Skincare (the base)
I keep going back to this. It's that perfect middle ground—hydrating enough for my dry days but light enough that my oily-skin friends love it too. Sinks in fast, no sticky residue."
Neutrogena Hydro Boost Water Gel
"I was skeptical until I tried it. This is the Supergoop dupe everyone talks about and honestly? It delivers. No white cast, sits beautifully under makeup, and for $9 I don't feel guilty reapplying."
Trader Joe's Face Products(9)
This is my no-makeup makeup when my skin needs a little help. Sheer, dewy, and somehow evens everything out without looking like anything at all.
Saie Slip Tint | Clean Tinted Moisturizer | Non-Toxic Beauty
Makeup
My brows look like better versions of themselves, not drawn on. If you want that fluffy, feathered 'I woke up like this' look, this is it.
Boy Brow | Tinted Brow Gel
I almost didn't try this because the price made me suspicious. Now it's my everyday base. It blurs without covering, glows without glitter.
Elf Halo Glow
The most forgiving bronzer I own. Melts right into skin, never patchy, and gives that just-came-from-beach glow even when I've been indoors for days.
Bronzino Illuminating Bronzer
A literal dot is enough. I've had mine for a year and it looks brand new. The color lasts all day and actually looks like my skin flushing naturally.
Rare Beauty Blush Shades
"I lose lip balms constantly. This one I guard with my life. It actually soaks in instead of sitting on top, and the vanilla scent is addictive."
Lip Butter Balm, Vanilla
I have dark circles under my eyes, and this is the only concealer that doesn't crease or look cakey by noon. It's thin but covers, and the ingredients actually treat your under-eyes instead of just covering them up.
Revealer Concealer
Hair
A few drops, mid-to-ends, and my hair looks like I actually tried. Heat protection, shine, and it doesn't feel greasy by hour three.
Olaplex No.7 Bonding Oil - 1 oz
Game changer for anyone who sleeps with their hair up. No creases, no tugging, and they don't stretch out after two wears.
Hair Ties & Scrunchies
I have frizz-prone hair and live somewhere humid. This is the difference between looking polished and looking... not.
The Shield Anti-Humidity Spray
I fought my frizz for years before trying this. It defines without crunch, smells like a dream, and my waves actually last past day one now.
dae Cactus Fruit 3-in-1 Styling Cream with Taming Wand Color: None Size: N/A
This lives in my bag, my desk, my nightstand. It fixes dry lips, dry cuticles, dry elbows—anything. Feels thick going on but sinks in and actually heals."
Lanolips Ultra Moisturizing 101 Ointment Multipurpose Superbalm
Body & Fragrance
The smell alone is worth it. But the texture? Smooth without being greasy, sinks in fast, and my skin actually feels different the morning after.
Brazilian Bum Bum Cream - Skin Tightening Body Cream
I couldn't justify the Le Labo price tag. This is 95% there for a fraction of the cost. Lasts hours, gets compliments, and people always ask what I'm wearing.
Santal 33 Dupe Perfume Inspired by Le Labo: Woody Sandalwood
Found this at Target and haven't shut up about it since. The scents are sophisticated (not sugary), the exfoliation is gentle but effective, and my skin stays soft even if I forget lotion.
KP Scrub - Reduce Bumps & Exfoliate For Smoother Skin
Sounds random but hear me out—clean girls have groomed brows. These are the only tweezers that grab every single hair on the first try. I've had mine for years.
