All good stuff
best lasting in great colors, easy to apply and smooth on brows
L'Oreal Paris Faux Brow Hair-Like Eyebrow Pen
Love the way this moisturizers and goes on without feeling like I'm wearing much lipstick. Great color selection too!
Chubby Stick: Multitasking Color for Lip, Cheek & More
the pink matte is the best color for pale skin, use over highlighter or a very light weight concealer on the lids, then add darker color in the crease.
Maybelline Expert Wear Eyeshadow Singles
Brown is best for blonds, black for very dark hair. Love how this lasts all day and has a very fine tip for precision applications.
loreal eyeliner
Best for all face shapes IMHO! Love this brush, super soft but strong enough to last.
MAC Cosmetics MAC 116 Blush Brush (Women)
I've been super happy with this product but ony started using it, so stay tuned. Seems to adapt well to my combination skin
LAURA GELLER Baked Blush-n-Brighten Powder Blush
This is my my all time go-to foundation for staying true to color, staying on my face with feeling greasy, and not drying out either. Been using this for 25+ years now starting in my 30's after I had kids and went from oily skin to T-zone oily and co...
Superbalanced™ Makeup
I combine this with any decent 40+ sunscreen under this makeup for even more SPF coverage, especially on sunny days when I'm outdoors for hours
Even Better Clinical™ Serum Foundation with SPF 25
A pricier option but worth the investment because it applies smoothly, feels great, and doesn't irritate my eyes at all.
High Impact™ Mascara
with near a 5 star review, this mascara is worth it for all day long (think special event) wearing. I used it for my niece's wedding and was very pleased with how long it lasted w/o flaking.
VolumeCare+ Mascara
Best if you just want to try for hypoallegetic reasons. I tried about 5 different sensitive eyes mascaras and put this one in my travel bag as a back up for when I get out of the pool or beach. It's worth the money for sure!
e.l.f. Lash XTNDR Tubing & Lengthening Mascara
This is pricey but stays on the longest for me during a sweaty hot day. Get the cream color for a base, and if you are grey/blond like me, with med fair skin, I like the Sienna color for my eye lid crease area.
The Best Eyeshadow 2.9g
Wow, I was blown away by this conditioner! I picked this up because my gray/blond hair was feeling heavy and a bit lifeless after a week of blah hotel washing/conditioining. I did a bit of research first and thought I'd try this one first. My hair is blowing out perfectly after only a few uses. I recommend using it every other day and you'll see the difference.
Alterna CAVIAR Anti-Aging Moisture

Face care only
Been using this for 30 years on my combination skin, and it's the best lightweight astringent that removes any leftover grime post facial cleansing. 100% recommend for men and women!
Clinique Clarifying Lotion 2 - Exfoliator for Dry Skin
Cann not find a better 30 spf facial moisturizer - this one rocks! Forget the every day moisurizer, this one is better and newer.
Clinique Smart Clinical Repair™ Broad Spectrum SPF 30 Wrinkle ...
This is my most fav foundation for staying true, not greasy, not drying. Been using this for 25+ years now starting in my 30's after I had kids and went from oily skin to T-zone oily and combination skin. Pro tip! buy two shades closest to your summe...
Superbalanced™ Makeup
Recent discovery! Over 40 SPF is recommended and this one rocks at a GREAT PRICE. Buy the lighter shade and layer up with foundation.
Eucerin Sun Age Defense Tinted Face SPF 50
