Most Loved Products

FACE

Blush

cream blush · dewy · $15.50
This to me this is like a brightening blush.
I don't know how to describe it other than it gives me cheekbones I don't have. It gives me this kind of like plush cheek look.▶ 13:40–13:47
It adds that brightness. It is again another one of those like secret weapon products in my routine when I feel like my entire makeup look looks flat. This a little bit just right on the cheeks and everything pops. Everything comes alive. I look more awake. Like my green eyes pop.▶ 13:47–13:57
blush · matte · $12.90
This is so cheap. Like, a lot of these products are insanely cheap. The fact that I can get this blush for five bucks just kind of it's insane to me.▶ 11:45–11:53
It just looks like such a nothing kind of shade, but it really warms up once you actually get it onto the skin to this really lovely soft peach.▶ 12:00–12:10
It has the blurring kind of formula that I wish for when I see formulas like this.▶ 12:14–12:23
lip and cheek tint · matte · $17.00–$20.00
I feel like the Fwee Pudding Pots are a mixture between the Nature Republic as well as the Lily by Red.▶ 15:08–15:18
It has the blurring quality of the Nature Republic product, like that kind of powdery feel, like obviously this is a putty, but it kind of goes down to this powdery smoothing look.▶ 15:21–15:28
Like the Lily by Red, that kind of smooth impact that it gives the cheeks, that kind of creaminess.▶ 15:38–15:44
It's my favorite K beauty blush that I've ever used.▶ 9:21–9:26
You guys know how much I love the Fwee Pudding Pots.▶ 9:23–9:35
This is a moussey lip and cheek product that gives you the most insanely beautiful blur on your skin.▶ 9:30–9:39
liquid blush · dewy · $8
They're essentially the same thing as the Rare Beauty liquid blushes.
When I say that these are actually a dupe, I mean that they are actually a dupe.▶ 14:15–14:20
They're just absolutely fantastic.▶ 14:18–14:24
I do think that the e.l.f. Cosmetics liquid camo blushes are maybe the best liquid blushes at the drugstore.▶ 7:09–7:21
There aren't a lot of liquid blushes that are going to give you that finish and that blend.▶ 7:18–7:25
The fact that this just blended on its own like this.▶ 7:35–7:44
blush · dewy · $28.00
I think that these are the most innovative formula.▶ 9:58–10:02
It's such an incredibly unique blush.▶ 10:13–10:20
If you have fair olive skin or in general you prefer these beiges, something a little desaturated has a little brown. It's just one of those all-in-one colors and it's fantastic.▶ 10:26–10:32
Copper Spice is essentially like a version of Toasted Teddy. It's a bronzer shade.▶ 12:11–12:21
This is pretty pigmented, so I'm not going to use like a ton of it.▶ 13:00–13:08
I will usually just use this alone as a blush bronzer hybrid if I'm going for that like sunflushed almost like that sunburnt kind of look.▶ 13:06–13:11

Bronzer

Concealer

concealer · $34.50
It is that perfect creamy hydrated under eye with a great amount of coverage that doesn't look dry, weird, cakey, and gives me the brightness that I need for my hollow under eyes, which so many concealers do not.▶ 10:32–10:41
That has been consistent through K beauty and Western beauty, you know, just over and over and over again. A lot of concealers do not work for me, but this is one where I would highly recommend.▶ 10:48–10:53
Just taking a small amount, putting it under the eyes if you just want kind of a no makeup makeup look. It's just a very fresh, pretty effect.▶ 11:00–11:07
It is like kind of my holy grail concealer as far as summer makeup.▶ 6:05–6:13
If you have like again like an upcoming event or anything like that, this duo is going to last.▶ 6:27–6:40
It's just not going to look thick and heavy under the eyes, but it's going to add moisture.▶ 6:36–6:46
It's really good for combination skin.▶ 15:39–15:43
It works really well as like a concealer foundation hybrid.▶ 15:44–15:52

Eyeshadow

Foundation

foundation · dewy · $118.00
If you enjoy really beautiful skinlike makeup that you can layer and layer and layer and keep getting really lovely coverage without it looking like makeup, this is pretty ideal.▶ 0:48–0:58
I have spent a pretty penny on this product and I have never regretted it.▶ 1:11–1:19
This looks like skin in real life, and that's why I always go back and recommend it.▶ 1:32–1:36
For me personally, it is the perfect foundation for those of you that want to photograph exceptionally well, but you want to look naturally airbrushed in person.▶ 2:34–2:45
I have called it like it's the perfect wedding day foundation in my opinion for those of you with for dry skin types, normal skin types.▶ 2:54–3:00
I have bought this foundation for probably a decade now.▶ 3:18–3:24
BB cream · dewy · $14.90–$19.00
I'm still going to give it to the Missha Perfect Cover BB cream.▶ 8:35–8:41
I always keep a bunch on hand.▶ 8:46–8:51
It gives me this true creamy soft focused hydrated look.▶ 9:09–9:23
My all-time favorite is the Missha Perfect Cover BB Cream.▶ 4:15–4:21
This is essentially the most beautiful medium coverage, hydrating, blurring foundation.▶ 4:17–4:28
Not only will it wear beautifully, it will just compliment my skin.▶ 4:30–4:36
The Missha perfect cover BB cream just gives you this immediate true brightened look.▶ 6:43–6:49
It gives you this flawless blur but illuminosity.▶ 6:49–6:53
It will give you quite a bit of coverage very quickly.▶ 6:57–7:06
This beats so many like $50 plus foundations that are in my collection right now better than like the new reformulated luminous silk from Armani.▶ 0:43–0:54
I would argue that this is better than the OG Armani if I really had to like put my money on a product.▶ 0:57–1:03
I've bought this product for maybe six years now.▶ 1:03–1:07

Highlighter

Setting Powder

Setting Spray

Toner

LIP

Lip Balm

tinted lip balm · sheer · $50.00
If you're just interested in a thin on the lips, not really matte, not really glossy product. It's a stiff apply it with no mirror kind of lipstick.▶ 22:29–22:35
It feels luxurious. It is magnetized and it just looks really good on the lips.▶ 22:38–22:47
It's not something that you're going to see a lot of product on the lips either, which is why I love a satin lipstick in a thinner, stiffer kind of formula. It's just so good.▶ 22:45–22:51
tinted lip balm · glossy · $16.00
If you are into like, you know, summer Friday's lip butter balm, that's when I would go with the gloss balms from Unleashia.▶ 25:48–25:52
These have a really lovely balminess to them.▶ 25:55–26:01
This shade in particular, Malibu, is I think their lightest shade, but it's nonsticky, very plush on the lips, and it really sticks and lasts. like it really forms that protective barrier that you need in a lip product like this.▶ 25:59–26:07

Lip Gloss

lip gloss · glossy · $17.00
They are just the most plush, the glossiest, the most fill in the lines of your lips looking lip gloss that does not feel like incredibly waxy, sticky gloss.▶ 23:43–23:54
They just create the most plush, juicy lip look.▶ 23:59–24:08
There is no formula that I think is better than these on the market, period.▶ 24:14–24:24
For this look, this is when I would probably go for like Scotch 30% just to add a little bit of glossiness to a matte lip look like this.▶ 24:57–25:04
Vanilla 30% is like the perfect nearly nude kind of gloss for me.▶ 24:42–24:53
In the summer when I really want like a coral pop, I'll go for sorbet 70%.

Lip Liner

lip liner · matte · $28.00
They are a classic for a reason in my opinion because the shades are stunning.▶ 25:03–25:10
They last on the lips.▶ 25:08–25:11
When you pull out Pillow Talk for the first time in a long time like I did today. I'm wearing a bob with Pillow Talk. I am always like, why did I put this away and have not brought it back out in months?▶ 25:12–25:17
I love iconic nude too.▶ 25:43–25:47
If you have my skin tone and you're more into that kind of lip contoured look, iconic nude kind of gives you a little bit of like a shadow and then they set down budge proof and matte.▶ 25:47–25:52

Lip Stain

lip tint · matte · $14.40
Think of these as what everyone probably wished the 2016 liquid lipsticks would be.▶ 27:34–27:39
These are slightly sheer. They're not quite as intense with creaminess with pigment. They don't feel necessarily like complete matte intensity thick paints. They're subtler. They're thinner.▶ 27:41–27:48
I think that they are more blurring, but they also don't look pasty and thick on the lips.▶ 27:54–28:02
lip tint · glossy · $14.00
I love the shade Pomelo Skin. It is my holy grail.▶ 5:15–5:21
It is the lip I used on my sister on her wedding day.▶ 28:29–28:34
This is the most lovely lip stain. It is glossy. It is hydrating. It isn't really thick. It isn't too too creamy, but it has enough creaminess to give you good saturation and evenness to the stain.▶ 28:41–28:51
I also love the shade dark coconut.▶ 29:38–29:43

Lipstick

EYES

Brow Product

Eyeliner

Sarah Creal has absolutely captured me. I love these eyeliners.▶ 19:04–19:09
This everyday taupe shade is longlasting. It is creamy, so I can actually play with the formula and then it just locks in and it's such a soft color.▶ 19:17–19:26
It's really pretty for everyday, especially if you don't want like a full chocolate brown or a full black. It just gives me the illusion of a wing while being soft enough.▶ 19:26–19:38

Eyeshadow

If you want that everyday kind of piece of luxury in your life, I do feel like Oyster Pearl just gets I get so much use out of it.▶ 15:11–15:20
It is that perfect peery brown. It's not too deep on me.▶ 15:23–15:30
It is really creamy and light reflecting on the eyes without any really heavy glitter particles or anything like that.▶ 15:27–15:33
eyeshadow palette · natural · $98
I just feel like for these really soft everyday creamy eye looks, I just feel like you can't go wrong.▶ 17:57–18:06
Yes, they are going to crease a little bit, but I do feel like texture on the eye is so like skinloving. It's so lived in. It really does look like skinloving makeup on an area of the skin that is often super delicate.▶ 18:03–18:11
These are really lovely for dry eyelids.▶ 17:46–17:50
eyeshadow · $6.40–$9.00
As far as K beauty single shadows, this has been my most favorite since I tried them this year.▶ 16:29–16:34
Since I tried them, it's been kind of difficult for me to want to recommend other single shadows that K beauty brands come out with because, you know, I've tried a lot. A lot of them are duds.▶ 16:32–16:41
These are the wet sparkly top coats that I am always looking for and hunting for on Yes Style.▶ 16:51–16:56
Specifically the shade Glory is to me a really lovely just glossy peach wet looking eyeshadow.▶ 17:48–17:59
The shade Liberty from LAKA. This is like the most lovely grungy wet looking glitter. Like very very much giving luxury as far as that sparkle. The quality is just insane.▶ 18:34–18:42
single eyeshadow · matte · $5.25
It quickly became just that perfect one and done creamy matte eyeshadow.▶ 19:09–19:20
It is very very similar to a lot of the Western Beauty expensive expensive eyeshadows like in the quality, in the pigment, the creaminess, all of it.▶ 19:16–19:25
It has a lovely blur to it.
This is what is on my eyes today as like the shimmery wet glossy top coat.▶ 20:15–20:22
It's pretty similar to something like Space Cowboy from Urban Decay, but I like it because it's even more there's like a softness to it. The particles are even finer.▶ 20:30–20:38
It's a slightly more powder like formula than those. Like this feels more like a powder than like the locker shadows do. But something happens when it goes on the eyes. It just kind of it's wet looking eyes shadow but taken down a notch in a really lovely kind of approachable everyday way.▶ 20:44–20:50
cream eyeshadow · shimmer · $39.00
It is really difficult to find this kind of formula anywhere else.▶ 18:27–18:35
Rituel de Fille kind of pigment mixed with emollient kind of texture to them.▶ 18:31–18:42
You see how like they have that grungy kind of sy melting into the skin kind of look.▶ 18:42–18:49
This is more of that pink kind of taupey shade.▶ 19:55–20:04
glitter eyeshadow topper · glitter · $6.00
Filthy Rich is a beautiful Smokey glossy one-and-done eyeshadow at the drugstore. Look no further, that is it.▶ 21:11–21:25
If I want more of a dramatic kind of one-and-done, that's the one that I'm going and recommending to you guys.▶ 21:22–21:31
Champagne Showers is still absolutely beautiful.▶ 21:00–21:05
If you prefer more of a powder to like a putty texture, I would say go with this.▶ 21:02–21:08

Mascara

These days I actually am using my Sweed Beauty Lash Lift even more and that is unheard of for me.▶ 21:48–21:59
I will say that I wish the stopper was a little bit better and it removed the extra product more because I find that sometimes it has the perfect amount on it and then sometimes it gets gunked up. So that is one thing I don't like about it.▶ 22:01–22:06
It's still a holy grail though and I'm about to show you why.▶ 22:14–22:20

SKINCARE

Cleanser

Concealer

I usually really hate SPF color correcting kind of like eye cream with a little tint for like the everyday, that kind of thing. I usually really dislike those kinds of products and this is one of the only ones that is thin enough but hydrating enough.▶ 1:34–1:44
Like it has that good balance to it.▶ 1:50–1:55
I think that this works better than a lot of the concealers for hollow under eyes that a lot of people recommend.▶ 1:52–1:59

Exfoliator

exfoliating toner pad · $24.80
I was nervous about trying these.
This does an excellent job of keeping my actual dead skin cleared but also taking care of the pore itself.▶ 4:37–4:46
A really well formulated pore pad exfoliating toner like this... they get so much hype that they do is because they're really taking care of so many different steps in one.▶ 4:43–4:55

Eye Cream

Face Mask

If I just want to suck out the gunk and I don't need activives, like if it's a really especially sensitive breakout, then I'll just go with the OG Mighty Patch.▶ 27:37–27:50
Both of these I love. Have repurchased. They're absolutely fantastic.▶ 28:02–28:09
If you just want something to suck out the gunk and to actually stay in place and hold a lot, Hero Cosmetics Mighty Patches.▶ 28:09–28:14

Moisturizer

Serum

SPF

This gives you a beautiful velvety finish, no white cast, no peeling, will not break you out, will not irritate the eyes. It's perfect.▶ 3:19–3:25
I love the blur that it gives my skin.▶ 3:29–3:34
I have dry skin and that sunscreen works beautifully for me, but I see combination and oily skin also like really loving that velvety finish.▶ 3:59–4:04

HAIR

Shampoo

Styling Product

TOOLS

Bronzer

Brush

Lash Curler

Lip Stain

Mascara

Sponge

Tool

eyelash curler · $28.00
I think it's going to be better for those of you to curl with hooded eyes or even more almond eyes.
Both have a long-lasting curl. Both have a really nice glide to them. They do not tug on my lashes or break them.

OTHER

Body

I got to tell you, if there's one that I have been like, my boyfriend and I both were just like, I just freaking love that soap. I love that soap so much.▶ 27:46–27:54
It is hydrating and it just has that it is definitely that like hotel soap vibe like you know when you go to a fancy hotel and like all of the essentials that they give you are all really lovely smelling and feel expensive.▶ 28:02–28:08
Yeah, this is that vibe for sure.▶ 28:14–28:22
