items So many makeup products go through periods of trending on social media. Oftentimes, they're overhyped or not worth the price. I've tried dozens of them, and the ones I've found to be worth every penny are listed here! I never leave these behind!
I will bullet-point the main strengths of the products and also provide more in-depth descriptions.

You need color and you need it to last. Look no further!
Plus, who said it can't double as a blush?
- Really does plump
- Beautiful gloss and shine
- Leaves your lips soft and hydrated
- Smells DIVINE, like what I can only describe as peppermint cotton candy
I use this oil every single day and I'm absolutely addicted to it. It gives your lips the perfect shine and I've noticed that it really does plump without having to glob it on! My favorite shade is Worth It, and I pair it with L'Oreal's Worth It lip ...

L'Oreal Paris Plump Ambition Hyaluron Lip Oil
- Super soft
- Long-lasting
- Beautiful, smooth pigment
- Easily blendable
If you don't have your hands on this lip liner, change that ASAP. This is currently the one I use with almost every single lip combo. Its soft, blends so smoothly, and lasts. I recommend pairing it with L'Oreal's plumping lip oil, which I have listed...

L'Oreal Paris Colour Riche Lip Liner Pencil
- Leaves a lasting stain
- Super pigmented
- Easily and smoothly blends
After lip stains started getting crazy popular, I knew I wanted to try one out, but I had no idea what to go for. After a bit of digging, I landed on this and the Sacheu lip liner, which I also have listed.
I was so genuinely surprised when this lip stain actually worked. It lasted for hours, even after eating lunch, and it is an absolute favorite of mine. In some ways, I even prefer it over the Sacheu lip liner, but be sure to check that one out too!
P.S. - It's the perfect long-lasting blush too ;]

NYX Lip IV Hydrating Glossy Lip Stain 12HR
- Long-lasting stain
- Beautiful, natural pigment
- You can use it for your whole lip, not just as a liner!
- If you want the color to be richer, leave it to dry longer (like 10 or 15 minutes)
There's no way you haven't heard of this lip liner by now. It has dominated the makeup scene on social media for a while now and more than 40k people have purchased this on Amazon in the last month. I'm not surprised!
Naturally, I had to try this out for myself, and it delivers on its promise. Wait ten minutes, peel, and you're left with a rich pigment that will stay on your lips even after eating like a savage. I tested it!
Just because this product is called a lip liner doesn't mean you can't use it across your entire lip. In fact, I recommend you do!

Sacheu Lip Liner STAY-N Peel Off Lip Stain
Eyes
Want the illusion of a full face of makeup in two steps? Here they are.
P.S. - If you want longer, thicker lashes, check out my skincare list!
- Bristles are perfect for isolating each lash rather than clumping them
- Water-proof (passed the pool test)
- Long-lasting
I have tried so many mascaras over the years, and it seemed to me like almost every brand yielded the same results. All of them would run into issues with clumping or melting off if water came within a foot of my face.
When I tried this, however, I learned that there was, in fact, a mascara that didn't deal with either of those problems.
This is my TOP favorite. It spreads the product smoothly and evenly, and I literally swam in the pool with it on! In the POOL! I dunked my head under and not a single bit of mascara ran down my cheeks.
If you're wondering which mascara to get next, do not pass on this!

Benefit Cosmetics "Let's Be Real" Mascara
- Super smooth, easy application
- Has a beautiful glimmer
- Easily blendable
- Long-lasting
Eyeliner - and waterline eyeliner in particular - is my favorite part of makeup. Eyeliner alone can give the illusion of a full-face when you barely have anything on except lipstick, and so I've been all-ears trying to find one that was easy to apply...
It's so easy to work with, I don't see myself ever moving on from it. It even has a shimmer.

There are two versions of this primer. I use the one with niacinamide most often, but they're both equally exceptional. Which one you pick just depends on your needs. I have both listed!

I loooooove a good body shimmer/glow, and this is the product that introduced me to it. I have since tried many iterations from different brands, but Saie's is still my favorite. It gives your skin such a healthy, balanced glow!
