Tints and Stains

It is a requirement for me to wear some sort of tint on my lips everyday. A non-negotiable in my routine.

THIS TINT OMG THIS TINT. I am not kidding in the slightest when I say that I use this everyday. Like everyday. all. the. time. I bought this over a year ago and it still has half of the product left. It gives the prettiest pop of color while lasting ...

Being the dupe for Benetint, this product performs so incredibly well. Its honestly way better than Benetint and I personally own both products. The color payoff is amazing and it actually lasts on the lips. Amazing product for a great price.

This tint is so so hydrating and leaves your lips feeling moisturized. The application of this tint super smooth and almost creamy. You would think the consistency is more like a gloss. And similar to a gloss, the tint stays shiny and hydrating. The ...

A drugstore holy grail. These tints are SO pigmented and true to their shades. The applicator allows for precise lines. These are very hydrating as well which is a plus.

Another solid drugstore lip stain that performs so well. These are super super pigmented which contributes to their longevity. They have some gorgeous vampy shades which I love.

I would consider this a hybrid between a lip oil and a lip stain. These definitely leave behind a subtle tint which I LOVE. These have a super light consistency that doesn’t leave your lips feeling like they have a bunch of product on them. I have re...

Lipsticks

While I usually prefer a gloss, sometimes they don’t provide the cohesive look i’m going for. Lipsticks bring in that bold or neutral coverage that can really enhance your look. I’m more akin to satin and glossy finishes ,however, a matte lipstick ca...

These are on the pricier side HOWEVER the quality and feeling of these lipsticks make it all worth it. They feel luxurious and nourishing. This shade range is more warm leaning so keep that in mind !

Glosses

Glosses are my absolute favorite. They bring entire looks together. Whether that be a full beat, or a no-makeup makeup look.

I do not think there is a lip gloss in this world better than this Tower 28 gloss. I’m so serious. Sticky gloss? Never heard of her. This gloss is window down hair down proof. No more hair getting caught on your lips every second. The way these gloss...

I feel like these Buxom lip glosses are not talked about enough. These glosses smell so good, have the prettiest shimmer shades, and feels like a good quality product. They also have a line of glosses that are not plumping.

A great gloss for a great affordable price. Very nourishing with pretty shades and no harsh scents. You cannot go wrong with this.
NYX Fat Oil Lip Drip Lip Gloss

These are super underrated glosses that should get some time in the spotlight. These are plumping so be aware of that. The plumping is very effective but doesn’t burn or tingle significantly. The shades are beautiful especially the shimmer shades. Th...
Kylie Cosmetics Plumping Lip Gloss

These glosses an amazing choice. The formula is to DIE for. They are incredibly smooth, hydrating, and plumping if you like. They are not sticky at all give a nice cooling feeling. There so so many shades to choose from. An amazing pick.

Masks and Treatments

A good lip mask is a GODSEND in a world riddled with chapped lips, polluted air, and allergies. I have not tried very many lip masks/treatments yet, however I may not need to. The masks listed here I found early on in my journey and have treated me v...

This is better than the Laniege lip mask. There, I said it. This mask does NOT leave my lips feeling dry like the Laniege did for me. The component the mask is in is amazing. I love not having to stick my fingers into a little jar. You just twist the...

These have been amazing for me since they reformulated and no longer have that gritty texture. Incredibly hydrating and love the unscented version as an everyday topper.

Lip Liners

When I say I’m serious about lip liners I mean I am SERIOUS about lip liners. Finding the perfect lip liners has always been a struggle for me. They’re either too hard or too soft, and have ZERO lasting power. After years of going through and trying ...

Paired with the Milk stain, these two do wonders together. The shades are stunning and have great staying power. I use this almost every day by itself or paired with a gloss. Literal chefs kiss.

These liners are amaaaazing. I am very picky and I find myself grabbing these VERY often. The shades are gorgeous, more neutral to warm leaning. The liner glides on so smooth with no bleeding. These are matte but I would say they are comfortable all ...

If you were looking for a single drugstore lip liner I would immediately recommend these liners. These liners even outperform the fancy expensive brands. These liners are longwearing and has a huge shade range. You cannot beat the price for how good ...
