Favorite Beauty products
Quite often, I get asked where and what types of products I use and like. Thus, I made a list of my favorite things. It’s a reference page for all the things that I love and use often.
Cosmetics
Cosmetics: Blush
The Balm cosmetics Hot Mama! Shadow/Blush, Subtle Highlighter, Peachy-Pink Shade, 0.25 Ounce. This is the only blush that blends well into my skin and it stays all day.
Cosmetics: Foundation
Shiseido UV Protective Compact Foundation SPF 36 (Fair Ivory / SP01) When I use this foundation, my skin looks brighter and refreshed all day.
Cosmetics: Lipstick
MAC Satin Lipstick (See Sheer B79 520). This color is so natural on my yellow base olive skin.
Cosmetics: Lipstick
Maybelline Super Stay Matte-Ink Liquid Lipstick. Color #130. I love that it stays all day without fussing over my lip color. The only thing is my lips get very dry so I have to make sure I put lip moisture once it is dry.

Cosmetics: Eyeliner
Simply Bella Drip And Draw 24H - Waterproof Eyeliner. I love this eyeliner but it’s so hard to find. I have oily skin and most waterproof eyeliners spread around my eyes except this eyeliner.
Cosmetics: Mascara
Maybelline Volum' Express the Falsies Volumizing, Washable Mascara, Blackest Black. I have a very short lash and it is the only one that makes my lashes look long and fuller looking.
Hair Products
Hair: Temporary Hairstyle Wax with color
MOFAJANG Natural Hair Coloring Dye Wax in Orange Gold Instant Hair Wax, Temporary Hairstyle Cream 4.23 oz. I use just a little bit to add a golden highlight to my hair. A little bit goes a long way to add highlight but if I want to add more blond in my hair color I do have to put a lot in my hair to make it blonder. The wax keeps my hair in place and once dry my color stays and does not rub off. But I can easily wash it off in the shower if I get tied to the color.
Hair: Shampoo
BLACK BEAN ANTI-HAIR LOSS SHAMPOO. For the first sign of hair loss, I use this and saw the result in a couple of weeks.
TRESemme Hair Spray
Simple hair spray but it holds well.
Nail Products
Nail Care: Nail Polish
Nature Republic Color & Nature Nail Color, 8 ml / 0.27 fl. oz. Color #19 Cozy Pink. You will never get bored of nail colors with this small bottle of nail polish. It is the perfect price and size to change your color before you get bored by them.
Nail Care: Dryer
Nail Enamel Dryer Spray
I like to use a nail enamel dryer spray after polishing my nails before bed to make sure my nail is dry before bedtime. I do not have a brand that I favor. Just any nail enamel dryer spray will work just fine.
