Winter Top Shelf Edit
here is the winter top shelf edit over at ratboar HQ (featuring ONE! ONE eyeshadow!) I will talk about eyeshadow in another post bc we know that’s my bread and butter but I’m tryna branch out a little LOL
some links listed below are affiliate links! i appreciate anyone who uses them!
Half Magic Sparklestik Eye Crayon in Cloud Kid
i try not to buy a lot of eyeshadow sticks cuz as much as i like the idea of them i dont use them a TON. i really enjoy that i don’t have to press hard on my eyes to get pigment to show up lol. longevity of this has been pretty good so far. I was waffling between SO many colors but settled for Cloud Kid because there is something to dreamy and effervescent about this particular shade of ice blue. I love it!
The Saem Cover Perfection Lip Pencil in 06 Oat
I like this for a quick contour. It is much warmer on me than I prefer but I love it for its blendability. I’m really getting into korean lip pencils and this one has been great so far. They're really cheap and I love how buildable it is as well. And its wooden. Yeah, 100% worth trying out!
Shopmissa A20 Lab Waterproof Makeup Sealer
I don't talk about it a lot but i have SUPER oily lids. i know makeup cannot withstand oil but the outer edges of my lids are monstrously oily lol. i apply this AFTER my eyeshadow primer to the corners. this doesn't prevent my makeup from breaking 100% but it helps mitigate it a lot. Super essential in my routine now.
Laka Official Fruity Glam Tint in 123 Unsweet Berry
I wanted this SO BAD while I was in Korea this past September/October but it was impossible to find in person (I went to SO many olive youngs looking for it lol. btw they have a feature on their korean site that tells you what's in store and what's not!!!!). i finally grabbed it off yesstyle and no regrets! it's a beautiful, gothic lip color we don't see often in k-beauty! It stains beautifully.
Colourpop Cosmetics super shock blush in lil vibe
this is my first blush from colourpop LOL! i was predominantly an eyeshadow and liquid matte lipstick shopper from colourpop. The formula is pretty stiff so it takes a lot of building up but I added it because I really like the color. It looks really similar to the About Face Blush in Jump Start, just in a different format.
About Face blush rush in jump start
clearly I am just. blush pilled (and have been for years). i couldn't decide which color to get and i settled for purple since I didn't have a vibrant purple blush at the time. beautiful finish and builds up really well. I have my eye set on other colors from the line! i want to focus on using what i have first before i pick up any more but these are a lovely formula.
Laura Mercier Tinted Moisturizer Blush in Provence
i got this as a little sample and i wasn't sure if i would like it because it is SO liquidly but this particular color looks really natural and beautiful on my skin! i really do not own a lot of neutral blushes but i quite enjoy using this one.
This is a VERY plush lip gloss. It's very thick but it doesn't feel sticky at all, it really does feel like a gel! I love the black color bc it darkens lip colors a little and it's sooo even and smooth. I love this a lot and from a design standpoint i love the packaging, but it's not super practical lol. I do prefer a more traditional gloss component.
ILNP does some of my FAV jelly polishes. It really gets me in the Winter Spirit! i love a dark jelly polish too because it isn't super difficult to remove at all. It also has a great amount of depth to it. Ah... it makes my heart sing!
Dam Polish Dingle Berries polish
the name alone makes me laugh but this is a riff off their jingle berries polish which i also have and love (despite not really enjoying red nails). this is a stunning brown polish and a solid formula.
Miim.Miic No. 3 Sweet Fruits and Floral perfume
This is duping Burberry's Her which i have never smelled but i got this in a 4 pack of floral rollerballs they had. this is my favorite one of the bunch. it's SO sweet and delicious without being overwhelming. i don't gravitate towards a lot of floral perfumes but this is a stunning and enjoyable perfume to wear!
Glossier stretch concealer in light 2 (stretch concealer at glossier's site) and balm dot com in biscotti
I'm finally on the Glossier bandwagon in the year of 2025. CRAZY. this is my first time trying the stretch concealer and i completely understand the love of this product. it builds up well and wears beautifully under the eyes! i don't care for it much near my nose, for whatever reason it just does not want to sit well under there lol. Nonetheless I am LOVING this. Beautiful concealer! I was tempted to try either the skin tint or foundation but I want to finish up a foundation before I get a new one. Also trying Balm dot Com and it's a nice formula. I love that the cap has a snap to it, but I don't really love how much product sticks to the applicator lol? The biscotti flavor is nice. I got it in the duo that comes with Espresso but I am holding off on opening it until I make a noticeable dent in the one I have open for now.
The Saem Cover Perfection Concealer Pencil
People use this for spot concealing and I sadly got this in a shade WAY too light for that so I use it to carve my brows. It doesn't blend in 100% seamlessly into my skin because of my texture but this is a great and affordable format for a concealer and I want to try getting my correct shade next time.
