The colour goes really well with my skin, and adds a nice warmth. I got it on sale, so I figured why not? and I was pleasantly surprised. It's buildable and not too sparkly, but it doesn't last that long.

Mascara -Cover Girl - Lash Blast Volume

Having thin, sparse, Asian lashes, a good mascara is hard to come by. I've been using this for a while, and it's alright in terms of volumizing and holding a curl, but doesn't do anything in terms of lengthening. I mainly tend to use it as a base on my lashes, then apply other mascaras over top and it works great! By the way, if anyone has any good drugstore mascara suggestions for barely-there lashes, message me!

I have been using this for years and I must say, IT'S MAGIC. I put it on my lips and on any dry patches on my skin (including my face), especially in the winter months. It just absorbs right up! Honestly, it's like a miracle worker. Just don't put too much on otherwise your skin will look greasy. I usually apply it at night, and in the morning I am completely moisturized.

This was the first piece of makeup I ever got, and I've been using it forever. My skin is sensitive and I can't just throw anything onto my face, but contrary to what a lot of other people say, this does not dry my skin or make me break out. The colour is perfect for me during most months (I'm an NC43) and it's the best match that I've found. I think in terms of making skin look "matte" like promised, it doesn't do that well of a job, but it is definitely provides good coverage while still looking natural.

Primer/ Corrector -Rimmel - Hide The Blemish Concealer in Ivory 001

I actually use this concealer in the Golden Beige shade. Regardless, it was okay in terms of covering blemishes and dark circles, especially considering the price, but it dried out my skin really badly and was incredibly greasy. The convenient packaging is probably the only good part about this concealer.
