My March 2022 Makeup Wishlist (top 15 products I wanna try)
Hello people of Tumblr! Long time no speak.. I kinda abandoned this blog because of my hectic schedule and a lot of things happening since I started it (for one, a global pandemic… for two, graduation from college and going to do my masters… and for three, my internship taking up so much of my time), but I thought I would come back for a bit since I finally got a day off without stressing over other work I needed to do��� so here is a fun little post about 20 makeup products I really want to try and why, let’s get started:
1. Mac Macstack Mascara
Ok so I never would have thought I’m including a product from Mac in here but here we are… I’m usually never interested in Mac but seeing it go viral on TikTok and how much volume it gives people, I really wanted to try it. It comes with a mega and micro brush, but the mega one fits my needs when it comes to a mascara more, which is volume, since I already have naturally long lashes. It is $28 at Ulta
2. Makeup by Mario Soft Pop Powder Blush
https://www.sephora.com/product/makeup-by-mario-soft-pop-powder-blush-P472325?skuId=2449742
(Specifically in the shades Mellow Mauve, Creamy Peach, and Desert Rose)
Ok, so I already own the Makeup by Mario bronzer that comes in the exact same packaging (see link above), and I really enjoy it, so smooth and blendable and can last a really long time. So, the blushes have intrigued me and I have heard nothing but good things about them (again on TikTok, it will be a common theme here with what I want.. TikTok is a huge influence). They are $24 at Sephora.
3. Nars Light Reflecting Foundation
Another one bites the dust with products TikTok inspired me to get, but this one in particular is because of Mikayla. This foundation looks so beautiful on her skin and all the claims/traits of this one is just the kinds of foundations I’m looking for and I am very picky with foundation (you’ll see not a lot of foundations make this list, I’m very selective with that category). It costs $49 at both Sephora and Ulta.
4. Fenty Beauty Bright Fix Eye Brightner Concealer
https://www.sephora.com/product/fenty-beauty-rihanna-bright-fix-eye-brightener-concealer-P472161
(Specifically in the shades Butter, Melon, Crepe, and Seashell)
I feel like a broken record but again this was inspired by TikTok, I have been looking for a good brightening concealer, since I tried the LA Girl one and it didn’t work out for me because the shade was too orange. So this one I have seen brightens a lot, so I am curious to try it. It costs $26 at Sephora & now at Ulta.
5. Elf Cosmetics Power Grip Primer
Ok, so moving on to something drugstore. I am legit on the hunt for an amazing gripping primer that really works… I have tried the mint melt one from Elf and it’s too sticky and annoying but it doesn’t work super well, The milk one is ok but not worth the price, and I have a new one from NYX (the plump right back primer serum) which I really think has won of the ones I have tried so far. This one I feel like might be better than those and I have heard it is better than the Milk one so I am intrigued to try it. It’s also pretty affordable compared to the Milk so I’m super curious. This costs $10 at Ulta.
6. Tower 28 ShineOn Milky Lip Jelly Gloss
https://www.sephora.com/product/tower-28-shineon-milky-lip-jelly-P462895
(Specifically in the shades Oat, Cashew, and Pistachio)
These are again another example of a TikTok viral product that I really want to try. I have heard amazing things about these glosses and this brand as a whole, which both I have never tried, so I am super curious to see if I will like them, especially because I’m a gloss fiend (I kinda wanna do a rating glosses post if you guys like that idea because I love trying different glosses and reviewing them). These glosses cost $15 each at Sephora.
7. Patrick Ta Major Sculpt Crème Contour and Powder Bronzer Duo
(Shade: She’s Statuesque)
Ok, so 1. I only own one product from Patrick Ta which is their cream and powder blush duo and I really want to try more from the brand because I love that blush duo so much; 2. Naturally I want to try the bronzer duo because I have heard it’s similar formula wise to the blushes so I know I will really enjoy them. Also, this color is pretty light but it looks like a good enough shade for me to contour with. It’s also different from the bronzers I own, which are more like the 2nd lightest shade She’s Sculpted. The duo costs $38 at Sephora.
8. Rare Beauty Lip Soufflé Matte Cream Lipstick
https://www.sephora.com/product/rare-beauty-by-selena-gomez-lip-souffle-matte-cream-lipstick-P87987897?skuId=2362234
(Specifically the shades Fearless, Courage, and Thrilling)
Ok, so the reason I want these is a bit different from just seeing it on TikTok. I am a big liquid lipstick hater so you are probably thinking why these. Well, I have tried them at Sephora and they have been super comfortable and really nice for me, they have also lasted pretty nicely under a mask. So, I kinda wanna take the plunge and buy a full size one. They are $20 at Sephora.
9. Kosas Revealer Skin-Improving Foundation
Ok, so this is another TikTok foundation pick that I really was intrigued by. It has all the things I look for in a foundation: medium coverage (usually I got for light to medium, no full), natural finish (my favorite type of finish… but I also take glowy foundations too), hydrating (always… no matte for me), and has SPF 25 (this is not a must but a plus). It also really good ingredients that I really like such as Hyaluronic Acid and Niacinamide. It costs $42 at Sephora.
10. Milani Color Fetish Matte Lipsticks (Nudes)
https://www.ulta.com/p/color-fetish-matte-nudes-collection-pimprod2025973?sku=2581811
(Specifically the shades Secret, Pleasure, Tease, and Passion)
Another TikTok makes me want to get these. The nudes in this collection are really beautiful and I have heard they are very comfortable matte lipsticks so I am dying to try them. Milani makes pretty good lip products (specifically their lipsticks are really nice) so I have high hopes. These are $8.99 each at Ulta.
11. Charlotte Tilbury Airbrush Flawless Finish Setting Powder
(Specifically in the shade fair)
So, this powder is a cult classic on the internet and I have never ever tried it because it’s so expensive and it’s Charlotte Tilbury so ofc it’s expensive. Like I have had this on my wishlist forever and I cannot bring myself to pull the plug and do it. I have seen so many people rave about it and it just hurts my soul bc I want it so bad. It costs $45 at Sephora.
12. NYX This is Juice Hydrating Lip Gloss
https://www.ulta.com/p/this-juice-gloss-hydrating-lip-gloss-pimprod2029856
(Specifically in the shades Coconut Chill, Guava Snap, Passion Fruit Snatch, Pomegranate Clout, and Watermelon Sugar)
Again, this one is a TikTok find and also a gloss fiend want. I love trying different lip glosses and lip oils and I have heard amazing things about this one and it’s pretty affordable so I am intrigued. It was part of the same collection as my beloved plump it back serum so I have a good feeling. They cost $8 at Ulta.
13. Leía Ultraflesh Blender
This makeup applicator from Leia has legit gone viral and it blends makeup super well I’ve seen. The main draw from this for me is that it doesn’t waste as much product as a sponge does. I saw Theresa is Dead review it and that review sold me, but the cost of it is making me hesitate a bit. It costs $59 on Leia’s website.
14. Glamlite Ice Cream Dream Palette
So I have already tried the Glamlite x Mikayla palette and I really love the quality of the shadows so this palette is absolutely stunning. The pastels I have heard are so pigmented that they work on deeper skin, which is amazing for me who is Caspar the friendly ghost so they’ll definitely show up on me hehe. It costs $45 on the Glamlite website.
15. Givenchy Prisme Libre Loose Powder
https://www.sephora.com/product/P390722?skuId=1661461
(Specifically the shades Original Mousseline Pastel, Satin Blanc, or Voile Rosé)
Ok, so I saved the most expensive one for last because why not? This powder is highly raved about because of how brightening it is and smooth as well. I have never seen anyone not love this powder but it is extremely expensive for a setting powder, idk if I could ever justify it (maybe on sale?). The price is $58 at Sephora.
Alright that is it! Tell me in the comments down below what makeup products are in your wishlist? Also, have you tried any of the products I mentioned? Did you like them? Lemme know! See you on the next one, bye 😘

My Top 5 Favorite Makeup Brands
Hello makeup lovers! My name is Ana and this blog is for me to talk about one of my favorite things, makeup. I will start this with talking about my favorite makeup brands, why I love them, products I love from them, and products I want to try from them.
Disclaimer: I know some brands might have controversies associated with them but I will not be talking about those here, I will only be talking about the products. There are brands I don’t support for certain reasons, so if you don’t support any brand I mention, please don’t shame me for liking the products. You support who you want to support. I am not forcing you to like what I like, this is just for fun and entertainment. You are free to comment what brands you personally love. Also, I am not affiliated with any of these brands, just an average makeup loving customer over here.
1. Fenty Beauty by Rihanna
Available at Sephora in stores/online and Fenty Beauty’s website
I know what you’re thinking.... “Ana, stop jumping on the bandwagon... I know you only like Fenty because it’s Rihanna.” Actually, no. I enjoy the products that I have tried from them (with exception of 2) and I genuinely use the brand everyday when I do my makeup. Their products have such sleek packaging and the quality is amazing.
My Favorite Fenty Products:
Gloss Bomb
Seriously, these glosses are the best I have ever tried. They look so beautiful and glossy on the lips. They are very comfortable and not sticky. They smell so good, like Watermelon Lip Smacker (do you remember those?). I wear them every single day and I love them so much. When I buy another gloss, it’s never the same and I go back to these. Also, the shades literally look good on anyone no matter your skin tone (which is a common theme with Fenty). They are holy grail status!
Pro Filter Instant Retouch Setting Powder
I use the shade Butter of this powder and let me tell you I love the fact that it comes in different shades for all skin tones to use. This powder is so smooth and skin like. It smooths out the foundation underneath and makes my makeup look smooth and seamless. It lasts a long time too I love it so much, I use it every single day.
Products I want to try:
Full Frontal Volume, Lift, & Curl Mascara
One of my favorite makeup items to try is mascara and I have been dying for Fenty to come out with a mascara. I have seen people like Tati and KathleenLights saying that they really enjoy this mascara and it looks perfect for me since I look for volume in my mascara.
Flypencil
I really wish I can have some colorful eyeliners and I have heard that these are the best from many beauty gurus. I am really drawn to the colors they have so I am dying to get at least 2 of them.
2. Jeffree Star Cosmetics
I really enjoy Jeffree Star’s makeup products almost more than Jeffree himself. The products are so wonderfully done that they feel like a collector’s item, kind of like a novelty item. Also, the products that I have tried are all so great and are awesome quality. There isn’t a product I have tried that I disliked.
Favorite Products:
Magic Star Concealer
I really enjoy this concealer, I wear it everyday. I use the shade C7 and I adore it. It is my ideal finish and coverage for concealer. It is also perfect to do cut creases with.
Conspiracy Palette
This palette in collaboration with Shane Dawson is my favorite Jeffree Star palette (even though I love all of their eyeshadow palettes). The color scheme is very unique compared to other palettes out there and I love the packaging. This palette is something that I feel very fortunate to own.
Products I want to try:
The Gloss in Shane Glossin
I really love the Shane Dawson collaboration and this gloss is super awesome. I have really wanted a clear gloss for a while now too. Also, I have always wanted to try the JSC Gloss formula.
Supreme Frost
I have seen these highlighters all over social media and it is so beautiful/blinding on everyone. I want to try one so bad because of how unique and stunning it swatches.
3. Alamar Cosmetics
I really love Alamar Cosmetics. It represents the Cuban culture (my culture) with colors and packaging that are fun and cute. The names are also very fitting to the theme of the products. They are also beautiful in formula and pigmentation. The quality is amazing with reasonable prices.
My Favorite Products:
Colerete Blush Trio (Shade: Medium/Tan)
These blushes are holy grail status! They are so lovely and flattering in terms of color. They also last the longest of all the blushes I have tried. They are also super pigmented and blendable. I recommend to everyone these blushes and they come in 3 shades that are flattering for such a variety of skin tones.
Ojitos Brush Trio (Both Vol 1 and 2)
I have all of the Alamar brushes and they are so amazing. They blend eyeshadow like a dream and they are so soft on the skin. The shapes that are available are perfect enough to create eyeshadow looks and even cutting the crease if you are into that.
Products I want to try:
DesNUDEAs Lip Liner- Dulce
I have heard so many amazing things about this lip liner ad the color Dulce is so my color. Kathleen Lights in particular makes me want to buy it because it looks so amazing on her.
Brighten & Bronze Complexion Trio (Shade: Medium/Tan)
I love the blush formula so much that I am dying to try the bronzer. I have heard from a couple of people who have tried it that it’s as smooth and pigmented as the blushes. It also looks so amazing on pictures, I really am dying to get this.
4. Colourpop Cosmetics
I am in love with this brand and they are so affordable and cute. I blame Kathleen Lights for making me obsessed back in 2015. I have been using their products ever since. The only down side is that they release too many products in such a short period of time, but they haven’t sacrificed their quality for most of their products (some not so much).
My Favorite Products:
KathleenLights Zodiac Loose Pigments
These pigments are so beautiful and shimmery. In the natural light, the sparkle is so prominent and I love how it looks so much. Every time I wear them, I either get compliments or I cannot stop staring at my eyeshadow or both haha!
Pretty Fresh Hylauronic Tinted Moisturizer
This is a new favorite of mine. I have been wearing this as a foundation everyday and it makes my skin look so good. It is so natural and probably the best foundation I have tried when it comes to lasting power.
Products I want to try:
KathleenLights x Colourpop So Jaded Palette
This eyeshadow palette is one of the most beautiful I have ever seen and every time I see Kathleen use the palette on her channel, it makes me want to buy it so bad (I did and now I am waiting for it to come to my house). It’s such a gorgeous and unique palette I am dying for it to get to my house. I can’t wait to try this out!
Pretty Fresh Hyaluronic Concealer
I didn’t mention this before, but I really liked the No Filter Concealer so I am curious to try this concealer. I have the Pretty Fresh tinted moisturizer and setting spray and I really enjoyed them so I am very curious to try the concealer.
5. e.l.f Cosmetics
I really love e.l.f especially because it was one of the first brands I tried when I began in makeup and it is so affordable with genuinely great products. Some of their products are hit or miss, but it’s amazing that they are so affordable and they managed to stay that way even as a cruelty free and vegan brand.
My Favorite Products:
e.l.f. Tinted Lip Oils
I really like these lip oils, they are so lovely and moisturizing. They are the best for summer, especially when wearing minimal makeup. I really enjoy these, they are probably one of my favorite products from the brand.
e.l.f. Makeup Brushes
Elf has multiple kinds of brushes but these ones (the all black ones and the ones with the clear handles) are my favorites. They are such amazing drugstore brushes, so soft and great quality for the price (which is around $6-15 depending on the brush- the black ones are cheapest).
Products I want to try:
e.l.f Clear Lip Gloss
I have heard so many people on Instagram & Tik Tok rave about this gloss, I really am dying to try this clear gloss even though it looks like it is something super simple. It’s also very affordable which is amazing.
e.l.f Hydrating Camo Concealer
I’ve heard great things about the camo concealer and that it is like the concealer I really like from Makeup Revolution (Conceal & Define). I also really want the hydrating one because I have heard it is better than the original & that the original is like Tarte Shape Tape which for me is too dry.
Honorable Mentions Go To:
Milani Cosmetics
Wet n Wild Beauty
Tatcha
Tati Beauty
Maybelline
*Disclaimer: This post was in my drafts for months before the COVID-19 lockdown/the BLM protests that are going on & is a light hearted blog to serve as a fun distraction for people who love makeup like I do. I wholeheartedly support the BLM movement & would love to buy from other black owned brands other than Fenty, especially more independent ones to support wonderful black entrepreneurs out there. I usually wouldn’t be talking about everything that is going on, but it is heavy on my heart and mind these past couple of days so I wanted to mention it. I was thinking about making a list even though I don’t have much experience with most of the brands to showcase the brands’ stories*
Having said that, I hope you guys enjoyed and let me know of your favorite brands/products I should try. Let me know what other makeup posts you would like to see next.
