💎 Boujee Beauty
High-end/Luxury Beauty recs that can (mostly) be found at your local Sephora.
Colour Recommendations: Chocolate (for brown lip combos) and Fuschia Flex (for plum lip combos)
Gloss Bomb Heat Universal Lip Luminizer + Plumper
The best and beginner friendly brow pencil that's a true black!
Goof Proof Brow Pencil
The iconic vanilla perfume that's become my signature scent!
KAYALI VANILLA | 28 Eau de Parfum
Best beginner friendly contour that is so blendable and creamy – it almost feels like a cheat-code for looking snatched.
Fenty Beauty by Rihanna Match Stix Matte Contour Skinstick
A must-have for oily girls to prep the skin for flawless makeup application.
Hydro Grip Hydrating Makeup Primer with Hyaluronic Acid + Niacinamide
A sweet caramel scent that pairs well with Vanilla perfume! *not available on Sephora
Sticky Dates Body Spray
My favourite serum for my basic skincare regimen – leaves me skin hydrated and nourished.
Hyaluronic Acid 2% + B5 (with Ceramides)
(*Not Available at Sephora but considered luxury skincare) The best no-cast sunscreen that I've tried and a little goes a long way.
La Roche Posay Sunscreen & Sun Protection for Sensitive Skin
💄Affordable It-Girl Picks
Beauty recommendations for the girly pops on a budget!
Use this spray first throughout your routine and lock it in with the Infallible Setting Mist for an unbeatable setting duo.
The Vegan Face Glue Setting Spray | NYX Professional Makeup
Arguably one of the best setting sprays to lock in your makeup! (Just hold your nose and mouth closed for a minute after you spray it lol)
Infallible Infallible 3-Second Setting Mist
A staple for almost every one of my ombre lip combos! My favourite colour is Butterscoth.
Butter Lip Gloss - NYX Professional Makeup
This is my favourite base product! It has a great finish +very buildable + it's good for my skin – love it <3 (My shade is colour 368)
Super Stay® Up to 24HR Skin Tint with Vitamin C
My first blonzer (bronzer + blush) and it's very pigmented & easy to blend, giving you a vacation-glow at an affordable price! (My colour is 08: Butta Than U)
Buttermelt Bronzer - NYX Professional Makeup
If you see me wearing a pink blush – it's this blush (in colour, “Butta with Time”)! It's so cute and easy to blend.
BUTTERMELT BLUSH - NYX PROFESSIONAL MAKEUP
This concealer has great coverage and is perfect for longwear! I have shade 50 for my bright undereye makeup looks.
Super stay full coverage under eye concealer
My newest base product which has not disappointed at all! It lasts beautifully and has gotten me though the Toronto heatwaves. The only thing I hate is the lack of shades which leaves me using shade 405 and using my concealers to reverse contour.
Super Stay Up to 30HR Lumi Matte Foundation
Using the foundation powder to set my base in and matte things down has been a game-changer as an oily skin gyal. I use shade 355 (coconut) for all around my face and shade 330 to set my bright undereyes.
Fit Me matte poreless powder
One of my go-to liners because I hateee the sharpening process and it's so easy to apply.
Duck Plump Plumping Lip Liner | Nyx Professional Makeup
The cheapest and smoothest lip liner that needs no pencil sharpening! You can find it at your local BSW or Clore Beauty for cheaper (Black Beauty Stores) – the link is just for reference of what it looks like.
Ruby Kisses Intense Lip Liner Pencil
Best Mascara!!! You need this in your makeup kit immediately.
Telescopic Original Mascara Blackest Black
If Telescopic isn't on sale, then this is the next in-line mascara that I'll buy.
Lash Sensational sky high waterproof mascara
The best drug store gloss! Dare I say it's a dupe for the Fenty glosses.
Lip Lifter Gloss with Hyaluronic Acid
Korean Skincare
Skincare that actually works for combination & oily girls with acne and textured skin.
This product is healing so many of my dark spots! It's a daily skincare staple – day & night, darling!
Vitamide Brightening Pad
