Micro Brow Pencil
NYX Micro Brow Pencil
"The NYX Micro Brow Pencil in Taupe is the best brow pencil ever. It's just the right texture. It's not too waxy. It's not too soft. It's not like if you need to go lightly, you can. And in normal circumstances, it lasts quite a long time."

Drying Patches
Mario Badescu Drying Patches
"The Mario Badescu Drying Patches have salicylic acid which I know my skin reacts well to. They also have hyaluronic acid, niacinamide, and vitamin C. I really really liked these. I got these for three pounds from Beauty Works. I think if you leave them on all day, they really do do something. Of the three, the Mario Badescu ones were the best."
