Foundation

These are the foundations sitting patiently in my Sephora cart — the ones I keep convincing myself I “need.” I’m manifesting a smooth base that doesn’t betray me halfway through the day.

I swatched this foundation in Sephora over the weekend and it looked so beautiful dryed down. It was a natural finish. I didn't notice and oxidation like some people have claimed. But this one is already in my cart.

This is a Luminous Natural Matte Foundation. I have seen a lot of MUA wear and recommend this foundation and I am a suck-er for a Luminous Matte Foundation.

IF I get this pricy foundation, it would just be in the refill. I know everyone loved this when it first came out. It defines the skin in three dimensions including tone, luminosity, and texture to reveal soft-filtered skin in real life.

Concealer

I’ve entered my “bright under eyes or bust” era. These are the concealers I’m dying to try — promising hydration, coverage, and the illusion that I sleep more than five hours a night.

This is another pricy concealer AND complexion enhancer. Sarah Creal is focused on mature skin. BUT I have such dry under eyes. Its a medium coverage AND moisturizing. Sounds right up my alley.

I don't NEED this but I want to get the mini size cherry light color corrector. I am just so intrigued by it. Mind you, I have the Caliray too. We shall see.

They alway sell out the shade I THINK I am in this gucci concealer whenever it goes on sale. I think I am finally going to pick this one up. I love a hydrating concealer for my dry under eyes. Have you tried this concealer?

Blushes

I don’t need another blush, but tell that to my cart. These blushes are calling my name — flattering, and the kind that instantly make me look alive

I love a good trio. I have one of these already in the Gwrly Pop (Dark Pink) and these babies are SUPER pigmented. I am in my pink girl era right now so this is why its on my wish list. I also really love the shades in the redish one.

I have the shade GALE on my wish list. It is currently sold out for shipping AND delivery in my area. I know its a great fall shade. This is a bouncy blush that feels like play dough. I know they are buildable in coverage so very beginner friendly. I...

Another matter blush on my wish list. I am sorry but I think matte blushes are the best for fall/winter. I love the shade “second language”. A creamy, velvet powder blush that blends perfectly into skin with a cloud-matte finish that wears all day.

I can do with or without this liquid blush honestly. I know they are a little pricy but the shades are SSSOOOO pretty. I have the shade Elodie - hot coral in my cart. I hear its a hydrating formula that gives a buildable burst of color and a radiant ...

Isn't this color Bold Pink beautiful? This is one of the Natural Finish Shades. It instantly melts into skin and delivers a flush of color. I am pretty sure this was apart of Sabrina Carpenters makeup routine.

Bronzer

I’m building my dream bronzer lineup: soft, blendable, and believable. Just enough warmth without leaving the house.

 
Nicole Gonzales profile picture
I have only seen ONE review on this bronzer. But I love a blurring bronzer. I am torn between the shades light and medium. It also has almost 5 stars. Decisions are hard.

Okay, Okay. I KNOW this one is pricy! But I have heard nothing but AMAZING things about Fara Homidi, especially the bronzer. I have the shade Lumen in my cart. It has a cream-like feel which has me intrigued.

This is another product I am on the fence about. I don't know if I should get light or medium though. Or if I should even get it at all. It kinda reminds me of the old KVD cream contour palette if I am being honest. By the way, I still have it in my ...

Soooo what do we think about this Dior Bronzer? I know this is more of a buildable bronzer and I have number “30” in my cart. I swatched all the shades in store and “10” and “20” are a little too light for me. I really don't need another powder bronz...

Lippies

My weakness. I have SO MANY lip products already, but these are giving “add to cart immediately.”

This is a matte lipstick and I have the shade “shy” in my cart. Its a soft pink shade. It looks really pretty. It says its long lasting and pigmented. Sounds good to me lol.

Gisou just came out with (3) fall/winter shades of their Honey Infused Hydrating Lip Oil. I already picked up the lightest one, Vanilla Glazy but I low key want Sticky Toffee too. They pair so well with a lip liner.

An ultra-pigmented, creamy lip liner with a smooth-gliding application for a precise finish that moves with your lips all day…SOLD. Now for which shade, that is the question. I am thinking… follow the natural shade and create the shape.

An intensely pigmented lipstick with a modern, matte-cloud finish that lasts all day. Who doesnt want a lipstick that lasts all day? Wild Rose & 88 have my attention.

I love a good lip liner and have a few from ABH, I am obssesed. BUT I want to add cinnamon to my collection. Its like like the perfect nude-brown shade. Pait it with a light nude-pink lipstick…yessss!!

Now this is a pricy one and I do NOT currently have any in my makeup collection. However, Faun looks stunning. It is a very soft beige with cool undertones. It is a creamy, velvety, smudgeable lip pencil with a suede finish and long-lasting wear.

I don't own any YSL lippies. BUT I kinda want to get 6B a brown nude to wear with a lip liner. It is a smooth, buttery lip balm providing soft shine and a sheer flush of color.

Setting Spray

I am just intrigued with the idea of a matte setting spray. I am a dry skin girly who loves a natural to matte base. What can I say lol.

Its between the Charlotte Tilbury and the Danessa Myricks Mattifying Setting Sprays. I do have dry skin but I just love a matte complexion sometimes. What can I say? I am learning toward my girl Danessa though. It is a weightless, blurring setting sp...

Complexion Brushes

I have almost all these brushes in my collection already and LOVE LOVE LOVE them. I honestly don't need another brush but why not add a few more of my favorites?

This is the larger dual ended brush from Patrick Ta. I use this brush often for his cheek duo. One side is perfect for powder and the other for cream.

Eyeshadows

My weakness (right next to lip products). I’ve been stalking these palettes for months — the perfect mix of everyday neutrals and “main character” shimmer. Do I need more eyeshadow? No. Am I still adding them to my cart? Absolutely.

 
Nicole Gonzales profile picture
This one is a maybe. I already bought the companion palette ( the darker one). But I love Natasha Denona and her eyeshadows. It's the collector in me.

These shades are just calling me. I think they would look so pretty on brown eyes and make them really pop. Plys the YSL eyeshadow formula is amazing.
