I don't know how my list got so long. I guess that happens when you're trying to low buy.
I use a face exfoliator that I get from Walmart or target or CVS or Walgreens. They are shaped like little triangles and they are really a different type of fine exfoliation. I wait until day two or three after the wax and I gently give it and exfoliation pretty much every single day. It’s prevented every single bump. Here’s what they look like for context.
I know that some items aren’t out of packaging, so i uploaded a picture of all three of them (too faced damn girl mascara, urban decay perversion mascara, and anastasia beverly hills clear brow gel)-Link to the photos

Okay - I have two colors that look super similar to this. One is from this Colourpop lip crayon set, and the other is L’Óreal Colour Riche lipstick (here it is on Amazon). Both are super pretty and hydrating :)
I add a bit of Naked Bee sunscreen to my regular sunscreen with a higher spf that usually leaves a white tint on my skin and it’s literally magic. It makes it disappear into my skin and I haven’t gotten sunburned yet. It also smells so yummy! Here’s a link to the one I got https://www.amazon.com/Naked-Bee-Sunscreen-3oz-Reef-Resistant/dp/B01CDEZY7Y
I have found that Banana Boat is the way to go for me. Most of their sunscreens are in the neutral PH range, so they won't cause burns or damage your skin. It's also water and sweat resistant, so you can wear it all day long outside and at the beach. My niece uses it and says it works with her makeup!
Alternatively if you can't find a sunscreen that works for your body/face, I would recommend at least getting yourself a nice sun hat so you at least reliably protect the skin on your whole head without having to worry about applying sunscreen. It's hard finding sunscreens that are compatible with different types of makeup. There's a brand named Caramber that sells special UV-Protecting Sun Hats, but you can find them everywhere. I hope you find these useful!

Birchbox Add ons: POP Beauty Pure Pigment in Metallic Copper, Cargo eyeshadow in Yukon (They sent me this last month as well). I ended up cancelling the add on because i was annoyed about the screw up and i heard they were sending out smashbox mascara in July, which I already have a sample of.
I have used old heavy-duty t-shirts that I cut into strips. Currently, I'm re-using strips from a NADs purchase 4 years ago. I'm thinking about trying these though. Sounds promising
There's this resveratrol cream from 100% Pure--I got this a while ago as a GWP when buying some soap, but haven't yet opened it to try it.
My holy grail cleanser is Kose Softymo Deep Cleansing Oil. Massage it onto your dry face, the oil dissolves any makeup/grease, then rinse it off and it foams up and rinses clean. It's not too expensive, and I find it gentle and non-drying; also non-irritating for me but I don't have very sensitive skin so YMMV.
Thank you! Dr. Bronner's works really well for brushes, but surprisingly the Dr. Bronner's liquid hand soap (a very similar formula to the regular version) does not work well on synthetic brushes. It leaves a greasy residue despite thorough rinsing. I haven't tried the bar soap yet but I have used this solid cleanser made for art/painting brushes and it was a great, very portable option and much cheaper than the Beauty Blender solid soap.
After searching for links, it looks like the Chapstick brand SPF30 product I used to get isn't around anymore. =( I try to find something at least SPF 20 when I'm going to be in the sun a lot.
After a Eucerin cream finally cleared up the stupid dry spots around my eyes, I'm sold on their products, and I really want to try this stuff soon. Plus it won't melt all over shit like a twist-up stick of balm would.
Otherwise, this Blistex stuff is good.
I'll chime in about Bourjois Healthy Mix in 51 Vanille Clair. Totally affordable on Amazon (US). Smells great, non-irritating, looks very natural with brush, fingers, or sponge--unless I get carried away and use too much.
It's a touch too dark and warm for me, but I'm quite pink and pale--about Missha 13/NYX HD concealer in Fair.
For a small detail brush, check out the Jenny Patinkin Pin Point Liner Brush (link). It is very small, but is surprisingly useful. I have smaller eyes and I find that this brush is very useful for doing a smudged liner with shadows, placing color very specifically to blend out, etc. The description does mention using it for lip liner or concealer, but I have not done that. It is pricey, but I use it almost daily. It has held up wonderfully- no hairs have come out and no splaying.
I've been using this one and I've had zilch issues with it transferring on my pillows! It definitely stained my hands and sink putting it on, but it moved with dishwashing liquid nearly right away, and I haven't noticed it staining anything else. I had a bath to rinse it yesterday, and my bathwater definitely went pink, but my bath itself and my hair didn't! It's a very low ratio of dye to conditioner, which I think might be why.
EDIT: It definitely did stain my towel though! That was the only victim.
Round brush - I use this one by Cricket. I've had it for about a year and a half and I really like it. I went with the 2" as my hair is pretty limp at times but I know my mom uses a smaller 1" barrel by them and is happy with it.
There's quite a few guides out there on it, so I read up before giving it a go, then I mixed 2 or 3 dessertspoons of this dye into this conditioner, using nearly the whole bottle of conditioner (I depotted the coloured mix into a new bottle for easier use). I shook it like mad for a while to mix it, then applied it with a comb to my hair for about 10 minutes. The next time I tried it I only did it for 5 because I wanted a less subtle look, which you can do by either using less dye in the mix or less time. It's recommended on the Manic Panic website as a way of keeping your dye bright, so it's not really my idea at all :)
