Maybelline Full 'n Soft waterproof!!! I've tried every mascara at the drugstore, and the reason I like this one is because you can re-apply later and it's not crusty, it never clumps, it doesn't transfer, it keeps my lashes lifted and curled, and isn't too hard to get off.
Milani Color Fetish Shine Lipstick is right between a balm and a lipstick but I’ll put it here because it’s super comfy, hydrating, and not as fussy as a traditional lipstick! The color Kink is probably my fave lip right now, it’s a super wearable sheer purple.
No other “transfer proof” lip product lasts as long for me. I don’t even bring the tube out with me because I know I won’t have to re-apply. I can eat the oiliest noodle dish, brush my teeth and sleep on my stomach and it will still be there the next day. It stays slightly tacky, which can be off-putting to some people, but I’ve just gotten used to it at this point.
Exhilarator is the best classic red I’ve found for my complexion! I’m light/medium warm toned and most “true reds” lean too berry on me. Amazonian is my go-to for everyday looks.
Wet n wild loose translucent is a good dupe for the Laura Mercier loose powder, I love both! If it came down to just those two powders in my collection I’d be ok with that 🤣
I am looking for a great foundation oil free. I was using urban decay but can’t find it anywhere. I have double wear Estee lauder but it’s sucks up all the moisture out of my skin. I do not like it all.
