I’m very sensitive to mascara and this is one of the few that doesn’t make my eyes hurt when I wear it all day!

I’ve tried a few different brow gels of this style and this is one of my favorites when I have the money to splurge a bit!

For a more budget friendly version, the Elf Brow Wow is a great option!

I’ve avoided anything close to foundation for years because it never blended right in my skin. This is so easy to use and looks stunning on!

This is the perfect “my lip color but better.” I’m not a big lipstick or lip stain person, but I’m trying to get more into them. This feels lightweight and easy to wear. It doesn’t last as long as I would like, but it’s very easy to reapply.
Glossy Lip Stain

I switch cleansing oils and balms more often than my other skincare, because I am still looking for the perfect one. This one is enough for me since I don’t wear a lot of makeup, but it has trouble with a full face of makeup.

Great color payoff without being overwhelmingly bright. Blends out really well and lasts a long time.

If I’m not wearing makeup, I can just use this, a treatment, and then my moisturizer and I’m done.

I use this every other night unless my skin is being sensitive. Then I’ll do every 3-4 or stop for a week.

I use this every night and it does a great job of keeping my skin from getting dehydrated. In the winter, I’ll add aquaphor to my dryer spots if needed.

This is a newer addition to my skincare routine, but I’m already seeing the benefits! It’s helped a lot with the redness around my nose and my breakouts seem to heal faster.

If they ever discontinue this, I’ll riot. It smells so good that I got the matching deodorant and am considering getting the matching lotion when I run out of the Cerave. It makes my skin so soft and it’s such a relaxing shower experience.

I’m a uh sweaty person, but I also get rashes from a lot of deodorant. This is good for days when I know I’ll be inside and not doing too much. It feels nourishing and never makes me itchy.

I hate body lotion. It makes me feel greasy and I don’t like that at all. This one doesn’t though! I still hate putting it on, but once it soaks in, it’s better than all the others I’ve used. If you have ideas for someone who hates body moisturizer,...
