I still can’t get over the instant smoothing effect of the City Beauty eye lifting treatment. It’s subtle, not dramatic, but enough that my eye makeup applies smoother. And it’s meant to lift and firm the lid over time with continued use.

If you’ve got droopy or hooded lids, save this video, because I think you’ll really like this product!

Two weeks in with the Dib Beauty concealer and it’s earned a permanent spot in my routine. It glides on dry under-eye skin, blends effortlessly, and stays put all day without settling into fine lines. Heads up: this is a lighter-coverage formula, not full coverage, but if you want brightness and a smooth, natural under-eye, this one delivers. Save this for your next beauty haul
I’m in shade 220

If your cream products always look patchy or streaky over 40, this is the brush that fixes it. The Real Techniques Kelli Anne Everything Cream Brush gives you total control to build light, blendable layers and prevent a heavy-handed application. It’s dual, so it works for all of your cream products!

Save this for your next makeup bag refresh. I’ve also been loving the eye set!

Ladies, I found a strapless bra that is actually comfortable! If you haven’t tried a wireless bra yet, I’m telling you, you’re missing out. @underoutfit bras are so comfortable, and actually support larger chests. Plus you can try them risk free with their 180 day return policy! Head to Underoutfit.com and try it yourself!

If you've been looking for an affordable tubing mascara that actually performs, you need to try the Maybelline Lash Sendational Sky Tubes Mascara. I've always been a Maybelline mascara girl so I'm not surprised this one delivered. I loved the length the original Sky High gave my lashes, but it was always such a pain to remove that I never bothered wearing it. Now with the tubing formula, there is no smudging, and it comes right off with warm water. Game changer for my hooded eyes.

Save this for your next drugstore run.
