I use shade .25 mallow. I’ve repurchased this concealer multiple times. I enjoy the almost whipped texture& that when I’m paler I can fake it for foundation on low effort days.
ILIA Concealer - SC1: Light with Warm Undertones
I’m working through a tube in their old packaging. I feel confident in saying it’s still a solid dupe for the Urban Decay primer potion. I will admit eyeshadow primer is a step I often forget.
Eyeshadow Primer | Eye Primer and Brightener - e.l.f. Cosmetics
This weeks pallette! I waited years and years to be able to afford to purchase this and two years to be able to snag it while it was in stock. I'm enjoying pushing myself to work with tones I've not worked with in a dragons age.
Mothership V: Bronze Seduction - PAT McGRATH LABS
I have the shades corrupt, perversion,& whiskey in my bag. I've been branching out and using these as cream eyeshadows to achieve the perfect grunge Smokey liner /smokey eye. I love working with this formula and cannot recommend highly enough!
24/7 Glide-On Eye Waterproof Eyeliner Pencil - Urban Decay
I can NOT tell you just how MANY tubes I have purchased of this product! Even on days when I have no time but want something to help frame my face- this is my go to product. I use the shade brunette.
Thick it. Stick It! Brow Gel Mascara | NYX Professional Makeup
This mascara has a very wet formula& is overall very pleasant to use. I've repurchased this mascara multiple times& will continue to do so.
Highly Rated Mascara - Milani Cosmetics
This multi stick succeeds in the area so many fail. I've used this on my eyes as a base, lips& cheeks. I have a goal of using this up before April 2025& I think I'm making good progress to achieve that goal.
Mauve Rose - Multi-Stick Makeup - ILIA Beauty
At first this bronzer was very intimidating. I've found less is more with this product. I love the watercolor effect it gives. I feel that it makes the blend and affect very organic to the face.
Cloud Paint - Glossier
I currently have the travel size of enlighten in my bag. I have purchased the full size! I'm enjoying using this all over the face & eyes.
Positive Light Liquid Luminizer - Rare Beauty
An absolute must have! I pop one of these into my bag for fast brush cleaning and a quick way to wipe off the slobber in the morning.
Make-up Removing Cloths 4 Count, Erase Your Face
I have pink quartz currently. I love the slightly enhanced color it gives to the lips and the lasting hydration.
Glow Reviver Tinted Lip Oil | e.l.f. Cosmetics
I currently have bleached hair. I enjoy keeping a mini of this oil in my bag to help hydrate my ends. The smell is absolutely lovely!!
Moroccanoil Treatment Original
This is a rather good affordable sharpener. The accessibility of being able to pick it up at Walmart in a pinch is the best! The cover will easily slip off, but for the price- the cover isn't a deal breaker for me.
Dual-Pencil Sharpener - e.l.f. Cosmetics
A similar mirror to the one I currently use. Definitely useful for on the go makeup application no matter if I'm applying makeup quickly in my car or at my desk.
Best Compact & Travel Mirrors
I use the blonde/gold tone currently. The handiness of having some Bobby pins on hand cannot be underestimated!
Goody: Bobby Pins & Hair Pins
A cheap easy sponge to use. I'm not too picky when it comes to sponges.
Foundation Sponge, 3 Count - Walmart.com
An even more budget friendly. Yes. I currently have 2 sponges. One is a sponge with flat edges and one is more of a tear drop shape. At this point in my life I cannot be fuffed to spend big bucks on something that I will be replacing frequently for h...
10PK MAKEUP SPONGE - Walmart.com
I have bought this set twice because the brushes are that good. I have one full set of these and a second PD8 round tapered powder brush. These synthetic brushes are great for blending creams as well as powders.
3-pc Artistry Face Brush Set - Profusion Cosmetics
This pencil brush is probably my favorite out of my entire collection. It's the perfect size for smudging liner under the eye or stamping eyeshadow on top of liner on the upper lid, or even precisely placing dark powders in the outer V to be blended.
Studio Selection Eye Smudge Brush - Dollar General
I have bought this set twice as well. I love how soft these brushes are and how versatile they can be.
3-pc Artistry Eye Brush Set - Profusion Cosmetics
I currently have the first rendition of this brush from over 11yrs ago. Real Techniques quality really stands the test of time. I do have this same brush from last summer both as an individual brush and from a set. I will say the brushes in the set h...
Expert Face Makeup Brush - Real Techniques
I keep my makeup products& face cloth in here. I'm sure I could also pack all the brushes in here, but I like to keep them seperate for organization. By having things in two bags it speeds up my makeup application process.
Basics Transparent PVC with Black Webbed Handle & Piping with ...
This is a bag similar to what I am currently using. The one I'm using is from a 2 pc makeup bag set with monstera leaves from two summers ago available at Walmart.
EzPacking Clear Makeup & Brush Bag Pouch
I have a single clip tucked in with my brushes for the days I have my hair down, but need my hair out of my face.
Equate Salon Clips, 6 Count - Walmart.com
This foundation is on my product use up by April 2025 list. It has a velvet type feel while also being watery. I love the glowy finish that it gives the skin and that it doesn't dry out my skin. The jury is still out on if I will repurchase.
Super Serum Skin Tint SPF 40 - ILIA Beauty
