Today I'm going to be sharing part 2 of my favorite makeup products under $5. If you want to check out part 1 that I posted last year, click here ! -Enjoy! Color Icon Eyeshadow 10 Pan Palette // Wet n Wild // $4.99 This is one of the best and most affordable eyeshadow palettes available at the drugstore. I'm not only mentioning it on this list because it's  only $5, but because it's actually really great quality. It is has primarily matte shadows, most of which are nicely pigmented and blendable. The only one I don't like at all is the light purple shade, which has no pigmentation and doesn't show up at all on my fair skin tone. The stand-outs from the palette are the transition shades, which have the largest pan size. Having both cool-toned and warm-toned light brown shades adds so much more versatility and practicability to the palette. Also, it's an exact dupe for the Anastasia Beverly Hills Modern Renaissance palette. So if you've been w...

Happy New Year! For my first post of 2018, I wanted to tell you all about my favorite and most-used makeup products of the past year! I'm going to be splitting it up into 3 categories: face, eyes & lips. I hope you enjoy! *For most of the products I linked to Amazon , which I made sure was an official retailer of the brands I mentioned and not a secondhand seller. I have found the prices on Amazon are much better than those from other websites /   stores   (even sometimes high-end brands!) The prices listed next to the product are from Ulta, but don't forget to check the Amazon links for a discount!   I have bought a lot of makeup from Amazon before and have never had any issues with it.*  Face E.L.F. Cosmetics Blush & Bronzing Powder   $4.00 I love everything about this blush and contour duo! Firstly, I love how compact the packaging is and that there is a mirror included, which is just so convenient. The actual blush/ bronzer has...

Happy National Lipstick Day! Listed below are my favorite lipstick formulas. Enjoy!  Kylie Cosmetics: Matte Liquid Lipstick & Metal Lipstick Many would doubt the quality of this product due to the all the hype it gets with Kylie Jenner's name attached to it, but my experience with her brand has been nothing but positive. There are many dupes for the matte liquid lipstick's such as the most popular comparison of the Colourpop Ultra Matte formula. While I would agree that the Kylie Cosmetics Metal Lipstick formula is identical to Colourpop's Ultra Metallic formula, Kylie's Matte Lipstick formula is much more comfortable and much less drying than the Colourpop alternative.Candy K is by far one of the most used lipsticks on this list, as I wear it nearly every time I put on makeup. It lasts all day and doesn't flake or crack off after a few hours. I rarely need to reapply throughout the day, as well. The Metal Lipstick isn't the best formula as it i...
