ILIA Eye Stylus Shadow Stick - Long-Lasting Cream Eyeshadow

ILIA Eye Stylus Shadow Stick - Long-Lasting Cream Eyeshadow ($32; sephora.com) is one of my most used, versatile, bendable cream eye shadows that's been on rotation the past couple of months. I love the mix of matte and shimmery finishes and how easy it is to use as a one and done shadow. The texture is creamy, yet blenable and doesn't set immediately, but once set, doesn't budge.

 

Some of the neutrals, especially the mattes, work great as an eyeshadow base as well. The mattes have a smooth, satin texture that isn't drying and doesn't enhance the dry skin on my lids, which I love. Relic is one of my favorites from the matte range that I reach to almost everyday and is the perfect chocolate brown for fall. The shimmers are stunning when used by themselves and blend beautifully with fingers or a fluffy eyeshadow brush. The mix of golds and bronzers make these the perfect neutral for just about any skin tone. I also like how long wearing these are and the colors also double up as eyeliners as well. Overall, highly recommend these if you love neutrals, quick eye shadows and want an easy, clean look for everyday! Scroll below for photo and video swatches.

Revolution Beauty Superdewy Liquid Blush Burst And Pout Lip Gloss Stick

Revolution Beauty is a fabulous brand where I've recenty discovered some great products that are budget friendly. I recently tried two of their spring/summer launches and highly recommend both if you are looking for a quick and easy way to add color to your makeup bag. The Superdewy Liquid Blush Burst ($9; ulta.com) is a super bendable, easy to use blush that comes in gorgeous colors. The texture is very mousse-like and blends to perfection with fingers or a brush. I love how it doesn't enhance skin texture and looks super natural and slightly dewy on the skin. Both shades I tried were very flattering for my skin tone and since these are very pigmented, a little bit goes a really long way. The Pout Lip Gloss Stick ($9; ulta.com) is a pigmented lipgloss in a stick that comes in creme and shimmer finishes. The colors are very saturated and I like to sheer them out just a little bit. These do work better when paired with a lip liner and the glassy shine is beautiful. They are a little too creamy and can melt in hot weather. That apart, for the price, they are a steal.

Armani Beauty Luminous Silk Cheek Tint Blush

Armani Beauty's Luminous Silk Cheek Tint ($39; sephora.com) is a fabulously blendable liquid blush that has been my go to recently for a quick and easy minimal makeup look. Its a super lightweight formula with a gel-like liquid texture that is easy to apply and blend with fingers or a brush. The colors look very pigmented, but sheer out to a really nice, natural glow that looks like a satin finish on the skin. Bold Pink is a cool toned pastel pink with slight blue tone, Rosy Peach is a, fresh light peach with a hint of orange, Vivid Coral is a peachy coral that is bold, but very wearable for most skin tones and Delicate Mauve is a mauve-plum that sheers out to a not so bold berry. The formula is thin, the wand is perfect for a few dabs of product and the packaging is easy to travel with as well. 

I love the natural flush that comes from these blushes and the ease of application even for a blush noob. My skin is on the drier side and this is a perfect formual for someone like me that doesn't emphasize my texture. Overall, if you like lightweight, quick and easy to use blushes in a smooth formula, I would highly recommend these! Scroll down for swatches and a quick video of these fabulous blushes!
