I’m a healthcare worker and so masks have become a daily norm. My old foundation kept transferring and making my face look awful with the heat and movement, especially around my nose. I switched to this foundation (which btw has a light enough shade for me that others don’t - Shell), and love it. It stays put under masks and I don’t look like I’ve just come out of a sauna after my shift. I would definitely recommend! The only downside is that the bottle does not come with a pump, that’s extra $. -
Maybelline New York The Falsies Volum' Express Mascara
I’ve tried many many MANY expensive mascaras and always end up coming back to this one. I love that it’s waterproof and makes my lashes look bomb.

I've always only used regular milk or creamer in my coffee until a few weeks ago when my husband went to the store and came back with this.... Oh my, it is so good. Drinking coffee now tastes like a treat - without all the calories! The fat free version comes in at 30 calories per 15mL, 0.5g fat, 7g carbs. Much better than a pumpkin spice latte or caramel macchiato everyday IMO. I'm looking forward to trying the other flavours too! -

I work in healthcare and most of my colleagues do not wear makeup. My skin is not even (almost rosacea-y) and I prefer to wear foundation everyday because lets be honest - it makes my face look one colour. I like using UD's naked foundation for everyday because it provides a lightweight coverage that does not look cakey. You can still see freckles or beauty marks through it, but it tones down the redness. The downfall is the price point, it's around $50 and I have previously used Walmart Maybelline products so it was a big pill to swallow. If you can afford to try out a pricier product, UD's foundations are great! -

I have tried different types of eyeliners, in search of the one that stays on all day and that will look bold enough for me. I found this in the Rimmel exaggerate stay sharp eye liner. This is the one that you do not need to sharpen ever. The cap that twists on sharpens the liner. I've tried the $20+ prestige brands and although they may feel creamier upon application, the longevity of the product on my eyes is no different than the Rimmel! With Rimmel costing 1/4 or less of the price of the prestigious brands with no affect on longevity or waterproofness, it's a no brainer to try out Rimmel!! -

I tried many different setting powders before finding the LM translucent setting powder. I am quite fair, but found that other setting powders would leave my face looking extra pale and flat (-Kat Von D setting powder). The LM powder is perfect, it sets my liquid foundation and leaves my skin looking flawless, but natural. It helps prevent my mascara from transferring to my upper eyelid throughout the day as well as decreases undereye creases from concealer. This is my go-to setting powder and I always have a backup on hand!
FYI: There is a point where the product no longer comes out of the dispensing holes... my husband popped off the inside plastic (where the holes are) and I got a few more days of use out of it - just a heads up for you ladies who don't like to waste product!

I loved the peanut butter version of these and once I saw the cocoa butter, I was sold. I usually have these for breakfast on the run and was a little disappointed when the chocolately/nutella looking filling lacked the same level of taste of the PB version. The biscuits themselves do not disappoint and are a great texture that are not too crunchy, but also not soft. Overall I give them 4/5. -
