One of my more expensive recs but it's super gentle (I say as someone with sensitive/oily skin), which is something that is reallt important to me.

I use this EVERY day, it's so lightweight and doesn't give me that oily look or white cast.

I tend to spend more money on hair care then anything else, so here is my “your hair looks/smells so good!” list
makes my hair smell so good, soft, and actually moisturezed. My hair is so easy to detangle after using the conditioner. The bottles are HUGE too so this can last you the whole year coming from someone whoo washes her hair everyweek.

Definitely on the “I got money to spend” side. But as a curly hair girlie who lives in a tropical climate, I fight humidity everyday and this really helps my hair not revert in the heat.
5.3 oz The Shield Anti-Humidity Spray - amika - Ulta Beauty
When I say no frizz, I mean NO frizz!
L'Oreal Elvive Dream Lengths Frizz Killer Serum
I use this queen every 2 weeks for my mid week “refreshes”, and it always leaves my hair moisturerized especially since my hair is low porosity!
amika Soulfood Nourishing Hair Mask 100ml
Definitely on my list for "expensive products that actually work". I love this bonding oil and it can be used as a heat protectant or can be used to add some shine to your hair :3

I've always struggled with setting sprays not working and this is the only one that has worked. It even lasted my breakup tears so that means something to me LOL<3
L'Oreal Paris Infallible 3-Second Setting Spray
Love this becasue it's very buildable, and doesn't make my lashes look clumpy. And yes it is easy to wash off which is great for me because taking off mascara used to me my least favorite thing until I got this!
Maybelline Lash Sensational Sky High Mascara
I used to use regular dish soap to clean my brushes but I started breaking out, so I switched to an actual brush cleaner and it's makes me feel more cleaner and keeps the qaulity of my brushes up to par as well! (and I havn't broken out since I switc...
