items I have used several of these products for 15+ years and have tried every dupe I could get my hands on! These are products that are staples in my beauty routine and cannot be replaced with another product in my opinion.

Makeup
Incredible full coverage. I have been using this powder for over 15 years and have yet to find anything better! I have tried so many products trying to find an inexpensive alternative and it does not exist. This powder is my holy grail of face makeup...
Studio Fix Powder Plus Foundation | 67 Shades
If you're looking for the OG version of UD's setting spray, this is what you want! These folks own the patent for the original formula and it is far superior to the newly released UD all-nighter setting spray!
The Makeup Finishing Spray
I swear by this pencil. It is inexpensive, has good coverage, and doesn't leave my eyebrows with that weird waxy look to them afterwards! Very natural looking. I use this in combination with the NYX Micro brow pencil for a flawless application.
Dual-Ended Precision Brow Pencil | NYX Professional Makeup
Love the precision of this pencil! I like to trace the outline of my eyebrows with this pencil and fill in the middle with the NYX Precision brow pencil. It has a very natural look upon application, I get compliments on my eyebrows at least once a we...
Micro Brow Eyebrow Pencil | NYX Professional Makeup
Perfect for setting those brows! I like to apply my eyebrows the night before to save time in the mornings so I use this to set them and they are nearly flawless still in the morning! Also sweat proof!!
Clear Brow Gel
This is a really solid foundation for a very reasonable price! I won't say it's completely sweat-proof like they claim (working outside all day? Not going to hold up), but it does hold up against minor sweating and water! It's also really buildable f...
Power Play Foundation
Hair
Top tier hydration and repair!! I've never found a product that can make my hair feel even remotely as luxurious as olaplex's bond maintainer!
Nº.6 BOND SMOOTHER®
Another product that I've used for nearly my whole life (20+ years), and I have yet to find something better! I've tried other hot tools that have worked well, but none as good as Chi. It heats within seconds and gets all of my fly-aways laying down ...
CHI Flat Irons and Hair Straighteners
Talk about a spa treatment for your scalp!! This is one product I like to splurge on when I want to give my scalp a luxurious treatment. Just a quarter-sized amount will create a huge lather that leaves your scalp/hair feeling so clean and rejuvenate...
Cleansing Purifying Scrub with Sea Salt
This stuff is the best and so worth the price! It has a slight hold to it (almost like a light hold hairspray) that helps to tackle any fly-aways/frizz and the smell is amazing!! I straighten my hair every other day and this is a staple in my routine...
Thermal Styling Spray 19
Skin Care
Received this is my IPSY bag years ago and have been hooked since! I've tried a few different lip sleeping masks, and this is the only one that hydrates my dry, cracked lips in ONE night!
Lip Sleeping Mask Nourish & Hydrate
Game changer for if you break out in those tiny red bumps due to dry skin like I do! I tend to break out in a rash when my skin is super dry or I've been sweating excessively, this corrects the bumps overnight! I rarely have to use a 2nd night. Great...
Cicaplast Balm B5 for Dry Skin Irritations
One of the few makeup removers I've tried that didn't strip my skin, didn't make me overly oily, and didn't have an overpowering smell. The balance is just right and there is no odor! My skin doesn't feel clean until I take micellar water to it!
Garnier Micellar Water Hydrating Cleanser
This stuff zaps blemishes so fast! 9 times out of 10, if I apply this as soon as a blemish is beginning to appear, it'll be gone by the next day!
Target Acne Fast & Heal Your Skin with Salicylic Acid Serum
Nails
The best for a quick nail improvement! I love to apply these while I'm traveling as there is no mess and I can easily apply as I'm riding passenger. They typically last me about a week before beginning to chip, and I'm pretty tough on my nails!
Shop All Gloss Gel Nail Strips – High‑Shine Style
If you're like me and can't seem to keep your freshly painted nails from chipping within the first day, these are for you! I often want my nails done for an event, but don't have the time or want to put forth the effort for one night. These strips ap...
Color Street
Glass nail files are a game changer! You can file in any direction without worry of ripping your nails, you can file the top surface of your nails, and you can use them on your skin to get rid of rough patches and hang nails!
Precision Glass Nail File | Smooth, Shape & Strengthen
Health and Wellness
This stuff works like magic for instant nausea relief!! There's two ends - one for inhaling and one for adding drops to your nose so that you may have continuous relief
