There are so many shades of this blush and one of the most pigmented blushes i've ever used. It is only $20 and is so easily blendable with the prettiest dewy finish. My favorite blush is the shade Encourage.

Such a pigmented, gel-like formula that keeps your lips hydrated. Only $20 and has so many shade options. The shade Hope is my favorite because it is so natural and beautiful!

This lip oil has the prettiest packaging and looks so glossy when wearing it. Not to mention carrying around this lip oil just makes you feel like THAT girl. Even if you don't repurchase, I recommend getting it at least once and if anything you can h...

Seriously an amazing lip product. There's a normal version and a plumping version and the lip plump is my fav. If you need a product that actually plumps your lips this is it.

This elf halo glow has minimal coverage but using it as or after a primer leaves your makeup looking so dewy and in my opinion makes your skin look more even. This is a staple in my makeup routine, 10/10 recommend. Great dupe for the Charolette Tilbu...

I love how this skin tint has SPF and how gorgeous it looks on my skin. It almost feels like wearing a serum but it gives you a good amount of coverage. If you want to cover imperfections it may not be great for that, but if you're just looking for a...

If you love the Milk Hydro Grip primer but don't like the price, the power grip primer is what you need. It is almost identical, except I do think the power grip primer is a little more tacky. I always use this before doing my makeup and will always ...
Power Grip Primer

Definitely an Ilia skin tint dupe. It makes my skin look so smooth and feels so lightweight. Not to mention the shade range is everything. If you're looking for an affordable base this is it. I do need to set it with a powder because I tend to get oi...

This concealer is medium coverage and doesn't leave a cakey look at all. I started using it about a month ago and i'm so glad I gave it a shot after hearing mixed reviews. I have heard it is not great for acne prone skin, but as someone who deals wit...

Mascara

I LOVE having voluminous, long lashes, these are the mascaras I grab for first.

The double-sided wand on this mascara makes this one of my favs. The formula along with the wand gives you volume and length. Definitely splurge if you haven't already.

This amazing, affordable mascara has given me the volume I am always searching for. I've repurchased this at least 3 different times and no drugstore mascara compares to this one. The curved wand also reaches all of my lashes and gives me length. A s...

Takes a lot for a mascara to impress me but this does everything I need it to. Volume, length, and isn't flaky. I use a lash primer before applying and my lashes look like I just did them all day.

If you're looking for a two faced better than sex dupe this is it. Honestly doesn't look any different and I pair it with the lash paradise primer which makes it last all day. Volume, length, and doesn't flake.
Voluminous Lash Paradise Mascara - L'Oréal

Essentially goes on like a white mascara, but this seriously makes my mascara look good all day. I apply it and separate my lashes how I want and let it dry and no matter what mascara I use my lashes look great. Best drugstore lash primer for sure.

This is my everyday mascara and is great for a natural look. Gives you volume but not too much so it still gives you a natural look and gives you so much length. Definitely a must have.

I love this mascara because it is so natural but gorgeous. Doesn't flake and lengthens your lashes so much. If you're looking for volume I wouldn't recommend but I do pair this with volumizing mascaras as well for both length and volume though.

Definitely a Charlotte Tillbury dupe, I've used both and honestly I like the elf one better. Elf first off is more affordable and I feel like this wand is more illuminating. I have the shade champagne and i'm in love with it.

This is marketed as a blush but I use it as a bronzer. It's suits my skin tone so well as a bronzer and it's definitely a fav. If you haven't already try this out!

This is technically a concealer but it works so well as a bronzer and its affordable. Looks so smooth on the skin and the shade range is good for a nice bronzy look. Has the charlotte tilburry wand for easy application.

I love this contour wand! I use it as bronzer because I have a warm shade, but if you are looking for contour the lightest shade is good for that since it has a grayish undertone. I use the second lightest for bronzer. So easily blendable and love th...
