Italics are necessities, bolds are Holy Grails.

THE BASICS

• ILIA Beauty Limitless Lash Mascara (mini)
  • Not bad! Still doesn’t reallllllly hold a curl for me, but my lashes don’t go completely straight again either. Not sure I like it enough to buy full size, but it’s worth considering if your lashes aren’t super heavy and straight like mine
• IT Cosmetics Bye Bye Undereye Anti-Aging Waterproof Concealer, Light Natural
• Maybelline Volum’ Express The Falsies Waterproof Mascara, Very Black
  • Had to go back to the waterproof because I want my mascara to hold a curl. Still the best I’ve ever used
• Wet ’n’ Wild MegaLast Eyeshadow Primer

CHEEK STUFF

• Becca Luminous Blush, Snapdragon
  • It’s high quality and gorgeous, but I rarely use it anymore…
  • I realize it’s because it’s way too warm for me. Coral isn’t my color. Probs gonna declutter it, or maybe create a dance troupe box
• The Crème Shop Lip + Cheek Chic Stick, Cherry Blossom
  • Adorable color, and my inner 12-year-old LOVES the scent
• ILIA Beauty Multi-Stick, At Last (mini)
  • Ooooo now this one I do like enough to buy full size if it runs out. Love this color
• Merit Flush Balm, Mood
  • This is starting to flatten out. It goes so well with all of my darker lip colors and I won’t be surprised if I need to repurchase it in a few months
• Rare Beauty Soft Pinch Liquid Blush x2
  • Believe
    • I never go for the celeb makeup lines, but this is an excellent product. I’m always shocked at how naturally this color blends into my skin, given how dark it is in the tube, but it’s a great everyday blush. Highly recommend it if you’re a cool winter like me
  • Hope
    • Teeeeeechnically I think it’s slightly warm for me, but if I pair it with one of my red lipsticks it’s fine

EYELINER

• Sephora 12H Contour Eye Pencil x3
  • Black Lace
  • Sangria
  • Waterfall
    • Family friend recommended these. Good lookin’ out!
• Wet ’n’ Wild MegaLast Breakup Proof Liquid Eyeliner
  • My beloved! You are back in my collection!

EYESHADOW PALETTES

• ĀTHR Beauty Moonlight Crystal Palette
  • OMG. It’s full of perfect cool-toned colors and is fairly unique in my collection. I also got it on mega sale. True and bright winters who want a non-neutral eyeshadow palette in which every color looks excellent on you, get this one before they close up shop!
• ColourPop 9-Pan Pressed Palette, Gone Metal
  • If you’re cool toned, especially if you’re any winter subtype, buy this palette and thank me later. It is everything
• Makeup Revolution Reloaded Eyeshadow Palette - Provocative
  • Bought on impulse. Super warm toned on me so I rarely reach for it, but the quality always pleasantly surprises me when I do use it… which is almost never, so I may still declutter or add to troupe box
• Sleek Makeup i-Divine palette x2
  • Under a Spell
    • Soooo pretty. I tend to forget how great Sleek eyeshadows are
  • Vintage Romance
    • Received as a gift. One of the most beautiful palettes I own
• Too Faced Chocolate Bon Bons
  • Yet another palette where most of the cooler shades have hit pan and the warmer ones have barely been touched lol
• Urban Decay NAKED2
  • I’ve had this for so long that I often forget it exists, but it’s still great. Even though I YET AGAIN barely use the couple of slightly warmer shades lmao
• Urban Decay NAKED Ultimate Basics
  • I use at least one shade from this palette daily… and 95% of the time it’s from the upper half of the palette lmao. Tell me you’re cool toned without telling me
• Viseart Cashmerie Étendu
  • Love their eyeshadows. I use this palette almost every day… though yet again with the untouched warm colors HAHAHA
• Viseart Petits Fours, Lilas
• Viseart Petits Fours, Garnet
  • Too warm toned for me, but I love that red and garnet is my birthstone sooooo

LIP GOODIES

• Bite Beauty Mini Yaysayer Plumping Lip Gloss Trio (Cider Donut, Sugar Buns, Sugar Drizzle)
  • These are reasonable sizes for lip gloss tbh. Cider Donut is the product I didn’t know I needed, Sugar Buns is MLBB, and Sugar Drizzle makes a beautiful topper. Love the cinnamon bun scent too
• The Crème Shop Lip Juice Stain, Peach Please
  • …It’s a LOT. I can just about pull it off, but it’s really more aligned with what my makeup goals were in my 20s rather than my current goals. And yet I still find it appealing on the rare occasion I use it. Might try to pan it over weekends
• e.l.f. O Face Satin Lipstick, Shameless
  • I think I found my 90s style neutral! Really impressed with how lovely this formula is in general, and this color will be nice to use with different liners and glosses
• L.A. Girl Glazed Lip Paint, Elude
  • Too light for me to use on its own; I use a tiny amount of it as a lip highlighter with certain colors
• L’Oreal Les Nus by Colour Riche Intense Nude Lipstick, Nu Insouciant
  • Was looking for another color in the regular line that was out of stock, liked the look of this one. At first I thought “bold of them to call this a nude lol” BUT if you are cool or bright winter, this can work better as an everyday lip than actual nude colors do
• MAC lipstick x3
  • Bombshell
    • Ooooo I took a chance on this one, and it’s a perfect light pink for me. It’s about as light as I can possibly go. I had Fanfare back in the day, but this is a much better match for my undertones
  • Brick-o-la
    • On my third tube because this reads as a medium pinkish-red on me and goes with so many looks. Might technically be a little bit too warm, but not extremely so
  • D for Danger (mini)
    • This is an amazing color, but it’s not exactly the most unique in my collection (see a couple entries below). That being said, it’s different enough and I love it enough to justify keeping both lolol
• MAC Powder Kiss Liquid Lipstick, Make Love To The Camera
  • FYI this is not long wearing, but it does have a great formula and I love the color. Used it for my wedding on top of…
• Maybelline Superstay Ink Crayon, Check Yourself
  • Great on its own and under other colors. Perfect cool winter red
  • For me it’s a close match to MAC D for Danger, just less pink. I can discern the difference on my face, but others might not see it. YMMV but depending on your own undertone and preferences, this might be a close enough dupe
• NYX Butter Gloss, Crème Brûlée
  • Amazing at toning down lip colors
• NYX Shout Loud Satin Lipstick, Wife Goals
  • This is a great true red! Maybe slightly bright on me, but I like it for the warmer months (lol as if we have anything else)
• NYX Suede Matte Lip Liner x3
  • Cherry Skies
  • Sao Paulo
  • Whipped Caviar
    • I’m a big fan of these pencils
• Revlon Super Lustrous Lipstick, Vampire Love
  • Not as intense as it looks in the tube. On me it’s a very wearable cranberry color. I’ve actually worn it way more often than I expected. I feel like it would also be amazing on a dark winter
• Sephora Cream Lip Stain x3
  • Black Cherry
    • Originally wanted this for wedding lipstick but it wasn’t what I was going for. Turns out super dark lips aren’t my best look lol. That being said, it’s the best version of this color I’ve used. Maybe Halloween bellydance? Gonna need to experiment
  • Marvelous Mauve
    • A surprisingly great neutral-ish color on me. It’s probably as close as I can get to those greige-y colors that were popular a few years back, despite being in a different color family. Will no doubt get a lot of use
  • Red Velvet
    • On my third… tube? Is that right for these lol? It’s my perfect true red and it was my go to before I left a casual office job. Still love it for weekends

NAIL POLISH (starting mostly over bc a lot of my polishes were oooooooold and I only just got back into painting my nails)

  • Great color but might clash with half of my wardrobe?
• Olive & June Nail Polish x4
  • CCT
  • CV
  • HZ
  • OMG

  • Cajun Shrimp
    • Received as a gift
