Lips
My favorite and only lip gloss that I use. The color is gorgeous and fits almost every skin undertone and color. You can build the product and make it more of a tint or add more color if you wish. I love to line my lips with a brown pencil and layer ...
Black Honey Pop Clinique Pop Plush Creamy Lip Gloss - Clinique | Ulta Beauty
Love this color! Its the exact brown shade I like to line my lips with.
Espresso Slim Lip Pencil - NYX Professional Makeup | Ulta Beauty
I LOVE this lipstick, it's genuinely the only color I wear. Its the perfect rusty red-brown for my skin tone, and you can use little pats of it on your lips for a tint or go full on with the pigment for a bolder look. It also isn't drying on my lips ...

Eyes
LOVE this mascara its the only one I use! It gives me volume and definition but it isnt super heavy on my eyes and the applicator doesnt cake the product onto my lashes.
Intense Pitch Black BADgal BANG! Volumizing Waterproof Mascara - Benefit Cosmetics | Ulta Beauty
This line of eyeshadow in general is amazing, but this color is so pretty and looks good on anyone! The glitter is so eye-catching and makes my eyes look alluring.
Ritz Super Shock Shadow - ColourPop | Ulta Beauty
Hair
I know you may look at the price and think its too much for some shampoo. But this isn't any ordinary shampoo! The lather on this stuff is INSANE! You really only need a dime size amount, and that applies to my head of think 4A hair too. This shampoo...
33.8 oz All Soft Shampoo - Redken | Ulta Beauty
Again, I know this is a lot of money up front, but when you buy the bulk size it will absolutely last you a year (as long as you arent using 15 pumps of conditioner every time you wash your hair).
33.8 oz Boost Apple Cider Vinegar Silicone-Free Conditioner - AG Care | Ulta Beauty
For all my curly girls, this mousse is a game changer when it comes to styling your curls. I put about four pumps total over soaking wet hair and diffuse to dry- this makes for juicy, defined curls that aren't weighed down. The product is so light we...
MOUSSE DEF Texture Foam® 7 oz
Skincare
This. This is my holy grail product. I use it for multiple things: When I notice I have some emerging acne, I'll put this on my clean skin before I moisturize (before bed!) and the next day my zits are noticeably smaller. This goes for facial and bod...
Glycolic Acid 7% Exfoliating and Brightening Daily Toner - The Ordinary | Ulta Beauty
I love to use this at the end of my nightly skincare routine to lock in the moisture. It is lightweight on the skin and I notice that if I have any inflammation, it'll go down the next morning and my face looks very refreshed.
100% Organic Cold-Pressed Rose Hip Seed Oil for Skin Elasticity - The Ordinary | Ulta Beauty
This is my favorite daily facial subscreen of all time. It's affordable, lightweight on the face, and leaves ZERO white cast on brown skin!!!
Ultra-Light Moisturizing Lotion SPF 30 - CeraVe | Ulta Beauty
This is my favorite face wash!!! It cleans very well without leaving my skin feeling stripped and dry. It's also great at taking off waterproof makeup since it's oil based.
12.0 oz Hydrating Foaming Oil Cleanser - CeraVe | Ulta Beauty
Body Care
These wipes stay in my purse and really come in handy during humid southern summers when I'm out and I need a refresh. These can be used on any part of the body and have a cooling effect as well.
Cool Cucumber | Deodorant Wipes (15 count)
This is the only deodorant worth buying in my opinion. This formula specifically is great because its both a deodorant and an antiperspirant, and the clean tangerine scent is my favorite from Lume. I love how with the cream, I can control how much pr...
Clean Tangerine | Cream Tube Deodorant | + Sweat Control
This body wash is perfect for the girls who feel like they're body wash isn't quite cutting it and they get musty half way through the day. It's gynecologist approved, so you can use it anywhere! Its extremely gentle as well.
Unscented | Acidified Body Wash
I use the bar version of their body wash for traveling by plane, so I can cut down on the amount of liquids I bring. The lather is amazing and it works just as well as the liquid version!
Unscented | Acidified Cleansing Bar
This is my favorite scented lotion. The vanilla scent smells warm and inviting, and pairs well with a perfume layered on top.
Vanilla Cashmere Shea Better 24HR Moisture Body Lotion - Eos | Ulta Beauty
I do not use wash cloths or loofahs anymore, I only use an african sponge. Its long enough that you can wash your entire back, and doesnt hold onto mildew like a cloth or loofah because it dries very fast. It feels a bit rough the first couple of use...
African Net Sponge with Knots for Deep Cleansing
I LOVE this electric razor. If you hate razor bumps you should consider getting this. It's very affordable, and considering the fact that you only have to buy this one time and it doesn't need refills. It comes with multiple guards and the charge las...
Philips Norelco OneBlade 360: Face + Body | Philips Norelco
Fragrances
I love this scent, its very balanced and well-rounded. This is a scent I would wear when I want to feel sophisticated and mature. If you like oud and gourmand scents this is for you!
Sexual Oud Rouge
This is for the girlies who wish they could smell like vanilla extract all day. Its sweet, simple, yet not overtly sugary; it has a warmth to it that makes it a little more grown up.
Pure Vanilla
This is the perfume that got me into fragrances. It's such an addicting scent that gets better the longer it sits on the skin. If you wanna smell warm, spicy, and delicious this is for you!
Yves Saint Laurent - 3.0 oz Black Opium Eau de Parfum
