I don’t know if these are still being sold but the LA Girls Pro Artistry and Mastery palettes are so good!! The shadows are so creamy and smooth. They are so worth it!! If you wear glitter the JCat Vanity Goddess pigments are so good!!! I have a few ( the one store by me took out all their makeup and that’s where I bought JCat -The Christmas Tree Shops) LA Girl Nudist palette is another one to check out. Just a nice simple nude. Has the basics. The other palettes in that line are average. Zabrena reviewed them few years back I think.

I love the Milani Secret Cover Concealer. I use it for my face, not under eyes. It comes in a pot and I don't see it mentioned in YT reviews.

Please play more with the L.A. Girl palettes and eyeliners! I'm definitely considering using up some of my Ulta gift cards and looking at what is missing from my collection. It's the perfect drugstore mascara and some more colorful eyeliners. I've tried so many affordable mascaras lately and most of them are just fine, but they don't reach the buildable volume of my BareMinerals Lashtopia or It Cosmetics Superhero. And of course cruelty free. I have really fine lashes so some products just do not build up well. 😩 The drama. Haha.
