Every product I've tried — the good, the bad, and the ones I'm still finishing just so they don't go to waste.
Catrice
Catrice Liquid Coverage does exactly what it says. Buildable from medium to full coverage, no heavy mask feeling, and it doesn't budge. For under €8 this is kind of ridiculous.
Maybelline New York
This mascara has a fan-shaped brush that looks totally bizarre in the packaging but somehow gives the most gorgeous fanned-out lash look. Full volume, zero clumping, stays put all day — and it's €11.
Rare Beauty
The hype is real. A tiny drop gives the most gorgeous flush — like you just came in from the cold. Builds up beautifully.
CeraVe
SPF in a moisturiser that doesn't leave a white cast? Finally. This is going to be my year-round everyday base.
NYX
Pretty and plumping but doesn't last very long. Good if you want something casual — not great if you want a long-wearing gloss.
Maybelline
The best mascara I've ever used, and I've tried a lot. Lengthens, lifts, doesn't smudge. Drugstore price, luxury results.
Neutrogena
Lightweight, fast-absorbing, actually hydrating. My dry-skin winter saviour and it costs less than a coffee.
Rare Beauty
Stays on forever, looks natural, doesn't dry out my lips. This one is genuinely worth the money.
