I have the gold (#22) as well.
I think I now have one in every purse.
They feel like a dream, and are, just the perfect trio of shades.

Few have impressed me as much as the Kosas Cloud Set.
And the one that has remained a staple?
This humble L’Oreal Paris Telescopic Original Lengthening Mascara.
Some people don’t leave the house with SPF; I don’t leave without mascara.
I have yet to find a product as effective as Maybelline’s Sky High mascara.
The fact that it’s budget-friendly just happens to be a great bonus!

My most recent go-to is Makeup Forever in color 608 Limitless Brown.
It’s truly one of those versatile makeup must haves that work on a range of skin tones.
When in a pinch, I use it for contour, eyeliner, and lip color in one go.
So so vibrant right off the bullet, I find it to be really the best red.
Ill apply it whenever my lips feel dry, which is often.
No wonder its practically finished!
Especially for us brown-skinned girls who need deep hues that match our undertones.
Whenever I’m without it, I miss it desperately.
It adds length, volume, and just enough drama.
It’s also easy to remove, which is very important to me.
I love that it provides full yet natural coverage, for days when I want to skip foundation altogether.
Lips are instantly juicy and all of the shades are just a pinch of color, so pretty.
Ive been loyal to Saies Hydrabeam for a long time.
It brightens, doesnt pill, and works as a spot concealer when needed.
With mauvish-grey undertones that beautifully offset the red.
I also love the refillable metallic tubeits discreet touch ups on the subway when on school run.
Need I say more?
My favorite is Anastasia Beverly Hills liquid lipstick in American Doll.
I love the transparent shade because its easy to apply, incredibly lightweight, and blends in effortlessly.
