Makeup Items to Slay Your 20's

Lipstick emoji 20 items
My holy grail makeup items + items on my "to try" list. I love affordable, drugstore products but I also do love to splurge from time to time so this is a mix of both! I am also experimenting for my wedding coming up in 2024

I have been loving combination skincare and makeup, so I feel like I truly hit the jackpot when discovering this product. This skin-tint contains Hyaluronic Acid & Niacinamide which both help to bring moisture to the skin, reduce dullness, and ev...

I just snagged this at Sephora and I have to say I am really impressed. The moisturizer absolutely melted into my skin. I will say, the coverage is extremely light, but that is what I would expect from a tinted moisturizer. Based on this product I re...

This is the current contour stick that I am using. I find it blends really well compared to other contour I have tried. It is more pigmented then a contour powder but not too dark where it looks like a brown line on my face (I have fair skin).
