I love building on this product depending on my makeup mood, and mixing colors too. Doing so in tiny dots though---pigmented!

The mix of pink hues and tones of the blush gives off the prettiest, blush glow!!

I have this product in ā€œAu Naturelā€ and it's a great brownish red to bring color and warmth to the face. The formula itself goes on very pigmented, but blends into the skin as it dries for a more natural look. Buildable and workable.

I have ā€œLondon," and I like using it to add a pinkish shimmer to my looks. It complements my blush when I apply it to my cheekbones, and it's fun to add to my inner corners too āœØšŸ’–āœØšŸ’–āœØ

This palette is packed with all the essential neutrals plus great green pigments to play around with too! And they are PIGMENTED. One of the first real makeup ā€œinvestmentā€ purchases I made.

I believe this is a limited edition palette, but I find it so useful because of the elevated neutrals it offers! Warm shimmers for highlight and deep tones for smokey looks.

My first ever big-girl eyeshadow palette is one from Morphe, and I truly am so happy with it. I got ā€œMakin' Bankā€ which I'm not sure is still available on their site. Regardless, I'm here to tell you that these palettes work great. Try and find one w...

I received this as a gift from one of my friends, and it's grown to be one of my favorite mascaras---if not already my go-to atp! It's not waterproof which I feel makes it more gentle on my eyelashes, but it can also hold a curl really well which I a...

Boy Brow! I don't like filling in my eyebrows all the time, and this product is great for adding volume to my brows while also maintaining a clean and minimalist look.

I love this product! The formula makes it glide on so easily when I do my liner. It's creamy and buildable. I have it in Matte Mulberry.

My friend actually suggested this product to me after I had asked for red lipstick recommendations, and I found what I was looking for in this shade of red. A deeper, slightly more muted tone, but one that still pops. I'm definitely happy with it---I...

My current go-to lip gloss :) I have shade ā€œSay My Nameā€ which is the perfect nude tone with gold glimmer, and the ā€œplumpingā€ part adds a cooling effect when applied āœØšŸ¤Ž

A non-sticky lip stain formula from Happy Skin that is glossy on swipe. Based on my experience, this stain does not budge!!! I've woken up from long nights wearing this product, after skincare and all, with lips still faintly pink. I love how the col...

The lip treatment glides on like a gloss. With its thick applicator, my lippie fix is all set on nights out! I love ā€œCowgirlā€ as a rosy nude for my complexion, as I find other ā€œnudesā€ are too pale/light on me.

Guys, I'm very much in love with this product. I'm big on lip hydration, and this lippie does that (+ SPF protection) all while giving your lips a rosy sheen. It comes in 3 colors, but my favorite is ā€œCherry Fizzā€ for its deep muted berry tone.
