Hourglass Vanish Airbrush Concealer: HOLY GRAIL CONCEALER, Y’ALL. Full coverage, extremely lightweight, natural finish that stays all day long. It’s a thinner formula than we have seen before in other concealers, which is a huge plus point since it goes under the eyes. It’s comparable to the Tarte Shape Tape, but much more hydrating. Shade: Fawn (Light Medium, Yellow Undertones).
Hourglass Vanishing Stick Foundation: Stick foundations are the easiest things to put on – no mess, just a few swipes and blend away. Comes in a ton of shades and the creamy formula is great for combo/dry skin. Shade: Sand or Golden for light medium/golden undertone skin.
IT Cosmetics Your Skin But Better Foundation: Super impressed by this – such a lightweight natural finish, really feels like you have nothing on. If you don’t need full coverage and are in the market for a good summer foundation, make sure you give this a try. Great shade range for all our women of color out there too, so there’s something for everyone. Our shade is Medium Warm 35, if you have a similar skin tone to us.
Charlotte Tilbury Setting Powder (Shade 2): This powder has become a staple in our makeup kits. It works so well for setting the delicate under eye area (to avoid creases) and really does give you that flawless airbrushed look. This will not dry you out, which is super hard to come by with settings powders. Will keep buying this again and again! Check out our recent full Charlotte Tilbury post for more CT product breakdowns!
Anastasia Beverly Hills Soft Glam Eyeshadow Palette: PERFECT neutrals for everyday or spice it up for a night time “soft glam” look too! 14 matte + shimmer shades that can work for the inner corner highlight, all over the lid color, crease depth and brow bone highlight – you’ve got it all here, truly. If you’re not ready to invest in the full one, don’t worry boo – we’ve still got you! Try out their cute lil mini eye palette for much less $ with 7 best selling shades from the OG palette + 1 new shade exclusive to the mini.
Fenty Beauty Gloss Bomb Cream Lip Gloss: If you’re not a big lipstick person or don’t enjoy the dry feeling of matte lipstick – this is the one for you! It’s not sticky at all, has high intensity shine with AMAZING color pay off! Seriously, we have not seen a lip gloss with this much creaminess in the color). Plus it looks bomb on all different kinds of skin tones, hence the name (had to throw in a little pun there). Honey Waffles is a honey butter brown with warm apricot undertones & Mauve Wive$ is a rosy purple-y mauve shade with cool undertones. Great for everyday wear and feels fabulous on the lips. To be honest, want to grab every color it comes in but these 2 will have to do for now, haha.
Huda Beauty Power Bullet Lipstick: We have to admit, we became pretty obsessed with this entire line. THE creamiest and most pigmented lipstick formula by far. Ladies – if you have dry lips then this is for you! The “Board Meeting” shade is the prettiest spiced cinnamon mocha shade that looks bomb by itself or topped over pinky or nude liner, one of Pri’s go to’s! “Pay Day” is a dynamic rosy-mauve cool toned shade that is Ani’s favorite. Not gonna lie, considered buying every. single. one. 😂
Laneige Lip Glowy Balm: We have raved about the lip mask before, but its lip balm counterpart is just as good! It’s makes your lips look supple and hydrated, this is our favorite go to for daytime or a no makeup look. We are fans of the Peach, Pear & Berry flavors but you can’t really go wrong since it’s pretty much a sheer to clear color for each one, no matter your natural lip shade.
Ole Henriksen Banana Bright Vitamin C Serum: Vitamin C Serum is a part of our everyday skincare routine and this one is a must have in the lineup. It smells like refreshing light oranges (the good kind, not the I just ate some cuties and now the smell won’t leave kind 😂) and leaves the skin feeling supple and bouncy.
Ole Henriksen Banana Bright Eye Cream: The secret ingredient? Banana Powder. It’s beloved for the yellow pigment that helps counteract the coloring around the eyes, so it’s great to balance dark circles and wears great under makeup. Also packed with collagen and vitamin C to brighten and awaken.
Wishful Yo Glow Facial Enzyme Scrub: It scrubs away your dead skin to leave a fresh, glowy complexion. Exfoliation is a must every week and we have a feeling this will become a staple.
IT Cosmetics Confidence In A Cream Moisturizer: Hydration station for your skin! If you have dry skin, you are going to love this one. Great for day and night to keep the skin feeling good. Don’t forget to work it down to the neck as well!
Olaplex Hair Perfector No. 3: This hair mask is THE best! Use it 1x a week before showering (leave on for around 30 min, then rinse out). Leaves your hair silky smooth and so nourished! Really great for replenishing damage from heat and color.
Living Proof Dry Volume Blast: Y’all – not kidding this is singlehandedly the best volumizing product out there. Gives so much boost and body to to hair. The coolest part is that when you use your fingers to fluff it up, it reactivates throughout the day to give your hair life. TRULY magic in a bottle! Any of you out there that struggle with flat hair or just want to add some oomf – snag this baby! Comes in full and mini sizes (we never go anywhere without it).
Living Proof Perfect Hair Day Dry Shampoo: A dry shampoo that actually feels like it cleans your hair! It really helps extend your hair’s life between washes. Trust on this, don’t sleep on the dry shampoo if you have not started using it in your everyday routine because it has changed our lives for good.
Gisou Honey Infused Hair Oil: Hair oil can feel intimidating at first…I bet you don’t want to turn into a big greaseball right after your fresh shower, right? Well don’t worry, this lightweight oil adds just the right amount of shine and softness to your locks and does not weigh it down at all. You can use it on damp or dry hair to tame and smooth out your ends! The smell is super subtle too. Also the history of this brand is super cool – the founder Negin M. started it from her family owned bee farm.
ILIA Super Serum Skin Tint SPF 40: Love that this has SPF, hyaluronic acid, niacinamide & squaline baked into it for for a glowy, hydrated finish! They just added more “between us” shades to expand their shade offerings which we think is so cool! We are thinking of trying out the 9.5 (medium with golden undertones) which is one of the new releases. We have heard it does oxidize a bit after drying down, so going one shade down may be best here. But we shall report back once it comes in!
Rare Beauty Stay Vulnerable Melting Cream Blush: Have heard great things about this and watched too many YouTube reviews to count 😂 All the shades look great, but leaning towards the “Nearly Mauve” shade. Seems easily blendable, especially with the warmth of the fingers. Side note: wow, the packaging is everything. Looks like a cute little pink button to pop in your purse – it couldn’t be more darling and gives me total barbie vibes!
Huda Beauty Power Bullet Cream Glow Hydrating Lipstick: This new formula immediately caught our eyes upon launch a few days ago 👀 Their original Power Bullet Lipsticks (scroll up to read) is one of our absolute favorites of ALL TIME and a must have for the sale! So we’re eager to try out this new hydrating, creamy formula with the same pigment kick. Leaning towards the shade “Angel“, a light neutral baby pink to try out! Other shades that stuck out: “Sweet Cheeks” (medium nude mauve), “Baby Face” (medium nude plum), “Hustla” (Medium True Nude).
Huda Beauty Lip Contour 2.0: It’s turning into a Huda Beauty fan page over here but that’s okay since we admire her brand and products so much 😂 This is a new & improved formula just launched! They completely revamped the original version, which was their first launch ever 5 years ago…how crazy is that?! This one is said to be packed with color, creamy and slide on oh so seamlessly. Loving the universally flattering shades too, our favorites look like “Muted Pink” & “Terracotta“.
Iconic London Illuminator Liquid Highlight: Truly, liquid highlight is where it’s at for us these days! it gives the face a much more natural, lit from within glow. Sometimes, powder can feel like it’s sitting on top of the face and liquids seamlessly melt into the skin, especially with the warmth of the fingers. Normally cover FX is our go to, but have heard raving reviews about this brand! Champagne would likely be our shade, but there’s rosy and richer bronze ones, depending on your skin tone.
IT Cosmetics Confidence In A Neck Cream: Tech neck is a real thing, LOL. Being on our phones and laptops cause us to look down a lot and form these lines. Genetically, these lines can be on the neck as well. This is supposed to help the appearance of of those over time, so we are intrigued!
Glow Recipe Watermelon Niacinamide Dew Drops: A hydrating serum that’s supposed to give a youthful, dewy, glowy complexion. Sign us up! We are big fans of Glow Recipe already (fun fact: we got to hear the founders speak at a masterclass at Sephoria 2019, yes — it’s a makeup convention for beauty lovers like us 💋).
