I love this moisturizer before I apply my sunscreen and primer for my makeup. Great especially water based makeup. (8/10)
Clean Fresh Skincare Weightless Water Cream - CoverGirl
Â
You only need a small amount, but my skin feels smooth, radiant and hydrated. (8/10)
Revive Serum : Ginseng + Snail Mucin - Beauty of Joseon
Â
I use this before I moisturize for skin prep and it’s a game changer. Any thermal water should work, but this makes everything absorb perfectly! (9/10)
Avène Thermal Spring Water - Avene
Illuminators
Â
What an amazing product. Im so glad I purchased this. I prefer the wand more than the elf halo glow. Provides sheer and subtle glowy coverage. (10/10) More shades please
Multi-Tasker Better Than Filters
Foundation
Â
When I first bought this, I had to recommend it to all of my coworkers and friends. I still love the formula and the coverage and makes for an excellent bronzer if darker. 8/10
Quo Beauty Liquid Foundation - Shoppers Drug Mart
Â
This is a BEAUTIFUL formula. You really only need one to to pumps MAX. It empahzses your natural skin in an interesting and unique way. It's amazing for natural coverage looks and is so chef's kiss. 9/10
SurrealSkin™ Foundation – MAKEUP BY MARIO
Â
I was not expecting this product to be this full coverage and thick. More of a soft matte finish. So buildable as well. 8.5/10
Conceal + Perfect 2-In-1 Foundation and Concealer | Milani Cosmetics
Â
VERY full coverage, good formula, the shades for me to choose from were not the greatest, but it’s great for full coverage semi matte finish. (8/10)
Foundation - PÃœR Beauty
Â
One of the BEST foundations I’ve ever tried, had some confusion at first with the shades, but now..it’s BEAUTIFUL. It’s a skin like satin finish. 9/10
Complexion Enhancing Foundation and Powder - Hauslabs.com
Concealer
Â
This is my favorite concealer that I have tried so far. The price point is good since the product lasts your a long time and is medium coverage. The applicator is so easy to use and apply with. So incredibly creamy and beautiful every time. (9/10)
Swipe Hydrating Serum Concealer - Tower 28 Beauty
Â
Similar to the e.l.f. hydrating camo concealer, I don't like the doe-foot appliater and how stiff it is. The actual product itself is pretty good. The shade range needs some work, but it is a great product! (6.5/10)
Concealer - Rimmel London
Â
Acts similar to the Tower 28 concealer with the packaging, application and actual formula. It performs well, I don't know if it's the shade range at the store I purchased it from, but it seems to need some work. The actual formula is very beautiful a...
Exceptional Concealers for Flawless Skin | Makeup Collection
Â
A very light formula, medium coverage. Very little goes a long way. Great for hugging as well. (7/10)
Peeper Perfect Under-Eye Concealer - Winky Lux
Bronzer
Â
I'm not the best at reviewing matte makeup based products, as I am a dewy/satin coverage girly. But this powder was not very pigmented and I took me at least full minute to pick up any pigment. 5/10.
satin matte bronzer - {r.e.m. beauty}
Blush
Â
Gives the best powder glowy-sun kissed effect, but you could get almost the same results from the essence powder blushes or the Milani baked blushes for half the price. 7.5/10
Powder Blush - Orgasm - NARS Cosmetics
Â
Pretty shades - bad packaging. The two I bought both leaked and exploded. So hard to use. 3/10
Baby Got Blush - essence makeup
Â
Very affordable, I LOVE this powder orange blush in the shade 'Two to Tango" I use this ontop of an orange liquid blush and I get so many compliments. 10/10
Quo Double Up Blush Duo - TikTok
Â
Very similar to the Nars blushes. More shades please. 9/10

Eyeliner
Â
Good formula for the price 5/10
Eyeliner Pencils & Liquid Eyeliner - Wet n Wild
Â
OH MY GAWSH. I was playing around with some of the testers, and this eyeliner has past expiry date, but the pigment was insane and it lasted for an entire day. 8/10
PUR Eyeliner
Brows
Â
This is the best drugstore brow wax I have tried so far. Holds in place and you don't need much at all- and I have BUSHY Brows. However, I am not a laminated brow girly. 8/10.
Kind & Free Clean Brow Wax | Rimmel London
Â
I really enjoy using this product! It does harden a few minutes after been applied- however your brows look naturally tamed and styled. I do see a couple of white flakes but it’s easy to remove them. (8.5/10)
Fluff & Fix 12HR Brow Wax for Lamination Effect
Mascara/Lash Tools
Â
Suits my eye shape way better curl. 8/10
Classic Lash Curler - Tweezerman
Â
Definitely a lengthening mascara, however, it does not give the lashes a bolding or thickening effect like the ads appear to show. This looks the exact same as the Essnce Lash Like A Boss mascara that costs $6. 5/10
Exagger-Eyes Volume Mascara
Â
Does the exact same thing as the Exxager-eyes mascara from Charlotte Tillbury for $20 less. I really like this mascara. 7/10
Lash Like A Boss Instant Volume & Length Mascara Ultra ...
Â
A wonderful affordable curling mascara. The hye is WORTH IT. Hard to believe it's only $6.99
lash princess curl mascara – essence makeup
Â
Delivers a gentle cat eye look. Great price too. 7.5/10
Wonder'Volume Thrill Seeker Mascara | Rimmel London
Â
Delivers length and gentle volume, and doesn’t flake or smudge on skin. (7.5/10)
Activist Volume & Curling Mascara For Longer Lashes - Pacifica
Lip Gloss/Lip Oil
Â
very thin formula, which for some is a bonus. Worth the $7
Oh My Gloss! Lip Gloss | Rimmel London
Â
does't stay on for long, but the colours are SOOOO summer coded. 8/10
Clean Fresh Yummy Gloss | COVERGIRL®
Â
the clear shade is the best clear clip gloss I've tried. for only $4. 9/10.
essence extreme shine lip gloss
Â
I don't know if it's the shade I bought, but I do'nt like the applicator very much, its hard and barely glides on the lips. The shade I chose is quite scattered and has little pigment 6/10

very good for the price. stays on for a long time 6.5/10
