I could talk and play with makeup all day. Having been obsessed with makeup for so many years that comes with finding and knowing some of the best products. I have made a list of my top favorite products for each step of a makeup routine, but with a twist. Not only will you be getting one of my favorite products per step, I am giving you 2! One product will be a drugstore item, meaning it is cheaper, but just as good if not better than the high-end product. The other item will be from the high-end side, meaning it cost more. Both are my top picks for their price categories. I hope you are able to get some of these products, and find some new favorites for you!
I highly recommend all of these products, BUT if you would like to know which one I prefer over the other, comment the category and I will tell you which one. For example: Comment “Foundation” and I will comment either “Drugstore” or “High-End”.
Disclaimer: All prices below may vary. Amazon is known for their deals, and that means that at the time that I made this post they either may have went on sell or just came off.

Thank you for supporting me, and happy shopping!!
