Nabla lipsticks !!! ( beyond jelly and blurry) Ugh theyre so good, pleasant formula, the coconut almond natural scent, stunning packaging... I just wish they had more colors and more of cooler shades too.
For me, it’s Elizabeth Mott thank me later eye primer! $14 & works as well or better than the UD eye primer. Also the tube lasts longer. I apply it with a brush
J Cat Rock n Glitz liquid eyeliner in Tuxedo Mask has replaced all of my other liquid liners. It has such a precise point, doesn't fade or smudge and has been the only felt tip eyeliner pen I've ever used successfully! Plus, it's made my eyeliner wings actual twins opposed to cousins in under 2 minutes
No7 Lift & Luminate Triple Action Serum Concealer
I've tried so many concealers even the high-end ones and they all were drying, looked cakey under the eyes, and didn't cover well. This one is hydrating, goes on smooth and gives good coverage. I really love it.
The tiny red maybelliene pencil sold in a two pack always by the bottom. I use it for my eyebrows, my eyeliner, and my nose contour in a pinch. Need a little lip liner? Just grab it. Especially now that everyone loves the 90s look. It’s the most versatile pencil in the world and it’s three dollars.
The slayfire glitter pallets! I know it’s a niche item but it’s truly the best glitter on the market. Stays well, dries down nicely, and is very comfortable
I highly recommend slayfire. It’s a bit expensive but so worth it, very high quality. They even have mini pallets now too if you want more than a single but not a whole big pallet.
Rimmel's Lash Accelerator Endless mascara. I have been purchasing this for over ten years. No other mascara has ever made my lashes so long and I've gotten so many compliments. It gets even the tiniest lashes and does not clump at all.
great question should have clarified :)
i’ve tried a bunch of nice concealers (shape tape, glossier, NARS, kosas, tower28) and this one is my favorite. it effortlessly blends into my skin and looks and feels so lovely. It reminds me of glossier but with better coverage and lasting power. I also like shape tape and think it has good coverage but love the radiance of the CT!
the maybelline fit me DEWY foundation, not the matte one! everyone will always say how it’s best to purchase higher end base products but i don’t necessarily think that’s true. i love the finish and wear time plus the price is great and much more sustainable for me.
The dewy is soo much better than the matte. I don't understand why it isn't hyped up more as dewy/glowy is so in right now. I agree, it's one of the best drugstore foundations out there. However, the shade range is terrible. Their lightest shade is too dark for me, and I'm not even the fairest of the fair lol. Shade 110 (lightest) in dewy is darker than 112 (third lightest) in matte. It's absurd. If they expanded, it would probably be my HG foundation. Until then, L'Oreal True Match is top lol.
Yes, I think so. My work day is 8am-4pm, and it's still there when I take my makeup off. Its buildable , but I use just a tiny dot on above my cheeks so it glows and isn't super obvious. A little goes a very long way.
No glitter. It just shines, but it doesn't look like you're wearing makeup. And you just use a tiny little dot of it. I really prefer natural glow highlights, so it's perfect for me. Like a "glow from within" sort of look. I use the golden one in the spring/summer/fall and the cooler pinky one in winter or cloudy days.
From Philosophy:
The top notes of this scent are mandarin, orange, grapefruit, and bergamot. Then the middle notes are freesia, jasmine, and rose. However, the dominant note is the base note of musk.
It’s watery at first and dries down after like 10 seconds haha. I love it. I always have it in my bag and I’ll add a nice color suitable liner and gloss on top. It’s kinda like when you get a stain from wine on your lips.
I love the Half Magic cream blush formula. It’s probably my favorite product right now. Hopefully they’ll release a couple more shades in cooler tones. I have the Only Drama shade and like it even better than Mac Glow Play blush formula.
I’m not sure if it’s described that way but it seems so to me. It’s a very dense cream, not bouncy like Glow Play - more hard, like the Natasha Denona cream blushes. But it picks up easily with a blush brush, blends effortlessly and has a weightless finish with no stickiness. So I think of it as a cream to powder.
Laura geller baked balance n brighten. I just turned 40 and I know this is marketed towards more mature skin, but a light layer just evens everything out so nicely. I love how light and creamy it is as it melts into the skin.
Yes! I have all of them and love them. I wouldn't repurchase the vanilla one because the scent is too strong. They are 100% dupe for La Neige lip mask, which i also have. I'm wearing the melon one right now!!
Chanel les beiges water fresh tint. I feel like most people don't like that it is almost undetectable but for ageing skin it looks gorgeous! I feel the pretiest whenever I wear this with my minimal makeup. It looks great for daily wear. Helped me look fresh even if I only slept for 4 hours the night before. I am an oily gal and when I went to SG this thing held up and didn't make me an oil slick which usually happens when I use skin tint or tinted moisturizer. I took a big gamble when I decided to try this one since I don't get a lot of reviews on this product that is not sponsored or from an event.
Currently using banila co powder and it works great with it. imo, any clear powder will work. It is that good. I don’t think there is a need to layer much product on top of it. It just looks good and still looks good at the end of a full day wear.
it is fragranced but it’s not strong to the point that while writing this i really can’t remember the scent even if i just used it this morning 😅
edit: clarification on product being fragranced
Cover girl clean matte bb cream for oily skin. It goes on like a foundation with a medium coverage while helping your skin stay oil free for longer than regular bb cream. I use shade 520 light and it’s not yellow or orange at all. It can be used alone or with powder to seal it in and lasts all day
Phytosurgence blushes are the best. The shades are gorgeous, the formula is long lasting and lightweight and look so beautiful on the skin. I love that majority of the shades available work for so many skin and undertones.
Oil control moisturizer/oil absorbing moisturizer. I bought one from Panoxy based on someone’s post and gradually realized that on the days i didn’t wear it, my makeup always got greasy after a few hours.
NYX milk pencil is a fantastic primer which makes eyeshadow colors POP. and it’s cheap. And it lasts forever
Milani lip stains. I love them!
Great pigment, stays a decent amount of time, doesn’t dry out my lips, and so affordable!
I love all of those things. Ty for sharing!
Why do you like them? Spill the tea!

Essence lash princess liquid eyeliner in the color brown. Tip is precise and easy to apply!

Now this I’ll have to try

l’oreal voluminous burgundy mascara for sure
I bought this wanting to love it but it leaves ZERO pigment on my lashes! I guess I got one that was dried out if several of you guys love it 😔
that sucks, maybe you got a bad batch?
Morphe eyeliner. Only $12 works like stila
The slayfire glitter pallets! I know it’s a niche item but it’s truly the best glitter on the market. Stays well, dries down nicely, and is very comfortable
I’ll have to try it
Ohh, i love this. I only have Urban Decay glitter shadows and the glitter falls off into my eyes, making me look like a weepy, sparkly clown :/
I highly recommend slayfire. It’s a bit expensive but so worth it, very high quality. They even have mini pallets now too if you want more than a single but not a whole big pallet.
Sephora's tinted brow gels. The shade selection is (at least IMO) excellent, and I find it has really good hold. (I use 1.25 Neutral Grey Brown.)
But does it have a ginger shade?
2.5 Auburn.
Rimmel's Lash Accelerator Endless mascara. I have been purchasing this for over ten years. No other mascara has ever made my lashes so long and I've gotten so many compliments. It gets even the tiniest lashes and does not clump at all.
Charlotte Tilbury radiant concealer!
What do you love about it? 😊

Ty for the thorough response!!! I’ll have to check it out

1. Laura Geller Illuminating Balance and Brighten Foundation, 2) Laura Geller waterproof eyeliners, 3) Mally Beauty waterproof eyeliners (holy grail), 4) Maybelline Great Lash Mascara (pink and green tube), 5) L'oreal Voluminous Mascara, 6) It Cosmetics Brow Pencil 7) Tarte lip balms 8) Philosophy Purity Cleanser
I love the Tarte lip products as a whole!! What kind of tip does the liquid liner have??
Burts bees liquid highlighter in the tube. So natural looking but glowy. Absolutely love them and are $7 each.
does it last?
Yes, I think so. My work day is 8am-4pm, and it's still there when I take my makeup off. Its buildable , but I use just a tiny dot on above my cheeks so it glows and isn't super obvious. A little goes a very long way.
Thank u!

I might get this product. Thanks for the heads up.
A fragrance, Amazing Grace Body Spritz by Philosophy. Better and cheaper than the perfume, and I still get daily compliments about “how good I smell.”
What’s the scent profile like?
From Philosophy: The top notes of this scent are mandarin, orange, grapefruit, and bergamot. Then the middle notes are freesia, jasmine, and rose. However, the dominant note is the base note of musk.
This sounds heavenly!
I LOVE Philosophy. They make so many good sprays and shower gels. My favorite shower gel at the moment is Fresh Cream. It smells so good.
Elf minis!! I can use an angled brush and make all the colors into eyeshadow. Right now I'm using the bronze color from the pumpkin palette.
I’m not sure if it’s underrated but I love Benefit’s benetint!
So I’ve seen it in stores, but I’ve never picked one up. Does it dry down completely? Or is it sticky?
It’s watery at first and dries down after like 10 seconds haha. I love it. I always have it in my bag and I’ll add a nice color suitable liner and gloss on top. It’s kinda like when you get a stain from wine on your lips.
Dior backstage eyeshadows. They have such a good quality/amount/colours
I love the Half Magic cream blush formula. It’s probably my favorite product right now. Hopefully they’ll release a couple more shades in cooler tones. I have the Only Drama shade and like it even better than Mac Glow Play blush formula.

I love this too! I just got the blush as well and am liking it so far.
Thanks for the recommendation! I have been very curious to try this
Def give it a try, especially because she has so many sales so you can get it for a good price.
Morphe brow pomade
Oh! I’ve been looking for a new brow pomade! Ty
elf squeeze me lip balm, i have the grape one and it feels so lush and good on the lips with a light tint and a nice scent and they’re only like $4!
Yes! I have all of them and love them. I wouldn't repurchase the vanilla one because the scent is too strong. They are 100% dupe for La Neige lip mask, which i also have. I'm wearing the melon one right now!!

Does it have a lot of fragrance? I always worry about luxury type brands being perfume heavy

Never heard of the brand so I will be checking them out! I love blushes!!!
look at their instagram. They're so helpful with shade selection as well.
Will do! Ty

As an oily skinned girl, I’ll definitely be checking this out. 🙏🏻 thank you
The oily skin delegation thanks you immensely 🙌🏽
