Skincare Faves
Dresses I've actually worn on repeat- fit right, don't wrinkle, worth rebuying.
Â
The only sunscreen I've used that doesn't leave a white cast or feel greasy under makeup- my skin genuinely looks dewy, not shiny.
Beauty Of Joseon Relief Sun
Â
Starts as a gel, dries into a peel-off sheet- sounds gimmicky but my skin actually looks firmer and "glassier" the morning after.
medicube Jelly Gel Mask Salmon DNA PDRN
Â
This is my "I woke up like this" product- blurs pores and gives a lit-from-within glow without looking shimmery or fake.
Charlotte Tilbury Hollywood Flawless Filter
Â
Texture is weird at first (slimy, not gonna lie) but my dry patches and acne scars have genuinely faded since adding this in.
COSRX Snail Mucin 96% Repairing Serum
Â
This is the product I keep seeing everywhere and it actually lives up to it- one swipe and it blends like it's part of your skin, no cakey build up.

Everyday Essentials
The small stuff I'd panic-order if I ran out. Used daily, not just for a photo.

Perfumes & Body Mists - Deliciously Scented
Â
This is genuinely a "facial in a sachet"- one use and my skin looks noticeably plumper and more hydrated the next morning.

Â
I put this on every single night now- wake up with soft lips, no more flaking under lipstick or gloss.
Lip Sleeping Mask Nourish & Hydrate
Â
Slow and steady, but after consistent use my brows genuinely look fuller- worth the patience.
The Ordinary Multi-Peptide Lash and Brow Serum ...
Â
Combines a mister and detangler in one- cuts my hair routine down and my hair looks less frizzy without extra product.
2-in-1 Hair Brush with Water Spray Detangler
Favorite Dresses
Dresses I've actually worn on repeat- fit right, don't wrinkle, worth rebuying.
Â
My go-to for anything from brunch to a casual work day- flattering on basically every body type and doesn't wrinkle in a bag.
PRETTYGARDEN Women's Formal Short A-Line Dress
Â
Pockets are non-negotiable for me now, and this one is loose enough to be comfortable all day but still looks put-together.
GRECERELLE Women's Short Sleeve Casual Long Maxi Dress ...
Â
The tie-waist gives it shape without feeling tight- this is the one I reach for when I want to look dressed up with zero effort.
ANRABESS Maxi Dress 2026 Summer Tie-Waist Midi Sleeveless ...
Â
Softest fabric on this list, hands down- feels like loungewear but looks like an actual outfit.
CRZ YOGA V Neck Maxi Tank Dress Black XXS
Â
This is my vacation dress- lightweight, doesn't cling in the heat, and the elastic waist means it actually fits right after a big meal too 😅
