What’s amazing about this blush is that it is not “too pigmented”. It does not blotch or weirdly grab onto your foundation. It is very buildable and gives you flexibility with applying it. It gives the perfect rosy cheeks without overdoing it. One of the most demanded shades is number 10 Peach Me Up!. If you are in the market for a beautiful matte blush, this is you it.

The name of this bronzer describes the brozer perfectly. It has a buttery feel to it and melts into the skin beautifully. It ties the whole makeup look together and gives that bronzed look. It also gives a very healthy color to your face, which everyone loves. An addition to the formula of this bronzer is the scent. It makes you feel like you are on a tropical island sipping on a pina colada.

I stumbled across this product during my trip to turkey this summer. And I did not wear anything but it the whole trip. The formula is very light weight, it is not sticky, it is very long lasting, it does not transfer, and the color range is phenomenal. The color range has the perfect undertones and perfect shades so everyone can find something for their liking. For example, the shade 002 is one of the most perfect nude pink shades that suits all skin tones, and the shade 005 is more of a bolder pink shade. Try getting your hands on them whenever you can!

5. Liquid Ink Eyeliner by Essence (11 AED)

What most people look for in an eyeliner is one that does not bleed, does not crack, does not budge or move, and also that is long lasting and pitch black. This liner ticks all the boxes. It is close to nothing when it comes to price and does the job perfectly. The brush makes it easy to create a wing that can cut objects in half!

These products are holy grail products that can be found in your local pharmacy or supermarket. So try getting your hands around them and try them for yourself!
