Coverage
Elf Halo Glow
We have ALL heard about this product in the past few months, and let me tell you it’s AMAZING! I would’ve never thought I’d like this product as much as I do. Personally, coverage isn’t something I go for every day and this is a great substitute for me! Easy to use, looks amazing and reacts well with my other makeup products.

Elf Hydrating Camo Concealer
Elf POPPED OFF with this one! This concealer alone has made me drop all of my other concealers. The hydrating formula matches perfectly with my dry skin, especially during the winter weather. Try this out if you haven’t already!
Bronzer
Hourglass Bronzer
Let’s say you want a “sunkissed” bronze in literally a few seconds, this is it. Especially since it’s winter I have gotten pale. It’s pricey but WORTH it! I don’t use any other bronzer, this is my favorite one.
Here’s a link to a video where I’m wearing it!
Blush
Jouer Cosmetics Blush and Bloom Stick
My active readers know this has become by FAV blush ever! The Jouer Cosmetics Blush and Bloom Stick is the best base blush. I use this before applying my powder blush (listed below) and it locks everything in seamlessly.
One swipe is enough for your face it’s so pigmented, and looks very pretty! Long lasting, easy to use, and blends in seconds.

Physicians Formula Blush
Something about this blush has always caught my eye, and a few weeks ago I finally decided to purchase it! Ever since I tried it, I have been LOVING it! It’s a pigmented, natural blush that’s surprisingly high quality for how cheap it is.
I might have to purchase their bronzer too since I love this so much!
Here is a video link of me applying this duo!! It looks soo good ✨
Highlighter
Covergirl Cooling Glow Stick
Normally, I’m not too fond of highlighters but this is actually super good! I really love the natural bronzy glow it gives me, plus it feels super cool when you apply it. Here’s a link to a video of me applying it
Eyeshadow
Jouer Cosmetics Eyeshadow Stick
Another great product by this brand! Are you sick of eyeshadow fallout?! Let me tell you this is an amazing replacement. Especially when I’m in a rush in the mornings, a few swipes and my eyeshadow is done!
It has this beautiful finish that lasts all day, “serene” has been my go-to shade recently.
FENTY BEAUTY HOW MANY CARATS?!
This is such a pretty eyeshadow for the winter months! It’s a transparent shimmery silver eyeshadow that looks beautiful once applied and pairs great over any colored eyeshadow.
I apply some concealer followed by this on top and it looks super good! Here’s my in-depth tutorial to this look for more✨
Mascara
Al’iver Long Curl Mascara
They actually gifted me this a few months ago, and I loved it! When I was going through my makeup drawers I found it and re-fell in love with it. This works as a great base mascara, and I almost think of it as “glue” since it holds my lashes up so well.
Lash Princess Curl And Volume Mascara
This is the mascara I go in with after applying the mascara above! Lash Princess popped off with this one, I’ve tried them all and this one has continued to be my favorite.
Lips
Elf Cosmetics Lip Stick
ANOTHER Elf Cosmetics Fav! This is something I recently started using this month, and have been shocked by how well this lipstick works. The unique thing about this lipstick is how even after hours it’ll be there, so much so that I’d compare this to a lip stain!
Buxom Lip Balm
This has been my FAV for about 3 years, and let me tell you this is the best! Especially if you want to have a natural look. It’s such a pigmented lip balm too, and the cool thing about it is that it changes colors to adjust to the PH of your lips resulting in your best lip shade.
Milani Gloss
A Fenty Beauty dupe! Milani’s glosses are surprisingly underrated and deserves way more attention. I love to pair this with the Buxom Lip Balm, it looks lovely.
Powders
Kosas Powder
This is PERFECT for my forehead! I have super dry skin, but my forehead gets very oily. This powder prevents oil and shine from my skin very well.
Elf Cosmetics HD Powder
I LOVE this powder, oh my gosh! It’s very brightening, and perfect for my under eyes. I look like a whole different person (especially in the mornings!) If you’ve been into the “I’m Cold” Makeup Look this is a product to incorporate.

Setting Spray
Elf Dewy Setting Mist
This past month I’ve been using this as I go through my makeup routine and it’s perfect for my dry skin. My skin gets so dry by the time I’m on blush. I apply this right before and it gives my skin the quick hydration boost it needs! Here’s the link to my complete blog post about this.
