I’ve use all of these products for yearrrrs. I have oily, acne prone skin and none of these items make me breakout which is a freakin miracle 🤣
If you have oily skin I would 10/10 recommend the Laura Mercier Translucent Powder! This powder was a total game changer for me and it leaves your skin looking so soft!
1) Fenty Beauty Pro Filt’r Instant Retouch Primer
A girl at Sephora recommended this primer for oily skin and I’ve been using it daily for the past few years. It’s kinda pricy but it lasts quite a while because you only need one pump for your whole face! A quick tip: if you think your bottle is almost out, tap the bottom of the container on a hard surface every time before using it and you can make it last you another month!
I’ve tried so many concealers over the years and none compare to this cult favorite. I’m in shade light sand. It pairs nicely for an under eye highlight with shade W4 in True Match foundation.
3) Loreal True Match Foundation
This has been my go to for like 8 years haha it pairs really well with the Laura Mercier powder, it’s cheap and you can find it at almost any drugstore. It comes in cool, neutral and warm tones. I’m in shade W4 when I’m tan but I like to mix W2.5 and W4 together when I’m a little more pasty.
4) Laura Mercier Translucent Powder
Like I said…this gem is worth every penny I promise you! The ultimate oily skin cure. I use mine to set my whole face after applying foundation and concealer.
5) Revlon ColorStay Skinny Liquid Liner
This a perfect mix between a traditional brush tip liquid liner and a felt tip and its good for masking your false lash line. This is my favorite liner and if you love yourself a good winged look, you’ll love this stuff!
6) Rimmel Scandaleyes Waterproof Kohl Kajal Eyeliner
A great waterproof eyeliner for your waterline.
A color-free lipstick base that adds light moisture, smoothes and refines lips. This stuff makes your lipstick stay on longer and helps keep your lips from drying out as much during the day. I use it over the top of a super light layer of chapstick, and wait for the primer to set for a couple minutes before applying the rest of my lip products.
These lashes are WASHABLE and REUSABLE!!! Mine last for MONTHS and I wear them every single day! The band is a little thicker than drugstore lashes but that helps them last longer and you get used to it! My sister in law Natalie sells these and let me tell you…they are the bomb.com. I used drugstore “red cherry” brand lashes for years until I tried these and I’ll never go back. I’ve tried Miss, Joy, Ericka & Vivian and so far I like Joy the best. The Erickas are really pretty too for a more dramatic look. I very carefully pick yesterday’s glue off the band with my fingernails before applying new glue so the band doesn’t get thick and gunky.
I didn’t like this glue at first until I realized you just have to use alot more glue than I was used to using with another brand. After you get the hang of how much to use, you’ll love this stuff! Red Aspen also sells some really cute press on nails!
I loveeeeeeeee this stuff! If I forget to apply this before leaving the house, my eyebrows drive me insane lol. They get so wild and out of place and this is great for keepin them bad boys neat and tidy 🤣 I use it after filling in my brows. I always carefully wipe my brows off with a baby wipe before applying to get rid of any extra powder or foundation.
11) In Extreme Dimension 3D Black Lash Mascara
This is the best mascara for your lower lash line. It never gets gunky and it accentuates all the fine little hairs.
12 + 13) Anastasia Modern Renaissance Palette + Anastasia Soft Glam Palette
I used the Modern Renaissance Palette for a couple years before I finally ran out of the shade I use to fill in brows so I had to buy a new one. Except Sephora was having a killer deal before Christmas where if you bought one palette you got another for like $10! So I got the Soft Glam Palette too and its all I’ve used since Christmas. If you love matte + shimmery warm tones and rosy shades, you’ll love these. They’re so soft and easy to blend.

14) Aquaphor Lip Repair + Protect Broad Spectrum SPF 30
I have the dryest lips on the planet. Especially if I’m in public or around alot of people, I find myself licking my lips because they get dry… because I can’t stop licking them haha. I really love this stuff and you can even use it as a gloss over the top of lipsticks.
This is the only contour kit I’ve used aside from the drugstore e.l.f. brand. My first palette lasted for a couple years! The tins are refillable but kinda pricy so I just bought a new full palette cuz mine was lookin kinda rachety after banging around in my makeup bag for so long 😂
16) Real Techniques Miracle Complexion Sponge
These are a great dupe for the Beauty Blender Sponges. I wash mine with dish soap and olive oil and use the same one for a couple months.
17) St. Ives Soothing Body Lotion, Oatmeal and Shea Butter
This is great lightly sweet scented lotion. I use it on my eyes morning and night and on my body too! I use my clean and clear on the rest of my face. I love the scent and my husband uses it too so the scent isn’t too strong!
18) Clean & Clear Advantage Acne Control Oil-Free Face Moisturizer
I’ve used this exact lotion for over 10 years lol. The smell is kind of overpowering at first, but it fades fast and it helps fight breakouts. I use this morning and night after washing my face.
