I like things natural but sometimes with a lil pop, you know?
Always been my favorite brow gel! Miss it.
Boy Brow | Tinted Brow Gel
I LOVE this under red lippy to prolong the color! I don't find it dehydrating, and if you let it fully dry before applying product over it, it really lasts. It's nice to use on its own as well.
Etude House - Dear Darling Water Tint
This makes my lashes stand out and it's so affordable! The waterproof variety DOES NOT BUDGE. I've used this for years and years.
Essence Lash Princess False Lash Effect Black Mascara
The prettiest glitter eyeshadows, worth every penny! Gives you a nice amount of really gorgeous sparkle in even small swipes.
Glitter & Glow Liquid Eye Shadow
So light and easy to apply! I do like to smooth it out with a good brush, but otherwise absolutely adore this foundation. I feel like it does smooth and even my skin out quite well.
Mask Fit Red Cushion
Your makeup will NOT BUDGE, okay? Spray this and it will STAY.
Fixing Spray | Kryolan - Professional Make-up
A longtime love. Sometimes you need a perfect red lip, and for me, no red lip has ever been more perfect.
Stunna Lip Paint Longwear Fluid Lip Color

Stuff I love for my mature skin
I really did use my tube of this to the last drop! Never had a nicer moisturizer, light and hydrating.
Instant Angel Moisturizer | Lipid-Rich, Nourishing Face Cream
Lightweight, not at all chalky or nasty feeling on the hands. I don't mind putting it on at all!
Beauty of Joseon Relief Sun : Rice + Probiotics SPF50+ 50 ml
INCREDIBLE I keep this in my bag to touch up my SPF on the go. Super pleasant to apply and so easy.
Beauty of Joseon Matte sun stick : Mugwort+Camelia SPF50 PA++++ I ...
I LOVE THIS THING. I get these weird rough patches over my knees… gone after using this a couple of times in the shower! Much nicer than a loofah net, foams up my soap better and everything.
African Exfoliating Net
I have been using this cleanser for a year and it's been so nice on my skin! Not drying, doesn't contribute to my rosiness, very gentle but effective and the price point is so good!
Pyunkang Yul - Calming Low pH Foaming Cleanser 150ml
I loved the smell of this, and I felt it worked nicely on my skin and in my hair!
Ancient Greek After Shower Body Oil 4oz
Nails
I am a recovering nail obsessive who still has some deeply loved faves
My FAVORITE nail polishes. Last for ages, many go on in one great coat, they're super glossy and the brush is amazing.
Barry M Gelly Hi Shine Nail Paints - Long-Lasting Gel-Like Nail Polish
Another great lacquer brand, some of the best fine glitters on the market as well as gorgeous neutrals and fabulous fun shades.
butter London Nail Varnish
This is THE best cuticle oil. It smells so amazing and works really well! Pleasant to apply.
CND Solar Oil - morgen in huis
My favorite press-on brand! Sometimes I am too lazy for a manicure, and KISS has such cute patterns and even their sticky tabs STICK HARD to my nails.
