The products I will forever use!
The ONLY thing that helped clear my acne. LIFESAVER!
ExfoliKate® Cleanser Daily Foaming Wash
This moisturizer is so thick and creamy, I absolutely love how velvety it is. Keeps my skin moisturized and feels lovely on my skin.
Confidence in a Cream Anti-Aging Hydrating Moisturizer
I LOVE this oil. I had a facial one time, where instead of a cream moisturizer, she used grape seed oil on my face, and I have been using it since. I love it because I can use my gua-sha with it, and it absorbs really nicely. Under my makeup, it give...
Organic Grapeseed Oil
I mix this half and half peptide cream with my moisturizer and love the way it feels on my skin. It's very creamy and silky, and absorbs really nicely.
Half & Half Lightweight Moisturizer With Peptides & Ceramides - Prequel
I spray this on my face in the morning as part of my skin prep and I love the way it wakes me up and keeps my skin fresh looking. I think it's a dupe for the Tower 28 brand face spray.
e11ement Hypochlorous Acid Face & Skin Spray
This mask is great and affordable! I use it nightly for 20 minutes at a time, and I find it's really effective on fine lines and wrinkles.
Megelin LED Red Light Therapy Face Mask: Enhance Skin Health at Home
This exfoliating treatment is hands down the best one I've ever used. It has small, exfoliating beads, and honestly, it burns a little bit in the beginning but then fades quickly. It makes my skin so soft, so supple, and it's one of my favorite masks...
ExfoliKate® Intensive Exfoliating Treatment
These pads are amazing. They actually make my skin glow. It's such a gentle exfoliation, you can honestly use it daily, though I try to spread out more during the week so they last me a bit longer. I typically use every 3 days, as I alternate my nigh...
Alpha Beta® Universal Daily Peel
This oil is so lovely to use and smells divine. I mix it in with my night cream and use it on my face, neck, and décolletage. It feels great on my skin, and if I can spare it, I use it on my arms and sometimes on my legs. Keeps my skin clear and I lo...
Blue Facial Oil - Soothe and Nourish Your Skin with Anti-Inflammation by ...
I double cleanse every day, and I swear, it has done wonders for my skin. This oil feels so lovely on my skin, and helps remove all of the debris and makeup from the day. I rinse it off gently and then go in with my cleanser, and my skin feels wonder...
Anua Heartleaf Pore Control Cleansing Oil
I have the facial and the body brush, and when used daily, these tools make my skin SO SOFT. They are excellent at removing dry or flaky skin, and bringing out a healthy glow.
Zen Me Naturals: Dry Body Brush | Skin Brush | Dry Brush for Face
Used after my nightly skincare routine, just to make sure I get all of the extra makeup, sunscreen, and lotions off of my skin before I use my red light mask. Doesn't try my skin out or make it feel tight, and gets EVERYTHING off.
Garnier Micellar Cleansing Water Skin Care Products
This oil is amazing. And works amazing. It is so soothing and feels so nice on your skin, and after about 6 months of using it consistently, has made my bikini area smooth without any in-growns. FINALLY!
Bushbalm
My son had such dry, chapped hands this winter, and I found Bag Balm at my local TJ Maxx and wanted to give it a try. With consistent use for about 4 days, his hands were completely renewed and SOFT. I've heard you can use it on your décolletage for ...
Bag Balm
So hydrating and makes a manicure look refreshed! I have a bottle and one that can travel and go in my purse and I've re-bought several times!
Nail & Cuticle Oil 0.5 oz
I actually really like these. They're a decent dupe for my Dr. Dennis Gross pads, but they can leave your skin a bit sticky feeling, so I use them at night. When I wake up in the morning, the sticky feeling is gone, but my skin looks great!
Medicube Zero Pore Pads 2.0 Facial Toner
Definitely notices that it brightens up my undereyes!
Probio-Cica Bakuchiol Eye Cream
I actually bought this after I had a facial and found a great deal on the TikTok shop. I use it pretty religiously, roughly 2-3 times a week with the grapeseed oil I have linked below. I use the flat pancake attachment all over my face for about 3-5 ...
Pure Daily Care NuDerma Handheld Skin Therapy Wand
I absolutely love the cooling effect this mask has. Once applied, it takes about 30 seconds to start working, and it is lovely. I even love using a hand-held fan on my face with it to give it that extra ooph. My skin always looks firm without that ov...
Cryo-Flash Mask - Pore Refining + Firming Gel-Cream Face Mask
This is a beautiful and clean product. I use it about once a week and it leaves my skin so soft and supple. The exfoliation is so gentle because the micro beads are so small. Great product from a great company.
Whipped Exfoliating Mask - Renew and Revitalize Your Skin with DIME Beauty
I actually got this in a sample when I purchased my first cleanser from Kate Somerville and I LOVE IT. For a while, I was using it incorrectly and gently swirling the bottle, but all you need to do is stick the q-tip in and pull it out with the solut...
EradiKate® Acne Skin Care Treatment
I use this gua sha daily with my grapeseed oil, and I absolutely love that it is stainless steel so it doesn't harbor bacteria. I'm able to throw it in the dishwasher or wash it with a cleanser and know unlike a porous stone, that it is clean. I find...
Nuanchu Stainless Steel Gua Sha Facial Tool
In the winter I do not wear tinted sunscreen because I do not have a tan, and this sunscreen I love! It leaves my skin non-greasy yet hydrated. I wear it every day.
La Roche-Posay Toleriane Double Repair SPF 30
Makeup
The literal best foundation I have ever used. It is full coverage, but doesn't feel full coverage. It sits on my skin so lightly, and gives such a flawless, beautiful finish. I've been using it for 10 years now.
CC+ Cream Full-Coverage Foundation with SPF 50+
I typically use a full coverage foundation, but in the summer, I prefer to use something lighter on my skin. I heard about Typology, and wanted to try it out because it is a makeup and serum in one. It gives me a lovely, subtle glow and blends out re...
Tinted Serum Vitamin C + Aloe Vera
WITHOUT A DOUBT my favorite sunscreen in the world. I wear it every day, during every season, and in the summer, it doubles as a very light coverage “makeup”. I add a little blush and a little mascara over it, and my makeup is done for the day!
Tinted Glow Wonderscreen® SPF 30
Honestly, I get so many compliments on “how tan I am” when I wear this contour stick. It so beautifully compliments my complexion, I feel kind of naked without it.
Match Stix Contour Skinstick — Amber
HANDS DOWN the best mascara on the market. I have used it for 5 years now, and trust me, I've switched to other brands to give them a try as well. It separates, elongates, and darkens my lashes, and is never flaky. Also, comes off very easily with ma...
Lash Sensational Sky High® Waterproof Mascara Makeup
My favorite setting spray. I've used a few, and this one holds it's quality. AND it's affordable. Keeps my makeup put all night (let's be real, until like 10 pm) and dries quickly!
Lasting Makeup Mist and Setting Spray
The only lip balm I use anymore. The ingredients are perfection, so clean and the scents and flavors are divine. I buy the 5 pack regularly, and I keep them in every pocket, purse, and car console!
NATURAL LIP BALM - Primally Pure Skincare
I brush it over my face lightly after using concealer, and it gives me nice, subtle coverage. Been using it for years!
Foundation Makeup | Powder & Liquid ...
I use the shade Kiss of Copper and it is hands down my most favorite blush. It is so pigmented, and because I have olive undertones in my skin, it brings out a really beautiful color (especially in the summer) on my face. Used with primer and a setti...
GEN NUDE® BLONZER® Blush + Bronzer
The only tool I use to blend and apply my foundations and concealer. I've tried using other tools, and I just keep coming back to this.
Beauty Blender
This is honestly an amazing dupe for the Laneige lip mask. And it's like $5 or something! Decided to give it a try one day, and it did not disappoint!
Vanilla Lip Mask
Beautiful lip oil. Right amount of shine, right about of moisture. It gives a subtle pop of color when I want to use more than just lip balm.
Tinted Lip Oil Squalane 10% + Vitamin E
I love this grippy primer. My make-up really adheres to it nicely because it is tacky, which I love. So coupled with an amazing setting spray, my makeup lasts all day.
Milk Makeup Hydro Grip Gripping Primer
It literally keeps my lips so soft and hydrated, I'm just disappointed in the price.
Lip Sleeping Mask Nourish & Hydrate
This foundation is so smooth and luxurious. It is on the pricer side, so I use it more for special occasions, but when I do, it makes my skin look like silk. It doesn't feel cakey or heavy at all, it's very lightweight and *so far* I have not noticed...
Teint Idole Ultra Wear Breathable Coverage Foundation - Lancôme
Haircare
My hair is SO easily prone to frizz in the humidity, and this helps tame it for sure! I spray it on my damp hair and comb through, then blow dry with a round brush. Keeps my hair smooth, even in the humidity.
Dream Coat Supernatural Spray | The #1 Anti-Frizz Treatment
The BEST, BEST, BEST hair oil I've used. It never, ever leaves my hair feeling greasy or heavy. I use one pump on my mid-length hair, and my hair drinks it up. It keeps it shiny, smooth and flowy, and it is a product I use every time I blow dry my ha...
ghost™ oil | shine + smooth frizz
This mask is amazing to use to freshen up and give your hair a good moisturize. Smells DIVINE.
nourishing hair mask for dry hair : soulfood
A great heat protectant! I use it every time before styling.
ghost™ primer | verb® products
Love that I have this as a backup for my mids to ends when I forget to condition in the shower. Leaves my hair smooth!
VERB Vegan Leave-In Mist Spray Conditioner
I have REALLY high hopes for this oil and will report back once I've used it for a month or so. I read online to sleep with it in, so I've had it in my hair for 8 hours. Keeping my fingers crossed that it helps with growth in some sparse areas.
CVS
This thing is awesome. When you give yourself (or receieve) a blowout and you want to preserve it for a few days, it keeps your hair PERFECT, even after you've slept on it. It's got a little bit of a learning curbe to it, so definitely watch the tuto...
Sleepy Tie
I have only used this twice and immediately felt like my hair was more voluminous even after one wash. I double cleanse my hair and I could tell it cleaned and lifted my roots once blow dried.
Dr. Groot Hair Thickening Shampoo with Biotin & Rosemary Oil
Bathroom & Shower Essentials
My favorite mouthwash. Keeps my breath smelling and tasting great for hours! I use it after I brush and floss :)
Mouthwash | Fresh Breath, Anticavity & More
Honestly, this scrub is awesome. It makes my skin so, so soft, and so glowy. Be aware, though, it is VERY messy. Your showered will be covered in coffee grounds, but it's worth it!
Original Coffee Scrub | Body Exfoliant
I use this pumice stone in the shower every other time, and my feet are smooth, soft, and supple, like I just got a pedicure. Perfect!
Mr. Pumice Callus Remover PUMI Bar Pedicure Stone
I really like this toothpaste, but I love the fact that it contains no flouride! I wish the mint flavor lasted a bit longer, but coupled with my mouthwash, I've got it covered!
Davids Toothpaste
THROW OUT YOUR LOOFAH! This bath cloth is the best thing I've used in the shower. It lathers up really well and exfoliates your skin while you wash. I love it. Keeps my skin silky and smooth and is a great addition to my shower routine.
Adeton African Net Sponge with Knots - Exfoliating Bath Cloth
THIS MITT. I read some reviews, and I really wasn't sure how well it actually worked. But it's wonderful. I typically stand in the shower for a few minutes, and then shut it off and exfoliate my body with this mitt. When I tell you the dead skin flak...
Seraphic Skincare Premium Exfoliating Mitt
My kids love the flavors of these toothpastes, especially the orange one. They're a great flouride-free alternative with a great price tag!
Himalaya Kids Toothpaste Variety Pack, 4oz x3
Nails
This polish is awesome and great for your nails. I don't get my nails done often. I like gel, but it absolutely ruins my nails. I like the bare look more than polish, and this is a happy medium. It has a very opaque finish, very subtle and pretty. I ...
Manucurist
Fragrance
This is my go-to summer scent. It smells absolutely delicious, I always get complimented on it, and it's CLEAN. All of DIME's fragrances are. I bought the sample pack about a year ago so I could test some of my favorite scents, and this one was by fa...
7 Summers® Perfume - A Luxurious Blend of Juicy Pear ...
