L'Oreal Paris HiP Studio Secrets Professional Color Truth Cream Eyeliner

Money-saving version of MAC Fluidline!

Very similar to the overpriced Fluidline from MAC. It goes on verrrrry smooth and doesn't smudge throughout the day. It makes it very easy to draw a perfect cat eye AND it's great for smudging to create a base for a smokey eye. I would recommend getting a better angled brush to use with this though.

Fresh Brown Sugar Body Polish

Perfect for exfoliationg before you self-tan!

This stuff leaves my skin feeling incredibly baby soft and smooth. I have sensitive skin so the natural ingredients are great yet gentle. It smells great and a little goes a long way. I still have plenty left after 6 months of using it

Benefit Coralista

Beautiful natual flush of color from this blush

I got this blush as part of a gift bag and I fell in love!!! I like it much better than the famous Nars blush in a similar shade. It looks great on my fair skin AND on my friends' tanned or darker skin. I love the shade and staying power. The blush has a pleasant scent.

Maybelline New York Mineral Power Natural Perfecting Liquid Foundation

Fresh dewy coverage, good for normal or dry skin, not recommended for oily skin

I love that it is in a squeeze bottle, which makes it SO much more faster to apply when I'm in a rush in the morning. Apply it with a foundation brush for more coverage, but a makeup sponge will usually leave you with light to medium coverage that looks natural, dewy, and healthy. It doesn't stay on the WHOLE day but it lasts long enough (~9 hours if powder is used to set it). I'm a fan of Makeup Forever's HD foundation, but it is TOO expensive, so this is my go-to foundation for everyday makeup. I have very sensitive normal-dry skin that gets easily irritated with some products but I haven't had any problems with this foundation. It doesn't make me breakout either.
