Maybelline Nudes Of New York Eyeshadow Palette

We say: What would you think if we told you we had 16 different nudes to show you? Would you be alarmed? What if we said some of those nudes were more subtle than the others, whereas some were going to get you all jazzed up for a special occasion?

You’d assume we were referring to Maybelline’s blendable, pigmented and universally-loved eyeshadow palette, right?

You say: “This versatile palette offers a wide range of nude shades with various finishes, including matte, satin, and shimmer, making it an ideal choice for everyday use. With the variety of colors available, you can easily create natural and subtle eye looks for your daily routine.” – Golig

L’Oreal Paris Telescopic Lift Mascara Black Boxed

We say: Now this is wand innovation at its finest. For the first time ever, L’Oreal Paris has introduced a double hook bristle to lengthen, volumise and curl in one effortless swipe.

You say: “This is a must have mascara in anyone’s beauty bag. This product makes your lashes look very long and luscious. I think the way that the wand has been designed is better then a lot of high end mascaras as the application is very smooth.” – belladee

Rimmel Lasting Finish Lip Liner

We say: Everyone has their own perfect nude liner and this one’s ours. For a creamy, transfer-resistant finish that will amplify any natural lip look, you’ll never catch us strolling past the Rimmel shelves without picking up one (or three) pencils in the shade ‘Cappuccino’.

You say: “The lasting power works better if you use it directly on the lips rather than on moisturised lips as it is a little slippery on top of a balm. I’d opt for this affordable option over a MAC lip liner any day.” – kellyrox

L’Oreal Paris Glow Paradise Balm In Lipstick

We say: Once you realise that lipsticks infused with the same conditioning properties of a balm exist, you’ll never look back. What better place to start than this Chantelle Baker-approved L’Oreal Paris Glow Balm In Lipstick.

You say: “It’s really hydrating as well and it leaves a velvety finish that personally I really like. they are very buildable and you can tap for a sheer look and swipe to make it bolder.” – Pink_unicorn

essie Nail Polish

We say: While every essie polish gets a thumbs up from us, it’s ‘Ballet Slippers’ that has made its way onto our must-have list. This sheer pink is considered the little black dress of nail polishes and is beloved by Meghan Markle herself.

You say: “They all looks so beautiful on the nail. they make my nails look super good, sturdy and high quality done. it dries super quickly which is amazing and has little to none bubbles when applied! the brush is so big that it covers all nails in one swip which is so good.” – Zahliamulder

Maybelline New York FIT me! Matte + Poreless Foundation

We say: At the risk of sounding like a broken record, this foundation is truly excellent. Formulated for any greasy girls in the room, Maybelline’s mattifying formulation will minimise the appearance of pores and absorb shine for a soft and airbrushed finish.

You say: “I use this foundation a lot, it blends out so evenly like it’s barely there. I use a foundation brush and it works so well, it doesn’t sink into any of my fine lines and once it dries down it doesn’t transfer. I have combination skin and this foundation still work really good it doesn’t cling to any dry patches.” – Bree
