Some of My New Favorite Makeup Products

I had been looking for the perfect nude/brown lip combo for the longest time until I came across a Tik Tok suggestion to try out the Nyx Sandstorm lip liner and the Nyx Madeline butter gloss. I immediately went to Ulta and purchased the liner for $4 and the gloss for $5 – they were super affordable compared to other brands. I fell in love with this combination because it goes with any makeup look, even if I’m just aiming for a more natural one. These have easily become my go-to lip products, so I definitely recommend them!

I was a little hesitant to purchase this product at first because I usually stick to powdered blushes, but I am so glad that I decided to try something new. The best part about this liquid blush is that it gives any look a very natural and dewy finish, so it always adds a nice touch to my makeup. The key is to blend it well with your fingers or a beauty sponge – I find that the beauty sponge does a better job. This product is only $7.99 at Ulta, so it is also very affordable. It is one of my favorites for when I don’t want to do a full face of makeup, and I just want to add some color to my face. I hope you’ll try this one out, especially during the summer!

I decided to buy these glitters on a whim even though I rarely have an occasion to wear euphoria-themed glitters, and I definitely do not regret it. These are usually $60, but I was able to purchase them at $45, which was a definite steal because the kit brings 12 glitters. I have only used these a handful of times, but the glitters accentuate any eye makeup look and definitely add a unique creative touch to your makeup. The vault also has so much variety to choose from, and the glitters can be extremely colorful. 

I had never added any faux freckles to my face ever before, but I was very intrigued when Colourpop released this freckle pen. It was only $8 on their website, so I decided to give the product a try, and it definitely shocked me. The pen allows you to apply the freckles effortlessly, and they always look super natural! You just have to press the pen all over your cheeks and nose (and any other places you’d like) and then gently blend the dots with your finger or a sponge. It definitely makes it easy for a beginner at faux freckles, and it is a fun new experimental look that is extremely popular right now!

I received this mascara in a box subscription (either BoxyCharm or FabFitFun, I can’t recall), and although I assumed I wouldn’t care too much for it, it quickly became my go-to mascara. Honestly, I don’t know if it’s the applicator or the product, but this mascara always separates and lengthens my lashes so smoothly without ever looking clumpy. I have always struggled to find a mascara that suits my eyelashes, but this one always does the trick for me. This mascara sells for $23, but I would say it’s worth every penny.
