It easily gets rid of all the makeup and dirt on my skin, and the best part is that it’s gentle enough for sensitive skin.”
Price: $49
Powder Kiss Liquid Lip Colour, MAC Cosmetics
“This liquid lipstick formula is my all-time favorite. I have dry lips, so I’m usually intimidated by liquid lipsticks, but this one has amazing color payoff, lasts all day, and doesn’t dry out my lips. My favorite shade is Date-Maker.”

Mini Petite Trace Cream Contour Stick in Biscuit, Westman Atelier
“Dare I say, this is the perfect contour stick? I often use it instead of bronzer and even as eyeshadow for achieving a no-makeup makeup look. For everyday use and travel, I prefer the weight of the mini size.”

Price: $66
Almost Lipstick in Black Honey, Clinique

Price: $50
Lash Idôle, Lancôme
“To be completely honest, I don’t know how I slept on this mascara for so long. Although it’s a tried-and-true favorite for many, it recently became a top member in my beauty routine. The instant falsie look lasts all day and night, and there’s nothing better than when someone asks what mascara you use. Lash Idôle always stirs up a conversation.”
Price: $39
Melt Awf Jelly Oil Cleanser, Fenty Skin
“With every cleanse, I can feel all the grit and dirt stripping off my face. It also has an incredible scent and is surprisingly light for an oil cleanser, which I love. It’s perfect for pairing in a double cleanse routine!”
