Body Care
Absolutely LOVE this body lotion. It's a thicker consistency which I like, but it's not super heavy. This lotion is not greasy at all, but it is very moisturizing. It claims 72 hour moisture, I'm can't vouch for that but iI can say that it lasts at l...
NIVEA: Essentially Enriched Body Lotion
Lightweight moisturizing body lotion. Not thick and I love to mix this lotion with the Palmer's, Vaseline or Dr. Teal's body oils. Those oils add a nice glow.
Alaffia: EveryDay Coconut Hydrating Body Lotion
My top fav. body oil. So soft, so silky, so moisturizing, so good. Smells amazing, lightweight, not super slippery and I do genuinely think that the minerals that are infused help with relaxation. I generally use this oil after a night time shower be...
Dr Teal's: Restorative Minerals Bath & Body Oil with Magnesium, Potassium & Zinc
One of my fav. body oils. A little thicker than the Dr. Teals. Smells really good, like vanilla. Prefer to use this one in the summer.
Vaseline: Intensive Care Cocoa Radiant Body Gel Oil
I would consider this the OG body oil. Love this one down, and it's the cheapest of my 3 favs. Will always get the job done! Silky, soft, moisturizing, light.
Palmer's: Shea Formula Raw Shea Body Oil
Love this body scrub. It's affordable, it smells great and I think it does it's job.
Tree Hut: Vanilla Shea Sugar Body Scrub

OUAI: St. Barts Cleansing Scalp & Body Sugar Scrub
So good for vacation as it's a travel set. The products are great and they smell amazing.
Sol de Janeiro: Brazilian Bum Bum Jet Set
I really only use exfoliating gloves. Pair these with a body scrub, and you'll feel extra extra clean every time you shower. 10/10
Daylee Naturals: Exfoliating Bath Gloves 4 Pairs
Skin Care
I mean, OG micellar water. Does what it's supposed to do which is to remove makeup, dirt and oils from your face. Works very well and I will continue to purchase.
Garnier: SkinActive Micellar Cleansing Water All-in-1 Cleanser & Makeup Remover
This was my first face wash from Lancôme. I love it. A little goes A LONG WAY. It's also thiiiicckkkk, which is nice bc you can get a good lather with a small dime size amount. It also lasts a while. It has a light fragance but nothing that would mak...
Lancôme: Crème Radiance Clarifying Cream-to-Foam Cleanser
Love this one as well. Very very similar to the Crème Radiance cleanser except it comes out a little pink, and i feeeeeeel like it has some very fine exfoliating beads in it. So if you like that, this one is for you.
Lancôme: Crème Mousse Confort Creamy Foaming Cleanser
More affordable cleanser that I really like. Love that it has a pump, bc all you really need is one. Lathers very well. Really good for removing makeup as well.
CeraVe - Hydrating Foaming Oil Cleanser
This toner is interesting bc it has this slightly creamy consistency, buttttt i enjoy it. I love to use this one before applying any makeup. I think it helps with a smoother application. Fun Fact: i do not apply this toner in a normal way lol I actua...
Thayers: Milky Hydrating Face Toner with Snow Mushroom and Hyaluronic Acid
More affordable toner. I think it works well with any cleanser. I usually use this one before bed.
CeraVe: Hydrating Facial Toner
This moisturizer appears thick at first glance, but once you start to rub it in, you realize that it's not think at all and actually super light weight. I use this right before I do my makeup.
Summer Fridays: Jet Lag Mask + Moisturizer
This one is a little thicker than the Let Lag moisturizer, but I still like it. I use this one as a night time moisturizer.
Summer Fridays: Rich Cushion Cream Ultra Plumping Moisturizer
This Vitamin C Super Serum is the bombbbbb! Its hydrating, brightening AND tightening. Whenever I use this product after moisturizing, my face always feels so fresh and TIGHT. I feel like it makes a difference when I use this under my makeup.

Got this as a birthday gift and I had never tried First Aid Beauty before that and I can say I was presently surprised. The face wash was nice and you only needed a small amount. The cream i really liked, was super moisturizing. and the pads I liked ...

Recent pickup and I do like it. Light weight and has a beautiful glow. Not a long wear product in my opinion, but good for just putting something on to go outside to run errands and back.
NYX: Buttermelt Glaze Skin Tint SPF 30 - Praline Butta
Concealers
I've been using this concealer consistently for a year and I love it. They say it's full coverage, but I think it's medium coverage and buildable. It's also creamy!
Maybelline: Super Stay Longwear Liquid Concealer
I recently purchased this, maybe 5 months ago, and I do really like it. It's a little thicker than I would like but it leaves a really nice finish. I would consider this concealer to be full coverage.

Another affordable drug store make up concealer. It is full coverage so a little goes a long way.
NYX Professional Makeup: Can't Stop Won't Stop 24HR Full Coverage Matte Concealer
Bronzers
Creamy bronzer stick thats super easy to blend. I want them to add more shades bc this on is a little red on me, but if i go darker then it's too dark. I do like it though.
Morphe: Sudden Heat Creamy Bronzer Stick - Sizzle
This is marketed as a concealer, but I use the darker shades as bronzers. Super thick so you you don't need a whole lot and it's full coverage.
NYX: Can't Stop Won't Stop 24HR Full Coverage Matte Concealer - Mocha
Buttery formula and HELLA pigmented. Love this. I've had it since it came out and bc of how pigmented it is, I feel like I won't ever have to buy another powdered bronzer lol

This blush formula is one prolly one of the best formulas I've ever tried. It's silky, its pigmented and it's GLOWY. No need for highlighter when you wear this. I love it.
NYX: Buttermelt Pressed Powder Blush - U Know Butta
Looooveeeee this liquid blush. It's a duo almost bc not only is it s a blush, it has sick glow in it that also doubles as a highlighter. I mix this with the e.l.f., liquid camo blush in “comin' in hot pink”, to give that sunset blush effect that was ...

NYX Professional Makeup: Can't Stop Won't Stop All Day Mattifying Powder
Setting Sprays
I think this works. The mist is super fine so i like that, but it does have a strong hairspray type scent and the formula is a lil sticky but I feeeeel like thats why it works lol. Throughout your time wearing it, it will soften and give you a very n...
L'Oréal: Infallible 3-Second Setting Mist Spray
It's just the OG setting spray. It's one I always reach for. It melts my makeup and seamlessly fuses everything together. I'll sometimes use this on it's own, or use it as a base then top it with another setting spray.
e.l.f. Cosmetics: Makeup Mist & Set
Mascaras
HANDS DOWN. My absolute favorite lash primer. I swear by this. I love this primer. It works with every mascara I pair it with, but it works exceptionally well with Lancôme mascaras.

Summer Fridays: Lip Butter Balm, Pink Sugar
I like this lip balm and it's very affordable. Some people have said that it's a dupe for the Summer Friday's lip balm, but I disagree. This one is thicker…but not in a bad way. When I put this one on and rub my lips together, I can definitely tell t...
e.l.f. Cosmetics: Glow Reviver Melting Lip Balm - Vanilla Toffee
1
Got this one bc of the donut applicator. The applicator alone, 10/10. its super squishy and it's make the application to the lips feel “fancy”. The lipgloss itself is good. I think it is on the thicker side, and the color pay off is nice as well.
LANEIGE: Glaze Craze Tinted Polypeptide Lip Serum - Strawberry Sprinkles
Beautiful color, especially on top of a baby pink lip balm. It gives almost a creamy mauve look. Also tingles, so I believe it has some mint in it.
Buxom: Dolly Full-On Plumping Lip Polish
Hands down one of the best drug-store lipgloss and in the best nude color.
NYX Professional Makeup: Butter Gloss Non-Sticky Lip Gloss - Praline
Affordable lip oil that's moisturizing and has a subtle color pay off. Like a mauvy pink
