Urban Decay$25.0024/7 Moondust Glitter Eyeshadow Singleshade · Rebel Star- “Now Rebel Star was apparently a limited edition shade. I don't know what is going on with Urban Decay.

- “What I like about these though is they are a little bit cheaper than the Fwee Pudding Pots”▶ 14:25
- “The shade 05 is just like it's like a soft, very very soft peach, but leans a little bit more neutral. It's not overly warm. I just I love it. I love it love it love it”▶ 14:41
- “On the skin, the Lilybyred is even more blurring. Like, if I'm looking very up close on my skin right now, the Lilybyred looks even more blurred”▶ 15:25
Dior$49.00Forever Blush Soft Filtershade · Orchid
Hourglass$38Phantom Volumizing Glossy Balmshade · Slip- “This has also been Best of Beauty a few years, I'm sure. Because it's just, in my opinion, one of those gorgeous, plushy, balmy, fills in the lines of the lips in this really beautiful, volumizing kind of way products”▶ 16:16

REFY$30.00Water Blush Liquid Cushionshade · Lychee
