Hidden gems (underrated inexpensive makeup)! Part I

These are the things that no one ever talks about in the beauty community that I think deserve more hype! I'm only mentioning 2 right now because I'm really trying to include only things that I really like/suggest buying and whatnot.

1. E.l.f. all over color stick in spotlight: $1

Yep, $1! This shade acts as a highlighter. It's an almost-white color and you can swipe it on and blend it in with your fingers. What I like about this as a highlighter is that it's not frosty or too shimmery, it just gives your cheeks a nice sheen. It's a really good simple, inexpensive highlighter. It might not highlight to extremes, but it is noticeable in my opinion.

2. Maybelline shine free oil control powder: around $5

I've only heard one other person in the beauty community talk about this (emilynoel83). I randomly bought this one day without knowing anything about it and it's been basically the only powder that actually does anything good for my skin. I've tried more popular powders that didn't seem to do anything for my skin or even made it more oily! I'm so glad I found this one. Though it comes in a few different shades, it's basically translucent. I do still have to touch up throughout the day but that's just my oily skin's fault. This has been the best powder I've found. It comes in both a pressed form and a loose form.

That's all for today!
