As much as I love testing out new makeup day to day, there are a few things in my daily routine that I absolutely cannot go about! Some of these products are almost new to me aka have been using for two-ish months while some I’ve been hooked on for the longest time. I’ll be sharing a few items that have worked positively for me but do remember, my needs may be different from yours so what works best for me may not always be something you might enjoy.

Let’s jump right in!
IT Cosmetics Brow Pencil in Universal Taupe
This is hands down my most used brow pencils – it’s the perfect shade and formula and never lets me down! I find it so easy to do my brows with this!
ZAPZYT Acne Wash Cleanser
My latest go to cleanser when I have breakouts – this cleanser really removes all the impurities from my skin and it is so affordable!
Pur Cosmetics Fully Charged Mascara
I almost never spend more than $10 on a mascara unless it’s this or Urban Decay’s Perversion Mascara. What I LOVE about this one is that it lengthens my lashes like no other for perfect everyday looks!
Clarisonic Foundation Brush Head
This brush head has been so hyped up and I finally gave it a shot about a month ago. Since then, I have not used anything else to apply my foundation + do cream contour! It’s quick and easy and the way it blends in a jiffy is the best thing for someone like me who needs to do everything possible to get makeup on in as little time as possible! #alwaysrunninglate
Urban Decay Optical Illusion
Besides the Benefit Porefessional, this is a go to primer for me. It instantly blurs pores and primes the face to apply foundation seamlessly! What I love about this one specifically is that it feels weightless and feels a tad bit more natural!
Urban Decay Kristen Leanne Day Dream Palette
I have been HOOKED on this palette the moment I bought it. It’s the perfect palette to travel with and the shade range is beyond stunning. Plus, the formula is top notch and it’s something I can use every single day! It’s actually ON SALE if you’re interested in purchasing it!
Marc Beauty Highliner in Black
There are only a handful of eyeliners I trust and this one is in the top 3 for sure! All I want in an eyeliner is for it to be intense in pigment and STAY PUT!
JD Glow Cosmetics Highlighters
If you’ve seen my Instagram stories lately, you know I’ve been in LOVE with these highlighters! They are ultra pigmented and long wearing – perfect for those why want an intense finish! One of my favorite shades is Pure Bliss!
MUFE Foundation Stick
I was actually sent this last year and the shade was way off (shade 177) BUT thankfully it was a great match to contour with! I’m not the biggest fan of cream contour but this foundation stick makes it so easy with its seamless blendability.
Lady Burgundy Matte Lip Creams
I have several posts dedicated to Lady Burgundy and even interviewed the founder! This lippies are SO beautiful and comfortable to wear. They’re also insanely long wearing without feeling super drying on the lips.
NYX Cosmetics Foundation Mixers
I talked about these on Instagram a couple weeks back! These are PERFECT for those who like me, aren’t the best with foundation matching. Also, if you’re not a fan of buying separate foundation shades for each season, these mixers will be your BFF! I have the shades deep and white and mix either of them in to darken or lighten my foundations to create a custom shade! They’re affordable and will last you a lifetime!
