GRWM — Some of My Favorite Amazon Beauty Finds
Hi beauties! I just hit a huge milestone at work—celebrating my first year and getting invited to a special event! I got ready using some of my all-time favorite makeup and skincare products, and I wanted to share each one with you. Plus, most of them are available on Amazon, so if you’re looking to add some high-quality, budget-friendly items to your routine, these are perfect. A few of the products I’m linking aren’t the exact same as mine, but they’re super close!
And of course, if you’re into fashion finds and beauty tips, make sure to follow me on TikTok (@kayleedailypicks) and check out my Poshmark closet (@KayleeWResell) for some trendy steals.
Lets get into what products I used and why they’re great!
Starting off with clean, fresh skin is key! The Indie Lee Brightening Facial Cleanser is a staple in my routine. This gentle cleanser brightens and refreshes, giving my skin a clean slate without stripping it of natural oils. It leaves me feeling ready to glow.
After cleansing, I use Pixi’s Glow Tonic to keep my skin balanced. This toner is a cult favorite for a reason, as it gently exfoliates and preps my skin for makeup. Plus, it gives an instant radiance boost—perfect for an event. I really love this product, plus it smells very good!
This isn’t the exact product I used, but it will do the same thing and they’re both Clinique! This serum keeps your eyes looking fresh and bright. This rollerball applicator is so cooling, reduces puffiness and makes your eyes look awake and ready for the night ahead.
This moisturizer is lightweight yet hydrating, making it perfect as a makeup base. It sinks in quickly and gives my skin that plumped, dewy feel. I love the Versed Dew Point Gel for its light, refreshing texture. I use this moisturizer almost daily, I love it so much!
This isn’t the exact primer I used in my TikTok, but this wet n wild matte primer is also one of my favorites. I’ve used this primer for a while and it never fails me. Plus, it’s currently 16% off — grab it for under $6 today!
Uoma’s Skin Perfecting Foundation has a natural finish that feels lightweight but lasts all night. It’s buildable, so I can get the perfect amount of coverage without feeling heavy. If you want flawless skin IRL, this one is amazing! It feels very light and doesn’t seem very cakey at all, it’s perfect!
For concealer, I use NARS Radiant Creamy Concealer—it’s one of my makeup essentials. It’s easy to blend, never creases, and covers any dark circles or blemishes flawlessly, helping me look my best in all lighting. I’ve used this concealer for a long time and I keep going back!
Next, I add some definition with the e.l.f. Halo Glow Contour Beauty Wand. It’s easy to use and blends like a dream. This wand helps me shape my face and gives a subtle contour that looks perfect for photos. I always like to use cream products first and then go on to powders. I also use a matte bronzer on top of this awesome e.l.f. Beauty Wand!
This isn’t the exact blush I used in the video, but it’s very similar and will also work great! In my video, I use a Stila pressed blush and a shein cream blush. The color of the Stila Lip & Cheek Stick is buildable, and it blends seamlessly into the skin. So you can choose this awesome blush, or checkout SHEIN!
To set everything in place, I use COVERGIRL’s Clean Pressed Powder Foundation. It locks in my makeup and gives a flawless finish without looking cakey. A must for keeping everything in place all night! I’ve literally used this powder for years, so it’s definitely worth it! Plus, it’s very inexpensive which is perfect for me.
For a touch of warmth, I reach for the Too Faced Chocolate Soleil Matte Bronzer. It gives a natural, sun-kissed glow and has the most delicious scent. I’m a huge fan of its smooth finish. I also like how this is more of a cool tone bronzer and doesn’t make me look orange.
Adding a bit of highlight, I used the Anastasia Beverly Hills Glow Kit. Specifically, I used the color Starburst and Marshmallow, I’m very fair skinned, so these shades work great for me. It’s a highlighter set that’s become my go-to for any event. The shades are so versatile and give my skin that beautiful, lit-from-within look. Plus, you could also use this for eyeshadow!
On my brows, I keep it simple with Anastasia Beverly Hills Clear Brow Gel. It holds everything in place and gives a polished, put-together look that lasts. Brows can really frame the face, so this is a key step.
I used a different eye primer in my TikTok, but it’s not on Amazon, so I’m recommending this one! I love wet n wild products, so I had to give this a shout out. It works great for priming your eyes for eyeshadow and helps it last longer! Plus, it’s currently 34% off — grab it for under $4. That’s a steal!
While I used the Urban Decay Metal Mania Palette for this look, it’s unfortunately not available on Amazon. A similar option is the Urban Decay Naked Heat Palette, which also offers warm, rich tones perfect for a statement eye look. It blends effortlessly and has long-lasting color—ideal for any event.
For lashes, I used Milani’s Highly Rated Mascara in black. It’s so lengthening and gives my lashes a dramatic boost. I love how bold my eyes look with just a few coats.
To complete my look, I used L.A. COLORS Matte Lipstick. It’s super affordable and has a soft matte finish that lasts. Perfect for a sophisticated event look! For being so inexpensive, I think it actually works great!
To lock it all in, I used NYX’s Dewy Finish Setting Spray. It keeps my makeup in place and gives a fresh, dewy look all night. This is a must-have for any special occasion! It also just feels very nice on your face.
My Real Techniques brush set was a huge help in blending out everything. These brushes are soft, versatile, and make applying makeup so much easier. This set includes everything you need for a full-face look. Specifically, I used the 200 blending brush.
For some extra blending power, I also used EcoTools’ Start The Day Beautifully brush set. These are eco-friendly and perfect for a smooth, seamless application. They’re super soft and make makeup feel like an art. Specifically, I used the angled brush to blend my contour.
I used the e.l.f. Flawless Face Brush to blend out my finishing powder. This brush is soft, easy to use, and creates a seamless finish. It’s budget-friendly but delivers results just as good as high-end brushes.
The Beauty Junkees makeup sponges are great. On top of using the Real Techniques buffing brush, I also use a makeup sponge to blend out my foundation and concealer.
I always make sure to have a spoolie on hand when I’m getting ready. They’re perfect for making your eyebrows lay nice and you can even use it to separate your eyelashes! This brush is perfect because it comes with an angled brush and a spoolie.
Always make sure to curl your eyelashes before adding mascara! Curling your eyelashes helps the mascara look and work better. This lash curler is perfect, plus it’s inexpensive which is great for me!
