Neutrogena is definitely one of my favorite brand. I love how it not only has all the skin and hair products I need but also makeup, especially foundations and lip products with SPF. And the best of all, they are all good and affordable. However, I am kind-a bummed the newer sunscreens sting my eyes. Anyway, everything here are the ones I have thoroughly enjoyed using and would gladly recommend anytime 😊

Charlotte tilbury's Beauty Highlighter Wand is a liquid highlighter wand that illuminates the face. The Shade Pillow Talk gives a soft rose gold highlight.
Makeup Revolution's Bright Light Highlighter comes with a similar sponge applicator to dab onto the tops of the cheek bones, down the bridge of the nose, above the brow bone or on your cupid's bow to illuminate the high points of the face. The shade gives a soft mettalic pink highlight and looks identical to Pillow talk after application.

So glad came up with a new and improved packaging for their contour highlight duo, the "Wonder Stick Cream Highlight & Contour Stick" because there was just too many fake and copies around.
This buildable creamy formula allows you to customize your look with ease making this the perfect contouring stick for beginners. Featuring contour and highlighter, this super face shaping duo sculps your face structure while mimicking a sunlit glow.

A budget friendly option would be Rimmel London's Insta Duo Contour Stick, a simple double-ended stick that makes contouring quick & easy. The 2-in-1 stick shapes the face & enhances definition. The contour side is really easy to blend and apply, and the highlighter side gives the perfect everyday glow.

Neutrogena Hydroboost Hydrating Serum
(Review):

👉Price: USD 18.5+/-, NPR 2800+/-
👉 A nice Hyaluronic acid based moisturizing serum, dries down in 15-20 seconds
👉 love the pump packaging, don't have to worry about spillage or contamination
👉 can be used alone as a moisturizer for normal/ combination/ oily skin for those who find Neutrogena Hydroboost gel cream moisturizer a bit heavy
- But, for those with dry skin, use it before a hydrating sunscreen in the morning and before a heavy moisturizer for night time.
👉light fragrance, the smell isn't over-powering but if you are allergic to fragrance then avoid this.
⭐ Ingredient Highlights:
- Hydration and repair: Glycerin, Hyaluronic acid, Dimethicone, sodium lactate, Sodium PCA.
- Olivem 1000: moisturizing and anti-ageing.
- Chondrus crispus Extract: hydrating, acts as an anti-oxidant and helps protect skin from the effects of blue light
- Portulaca oleracea extract: contains peptides and humectants, skin soothing, anti-inflammatory, antioxidant rich in minerals, vitamin A, C and E and Glutathione thus also helping in skin rejuvenation.

Always On Longwear Matte Liquid Lipstick is a waterproof, liquid-matte lipstick with a velvety-matte finish that is infused with a primer oil; a blend of jojoba, apricot, and sunflower oils, that keep lips comfortable complex for a comfortable, non-drying, and weightless feel and won‘t feather, bleed, or cake.
👉The shade Bawse is a bright deep red color and is a universally flattering shade. It says transfer resistant but it definitely was all over the place as it moved around under my mask 😷 I still haven't found a red lipstick that stays put under a mask 🤦‍♀️

Another similar bright deep red color that doesn't burn a hole in your pocket is the Rimmel London STAY MATTE LIQUID LIP COLOUR in the shade Fire starter. Rimmel London STAY MATTE LIQUID LIP COLOUR is also a Bold matte/ Kiss-proof/ Touch-proof/ Waterproof liquid lipstick with high intensity colour and velvet matte finish. It contains Hyaluronic acid, Vitamin C, Vitamin E and peptides and doesn't dry out your lips.

👉Dry/ Sensitive/ Sensitized skin savior:

- CeraVe Hydrating Facial cleanser: non-foaming, non-drying cleanser that contains ceramides and hyaluronic acid which can help to repair impaired barrier function.

- CeraVe moisturizing cream: Contains Glycerin, Hyaluronic acid, Ceramides, Vit E (Tocopherol), Petrolatum. Great moisturizer to prevent trans-epidermal water loss, repair damaged barrier and in my opinion, suitable for all skin types, even oily acne prone, especially if you are using retinol/ Retinoid or anti-acne actives.

👉Mac's Ruby Woo is a deep, more muted red with blue undertones with matte finish and is flattering on any skin tones. Note: the formulation can be a bit drying so make sure to moisturize your lips well before applying. This is a very good staple red that anyone can pull off so if you're going to invest in a single red, this one won't let you down.

👉But if you want a similar shade which doesn't feel drying and also doesn't hurt your wallet, check out Loreal Paris Colour Riche Collection Exclusive Red Lipcolour in the Shade 402/ Blake's Red aka Devil's Matte-vocate Red. This is a lightweight, non-drying, matte lipstick that has a rich red color with blue undertones.
It does have a floral scent to it so if that bothers you, skip this.

Neutrogena Clear Pore Cleanser/Mask (Review)

👉 a cleanser/ mask with 3.5% Benzoyl Peroxide, can be used as a daily facial cleanser to prevent/ treat clogged pores and to kill acne causing bacteria; or as an intensive mask for deep cleansing and extra shine control or even as a spot treatment for hormonal acne.
👉NPR 1800+/-
👉 suitable for: oily skin or acne prone skin/ Hormonal acne

⭐ Ingredient highlights:
✅3.5% Benzoyl Peroxide: lower concentration so less irritation but works effectively to treat/ prevent acne/ clogged pores
✅Glycerin: Humectant
✅Kaolin & Bentonite: Shine control

👉Note:
➡️For beginners of Benzoyl Peroxide, start slow, preferably once to twice a week and then increase frequency as tolerated.
➡️Can stain/ bleach clothes so make sure you are avoiding contact with your clothes while using this.
➡️Benzoyl Peroxide can cancel/decrease efficacy of Retinol/ Tretinoin and Vitamin C on leave-on forms. Studies are limited with wash off products like cleansers/ mask. Use it on different routines if you don't want to take that risk and if your skin is prone to dryness/ irritations.

Eucerin Daily Hydration Cream Broad Spectrum SPF 30 (Review):

💬 hydrating, fragrance-free, broad-spectrum organic/chemical sunscreen, can be used both on face and body. It has a creamy texture with a dewy finish, didn't sting my eyes nor gave any white cast. I liked it even though I have oily/ combination skin but since it has a heavier texture, people with dry skin would prefer it for the face and for body, any skin type can use it as it dries down pretty quickly and doesn't leave a sticky or greasy feeling.

👉Consistency: creamy
👉Broad spectrum, SPF 30.
👉Chemical filters: Avobenzone, Homosalate, Octisalate, Octocrylene
👉Not water resistant
👉Suitable for: For face: dry skin, sensitive skin. Avoid if acne prone. For body: all skin types.
