💸 UNDER $50 (Worth Every Penny)
✨ OVER $50 (Luxury Girl Era)
💸 UNDER $50 (Worth Every Penny)
I've been using this for like 6 months and... why was I paying more for other sponges? 😭 It blends foundation in seconds and makes everything look airbrushed. The only downside is that it tears if you're aggressive while washing it. Still my ride or...
Miracle Complexion Sponge + Concealer Sponge Duo - Real Techniques | Ulta Beauty
Okay... this literally changed my lashes. 😭 I've been using it for months and my lashes stay curled ALL day without pinching my eyelids. The only downside is that you'll eventually need replacement pads, but honestly? Worth it.
Shu Uemura Eyelash Curler
This tweezer has absolutely no business being this good. 😭 It grabs even the tiniest hairs without breaking them. The only downside is you'll never want to use a cheap tweezer again.
Pink Slant Tweezer - Tweezerman | Ulta Beauty
This thing lives in my bag rent-free. 🤚 One roll and my greasy forehead disappears without ruining my makeup. The only downside is you have to wash the stone regularly.
Oil-Absorbing Volcanic Stone Roller - Revlon | Ulta Beauty
I thought facial rollers were a scam... until I started keeping this in the fridge. It instantly depuffs my face and feels SO good in the morning. Don't expect miracles though—it's more of a temporary refresh than a permanent fix.
Jade Crystal Facial Roller - Skin Gym | Ulta Beauty
I've been using it almost every night for about 2 months, and it's become my favorite part of my nighttime routine. My face looks noticeably less puffy, my jawline looks a little more defined, and the cooling stone feels so relaxing after a long day....
Mount Lai Facial Lifting Gua Sha
This brush makes foundation look expensive. 😭 It blends everything so evenly with zero streaks. The only downside is the price... for a brush. But I get it now.
101 Contoured Foundation Brush - BK Beauty | Ulta Beauty
I didn't know I needed this until I bought it haha... Cleaning brushes is 10x faster now. The only downside? It doesn't magically make me want to wash my brushes.
Sigma Switch - Brush Cleaning Mat | Ulta Beauty
This cleaner deserves an award. My brushes dry in minutes instead of hours, and they actually smell clean. The only downside is the scent can be a little strong.
4.0 oz Original Makeup Brush Cleaner - Cinema Secrets | Ulta Beauty
Not exactly a necessity... but SO fun. 😭 The gems stay on surprisingly well and instantly make any makeup look feel editorial. The only downside is you'll start looking for excuses to wear face gems.
EUPHORIA X HALF MAGIC Self-Adhesive Face Gems - HALF MAGIC | Ulta Beauty
This is literally like a curling iron... for your lashes. My lashes stay lifted so much longer, especially with stubborn straight lashes. The only downside is that you have to wait a few seconds for it to heat up.
GrandeLASH-LIFT Heated Lash Curler - Grande Cosmetics | Ulta Beauty
This turned shampooing into a full spa experience. 😭 It feels AMAZING on my scalp and makes wash day so much more relaxing. The only downside is I end up washing my hair longer just because it feels too good. 😂
Sephora Collection Scalp Massager
Ten minutes later and my makeup suddenly looked 10x smoother. It gets rid of peach fuzz so foundation applies like butter. The only downside is you need to be careful around active breakouts.
Pro Dermaplaning Tool - Kitsch | Ulta Beauty
Whoever invented this deserves a raise. 😭 The tiny finger pocket makes setting my under eyes SO much easier, and my makeup literally looks filtered. The only downside is I somehow lose it every other week. 😂
Beautyblender Power Pocket Puff
✨ OVER $50 (Luxury Girl Era)
I felt ridiculous wearing this at first... now I'm emotionally attached to it. After a few weeks my skin looked calmer and brighter. The only downside is you actually need patience and consistency.
Glotech™ Pro Red Light Therapy Mask
Why did nobody tell me THIS mirror would expose every blending mistake? 😭 The lighting is amazing for makeup, but it's so honest it'll humble you real quick.
RIKI SKINNY | Lighted Makeup Mirror & Live Stream Device
I thought no hairbrush could be worth this much... and then I bought one. It glides through my hair so gently, reduces breakage, and somehow makes my hair look shinier. The only downside is explaining to people why your hairbrush costs this much.
Handy Boar Bristle Hairbrush B3
This brush made me question every foundation brush I've ever owned. 😭 It blends everything in seconds without leaving streaks. The only downside is cleaning it takes forever because it's so dense.
Elite Oval 7 Brush - Artis Brushes | Ulta Beauty
I genuinely thought this was a scam... until I saw what came out of my pores. 💀 It uses ultrasonic vibrations to help lift oil and gunk after cleansing, and my skin feels ridiculously smooth afterward. The only downside is that you have to use it on...
Blush DERMAPORE+ Ultrasonic Pore Extractor & Serum Infuser - DERMAFLASH | Ulta Beauty
This literally vacuums your pores... yes, VACUUMS. 😭 I was lowkey terrified the first time, but my nose looked so much cleaner afterward. The only downside is don't go overboard or you'll end up with a hickey on your face. 💀
KIWI Blackhead Remover Pore Vacuum - FOREO | Ulta Beauty
Imagine a tiny vacuum... for your lips. I laughed before trying it, but it actually gave me a fuller look for a few hours. The only downside is don't overdo it unless you want accidental duck lips. 🦆
Kiss Lip Plumping Collagen Boost System - PMD | Ulta Beauty
Fine... everyone was right. 😭 I've been using it for 4 months and my hair looks like I just left a salon every single time. The only downside is my bank account still hasn't recovered.
Airwrap Co-anda2x Multi-Styler and Dryer Straight+Wavy - Dyson | Ulta Beauty
Basically the reason people stopped gatekeeping good hair days. 🤍 It dries and styles so fast, and the curls last surprisingly well. The only downside is it's a little louder than I'd like.
FlexStyle Air Styling & Drying System - Shark Beauty | Ulta Beauty
This device made my skincare routine feel SO much fancier. My serums absorb better and my skin looks glowier the next morning. The only downside is you have to charge it pretty often.
Black Booster Pro - medicube | Ulta Beauty
