Makeup By Mario SoftSculpt Transforming Skin Enhancer

This SoftSculpt Transforming Skin Enhancer from Makeup By Mario has quickly become my obsession but it’s extremely hard to describe because it does not fit neatly into any category. The product is basically a super creamy, tinted balm that offers light coverage and a warm glow to even out skin tone and make you look ALIVE. Is it a skin tint? Kinda. A creamy bronzer? Sorta. Is it worth all the hype? A resounding yes. FYI, I use shade Light Medium.

Armani Satin Long Lasting Lipstick

I sported a particularly nude lip on my Instagram stories this week and my DMs were flooded with questions. I was wearing this Armani lipstick (a longtime favorite formula) in a new shade – 102 Romanza. It was layered over my trusty NYX lip pencil in Nude Truffle for a little extra definition.

Aveda Volumizing Tonic Jumbo Size

One of my most frequently-asked questions is how I achieve so much volume at the root of my hair and my secret is this Aveda volumizing tonic. Okay, it’s not a secret. I rave about it constantly because I truly cannot do my hair without it. The problem is, I can go through their tiny 3.4 oz bottles in just a few weeks. So, I was THRILLED to stumble upon this 33.8 oz option on Amazon. If I’ve gotten you hooked on this product and you’re also going through the small bottles like crazy, opt for the big one. You…

Plum Eyeliner

After stumbling upon some Tiktok inspiration, I decided to depart from my trusty brown and black eyemakeup and try my hand at plum (yes plum!) eyeliner. You can watch my live attempt on video here. Turns out, plum is super flattering on ALL eye colors. Brown eyes look good with literally any color, but lighter eyes have a much harder time venturing beyond brown and black color palettes. Plum actually makes blue/green/hazel eyes POP and also offers a really nice soft look. See for yourself in this plum eyeliner tutorial I made. I linked everything I used on my face,…

Sephora Clear and Cover Concealer

Kathleen Jennings @KathleenJenningsBeauty recommended this Sephora Collection cream concealer that’s an Allure 2020 Best of Beauty Award Winner. The liquid concealer contains 2% salicylic acid because who doesn’t love a two-for-one: the concealer offers medium coverage AND the acid in it treats and prevents future blemishes.

Travel Makeup Brush Holder

This silicone brush holder is great for travel but I love having it anytime I need to throw makeup in my purse. It’s lightweight, compact and protects both the inside of my purse and my makeup brushes. When my skin was being super oily recently, I threw some powder and a fluffy brush in my purse and this holder was the perfect solve for keeping my powder brush protected from the lint collection at the bottom of my bag.

Plum Eyeliner

Somehow the TikTok of this girl talking about punching her sorority sister in the face graced my FYP and while I can’t say it has inspired me to punch anyone in the face recently, it DID inspire me to immediately order plum eyeliner. I ordered this one from Nars in the Broadway shade and while I’m still getting the hang of it, so far I’m OBSESSED.
