Lancôme BiFacil – my favorite eye makeup remover at the moment. I use this before using cleansing balm, I feel like using both is much easier on my eyes and gets everything off.
Givenchy Prisme Libre (shade #2) – favorite face powder. I also have shade #1 but don’t use it much since that shade isn’t as flattering. I have combo/oily skin and love this powder, if you have dry skin I think it’s still great but you’d probably have to use a lighter hand with it.
Danessa Myricks Blurring Balm Powder (Universal) – I use this as a primer, it helps keep my skin from turning into an oil slick midday. The packaging can be annoying, as that little coke spoon in the top does NOT stay put. I just remove it and take out the product with my hand like a common feral.
Tarte Timeless Smoothing Primer (mini size) – my favorite pore spackle. I use this underneath the DM balm powder. I would recommend only buying the mini, as it takes a while to get through. If I bought the bigger size it might have dried out before I had the chance to finish it.
Peripera Ink Mood Glowy Tint (#10) – favorite tint in my favorite shade. The other shades in this line end up too vibrant/dark on me but this one is a true MLBB as long as I don’t layer it on like a loon. I have more pigmented lips but this still shows up nicely.
Farmacy Green Clean – HG cleansing balm. I love the smell. I do use the Bifacil first on my eyes since rubbing this too much around my eyes can make my vision a little blurry, but that happens to me with all cleansing balms. I’ve already repurchased the jumbo size (but that size is less convenient since the jumbo spatula doesn’t store away in the lid of the container like the regular size).
Round Lab Birch Juice Sunscreen – love this sunscreen. It also goes great under makeup and is pretty moisturizing. It does leave a slight cast on my skin but the cast does go away after 15m or so. I have lighter skin though so if your complexion is medium or darker you may want to try in a store first if you’re planning to wear it on its own with no makeup.
Peach and Lily Glass Skin Refining Serum – bought this during an ulta 50% off sale. It worked fine, nothing miraculous. I use tazorac gel and I’d say that has way more bang for your buck. if you can find it on sale it’s nice, but otherwise not at all worth full price.
Dieux Air Angel – love this moisturizer, it’s a new favorite of mine. It’s not heavy and my skin does feel “plumper” after using it. It’s great especially for summer, hydrating but not heavy. On the expensive side, but not as bad as it could be. I wish it was refillable the way their eye cream is. I could be crazy but I almost feel like it smells like apple pie filling? Only by coincidence though since that’s obviously not what it’s “meant” to smell like.
Wellage Real Hyaluronic Blue Ampoule – really nice HA serum, very simple and not too expensive. Usually available in two packs on OY, Stylevana, etc. Feels similar to Torriden Dive In.

SKIN1004 Hyalu-Cica Water-fit Sun Serum – couldn’t take a photo of this one because I opened the container to scoop out the remains and then tossed it. Another favorite sunscreen of mine, I usually wear this one when I’m not putting makeup over it (although it works under makeup very nicely too). It’s less heavy/thick than the Round Lab and not quite as moisturizing, but that makes it perfect for summer. The pump is real annoying though, so be prepared to slice her open towards the end 🔪
