Coty Airspun's Loose Face Powder in Translucent retails for U.S. $5.97 on Walmart's website. Note: this product does come with a sifter for the powder, I just removed mine for easier access. On Walmart's website it states, "Powder lying evenly And flat on your skin, long lasting, dermatologically tested, air for cloud like softness." In my opinion this powder is awesome for setting your under eye and baking, but the scent is overwhelming so if that bothers you this product is so not for you. This product contains 65g of product, which is so much product for such a low price compared to the Laura Mercier translucent powder which retails for $38.00 for only 29g worth of product. This product does have a white undertone even though it translucent (every setting powder does) which may bother people but if you want a highlighted under eye try getting the Coty Airspun Loose Face Powder in a different peachy shade which they do sell (this powder comes in various shades). I give this product a 8/10 instead of 10 because of the heavy scent. Go buy it if you're on a budget, it's really good!

NYX Cosmetic's Lip Lingerie Liquid Lipsticks are one of the best liquid lipsticks available in the drugstore! They retail for U.S. $6.99 each, these products are also available at Ulta Beauty. They contain 0.13 oz worth of product, shown above is Ruffle Trim and Exotic (favorite shade ever on every skin tone!) (swatches are the opposite colors). On Ulta's website it states, "Slip into something seductive with NYX Cosmetics' Lip Lingerie Liquid Lipstick, a weightless liquid lipstick with a plush matte finish. Available in a range of color-kissed nudes, each sultry shade will coat the curves of your lips with irresistibly creamy color." These Lip Lingerie Liquid Lipsticks offer gorgeous pale to deep nudes and are a total dupe formula wise for the Tarte Tarteist Creamy Matte Lip Paint which retail for $20.00, its a whipped formula. These liquid lipsticks last 6-8 hours on the lips. I would highly recommend this (10/10) it wears beautifully but some people did complain about this product because they've received a bad batch so it could be a hit or miss. Overall, this is so worth it.

Wet N Wild's MegaGlo Contouring Palette retails for U.S. $4.99, they're in available in 2 shades, Caramel Toffee (shown above) and Dulce De Leche. Caramel Toffee is a warm contouring palette and Dulce De Leche is a cool tone contouring palette (I recommend this one because when you want to contour you want to work with a grey undertone shade) I use the one on the right for bronzing purposes. These were released way back when but now came back with a new formula! Carmel Toffee can be a total dupe for Marc Jacobs Beauty Light Filtering Contour Powder in the shade light gold/ light bronze that sells for $49.00. This MegaGlo Contouring Palette from Wet N Wild is cruelty free and contains 0.44 oz/12.5 g of product which great. I use the banana shade to highlight my under eyes, be aware that when you dip your brush into the powders it does kick up a lot of product, this product is highly pigmented, blendable and soft to the touch. I give this product a 9/10 only because this product does kick up powder other than that these powders work amazingly and great if you're on a budget! You can find these on Wet n Wild's website or any drugstore near you.

I give this product a 10/10, if you love warm eye looks this palette is for you!

The light powders (top row) is meant highlight and to bring your faces' appearance forward and the shades (bottom row) are to contour and enhance your bone structure and bring your appearance back. Kat Von D has her own website where she sells her cosmetics but other than that her line is exclusive to Sephora. On Sephora's website it says how this Shade + Light Contour Palatte are formulated without Parabens, Sulfates and Phthalates. Kat Von D's line is vegan as well. Honestly, this is my favorite contour palette ever! Each shades are so soft and pigmented so be careful when dipping your brush into the powders, you just need the slightest amounts. I mix the bottom two shades Sombre and Shadowplay as a contour shade for me but if I want a really chiseled appearance I go ahead and mix in the shade Subconscious. I use the top middle light shade to highlight my face where I applied my concealer. 10/10 would recommend, this palette is like butter, its amazing and universal!

Left to right are the Infallible Eyeshadows in Iced Latte, Amber Rush, Bronzed Taupe and Eternal Sunshine (this shade could be a dupe for Half Baked from the Urban Decay Naked palatte), there are many more eyeshadows in this line! Even though it's kinda pricey for a single shade from the drugstore its so worth the price! These shadows are so pigmented you wouldn't believe it and it stays on the eyelid for a such a long time, they're velvety to the touch and easy to blend out. Even on Ulta's website it states, "Infallible Eyeshadows provides sweatproof, waterproof, crease resistant wear with velvet- soft texture that blends easily, providing luminous color with a smooth, even finish." I 100% agree with this claim, these L'oréal Infallible Eyeshadows are even better than some high end eyeshadows themselves! 10/10 I would obviously recommend, this is a must add on to your collection!
