When I don't have time to get a spray tan this is what I use. It's the same high quality products I use in studio as a spray tan artist, but accessible to those who self tan.
That Girl - Dark Rapid Self Tanning Mousse 200 ml
I love this because it is PH balancing + safe to use on spray tansss. It also smells so good and fresh. And I actually feel clean after. But don't use their lotion on a spray tan.
eos Fresh & Cozy Body Wash
Love this tanning serum for touching up my face and keeping it tan throughout the entirety of my spray tan.
Tanning Serum - Self Tanner by JMT Sunless
Love this for keeping my tan hydrated. Smells so good and I love that the ingredients are minimal and not harmful at all. If you are local to me you can buy this in my suite.
Buttercream - Body Products by JMT Sunless
These are not spray tan safe, but I love this brand. All the ones I have smell so good and actually leave you feeling clean. But I do not recommend use on a spray tan or self tan.
philosophy fresh cream shower gel - vanilla
I highly recomend a silicone scrubber. So so much better than a loufa. I personally have a different one, but this one is better and antimicrobial which is important for something you won't throw away super often.
Sud Scrub® Antimicrobial Silicone Body Scrubber
Perfume
Such a staple perfume! Very vanillay, but not too kidish. Smells like the Billie Elish perfume and is very affordable. Lasts so long on me too! I like to spray it in my hair so that it lasts as well. Perfect for all year, but especially in the fall o...
Lattafa Nebras Unisex Eau de Parfum 3.4oz
One of my top perfumes I get so many compliments on and it smells very simillar if not the exact same to the Good Girl perfume
Fruity Almond - Carolina Herrera's Good Girl Dupe Perfume
Smells expensive, but is strong so if thats not your vibe you may not love it. Great date night option.
Floral Lavender - YSL Libre Dupe Perfume
Love this perfume especially in the fall and winter. Smells very similar to the Burberry Goddess perfume and is a fraction of the price. I've gotten quite a few compliments from this perfume!
Lattafa Angham Citrus Lavender Musk EDP
Hair Care
I have naturally wavy/curly hair so if you have a similar hair type you might love these products.
Another one I LOVE. It is super lightweight easy to spread and feels amazing. When I want a fast and easy routine this is the cream I will use.
Design.Me BOUNCE.ME Curl Balm with Argan Oil
Smells good and feels really nice. I love how my hair looks after using this.
OUAI Curl Defining Hydrating Cream 8 Oz
Okay so not technically for my hair type at all, but it smells amazing I get so many compliments. And I personally don't notice it weighing down my hair too bad. But if you have fine hair you may not like this product.
Doux C.R.E.A.M. Twist & Curl Cream 8oz
One of my favorite mouses! I really like this one.
Design.Me BOUNCE.ME Curl Defining Mousse
Love this for preventing friz. If you have thinner hair be carefull using too much it can weigh down your hair.
amika velveteen dream smoothing balm
This is a thicker gel, it holds curls nicely, but this is one you will have to scrunch out with water or oil to loose the crunch. Most gels you will have to do that with, but for sure this one.
Miss Jessie's Jelly Soft Curls 8.5 fl.oz./250ml
I love this gel! It is pretty thin and lightweight so doesn't make the hair feel super crunchy, but I still like to use water and oil to scrunch it out.
Aquage Defining Curl Gel & Hair Enhancer 6oz
love this for 1-2 times per week for a deep conditioning treatment for healthy hair
amika soulfood nourishing mask
I have dry hair and scalp so this has helped a ton!
amika hydro rush moisture shampoo
I love to use this when I am blow drying my hair. If you have curly/wavy hair you know how rough that process can be. It also smells SO good.
Kenra Platinum Blow-Dry Spray Heat Protectant
Love this to use on damp hair to keep hair looking silky and smooth with a healthy amount of shine. You can also use it on dry hair, but it is more of a hair serum than a hair oil. Smells so so good too!
Kenra Platinum Silkening Gloss - Shine & Frizz Control
Love this to keep my ends healthy + to scrunch out any crunchy peices in my hair after mouse + gel.
Moisturizing Oil - Kenra Professional | Ulta Beauty
Professional grade curling iron. I love the long barrel and it's by far my favorite curling iron i've tried. They are having a sale as of today (8/18/26) on select curling irons too!
Bio Ionic Long Barrel Curling Iron
Skincare
LOVE for barrier support and hydration!
BYOMA Hydrating Milky Toner
Just started using this, but have been loving it. And its prostaglandin-free.
ForChics Prostaglandin-Free Eyelash Growth Serum
If you know anything about me I have a whole lip balm collection. This one is one of my favorites and most used lip balms.
Ole Henriksen Pout Preserve Lip Treatment
Also another one of my favorite lip balms. Smells heavenly and I always have a back up for when I run out.
e.l.f. Squeeze Me Lip Balm Vanilla Frosting
This is pretty thick and kind of sticky, but it lasts so long. I like to put this on before bed and the next morning my lips are still hydrated. Has a refreshing minty scent and the iconic summer fridays applicator everyone loves
Topicals Slick Salve Mint Lip Balm 0.5oz
Love the smell + feel of this lip balm. It's lightweight and gives a nice glassy look to the lips. Only thing is I wish it hydrated the lips a bit more.
Summer Fridays Lip Butter Balm - Vanilla .5 Oz
I have really dry skin especially in the winter. I loved to put on a lighter moisturizer and then use this over it. It's pretty thick like a barrier butter, but it will not clog your pores. It can be used as a moisturizer or a face mask. I personally...
Summer Fridays Jet Lag Mask - Hydrating Overnight Face Mask & Eye Cream (2.25 Oz)
As an esthetician I know some products can be too pricey, but if you have dry skin and a compromised barrier this is a great option. Especially in the winter. Ingredients are also very clean which is a huge plus for me.
3 Ceramide Panthenol Moisture Barrier Cream - ANUA | Ulta Beauty
Great option for Hypochlorous Acid Spray!
8.0 oz Hypochlorous Acid Spray - Magic Molecule | Ulta Beauty
Love this for skin prep before makeup and light exfoliation.
Exfoliating 2% AHA Pads - Thayers | Ulta Beauty

Best drugstore foundation on the market. If you don't like the feeling of foundation like me you will love this.
True Match Foundation
My favorite lash curler. In my opinion it's the best affordable drugstore eyelash curler that I have tried.
Pro Eyelash Curler - e.l.f. Cosmetics | Ulta Beauty
Really affordable powder puffs. They are very soft and feel just as nice as any you would find on amazon.
100pcs Makeup Sponge Puff Soft Cosmetic Sponge Triangular Puff
Great affordable setting spray to get your makeup looks to last.
1.76 oz Infallible 3-Second Setting Mist Spray - L'Oréal | Ulta Beauty

Kiss of Copper GEN NUDE BLONZER Blush + Bronzer - bareMinerals | Ulta Beauty
I LOVE this for my skin prep! I feel like it has worked really well on most of my clients skin types. And it feels great on the skin.
Weleda Skin Food Ultra-Rich Moisturizer Cream - 2.5 fl oz: For Dry Skin, Whole Body, Paraben-Free, Aluminum-Free
Really pretty muted pink blush! I love to use this when someone wants a very soft makeup look or on brides (hence the name lol)
