Liquid Touch Weightless Foundation
A travel size if you want to sample this foundation. It's lightweight and looks so good on my skin. If you want a fuller coverage, this might not be a good fit for you, but if you just want a lightweight you will probably love this product like I do....

One of my absolute favorite full coverage foundations from the drug store. Maybelline has some really good products, this being one of them!

Every time I wear this stuff I can't believe how poreless and smooth my skin actually looks, everyone I know who uses this foundation thinks of it as the best drugstore. I'd say it's definitely my favorite matte drugstore foundation for how well it s...
Natural Beige 220 Fit Me Matte + Poreless Liquid Foundation - Maybelline | Ulta Beauty
The bestttt makeup application tool hands down!! I do prefer brushes for achieving fuller coverage and with certain foundations, but my goal with every face products, is to be able to use my beauty blender. It's so much less irritating to the skin.
ORIGINAL Beautyblender Makeup Sponge
They can dupe them all they want, but no sponge compares to the OG Beautyblender. This is sooo soft and makes the makeup look so good. My favorite way to apply my liquid products!
Original Beautyblender Makeup Sponge - beautyblender | Ulta Beauty
It Cosmetics makes some of the best products, I love this makeup for a clean girl makeup look with SPF. One of the highest levels of SPF in a makeup product that I have found. I love this. It evens out my skintone and wears beautifully on the skin.
Light CC+ Cream with SPF 50+ - IT Cosmetics | Ulta Beauty
The FULLEST coverage foundation out there. It is extremely light and liquidy, which makes you think that there is no way it can cover like it claims. Don't let that fool you!! This stuff takes such a teeny tiny amount, I'm serious, very minimal amoun...
Essential Crème Foundation
Love this for darkening up a foundation that is too light during the summer months when I'm a bit more than tan the rest of the year. Also, like using this for a no makeup makeup look by just applying it as a liquid bronzer on certain parts of my fac...

Monroe Star Lit Liquid Highlighter - Ofra Cosmetics | Ulta Beauty
I love this palette, especially for whenever I travel. The shades can be used for eyeshadows too, even though it's technically a face palette. It has blush, bronzer, contour, and highlight options. I love traveling with this, because I don't have to ...

Such a beautiful coral shade blush!!
061 Poppy Coral Rosy Glow Blush - Dior | Ulta Beauty
Eyes
A great lash lift kit if you don't want to spend hundreds of dollars at the salon. Money saving and efficient. Pretty easy to use. I recommend watching a YouTube tutorial on how to do it beforehand.
Saisze Eyelash Perming Kit + Lash Lifting Curling Set, Cilia Lift Extensions, Professional Eyelash Lifting kit, Lash Lifting Tools Suitable for Salon Beauty, Include Eye Shields, Pads, and Accessories
The BEST eyebrow pencil ever. I got a couple different beauty subscription boxes that would send me brow products to try from other companies very often. I would always go back to my NYX micro brow pencil. It's just the best. It's nearly impossible t...
NYX Professional Makeup Vegan Micro Eyebrow Pencil - 07 Espresso - 0.003oz
The best drugstore mascara ever!! My eyelashes are straight as a board and this stuff really helps to hold them up when I curl them and makes them look so long! Isn't clumpy or flakey either.
Maybelline Lash Sensational Sky High Lengthening Mascara - 0.24 fl oz
This is the best mascara primer I have ever used!! I have tried a lot of them, and this one gives the best results for add the length and volume to my lashes. It also makes a noticeable difference in keeping my mascara in place all day, and not flaki...
Cils Booster XL Super-Enhancing Mascara Primer
One of the best mascaras I have ever used. I have straight as a board eyelashes, so it's hard for me to find a good mascara to actually lift and hold them curled. This one lengthens like crazy. So good and the wand shape really helps for the lower la...

Love love love this lash serum! I used it on my lashes for about 2 weeks and saw significant results. It really does make a difference, just make sure to follow instructions.

Absolutely love this mascara. This mascara paired with the primer is the best thing for thinner lashes. It really keeps my eyelashes lifted and holds the curl, unlike so many other mascaras that I have tried. I love this one.
Mini HYPNÔSE DRAMA Instant Full Body Volume Mascara
Love this heated eyelash curler, this one is really good for people who already have lashes with a tiny bit of curl and some length to them. I love this, for how easy it is to use and that it doesn't yank and pull the lashes like the traditional curl...
GrandeLASH-LIFT Heated Lash Curler - Grande Cosmetics | Ulta Beauty
My personal favorite! I love this eyelash curler, because I do have straight as a board eyelashes, no matter how hard I try to keep them curled. This product and the Lancome Mascara primer have been life changing for me with my eyelash confidence. I ...

Love these lash clusters for at home lash extensions
Velour-Xtension Hybrid Lash Extension Cluster Refills
I absolutely love Eyelure. They are so affordable and high quality lashes. A lot of lash extensions irritate my eyes or feel heavy. These do not irritate my eye and are absolutely beautiful.
Definition Individuals Manga Lash Extension Kit - Eylure | Ulta Beauty
Absolutely love these eyelashes. They require no glue and are so convenient to use. Whoever marketed this for KISS was a genius!
imPRESS Press-On Falsies Eyelash Clusters, Chic Wispy
Violet Voss has the prettiest eyeshadow palettes for the best bang for your buck. I really love the Sunkissed palette, the shimmer shades are stunning.
Violet Voss Sunkissed Summer Eyeshadow Palette
I'm not even a huge eyeshadow fan. I usually just use a bronzer and highlight for the eye area. I've had many eyeshadow palettes before, and gave them away, because I just don't care much for them. However, THIS Violet Voss palette is so darn good. I...
VIOLET VOSS COSMETICS Essentials Eyeshadow Palette
I have tried so many high end and drugstore lash glues, and Kiss will forever be my favorite. If you struggle with glue showing, the black blends in with your liner and mascara perfectly.
Lash Couture Lash Adhesive, Black - Kiss | Ulta Beauty
I will always rebuy this!! This is the best lash glue ever. I always get other lash sets with their own glue, but they never compare to my trusted Kiss strip glue. I use these for cluster lash extensions at home too, the best glue.
Strip Lash Brush On Adhesive - Kiss
I can't recommend this mascara enough. Especially paired with the Lancome white mascara primer. That stuff will make any mascara apply better.
Intense Pitch Black BADgal BANG! Volumizing Mascara - Benefit Cosmetics | Ulta Beauty
This eye brightening corrector is incredible! It really does make a difference and is great if you don't want to wear full makeup or concealer under the eye. It really makes the eye area glow and look beautiful. A great product. It is thick and a lit...

Another great eye brightening corrector for every day wear if you don't like wearing concealer or foundation every day. This is a great alternative that helps brigthen the eye area.
Makeup Revolution Eye Bright Under Eye Corrector - Light to Medium - 0.28oz
Concealer
Elf hydrating concealer wears beautifully under the eyes. It's hard for me to find a concealer that doesn't settle terribly under my eyes. This also provides great coverage.
Hydrating Camo Concealer - e.l.f. Cosmetics
The OG of concealers!! I truly don't know one person who uses this concealer and doesn't love it. It gets a 10/10. Wears beautifully, great coverage, and a wide shade range. I have yet to find a product from Tarte that I don't love.
Shape Tape Full Coverage Concealer - Tarte
One of the best concealers for the eye area
Maybelline Instant Age Rewind Instant Eraser Multi Use Concealer, 100, 0.2 fl oz
One of the prettiest concealers that doesn't cake up under the eye. Has great brightening effect for the eye area.
FLOWER Beauty - Light Illusion Full Coverage Concealer
Such a beautiful concealer and super creamy. I'm not the biggest fan of concealers for the eye area, because I have a hard time finding ones that don't crease under there. This almost has a cooling feel to it upon application.
maracuja creaseless creamy concealer
Juicy Lips
I've tried countless lip plumping products, and Too Faced Maximum Lip Plumper is the best one ever.
Lip Injection Maximum Plump Extra Strength Hydrating Lip Plumper
The best affordable lip gloss and liner set. This gloss is my favorite. It feels so nice on the lips, buttery and creamy smooth.
Maybelline Lifter Lip Liner and Lip Gloss Set
A good affordable plumping gloss if you don't want to splurge on the Too Faced Lip Injection gloss, this one is amazing too.
Maybelline Lifter Plump Lasting Lip Gloss, Blush Blaze
Mac lipsticks are the best ones. They have such a rich creamy feel to them and wear so well on the lips. This color is a perfect shade for every day. I like pairing it with a pop of Maybelline plump gloss in Amber or reef shade.
Velvet Teddy M·A·Cximal Silky Matte Lipstick - MAC | Ulta Beauty
If you like a nice nude shade with a hint of pink, this is such a beautiful color. Mac has so many shades and are all soo good!

Cheeky Super Stay Vinyl Ink Liquid Lipcolor - Maybelline | Ulta Beauty
This is one of my favorite products ever. When they say it stays, they MEAN it! This liquid lip by Maybelline will last all day, even eating and drinking. You definitely need a makeup removing balm or oil to remove. For the price point and wear time,...

Prime, Finish, Set
The best finishing spray in the business. Such a terrific product for making your makeup look smooth and blended. It's seriously so beautiful.
Prep + Prime Fix+ Primer and Setting Spray - Matte Finish - MAC | Ulta Beauty
This is the ONLY powder I will ever use, as it is the only powder I have ever tried (I've tried a lot), that doesn't make my skin look 10 years aged. Most powders cake up on me and set in my fine lines around my eyes and forehead. This one wears abso...
Translucent Loose Setting Powder
This is comparable to the Mac Fix + spray, but much more affordable. I love this setting spray. It blends and smooths my makeup and helps it to stay in place better.
Milani Make It Last Setting Spray, Prime + Correct + Set, Natural Finish, 2.03 fl oz
This is one of my favorite products. I'm not a huge primer girl, as I use skincare products to enhance that. HOWEVER, this primer has become a staple in my routine, whether I'm going out to dinner or simply running errands. I love using this for my n...
Illuminating Primer- Always An Optimist Collection
I have larger pores around my nose area that drive me crazy. This Smashbox primer is amazing for blurring those pores and giving me a nice smoother foundation application base.
Photo Finish Smooth & Blur Oil-Free Foundation Primer
If you have dry skin, you need this primer! It is SO hydrating! Easily the most hydrating primer I have ever used.
