This is perfect if you're looking for light coverage that doesn't leave you feeling oily. It mixes really well with a heavier foundation for fuller coverage. And you really can't beat the price point.
Deep 620 Clean Fresh Skin Milk Foundation - CoverGirl
A classic and still the best. Do you remember when these first launched and everyone wanted it? Well, it is STILL that girl for me. These colors are unmatched and I have never been able to find a color pallet that's better. If it ain't broke, don't f...
Naked Eyeshadow Palettes
Such a good long lasting plumper and IT DOESN'T STING. It's got this minty fresh feeling, but other than that, it just feels like lipgloss. Not to mention, the color is gorgeous.
I’ve been using this mascara for almost a decade. I swear by it. Not only does it leave my lashes looking longer and fuller, but I've never had an issue with it clumping. I buy the color brown (NEVER waterproof).
Lash Sensational Sky High® Washable Mascara
Different lighting modes with a rechargeable battery AND it's really cute. Compact, so it's good for travelling too!

COVERGIRL Perfect Point Plus Eyeliner, 228 Toffee, 0.008 oz
This has great coverage. I love using it during the summer months when I get a little bit of a tan. Goes on smoothe and doesn't get cakey.
This is literally the only brow stuff I've ever used. Found it when I was in high school (over a decade ago) and have never looked back. I'm in huge trouble if they ever discontinue it. My brows look natural when wearing it and it is incredibly user ...
Milani Stay Put Brow Color, Brunette - Walmart.com
I have had the hardest time finding the perfect shade of red lipstick. Sometimes they're too purple. Other times, they're too orange. When I tell you this one is perfect, TRUST. I've tried a million different shades in a million different brands. Thi...

Renewing SA (Salicylic Acid) Cleanser | Face Wash
I swear by gua sha ❤️ I got complimented early on in my weightloss journey for the amount of weight I'd lost in my face, but I'm pretty sure it was due to my use of my gua sha daily. It helps to get your lymphatic system moving and decreases swelling...

Smells so fresh and makes my skin FEEL like butter. I love putting this on after a shower before bed.
Ciroa Almond Milk & Manuka Honey Body Butter
Gorgeous body oil with a warm scent. PERFECT for the summer. This one doesn't have a whole lot of shimmer, so if you're worried about the glitter transffering to your clothes and furniture, this one is a better option for you.
Okay, I'm OBSESSED with the Crumbl Dove collab. They all smell incredible but the Tres Leches scent is my favorite. Am I a basic white girl for loving this? Maybe. But, I genuinely don't care.
Dove Crumbl Limited Edition Body Wash Tres Leches, 20 fl oz
I've went through about 10 of these body scrubs. I love using this before a shave and getting a really good, smooth shave leaving behind soft skin. The Birthday Cookie scent is my favorite of the body scrubs.

A little goes a long way with this oil. This helps sooooo much with dry ends and it smells so good!

Great budget friendly leave in conditioner for when I forget to order milk shake. This also smells great.
