I occasionally lose interest when people just chat about their favorite products so I tried a double-time get ready with me video! I don’t generally single out products and consider them my most loved items but I will use the same makeup over and over again. Those count as favorites, right??

I hope you enjoy the video linked below. I’ve also linked all the products I mentioned as well. Apologies on the blurriness. I didn’t sit close enough to the camera and the focus was finicky!
