Juvia’s Place does pigmentation RIGHT. 😍 The colors are rich, blend beautifully and actually show up the way you expect them to. Their palettes are also such a good value for the quality. Definitely one of my favorite eyeshadow brands. ✨

Naked3 is such a pretty everyday palette. πŸ’• I love the rosy neutrals because I can keep it soft and simple or build it up when I want a little more drama. One of those palettes that never really goes out of style. ✨

β€œI love a good cool-toned palette and this one gives me SO many options. 🀎🩢 Mattes, shimmers, everyday neutrals and darker shades when I want something more dramatic. This is basically an entire makeup drawer in one palette. πŸ˜‚βœ¨β€

One of my FAVORITES. πŸ–€ I love how this separates and lengthens my lashes without making them look like one giant clump. πŸ˜‚ It gives me that defined, dramatic lash look without being too much for everyday wear.

This one gives me those big, dramatic lashes. πŸ˜‚πŸ–€ I love it when I want more volume and a little extra drama instead of a super natural lash. There’s a reason this mascara has been around forever.

β€œThis shade is SO wearable. πŸ€Žβ˜• It’s that pretty brownish-pink nude that works when I want something polished without looking like I tried too hard. Also, the name CrΓ¨me in Your Coffee was basically designed to get my attention. πŸ˜‚β€

β€œThis is definitely one of the splurge-y lip products, but that nude shade is GORGEOUS. 🀎✨ It gives that polished neutral lip without overpowering the rest of my makeup. Sometimes the fancy lipstick wins. πŸ˜‚β€

Urban Decay really nailed the name with this one. πŸ˜‚πŸ–€ It glides on SO smoothly, gives me plenty of time to work with it, and then actually stays put. Definitely one of my favorite eyeliners.

My go-to when I want a sharp black wing. πŸ–€βœ¨ The tip makes it easy to control, the color is actually BLACK, and once it’s on it stays put. I’ve definitely paid more for eyeliner I liked less. πŸ˜‚
