CoverGirl$11.99Clean Fresh Brow Liner 1MM Nano Pencilshade · Dark Brown
Essence$4.99The Super Peptide Glossy Lip Treatmentshade · Plain
- “This is a peptide stick and it's supposed to be like a hydrating beautiful skin serum in a stick solid form that you can rub into your skin”▶ 2:25
- “I think this product feels kind of like heavy. Feels a little bit greasy, a little bit heavy, but I do find it to be”▶ 2:38
- “My face turns red after I use it”▶ 2:44
- “If you have oily skin, I would not use this. I would stay away from it because I think it is too much of a thick, heavy moisturizer”▶ 2:51
- “If you have super dry skin and you feel like your makeup isn't adhering, it's not sticking on, it's breaking apart, there's dry patches, something like this would be fantastic”▶ 2:58

Maybelline$17.99- “Out of all the drugstore foundations, this one has been one of my favorites”▶ 3:39
- “It wears very high-end”▶ 3:42
- “A little bit does go a long way”▶ 3:56
- “It's super liquidy, blends out really easy, but the main thing I love about it is how longwearing it is”▶ 3:58
- “It will get a little shiny on you because it is like super stay, but it's meant to be slightly glowy”▶ 4:04

- “This is a very buildable skin tint foundation”▶ 4:36
Essence$5.99Silky Blur Hydrating Longwear Concealershade · 150- “It is a thicker consistency concealer. Like a little bit goes a very long way”▶ 4:47
- “It also has a pretty quick dry time on it, so you don't want to mess around cuz it can get patchy if you wait too long to blend it”▶ 4:51
- “This concealer gives a shocking amount of coverage for the $5 price point. It's crazy”▶ 5:00
- “It does blend out really well”▶ 5:07

- “I'm just really impressed with this formula. Honestly, I'm impressed with the coverage”▶ 5:23

e.l.f. Cosmetics$12.00Set It Bright Correcting & Brightening Setting Powdershade · Light to Medium- “This is a really great finely milled silky setting powder”▶ 6:24

- “They're so pretty. They have a matte finish, but they're really, really pretty”▶ 7:33
- “It's called Toasted Sky. It looks super deep, but if you tap your brush into it lightly and just tap it out, you'll see it's really not that intense”▶ 7:45
- “Look how pretty Toasted Sky is”
- “I actually do think they're worth it”
- “The only thing is they do slip and slide around. Like for instance, like if this sets on my cheek for a while and like you touch my cheek, it will come right off. So, you do have to set these as well or else you're going to have a mess”▶ 7:29
