My go-to recommendations for everyday wear. Can be found at ALDI, Walmart, Target, Trader Joe's, etc.
Smudge proof! Stays on all day, great for daily wear. Comes off easily.
COVERGIRL: Mascara
Great for adding a pop of color and moisturizing all day!
Maybelline Baby Lips Moisturizing Lip Balm
The best foundation, hands down! Sweat proof (I use this at amusement parks), all day wear. Having SPF is a must too.
Revlon ColorStay Liquid Foundation Oily Skin
Fun, with a very natural color unique to you! Moisturizing as well.
Mood Lips Color Changing Lipstick 12H
Comes in several different shades, so you can match your outfit and skin tone. You only need this one stick for your eyelashes and cheeks. Lasts all day!
NYX PROFESSIONAL MAKEUP Jumbo Eye Pencil
I cannot recommend ELF products enough, ESPECIALLY their multi-face sticks. I have 5 different ELF multi-face sticks I toggle through, depending on the outfit.

Wearing hats when outdoors for an extended period of time is a key part of skincare. My go-to hats are always Furtalk hats. Why? They are weatherproof, UPF 80+, and are travel friendly (they can be crumpled and packed in a suitcase, and still maintai...
FURTALK
Sunscreen is a must! Neutrogena has been the most consistent brand for sunscreen, in my experience. Be sure to re-apply often.
All Sun Protection Products | NEUTROGENA®
Great facial sunscreen for sensitive skin. Very important for every day wear; light on the face. Layers well with other products.
Daily Facial Sunscreen SPF 40
A great deodorant if you are prone to sweating, like I am! Keeps me dry all day long, no matter where I put it.

A huge part of skincare is staying hydrated. I've tested out lots of water bottles, and the Owala 24 oz FreeSip is my absolute favorite. No leaks, durable, and you can pick out one in your favorite colors!
FreeSip® Water Bottle

You can totally dye your hair at home! This brand is great for sensitive scalps, and the dye settles nicely.
Wella colorcharm 12N High Lift Blonde Permanent Cream Hair Color
This is perfect for sensitive scalps; I recommend only leaving this only your hair for 20-30 minutes before rinsing.
ion Color Brilliance Sensitive Scalp 30 Volume Creme Developer
Leave this on your hair for a few minutes after color!
Ion After Color Treatment Packette by Color Brilliance
Bar none, the best mousse for my curls! I have wavy/loose “s” curls. This mousse helps me maintain their shape, and manage the frizz.
Coconut Curls Decadent Creamy Mousse
The only leave-in conditioner I use! It is paraben and sulfate-free. Best of all, it is very lightweight (which is super important to not weigh down my fine hair).
