Makeup Essentials 💄
As someone with visible pores and oily skin, I am picky when it comes to primers. It needs to WORK. And this is what I use as a base. Don’t be shy when applying.
Poreless Putty Primer - e.l.f. Cosmetics | Ulta Beauty
STOP 🛑 READ FIRST 👀 I do not use this for eyeshadow… I use this for my under eye concealer!!!! My deep set eyes have a problem with concealer creasing. I put this primer beforehand to solve the problem. And one little tube will last you forever. I ...
Photo Finish Intensify 24 Hour Shadow Primer - Smashbox | Ulta Beauty
There’s a reason why these sponges are a best seller. I run mine under water, squeeze all the water out as much as possible, then use the sponge to apply my liquid foundation and liquid concealer. It’s just the best quality out there.
4-Pack Miracle Complexion Makeup Blending Sponges - Real Techniques | Ulta Beauty
I’ve tried other concealers that claim to hide dark circles. I’ve tried buildable concealers and thicker concealers. I keep going back to this one. First I apply one layer and blend with sponge. Then I do one more application with a tiny brush, apply...
121 Instant Age Rewind Eraser Dark Circle Treatment Concealer - Maybelline | Ulta Beauty
My favorite foundation I’ve used for many years. It’s the best that holds up and looks good when it comes to my oily skin. I’ve received compliments that my skin looks like porcelain. The coverage is beautiful and natural looking.
Revlon ColorStay Makeup for Combination/Oily Skin with SPF 15 - 180 Sand Beige - 1 fl oz
The inexpensive translucent powder to “bake” and finish your makeup! There’s truly no reason to buy anything expensive. From a girl with visible pores and oily skin, this is great and gets the job done perfectly! Makes my skin look flawless.
Translucent Photo Focus Loose Setting Powder - Wet n Wild | Ulta Beauty
Another oldie but a goodie. This is just the most natural looking contour powder out there. Doesn’t look like you wiped dirt on your face. No orange tint either. Just natural. Lasts all day, no issues. No odor, no skin reaction. Perfect 👍
Original Hoola Matte Powder Bronzer - Benefit Cosmetics | Ulta Beauty
My long, unruly brow hairs are shaped perfectly, and they stay in place all day with this gel. This is the strongest formula I’ve ever found. My brow hairs are very thick and stubborn, and no other gel holds them in place this well.
Clear Brow Gel
If you need your brows to stay still, but at a much more affordable price, I do highly recommend the Elf Brow gel. It does very, very well. It honestly comes close to the Anastasia brow gel’s power. For only a fraction of the cost, it’s impressive. L...
Crystal Clear Brow & Lash Mascara - e.l.f. Cosmetics | Ulta Beauty
You feel like you’re putting on fancy lipstick, but it’s as easy as putting on moisturizing, silky chapstick. You can’t overdo it. So much fun!
013 Toasting Glasses Super Lustrous Glass Shine Balm - Revlon | Ulta Beauty
I’m obsessed with these lip stains!!!! As someone who is horrible at reapplying lipstick, these are the perfect solution. I don’t know why I’ve never been big on putting color on my lips while I put effort into the rest of my makeup. But these lip st...
Pink About It Color Fetish Hydrating Lip Stain - Milani | Ulta Beauty
Did you have a chapstick collection from Avon as a little girl like I did? Well, this is the adult version! Lol! At $6 a pop, you won’t be able to stop. So many colors to choose from. Sooooo user-friendly. So much fun and easy to apply and toss in yo...
Strawberry Cheesecake Butter Gloss Non-Sticky Lip Gloss - NYX Professional Makeup | Ulta Beauty
If you have oily/combo skin that likes to shine through your makeup (not in a good way), I find that this is the best setting spray. I have tried others that make wonderful claims for my type of skin, but truly nothing feels as good as this spray. It...
4.0 oz All Nighter Waterproof Makeup Setting Spray - Urban Decay Cosmetics | Ulta Beauty
Clean Face Skincare 🧖🏻♀️
Completely takes off even my strongest waterproof mascara! I only need to use one cotton pad. I soak it, then hold the cotton against my eye for ten whole seconds, then wipe away. I soak the other side of the pad and repeat on other eye. Then wash my...
Holy Hydration! e.l.f. Off Waterproof Makeup Remover
I need my face to feel really clean at the end of the day. I want my skin to feel like my actual skin again. I’ve tried the extra gentle face washes. I feel like I’m washing my face with runny lotion. It’s terrible and I don’t feel like I’ve cleaned ...
Clean & Clear Essentials Oil-Free Foaming Facial Cleanser, 8 fl. oz
I use this eye cream every morning and night. It doesn’t give me a bad reaction, I’m pretty sensitive around the eyes. This never irritates me. And it also protects the thin skin around my eyes from the retinol I apply at night. So apply it beforehan...
Cetaphil Hydrating Eye Gel with Hyaluronic Acid - 0.5 fl oz
My favorite retinol, because it is strong without a prescription, and there’s no horrible odor. Smell is very minor compared to other strong retinols.
Rapid Wrinkle Repair Retinol Pro+ Night Moisturizer - Neutrogena | Ulta Beauty
I apply this after my retinol at night as a moisturizer. Good for my sensitive skin, but smells beautiful. When we cuddle in bed, my husband loves the scent. Definitely a favorite! Make sure it’s this specific one, because Olay has other night creams...
Olay, Night of Olay, Firming Night Cream, 1.9 fl oz
This is the most effective product at getting rid of painful pimples quickly! It is strong. Be careful about the fabric you use against your face, because it can “bleach” things a little bit. So if you wash it off, make sure you wash it off completel...
Clean & Clear Persa-Gel 10 Acne Treatment, Benzoyl Peroxide, 1 fl. oz
Because of my oily skin, I hate moisturizers to be completely honest. But hydration and SPF is so important!! So this is what I use for my oily skin. Doesn’t feel heavy at all.
Ultra-Light Moisturizing Lotion SPF 30 - CeraVe | Ulta Beauty
Because I hate the feel of moisturizers on my oily skin, this stuff is the way to go! For the days I don’t step out in the sun, only staying in home, this is all I need for skin hydration. Very lightweight, so it’s actually pleasant to apply.
Ultra-Light Moisturizing Gel - CeraVe | Ulta Beauty

THIS IS THE BEST CHAPSTICK EVER, HANDS DOWN!!!!!!!!!!!!! 🗣️ Period.
Truly. You have a problem keeping yourself hydrated and always have dry lips. This chapstick will do magic!! It feels amazing, not sticky. And your lips will be sooo healthy.
O’Keeffe’s Lip Repair Original Unscented Lip Balm, 0.15oz Sticks, 2 Pack
I use this lotion on my legs after every shower & shave. My skin is sensitive, and this has never given me a reaction. Thank goodness, because the reason I love it so much and choose it over everything else is because it’s very nostalgic for me. ...
Hinds Classic Body Lotion - 13.5 oz
Sometimes my hands get very dry from cold weather or after a day of cleaning. THIS STUFF IMMEDIATELY SAVES YOUR SKIN. It’s almost medicinal how well it works! It’s thick, but rubs in very well. Doesn’t leave you with that sticky feeling.
O'Keeffe's Working Hands Hand Cream Unscented - 3oz
I use these twice a year, that’s all you need. I want “Ross Geller” white teeth! 🤣 Or as close to it as I can get! So I love to use these. I’ve had no issues, no stinging sensitivity, nothing, I promise. Just follow directions on using two times a y...
Crest 3D Whitestrips Ageless Whitening Whitening Kit - 14ct
Since I’ve used this toothpaste, I don’t experience any sensitivity or chipping with my teeth. It works!! There is a distinct taste you’ll notice when you first start using it. It’s not bad at all. It’s just something about it you’re not used to if y...
Sensodyne Pronamel Intensive Enamel Repair Toothpaste - Clean Mint
Ok, when I say I’m a clammy person, that includes my armpits. Doesn’t matter what I do, diet, clothes, whatever, my armpits are always sweating. It’s so annoying. I think it’s because I’m a worrywart. I think stress is always triggering it. Anyway, t...
Dove Beauty Clinical Protection Original Clean Women's Solid Antiperspirant & Deodorant Stick - 1.7oz
For daytime or touch up’s, I LOVE to use this deodorant. The scent is sooo good. My husband always compliments me, saying I smell so good, after I’ve applied it. It has to be this “cool essentials” cucumber 🥒 one. And it has to be this spray. For so...
Dove Beauty Advanced Care Cool Essentials 72-Hour Women's Antiperspirant & Deodorant Dry Spray - 3.8oz
This gives your legs very natural color. Nothing orange about it at all. No dark spots in the joints. It’s so easy. It’s really like applying a thin layer of foundation to your legs, and it looks like you have a slightly darker shade of nylons on, be...
