one of my skincare staples since I was 16. as someone with deep and discolored inherited eye bags, this is one of the only things that keeps me from looking half-asleep wherever I go!
$5 e.l.f. Holy Hydration! Undereye Cream
if you’re an artsy graphic liner person, Makeup A Murder is 100% the place to go. their pigments are water activated but have pretty insane staying power when paired with a good setting spray, and have a beautiful variety of shades for any look you w...

If you’re like me and love a slight unconventionality to your makeup looks, a product like this is right up your alley. This colored mascara has the closest staying power / non-clumpy formula I’ve found that compares with a standard black, but it com...

utterly adorable packaging, delicious scents / flavors and game-changing moisturization results. my holy grail of lip balms for 3 years.

$7 Maybelline Cheek Heat® Blush
cheap concealer that doesn’t feel cakey or clog pores but has incredible staying power, especially when paired with any e.l.f. setting spray!
$8 e.l.f. Hydrating Camo Concealer

$9 Clean & Clear Acne Spot Treatment
these are the best Starface dupe I’ve found, and they come in a GIGANTIC pack that lasts me anywhere between 1 and 3 months!
$9 LivaClean Star Pimple Patches
