Recent Beauty Finds

Foundation: Milani conceal and perfect 2 in 1

• I recently purchased this foundation based off a recommendation from a YouTube I follow. Since watching her, i waited patiently for her to share her foundation secrets, and the moment I got the name of the product she uses, I went out and purchased it. I was not disappointed. I absolutely LOVE this foundation. Although it is not completely full coverage, it is totally buildable and you can make it full coverage. It doesn’t crease under my eyes or around the smile lines- something I have a major problem with. If you are looking for a new foundation, I would definitely try this one out! It’s inexpensive and can be bought at any CVS or Walgreens.

Setting Powder: city Airspun loose face powder

• I always had a hard time finding a setting powder that didn’t show up when I took pictures with flash. Ladies (and gentleman I don’t judge), I have finally found the perfect setting power. Airpsun loose face powder not only sets my face perfectly, it stops my skin from getting oily, AND there is no flashback. I really recommend this product which can also be bought at any CVS or Walgreens.

Concealer: Maybelline the eraser perfect and cover

• I have been using this concealer since Freshman year of college, and I refuse to change it. I have tried so many other ones, even dupes for the taste shape tape concealer, but the Maybelline eraser perfect and cover will always be my go to. It’s a full coverage concealer (that sometimes I even use as foundation) that doesn’t crease and feels light on the skin. I definitely recommend using setting powder after applying though, because it will come off a little shiny on the skin.

Mascara: L’Oreal Paris voluminous lash paradise

• One of my closest friends got me into the L’Oreal Paris lash paradise after she saw me using the Better Than Sex Mascara. The Lash paradise is a dupe for Better Than Sex and costs $9.89 at Target. I’ve been using this product ever since my friend told me about it, and i am so glad that she did. I actually prefer this formula over Better Than Sex. My eyelashes are my pride and joy, and I am always receiving complements on them when I wear this mascara.

Skin Care: the Ordinary AHA 30% + BHA 2% peeling solution aka “blood mask”

• I purchased the Ordinary mask after my friend was using it and I saw reviews on Tik Tok. My friend let me try hers, and i have to say, I really love it. I will admit that after applying the mask, my skin burned. You are only supposed to keep the mask on for ten minutes and can only use the mask once a week. What it does is it takes off the dead skin and helps remove blemishes and acne scars. After the ten minutes are up and I wash the mask off, my skin feels completely new and as smooth as a baby’s butt. After using the mask, your skin is sensitive, so make sure you apply sunscreen before going outside. I have used the mask three times, and I can already see a huge difference in my skin!
