Gel/Cream Eyeliner

I like eyeliners in pots, since they can be quite pigmented and easier to control than liquid eyeliner, though I tend to reach for pencil eyeliners as they’re the easiest to use!

Setting Powder

One of my favorite aspects of setting powder is how smooth and velvety they can make the skin look! Since I’m indoors and at home most of the day, prolonged wear isn’t a major concern for me personally, but it is nice to have something that CAN extend wear when I do need it!

Liquid Lipstick

I love the kind that don’t fully dry down; I’d prefer the type that has a moderate dry down, so they are still quite long-wearing, but the the flat,
matte finish isn’t a look I personally love on me most of the time!

Cheek Palettes

I enjoy duos and trios, but if they are bigger,
then I find them overwhelming or that some shades won’t be used often.

Glitter Highlighters

If they’re liquid/cream, they seem to adhere better to the skin and can be a really fun look, assuming one enjoys glitter. For powder products, I prefer when they have more base color/tint with finer sparkle.

Shimmer Blush

My favorite! I love shimmer on the cheeks, so if I can get it in a blush, all the better 🙂 I’m not (personally) too concerned with shimmer that emphasizes pores, as long as it’s not TOO much.

Cream Blush

I love the softly dewy finish they give the skin, and as long as they don’t do a lot of moving during the day, I’m game! I don’t like when they’re too thick and are really wet/dewy on the skin, though, as that usually means poorer wear.

Powder Bronzer

I don’t use bronzer that often in my “normal” routine, other than when I’m testing it. I’m not opposed to it, but I just don’t find myself reaching for it much myself! If I do, it’s usually as a cheek color!

Pastel Eyeshadow

I like the way they look, though less so on me,
but find they are often significantly under-performing compared to less white-based eyeshadow shades!

Beauty Marketing Emails

The increased use of slang like “FOMO” has worn thin on me–I’m not a fan of that type of selling to begin with, and I just feel like it’s overused in the marketing emails I get these days. I love when I get emails about newly released products or a mix of new and old (bestselling)
products or how-tos.
