This is my holy grail foundation, it is one of the only brands that carries a shade light enough for my skin tone. Whereas other foundations seem to just sit on top of my skin, the Nars Sheer Glow contains skin care elements and once blended in, it gives my skin a beautiful glow.
There is absolutely no shimmer whatsoever in this foundation however, the finish makes it seem as though your skin is lit from within.
The coverage is light/medium and can be built up in problem areas. Due to the skin care ingredients, it is recommended that you shake the product before gently applying it with your fingers. Blushes and bronzers are also easy to blend overtop and this foundation is perfect for all-year round wear.
I don't even need concealer when I apply this and rather than just providing a cover-up layer for imperfections, it actually makes my skin appear flawless.
Despite the price tag, I will always come back to this foundation.

The Nyx Soft Matte Lip Creams are incredible. They go on like a gloss and dry to a nice flexible, matte color that doesn't budge all day. I ate and drank and it was still on my lips. The quality is great and they smell amazing as well!
You can blend it on the lips with your finger for a more muted look or swipe it on with the applicator for a full, bright lip.
These are definitely one of my everyday products and I'll be buying many more shades.

This lipstick offers the most gorgeous deep red and has a great matte finish. I manage to wear it all year round by simply changing my eye makeup and for the price, it's a great dupe for the high-end blood red lipsticks. However, like any other dark, matte lipstick, you do need to touch it up throughout the day, especially if you're eating. I would also recommend using a lip pencil for precision. -

Although it smelled nice, I found that the clear Maybelline Baby Lips Lip Balm didn't do anything for my lips. It didn't work wonders on my chapped lips and rather than sink in and hydrate, I found that it just sat on top of my lips and spread. The wear is not long and you're better off getting an EOS or Nivea Lip Balm for the same price. -

This mascara rivals the Dior DiorShow mascara I lusted after for years. The brush is absolutely massive and gives me voluminous, fluttery lashes with 2 coats. It doesn't clump or flake and it separates my lashes quite nicely. I was not a fan of the other Maybelline Volum' Express mascaras but this one may just be my new holy grail mascara! -
