I tried these viral-but-pricey makeup and skin products so you don’t have to, and they’re worth every penny.
I’ve only tried the white rice formula so far because I have sensitive skin, but ever since seeing what it can do I can’t go a day without it. No matter how clogged my pores feel, a few swipes of this product over problem areas will draw out sooooo m...
Dr.Melaxin Peel Shot
this brand has an iconic PowerMatch quiz that gets you your perfect foundation shade in just 90 seconds and sends you a FULL SIZE BOTTLE to try risk-free for 30 days before you pay. the shade I use literally disappears into my skin when I blend it, a...
IL MAKIAGE Woke Up Like This Foundation
a stunning and pearly set of highlighters with a warm and neutral finish, respectively, that are an AWESOME price in terms of bang for your buck. there’s nobody I trust more for a face beat than a drag queen.

r.e.m. beauty “fembot” Liquid Eyeshadow

SushyGlow Bloody Lip Tint
one of the best lip gloss formulas I’ve ever seen. so shiny and soft, feels more like skincare than makeup, but makes lips practically reflective. plus the packaging is absolutely darling.
Sushyglow Lon Lon Milk Lip Gloss
I promise I like this mascara for more than its name — my lashes are thin and wispy, and these always give me such dramatic volume and lift without ever clumping or making me look like a spider.
Tarte Maneater Mascara
nothing shrinks my zits and pimples as quickly and effectively as these things! just slap one on for 2-8 hours and watch the magic happen!
