hey cuties!! today, I thought I would dive into the beauty world. some of you might be wondering about my credentials for giving these reviews, which is completely fair with SO many reviewers out there. I practically was a beauty youtube student. I watched the OGS- yes, I am talking about nikki tutorials, manny mua, patrick star, etc. I would watch video after video and try my best at makeup. through this, I was able to perfect my craft and have been doing so for over 10 years... so I have tried A LOT of makeup and it is my passion.


anyways let's get into it! side note: some of these products might have come out before 2023 but I tried them in 2023... if that makes sense lol


1. haus labs foundation

where to find it: haus labs foundation

price: $45.00 (I know she is a steep price :( )

my skin type: dry, acne-prone with redness


girlllll this is my FAVORITE FAVORITE foundation. not only is the finish gorgeous, but the shade range is SICKENING (51 shades!). I am a pale girl, and the color match is PERFECT. because I am so pale, I struggle with finding shades that aren't too orange/yellow or dark for my complexion. so slay with their shade range.


beyond shade range, the wear on this is insane. I will insert a pic to show you an all day wear test. I find that cream products work beautifully with this and they all just blend so seamlessly.


9 hours of wear with this foundation!!

2. bobbi brown vitamin enriched face base primer moisturizer

price: full size $69.00, mini $25.00 (I have the mini)


you know when there is a product that you have heard about FOREVERRR and it is always raved about but you don't believe it? well, this was that product for me. I saw all the influencers posting it and thought that it can't be THAT good... well it is 😭 which lowkey makes me sad because of the price.


it is SO good that it has replaced my other primers. the consistency is a cream/balm texture. I have really dry skin, so it hydrates it and makes my skin feel so plump. I have noticed that my makeup has lasted longer and doesn't look cakey. I seriously have fallen in love with this primer.


I used the primer with this lewkkk

3. patrick ta blush

where to find it: patrick ta blush

price: $38.00


this is another product that I didn't think would be THAT good, but it is. I love this blush because it has powder and cream. It is a basically a two in one- girl mathhhh. no, but seriously, I get the most airbrushed blush. let me show you a pic






4. tower 28 mascara

where to find it: tower 28 mascara

price: $20.00

OR alternative: loreal telescopic

price: $12.00


I naturally have long lashes, but I struggle with them falling throughout the day and not getting a good lift. this mascara is amazing, and I have gone through 3 bottles already... I use this pretty much every single time I get ready.


I look like a deer in headlights with this pic lol, but this is the DIFFERENCE it makes!!! no other mascara compares... the only one I could consider close is l'oreal telescopic mascara.

5. it brush bath

where to find it: it brush bath


this technically isn't makeup, but it is a beauty product I use consistently. I used to not really clean my brushes (EWW I know), and I decided I would change that. so last year, I found this brush bath by it cosmetics, and it is amazing. it got rid of stains on my brushes and made them smell so clean and good. I am on the last bits of the soap and I am sad because it is sooo good.


I would include a picture of mine, but not going to lie. It looks really crusty... hahaha
