Make up
A little goes a long way. You can keep it at sun kissed or build it up to your liking.
Highly pigmented, used best with a dense brush as it helps to blend easily compared to fingers or beauty blender.
I went on a date and used it on my lips too c...
Affordable and such a good blush! The color is natural and gives me a glow. Not patchy. I layer it with my rare beauty liquid blush and it’s amazing!
Baked Blush - Luminoso
I’ve been using it for the past 10 years I kid you not. It’s classic. It’s buildable-and that doesn’t mean it’s not pigmented! It is! But on days I’m not doing a full glam, I just do a light tap and it gives me this effortless glow and it’s beautiful...
Highlight & Glow
For long lasting make up, this is a good one. Doesn’t leave your skin dry or oily.
Hydro Grip Hydrating Face Primer
Talk about a glowing and hydrated blush. The shade rose crush is beautiful and sultry with a youthful glow to it. Love it so much!
Soft Pop Plumping Blush Veil
Buildable coverage, which I love. You can have a more natural look or full on glam. Affordable, and they have a good range of shades so I have both my winter and summer shade in this.
Conceal + Perfect 2-In-1 Foundation and Concealer
I’m Asian, so I hope it helps for me to say that this lengthens my lashes and works really well with staying on and not smudging like crazy. Because very few mascaras work for Asian eyes ;)
Volum' Express® The Colossal® Washable Mascara
Skincare
Makes my skin smooth like butter, and I smell luxurious. My fiancé loves it too whenever I use this lotion.
Shea Better Vanilla Cashmere Body Lotion ...
Holy grail item! I’ve tried Vaseline, Carmax, elf, aquaphor, you name it. You know when you put on chap stick and after 30min or so you have that white lining? That’s dead skin cells, that means you need to exfoliate. Well exfoliated lips or not, thi...
Palmer's Cocoa Butter Formula Swivel Stick
Gentle exfoliation and toner. When I feel my pores are clogged and my skin is irritated or red, I soak a couple circle cottons with this and leave them on my face for 5-10 mins during my night routine. The next morning my skin is always is less textu...
Kale-Lalu-yAHA: 5.25% Glycolic Acid Treatment
It definitely tightens and lifts, I noticed it after a week. Very effective especially if you’re consistent. I don’t know if it’s recommended but I also tried this on my chest for a couple days and noticed it was more sculpted and lifted.
MAËLYS B-TIGHT Leave-On Cellulite Mask
This stays in my shower and I use it every day as a double cleanser. Or if you don’t double cleanse, this will do the job regardless. It takes off my make up and somehow takes away my dullness. After this cleanser my face doesn’t feel dry but actuall...
The Cult Classic
This is a miracle worker, after a good face cleansing and toner, I use this and go to sleep. Every time, I wake up with my skin glowing, soft and plump! I use the night before special days and events because I know it gets the job done every single t...
medicube Collagen Jelly Cream Niacinamide
I’ve tried many different brands, not only are these ones cute, they actually, actually work! And it’s fast! Good grip, absorbs very well, and 1 pack lasts me a long time.
Catne Pimple Patches
I like this one a lot. It’s a gentle cleanser and it doesn’t irritate my acne prone skin. I use it every day
Foaming Facial Cleanser for Normal to Oily Skin
I was reluctant at first, but it actually works very good after my cleansing routine. I use it to seal and protect. It doesn’t clog the pores, my skin is smoother and less textured.
Salicylic Acid Lotion for Rough & Bumpy Skin | Moisturizers
Best rec. I’ve received from a stranger with glass skin. It is strong so a little goes a long way. It’s helped me in emergencies, and especially with stubborn zits/pimples. Put some good moisturizer on after and you’re solid. And super affordable!
Max. Strength Acne Medication - 1oz - up&up
I understand they say your pores can never go back to how they were. But… wait til you try this! I have extremely large pores, it’s my fault for always picking at them growing up. But trust me y’all, this product minimizes the appearance of it like c...
medicube Toner Pads Zero Pore Pad 2.0
Scents
So here’s a hidden gem that I’m finally sharing. It’s smells feminine, mature, and sexy. I get compliments EVERY TIME. And asked where to get it. I won’t gate-keep anymore.
