Skincare
This is the core skincare I need to make sure my skin is clear and fresh for whatever comes next.
This face wash is perfect for skin that leans more towards the dry side. It leaves my face feeling fresh and clean without feeling stripped.
Lipikar Wash AP+ Moisturizing Body & Face Wash
This absorbs into my skin really well and is affordable. If it’s good for the barrier, it’s great for me!
Hydrating Milky Toner
This product is key for helping lock in the moisture in my dryer skin and a little goes a long way!
Advanced Snail 96 Mucin Power Essence
Like all products from this brand, it’s a great amount that lasts a long time, and you don’t have to drown your face in it for it to be effective. Great for lasting moisture!
Lipikar Body Lotion for Normal to Dry Skin
Body & Scents
Everyone has a signature scent, and mine is vanilla for sure. All my gourmet girls, hop in. This is for us!
Dove is my hygiene staple and this scent is the starting building block for my scent layering. It has a very clean vanilla scent.
Shea Butter Beauty Bar
I love the suds and the scent on this product. It feels so soothing on my skin and the lather is my favorite among vanilla body washes I’ve used.
Being Frenshe Renewing and Hydrating Body Wash with Niacinamide
Deodorant is always essential, but effective deodorant that adds to your signature scent is even better.
Advanced Care Shea Butter Antiperspirant Dry Spray
The lotion works so well paired with an oil for more moisture and the scent refuses to be ignored, which is my preference.
Shea Better Vanilla Cashmere Body Lotion ...
This has to be my favorite body oil ever. It locks in moisture really well and the scent is top tier, my favorite sub scent of vanilla.
Anything Glows
Makeup for touch ups
For a quick look that still has me feeling pretty and confident in a rush, these are the go-to picks.
The application is so quick, easy, and buildable. Once I found my shade match, this was what I always ran to on a time crunch.
Color Perfect™ Foundation Stick, Beautiful Bronze
If you have sparse brows like me but are going for a natural look, eyebrow tinting has saved me from the blocky brows of the past. Put it on right after skincare and let it sit through touchups and getting dressed, and you’ll unveil a new you.
Maybelline Brow Tattoo Longlasting Tint Dark Brown 4.9ml
This mascara is the one that taught me how mascara is supposed to look. It works so well even on my extremely curled eyelashes.
L'Oreal Paris Voluminous Lash Paradise Mascara
I love glosses over lipstick on my more natural makeup looks, and NYX butter gloss has never steered me wrong. I get the shine and pop of color to seal the look.
