with the shades: rice pudding, butterscotch, nana pudding, spiced caramel, and with care, chia pudding. I'd say the other colors ...
Proof is in the Pudding Eyeshadow Palette
This is a fun, cool toned eyeshadow pallette. I was directed to it my first time in Sephora, a couple months ago!
There are a couple cream pots and the rest are powder. It's a versatile and compact pallette that will fit in most belt bags and purses. It has a great mirror, too.

Matte Obsessions Eyeshadow Palette Cool
Holy moly, do I love this tinted moisturizer from DRMTLGY.
As a chronically ill person who's basically “allergic” to sun and high temps, I wanted a product that protects me from the sun and gives me some oomph for family gatherings. This applies very easily with a beauty blender and looks fantastic. It's a g...

Universal Tinted Moisturizer SPF 46
Beautiful, bold colors for cool toned skin types. Compact pallete with mirror.
I like to MAUVE it! eyeshadow palette
Holy Cow this is one of the best mascaras I've ever tried. My lashes are thinning and short, and light colored.
Lash Princess helps my barely there eyelashes pop!
It does run a bit on me, but most of them do!
I like that it's easy to remove and feels gentle.

There are a few aveda products I absolutely adore. The Botanical Hair line and their lipsticks. Both smell wonderful. The botanical hair repair has helped calm my wavy, graying, sometimes frizzy, and thinning hair. The lipstick has quite a long wear ...

Winky Lux lip products are so FUN! I've ordered the “pill” sized sample set and it's magical experimenting with the different colors.
Last year, I bought the purple/violet Ph balanced lip balm with flower. It glides on and is SUPER moisturizing. The color is subtle but noticeable. It's one of my go-to lip products.

A friend introduced me to Glossier years ago. I enjoy the beautiful shades of Crush and Jam for lips and rose balm dotcom for intense lip moisturizing and spot treating other very dry skin areas. It all smells good, too.

Andalou is a fave brand of mine. I used it a ton when working outside at the botanic garden. It provides good sun protecction and adds a dewy skin look to wear on its own or as a base to makeup
Brightening Vitamin C BB Beauty Balm Sheer Tint SPF 30
LOVE! Eyeliner has become way more challenging to apply in my 40s. I appreciate the double sided applicators with a pen and creamy pencil version.
Great for cat eyes, tight lines, and subtle looks when placed under eyeshadow.

Tarte makes quality makeup that lasts. It's easy to apply and highly pigmented. I use a tiny bit of my frosted blush above my cheek bone (trick for middle aged and up) to “lift” my face a bit
Blush Makeup, Face Palettes, & Liquid Blush
Great for kids, tweens, teens, and adults on a budget. This one will glide over lipstick and add sparkle!

A good econmy cream lipstick from Revlon! I enjoy Pink in the Afternoon when going for a subtle and natural makeup look
Revlon Super Lustrous Creamy Lipstick
Not only great as a concealor, but also for an eyeshadow primer!
Radiant Creamy Concealer
Haven't used long enough to notice a difference, but it looks good when wearing it.
Pro tip: carefully apply castor oil to eyelashes before you go to sleep to help strentgthen your lashes as well.

STRENGTH & LENGTH® Serum-Infused Mascara
This is an AWESOME eyeliner. It is a creamy brown with a smudge applicaor on one end and a built in pencil sharpener underneath it! Great to throw in your belt bag or purse. I'll be searching for a similar Sephora lip liner soon.
