Make-Up
M·A·C PRO LOCKED BROW GEL (clear color)
It promises to deliver a 12 hour hold, non flaking wear, conditioning, sweat & humidity resistance. I was hoping this would become one of my favorite products, but it’s just not it. To make this work, you really need to have thicker brows. It made my brow hairs stick together, which meant I had to fill them in. Even though I usually don’t need to.
SUMMER!
If you know me, you'd know how much I love being tanned. I've spent countless summers perfecting my tan, but over the past two years, I’ve become more aware of how damaging the sun can be. That's why I decided to try Coco & Eve's tanning micro mist to get that bronzed glow back—without the UV exposure.
The application is simple: Start with a clean face, spray 3-5 times, enough to cover your face & neck, then let it develop over about six hours.
I did notice occasional uneven pigmentation, which I think might be from spraying too close or just how my skin reacts. I’m still figuring that out.
However, when I tried it on my friend, she was obsessed! Everyone commented on how refreshed & sun-kissed her skin looked, like she’d just returned from a tropical getaway in Mexico.

FAVORITES 💄
Face:
Benefit Tints $47 : My personal favorite is the original Benetint from the picture ⬆️. These tints come in various shades & textures, but be sure to blend them immediately, as they can stain if your skin isn’t well-moisturized.
Tarte Shape Tape Concealer $43: It’s heavier than most concealers, but I don’t mind as long as it provides full coverage. It’s also waterproof & lasts all day.
Makeup Forever Stick Foundation $58: This foundation offers medium coverage, but if you apply enough, it can give full coverage. I have combination skin (both oil & dry), and this formula works perfectly for me.
Makeup Forever HD Skin Longwear $63.50: Promoted as a matte foundation, it doesn’t leave a dry finish, which I love. It offers medium to full coverage with impressive long-lasting wear.
Makeup Forever Full Face HD Cream Palette $119: Available in different shades, I use the one shown ⬆️. It doesn’t last long unless set with powder, but it’s great for travel since it includes concealer, blush, highlighter, & contour in one palette.
Dior Backstage Highlight Palette $65: Every time I wear this, people ask what highlighter I’m using. It has the perfect mix of glitter & shimmer, + my first palette has lasted almost 4 years!
Dior Glow Blush (001 Pink) $55: A soft, subtle pink that adapts to different skin tones. It’s not overly pigmented, which makes blending a breeze.
Lips:
Charlotte Tilbury Pillow Talk Lip Kit $48: CT lip liners are the best—creamy & easy to use. This particular shade is my go-to because it works for literally any occasion.
Too Faced Lip Injection Lip Gloss $39: I’ve tried many lip plumpers, but this is the best by far. It comes in a variety of colors, but just a heads up—it burns a bit!
Eyes:
YSL Mascara $46: I love every YSL mascara, especially the Mascara Volume Effet Faux Cils The Curler. It’s a game-changer for lashes.
Too Faced Lip Injection Lip Gloss $39: I’ve tried many lip plumpers, but this is the best by far. It comes in a variety of colors, but just a heads up—it burns a bit!
