"Currently I'm obsessing over everything in Rihanna's new makeup line, but I absolutely love this lip gloss. It's the perfect opacity with just enough shimmer, isn't sticky at all, and has such a delicious scent. The sheer rose color truly does look beautiful on every skin tone! Definitely my go-to gloss for all jobs I've been working recently."
"There is something so magical about this highlighter! It has a beautiful golden sheen that stays dewy when you apply it. Also, this particular highlighter photographs perfectly under all lighting scenarios."
"This mascara is what I use on myself to get ultra-long, dark, feathery lashes. It has a really cool wand, which bends on different angles to reach smaller areas on the lash line. But what I love about it most is the formulation and brush. You can coat your lashes endlessly and it won't clump up at all!"
