In honor of National Lipstick Day, I'm going to be sharing a list of all of my favorite lipsticks! Out of everything in my makeup collection, lipsticks have always been my favorite thing to collect through the years! Ever since I started my blog in 2017, each year I post an updated list of my favorites, but I usually focused more on my favorite lipstick lines and formulas - to switch it up this year I'm going to dive into the specific shades that I love the most. Some of the products are limited edition and may no longer be sold, but I will be sharing the closest dupe the brand still has available. If you want to read about more of my favorites through the years, I'd love for you check out the rest of my National Lipstick Day s eries! ♡ "Candy K" // Kylie Cosmeti cs Out of any lipstick in my collection, " Candy K " is easily my favorite. This was the first product I ever tried from Kylie Cosmetics in 2016 and it has since grown to be one ...

Every year I have made it a tradition to continue my series of my favorite makeup products under $5 to commemorate the anniversary of my first blog post in 2017! For the three year anniversary of my blog, I'm sharing part 4 of this series - which I think may have some of the best product recommendations yet! So many use the phrase "good for the price" when describing affordable makeup, but all of these products are genuinely comparable in quality to so many high-end alternatives, all while being sold at a lower price. If you are interested in reading about more products under $5, I'd love for you to check out the rest of the series throughout the years! Every product I have shared throughout the years in this series continue to be some my favorites and I still stand by all of my reviews! ♡ ELF Bite Size Mini Eyeshado w Palette // $3 Elf has a beautiful assortment of eyeshadow quads that will surely be able to suit anyone's makeup preferences.

Colo urpop has always been my go-to brand for nearly every aspect of my makeup routine for years because of how affordable, high quality and diverse their range is. A few years ago they launched their first round of complexion products, including the No Filter concealer. I have loved it and repurchased it for years. I recently saw that Ulta started carrying Colourpop's newest range of complexion products from the Pretty Fresh line - which is something I have been curious to try since it launched last year. Today I'm going to compare and contrast both of these concealers to help you better decide which product may work best for you if you were interested in trying it as well! To give a brief background of my skin type for reference - my skin is naturally very dry and I often have patches of eczema on my face, especially around the eye area. I use concealer all over my face to even out my skin, tone down any redness and cover blemishes. I typically prefer to use medium-c...

I have loved  Kylie Cosmetics ever since I first tried the liquid lipsticks in 2016 and always rave about all of the brand's lip products being some of my absolute favorites. I never strayed too far from anything other than the lipsticks and glosses, other than the blush and Kylighter I bought last year and absolutely love. A few weeks ago, I saw that Ulta was having an amazing sale on all of the Kyshadow palettes for more than 50% off and I knew it was the time to try one! They originally retail for $42 and were on sale for $19. I was able to get more money off with my Ulta reward points, so it ended up being about $16.  There are 5 Kyshadow Palettes sold at Ulta (there are more available on the Kylie Cosmetics website, but aren't on sale). I was drawn to the Sorta Sweet Palette because of the gorgeous neutral tones with a hint of mauve throughout. This color story is exactly what I gravitate towards the most these days when it comes to my eye makeup, so this pale...
