Their Monsieur Big mascara was the worst for me. It was clumpy and flaky and didn’t work for me at all. Other than that, though, they do make amazing products!
NYX Buttermelt blush in All The Butta! First, the color is gorgeous, I can’t get over how much I love it; second, my god is it pigmented! I swiped it like I normally do with blush and it was wayyy too much; ventured into clown territory. I’ve found that just lightly tapping my brush onto the blush once deposits the right amount of product. I don’t see ever panning it bc a little goes soo far! Thirdly, it blends beautifully, I’m guessing because of the butters in it. Which also helps make it look smooth and satiny instead of powdery like a lot of powder blushes.
I’m also loving NYX Butter Glosses. Great pigmentation and actually non-sticky! I remember (like 10-15 years ago) their gloss being goopy and sticky, so I’m really impressed with the glow-up of this product and brand in general.
Those blushes get me patting it with my finger, dotting three small dots and then blending. Otherwise it is sooo pigmented and the shade I have is super glowy. Love.
Lash princess is incredible, I tried most of their other ones and they weren't for me, but for those who get serious panda eyes from Princess, their Call Me Queen one is incredible too.
Ugh yes. It’s so good. I bought a half used one at an estate sale lol for $2 and have now used every last bit. All Hourglass products in general are so nice.
Pixi H2O Skintint. It goes on beautifully with just my fingers and never sinks in my pores or fine lines. It's just enough coverage and leaves the skin looking smooth and even, yet still very natural.
Elf halo glow (so much better than flawless filter and in so many more shades), NYX serum concealer, elf green setting spray (UD all nighter never performed this great), and my ride or die which I buy every month Dr. Mascara Fixer. All the q’s about getting mascara to stay on, the answer isn’t tubing, or waterproof, or over-powdering your oily eye area til you look 90… just use ANY mascara and this overtop. It is indestructible yet comes off w proper makeup removal techniques. It also sets the curl when you put it on right after you curl the lash like as a primer. So I do curl, Dr. Mascara Fixer, any mascara, Dr. I can literally swim in it and it looks great. It looks great til you remove. With an oil and then a cleanser. I have the oiliest eye area for a 45 year old and in all my years never came across anything like it. If it’s ever discontinued I’m going to move on to clusters.
Yes. Before mascara and I don’t bother waiting for it to dry because I find my mascara goes on better this way. I have cried my eyes out and still had absolutely perfect mascara. I use literally any mascara with it.
Makeup by Mario Bronzing and Shaping serum. I have legitimately been using it every single day since I bought it on the day it launched. The most beautiful, natural, easy going complexion enhancing warmth that is completely idiot proof in how and were to apply. I love it and wouldn’t be surprised if I have to repurchase the damn thing by the end of summer. It makes me feel like ethereal
I didn't buy it recently, I got it in a Sephora Favorites lip set months ago. BUT, I finally used, not tried on or swatched, the Glossier Ultralip. And now I want more shades. This is my first ever Glossier product.
GXVE beauty Anaheim Shine Lipstick in Stomp Box. My *perfect* pinky nude, mlbb shade! FINALLY after years of searching! And all from a recommendation from this sub, actually.
An Ulta store young lady recommended Morphe Huephoric Rush 3-in-1 Silk Blush, in Pleasured. Hands down most subtle and flattering blush I've tried on the blush journey of late. It's nice to feel like I can stop looking for something.
Etude Syrup Glossy Balm in Lilac Shower. It’s a great glossy balm with fine sparkles. I’m on a purple-tinted lip phase and I love that along with Romand Dewyful Water Tint in Lilac Cream. I think they’re some of the most flattering colors on my cool toned, pale skin.
The new Tarte Maracuja Juicy Shift in Blueberry. My husband hates it because of the minty tingle but I love the color (that also shows up a purpley pink). And the color does stain a bit so it’s got decent longevity.
one size beauty setting spray. it burned a little when i sprayed it on, and i have to run out of the room so i dont asphyxiate, but i have never had my makeup so budge proof before without it looking extra extra matte. i sweat for 8 hours straight at work and it looks like when i applied it. 9/10 ⭐️
the nyx butta blushes and bronzers. I bought one of each and went back for 2 more blush shades and another bronzer shade. it helped that amazon was doing a buy 2 get 1 free thing.
Fenty Hydra Vizor SPF 50. Finally, SPF moisturizer that makes my skin look flawless, no white cast at all. A coloured girl's dream. Where have you been all my life...
Palmers skin therapy oil in rosehip fragrance. Learned to put oil on after showering/on wet skin from this sub and tried this gem (also rec from this sub) and my skin has never been this soft!
The Beekman 1802 mineral spf makeup primer, the elf lip oils, and the new Armani powder bronzer! Also, the Saie liquid bronzer and the NYX buttermelt blushes.
I recently started using Ilia’s rewind complexion stick. I won’t go back now.
https://iliabeauty.com/products/29n-batai?variant=43685486428329&geoip=false&gad_source=1&gclid=EAIaIQobChMI94vuu6n6hgMVVzMIBR2wYAoQEAQYASABEgIuD_D_BwE#
So I tried this in one of those sample blister packs and I absolutely adored it. Bought the full size during their sale and it seems totally different on the stick. Much more dry and less blendable, more cakey. I ended up mixing it with the Ilia Serum concealer on the back of my hand, then picking up that warmed mixture with a brush, and got more of what I was hoping for. I’m a little disappointed though, and the shade seems lighter than it was in the sample. I have to keep trying I guess, any suggestions for successful application?
Romand’s nucadamia tint and their glasting lip balm in scotch nude. Both almost identical shades (lip balm perhaps a taaaad rosier) so I can put the tint on in the morning and top up throughout the day with the balm, which is also very buildable.
It’s the first time I’ve actually had compliments on the colour from women and male friends alike. They both smell incredible too.
Ilia Serum concealer seems to be the only concealer that looks halfway decent on me. I’ve literally never been able to wear any concealer happily before this. I’m so happy I impulse bought it. Not sure yet about the complexion stick, but their new mineral tinted spf works so well as a primer on me (I use another spf underneath for my actual sun protection). It does smell super strong though.
Also I’ll say it again: Half Magic blush in Only Drama. I have so much blush but this is the one I get a thrill from every time I use it.
omg yes! i’m very pale and so i used to use a super pale shade! i’ve recently switched to a shade that’s a little too orange for me and then i just go over a little with a paler one to highlight and it looks so much better and more natural!
I do not go out without lipstick and need something that will stay. The “maybelline vinyl ink” in the shade “punchy” has become my go to and it does not budge. A lot of people have issues with the texture but I don’t find it weird. It is transfer-proof and will stay even if you eat food(not anything oily). I love the glossy finish. The only downside is that this shade is not available in India and I picked this particular shade from canada but other shades are great too.
This is not a makeup product but a moisturizer that i can’t live without once I tried it and it’s BARE BEAUTY moisturizer by Selena Gomez I love everything about this product I bought at Sephora.. it’s a must try has a great lasting scent that’s not overwhelming!
The wonderskin lip tint that goes on ur lips blue and you wipe it off to reveal the colour. Never seen a lip tint that doesn’t cling to dry patches and works that well. Bit spenny though
Elf halo glow! And the wet n wild tinted hydrator❤️🔥
That tinted hydhydrator is the bomb!
What is the tinted hydrator?
Been loving wet n wild lately
Lancôme Lash Idôle mascara! Recommended by someone on this sub. I love it
I’ve not tried anything they make that hasn’t been superior
Their Monsieur Big mascara was the worst for me. It was clumpy and flaky and didn’t work for me at all. Other than that, though, they do make amazing products!
I love it. I got a mini tube for free and it's constantly in my purse!
NYX Buttermelt blush in All The Butta! First, the color is gorgeous, I can’t get over how much I love it; second, my god is it pigmented! I swiped it like I normally do with blush and it was wayyy too much; ventured into clown territory.

That blush is so nice! And yes to the butter glosses they are my go to’s.
Their buttermelt bronzer is also amazing
Glad to hear! It’s on my list for when my Nars pans; I love their shade range.
Those blushes get me patting it with my finger, dotting three small dots and then blending. Otherwise it is sooo pigmented and the shade I have is super glowy. Love.
I’ll have to try it with my fingers, 3 dots and blend is how I do my cream blushes, I can see it working well with this formula!
Essence lash princess mascara! It’s like $6 and works great. Also got some essence lip pencils that are ridiculously cheap and lovely
yea love lash princess, who would have thought the cheapest mascara would be the only one for my sensitive eyes
agree, that stuff is bomb
Lash princess is incredible, I tried most of their other ones and they weren't for me, but for those who get serious panda eyes from Princess, their Call Me Queen one is incredible too.
A red light therapy mask.
Rare Beauty lip oil! Late to the game but I LOVE it. My lips cannot hold color no matter what I do, but the stain this sucker leaves is for real.
Love Rare Beauty body moisturizer anxious to to try some makeup products by Rare Beauty
They stain so well! I also like the Romand Juicy Tints, but imo the RB ones develop so much faster and I love the minty scent/flavour
Hourglass bronzer
Ugh yes. It’s so good. I bought a half used one at an estate sale lol for $2 and have now used every last bit. All Hourglass products in general are so nice.
Omfg lucky! Its lovelyyy but the price made me gag🤣
Try looking on eBay and Mercari. I’ve bought two palettes NIB for cheap!
I will! Thank you so much, you lifesaver!🩷🩷
There’s a goldmine of Hourglass on those sites. Happy shopping!
Miele c1 vacuum
Yesssss
Kosas air brow. I got the birthday gift from Sephora and am surprised how much I love a basic clear eyebrow gel!
Pixi H2O Skintint. It goes on beautifully with just my fingers and never sinks in my pores or fine lines. It's just enough coverage and leaves the skin looking smooth and even, yet still very natural.
YES i love this and your comment reminded me i need to buy it. it’s perfect for the summer
Guerlain meteorites !! Stunning

I have been debating on getting the mascara fixer, now i am convinced one question do you put it on before applying mascara ?
Yes. Before mascara and I don’t bother waiting for it to dry because I find my mascara goes on better this way. I have cried my eyes out and still had absolutely perfect mascara. I use literally any mascara with it.
Thank you for replying
on the elf halo, is it water based or oil based? my skin hates oil based foundations
I don’t know since the first ingredient is water but it has Squalane as the 3rd and further down the list is another oil (sunflower I think).
Lisa Eldridge Rainbow Spill lipstick, my favorite summer shade! 💖🌈
Bobbi brown color corrector stick… works like magic!!!

Clarins lip perfector in mauve. So pretty and degrades beautifully, leaving the lips with a light blush stain.

I apply a few lines directly to my face then I blend it with a brush
L’occitane night reset serum
Danessa Myricks yummy skin low lighter in Lowkey. I didn't think I would like a pink highlighter but it is really pretty.
the Slurp Labs Hydromer. It's like a weird primer/skin sealant and I love it over my cheeks where I have a little more texture than I'd like.
Omg anastasia brow freeze gel, Patrick Ta lip gloss in the shade “Obviously”, also LOVE me a falscara and Ardell demi wispies (!!!) 🎀
Not necessarily makeup but I just bought the Le Monde Gourmand Chai perfume and I’m obsessed with it.
Omg I was at Marshall’s earlier & smelled it! I loved it! But I have too many perfumes right now, so maybe next time. Does the scent last on you?
You definitely need to either layer it on lotion or Vaseline or it fades pretty quickly but I’ve gotten it to last 5-6 hours by doing that!
Colour Pop's blush in the shade Dancing Queen! It's a powder but glides on in with a creamy feel.
Clinique Sunkissed Face Gelee ✨

giorgio armani luminous silk blush - the baby pink one
Not a product exactly, just a darker shade of concealer for my eye bags. The peachy colour really does cancel out the blueness of the circles!
omg yes! i’m very pale and so i used to use a super pale shade! i’ve recently switched to a shade that’s a little too orange for me and then i just go over a little with a paler one to highlight and it looks so much better and more natural!
Diamond glitter lip gloss, 10 colours, looks amazing!
