Italics are necessities, bolds are Holy Grails.

THE BASICS

  • About Face The Performer Foundation, L2OLIVE
    • This is soooo close! Apparently I'm an even cooler toned olive than their line, because a bit of blue corrector fixes this right up for me
  • Danessa Myricks Yummy Skin Blurring Balm Powder, Universal
  • e.l.f. Camo Color Corrector x2
    • Blue
    • Green
  • L.A. Girl Pro.Conceal HD Concealer x2
    • Blue
    • Pink
  • Maybelline Lash Sensational Sky High Waterproof Mascara, Very Black
    • Honestly beginning to think as long as it’s waterproof, it’ll work for me lmao. I like both this one and the Falsies waterproof one
  • Saie Glowy Super Gel Lightweight Dewy Multipurpose Illuminator, Starglow (mini)
    • GWP
    • This reminds me of that old Becca Backlight primer everyone loved. Depending on how long it lasts I might consider buying the full size, but we’ll see
  • Wet ’n’ Wild MegaLast Eyeshadow Primer
  • Yves Saint Laurent Touche Éclat Awakening Concealer, 2 Luminous Ivory
    • Okay, I LOVE this formula. Shade is slightly light, but the tone is correct and I think going with 2.5 may have been too warm. Great for undereyes

MULTIPURPOSE

  • The Crème Shop Lip + Cheek Chic Stick, Cherry Blossom
    • Adorable color, and my inner 12-year-old LOVES the scent
  • Milk Makeup Lip + Cheek Cream Blush Stick x2
    • Muse
      • This is an amazing deep cherry red on me
    • Quickie
      • Last time I got one it got stuck in the bottom so as to be unusable. I missed it though, so I repurchased
      • Glad I did! It’s become a total MVP in my collection
  • NUDESTIX Nudies Cream Blush All-Over-Face Color, Moodie Blu
    • This is surprisingly versatile!
  • Rituel de Fille Color Nectar Pigment Balm, Weeping Cherry
  • Rituel de Fille Inner Glow Crème Pigment, Intuition
  • Rituel de Fille Rare Light Crème Luminizer, Ghost Light
    • All of the above are on order

CHEEK STUFF

  • Basma The Cream Blush - Fuchsia (mini)
    • Got this for free and it’s super nice
  • Merit Flush Balm x2
    • Mood
      • Welp, they discontinued this shade. Milk Muse is brighter and I think I like it better though
    • Rouge
  • NARS Blush - Sin
    • Aw shit, baby’s first NARS and I absolutely love it. Was specifically recommended for winters, and I’d say it’s spot on. Doesn’t resemble anything else in my collection either. Worth every penny

EYELINER

  • NYX Epic Ink Liner, Black
    • My fave from Wet'n'Wild started underperforming. I've used this one before and I remember liking it, so now I'd say it's the best liquid liner on the market haha
  • NYX Jumbo Eye Pencil x2
    • Black Bean
      • This is actually the only product that stays on my waterline at all
    • Milk
  • Sephora 12H Contour Eye Pencil x3
    • Black Lace
    • Sangria
    • Waterfall
      • Family friend recommended these. Good lookin’ out!
  • Urban Decay Heavy Metal Glitter Eyeliner x2
    • Glamrock
    • Midnight Cowboy
      • Mainly bought these for performances, and they work a treat

EYESHADOW

  • About Face Matte Fluid Eye Paint x2
    • New Karma
      • This was kiiiiind of an impulse buy, but damn does it work!
    • No Queen Blues
      • Exactly what I want in a blue
  • About Face Shadowstick, 2002
    • NGL I bought this for both free-shipping reasons and nostalgia. It reminds me of an eyeshadow stick I wore to junior prom in... you guessed it, 2002
  • ĀTHR Beauty Moonlight Crystal Palette
    • They are back in business now! Not sure if this is available again though? Either way, it’s full of perfect cool-toned colors and is fairly unique in my collection. Love it!
  • ColourPop 9-Pan Pressed Palette x2
    • Blowin' Smoke
      • On order
    • Gone Metal
      • If you’re cool toned, buy this palette and thank me later. It is everything
      • I’ve hit pan on three colors and a couple more are close. I may actually finish the whole thing
  • Huda Beauty Pretty Grunge
    • Okaaaaay, this might be my absolute favorite palette ever. Half tempted to throw a lot of my other ones out. I won’t, but I could definitely cull them now. This one is that good. Winters (and summers who like a moody look), this one is for you
  • 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
      • But that’s the thing: the color story is amazing in the palette, but I almost never use it because I have a lot of dupes across my collection. Plus if I want a performance look, I tend to go more for other palettes, including Under a Spell. Not sure I need both anymore. I may Project Pan this and see how I feel
  • Sugarpill Cosmetics Pressed Eyeshadow x2
    • Tako
      • Fun fact: I bought this because I was tempted by a certain rather large palette released near the end of 2024. Problem was, I have dupes for most of the palette… except for the matte white shade. So glad I bought this instead because it’s exactly what I wanted
    • Velouria
      • Obviously it’s beautiful on its own, but unexpected use case: cooling down certain warm browns
  • Urban Decay 24/7 Glaze-On Shadow, Frost Boss
  • Viseart Cashmerie Étendu
    • Yet again with the untouched warm colors HAHAHA
  • Viseart Petits Fours x3
    • Garnet
      • Mostly too warm toned for me, but I love that red and garnet is my birthstone sooooo
    • Lilas
    • Tyrian

LIP GOODIES

  • Cocokind Ceramide Lip Blur Balm x2
    • Be Bold
    • Be Kind
      • This one is straight orange on me, so I've been using it as an overnight mask. Would repurchase it in clear though
  • Colourpop Lippie Pencil x2
    • Seduction
    • Twisted
  • Colourpop Lux Lipstick x2
    • Enemies to Lovers
    • Toxic
      • All of the above are on order. Yes, I bought THOSE lip kits
  • 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 is so nice to use with different liners and glosses
  • Etude Dear Darling Water Tint, Cherry Ade
  • Fenty Beauty Gloss Bomb Stix, Is It Fu$$y
    • Reminds me of the old Revlon lip butter in Pink Truffle, but with a better, more pigmented formula. In other words, it’s MLBB for winters with a similar complexion to mine, and I'm gonna wear it a loooooot. I’d be interested to try a couple of other shades, but my wallet and limited space would not be happy lol
  • MAC lipliner pencil, Nightmoth
    • Folks… when in doubt, get the OG. It’s probably exactly what you wanted in the first place. I had a dupe that was the right color but the wrong formula, and lordy it smelled bad too
  • MAC lipstick x2
    • D for Danger (mini)
      • Picking a favorite lipstick is damn near impossible, but this might be the one. It’s everything I wanted Revlon Cherries in the Snow to be back in the day. I hope the color didn’t change in the new formula. According to video reviews it looks about the same, but we’ll see eventually, maybe
    • Russian Red
      • I finally bought it, and my only real question is why the hell did I wait so long? She’s that girl
  • Maybelline Lifter Gloss, Pearl
  • Necromancy Cosmetica Embalming Stick, Undead
  • NYX Butter Gloss x3
    • Cranberry Pie
    • Red Velvet
    • Vanilla Cream Pie
      • I’m actually happy lip glosses are back in style, because these colors are all lovely
  • NYX Lip IV Hydrating Gloss Stain, Grape Gushin’
    • Ooooo, interesting product! Feels nice when applied fully, and blots to a pretty stain that is truly not messing around. If I didn't already have so many other lip products I might try a few more of these
  • NYX Smushy Matte Lip Balm x2
    • She’s Serving
    • Swipe Sesh
  • NYX Suede Matte Lip Liner x2
    • Cherry Skies
      • This might be one of the only lip liner pencils I’ve ever worn down to a nub. About halfway through pencil #2
    • Sao Paulo
      • I’m a big fan of these pencils
  • NYX Suede Matte Lightweight Lipstick, Cherry Skies
    • My perfect red - fellow winters, take note. Wears down well and reapplies nicely
  • Revlon Super Lustrous Lipstick x2
    • Heartbreaker
      • This formula! The color by itself is maybe a tad bright on me, but if I wear it with something like MAC D for Danger as an ombré, it works beautifully. That combo is my go-to Barbie lip
    • Vampire Love
      • Not as intense as it looks in the tube. On me it’s a very wearable cranberry color that can be sheered out or built up. I’ve worn it way more often than I expected
  • Rituel de Fille Enchanted Lip Sheer, Water Violet
    • On order
  • Rituel de Fille Thorn Bite Peptide Plump Crème Lip Oil x2
    • Dark Thorn
      • On order
    • Night Flower
  • Sephora Cream Lip Stain x3
    • Blackberry Sorbet
      • Had this color before, used it up, originally decided not to repurchase but ended up missing it
    • Marvelous Mauve
      • A surprisingly great neutral-ish color on me. It’s 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. On my second… tube? Is that right for these lol? I’m going with it
    • Red Velvet
      • On my fourth tube. It’s my perfect true red
      • Unfortunately people are saying the reformulation sucks… might have to look for something close to this. Boooooo. Maybe I’ll just stick with Russian Red even though it’s lighter
  • Summer Fridays Lip Butter Balm x2
    • Cherry
    • Pink Sugar (mini)
