For someone who doesn’t wear makeup every day I appreciate how this breaks down how to put on each shade!

As someone who doesn’t like full coverage makeup, I actually use this as a foundation, I found it works great! I layer with contour/highlight and find it gives the right amount of coverage for what I am looking for!

I have used this for years, when I do want to do a full face of makeup. I do think it’s smooth out your skin whether you have tiny pores or larger, I think it works for all skin types.

These are my favorite eyeshadow palettes that I have ever owned. The pigment is beautiful, I love the colors that they offer for being more natural. And oddly enough, maybe it’s just me, but I feel like they also smell really good. 🤣

I love how affordable these face moisturizers are. They work really well, are oil free, and have SPF included, which is a must for every day use!

Although this is pricey, it is the best face cream I have ever used. It is a splurge when I am able to purchase, but I truly enjoy when I get to have it!

A great affordable Vitamin C Serum. I do feel like this product works, I notice a difference in my skin when I use it versed when I don’t. I use the same brand of retinol too!

This is my choice for retinol! It is the same brand as what I use for vitamin C. Comes in a glass bottle so it feels high-end but at a budget price!

This toner works great! I have really started taking my skincare seriously and I love that this gets off any extra makeup or buildup through the day after a good face wash.

This is my morning cleanser for my face. I have been on a skincare journey just to hydrate my skin better and I do notice the difference with this cleanser.

This is my evening moisturizer. I love that it is a gel vs a cream because I think it soaks in better and doesn’t leave my skin sticky or tacky. Doesn’t take long for skin to absorb!

I use this anytime I curl my hair. Just on the ends to add that extra shine and softness! It didn’t smell like chemicals and I love the way it makes my hair feel!

I’ve used different brands for curlers but always come back to Conair. I have naturally wavy hair but for the blowout look I use a 1 1/2 inch curler and it lasts for a couple of days!

Very rarely do I straighten my hair, but when I do, this does a great job! I have thick wavy hair that takes a while with other tools, but this cuts the time down and is comfortable to use.

I have long wavy hair and struggle with finding a conditioner that actually will work for detangling and keeping it moisturized between washes. I e used this for a couple of months and definitely notice a difference already! And love that it’s not cr...

Yes yes yes. As someone who doesn’t wash their hair every day, this is so nice to have when heading out on a non-wash hair day. The scents are incredible and I love the brand being cruelty free!
