Smoothness for days

I love that this product does not feel greasy on my face and that I can actively feel that my skin is softer just a few hours after application. It’s a great addition to my routine!
Glycolic Acid 7% Exfoliating Toner
1
Â
I use this after applying my cleanser. I love how it smells, but it also doesn’t cause me any acne and it makes a visible difference in skin blemishes (pores, discoloration, etc.) I also love that I’m supporting a brand that fights animal testing whe...
Happy Skin | Radiant Skin Enzyme Facial Exfoliator
Â
I personally have the coffee scented version, but this feels so good. I have constantly chapped lips and this has helped me more than any lip balm has. If you happen to accidentally eat it, it really does just taste like sugar…
Champagne Toast Lip Scrub
Â
This new product is AMAZING, especially since I deal with really dry skin when the seasons change. Immediately love it!
PHA 5% Exfoliating Lip Serum
Â
This is actually helpful for acne, as long as it isn’t used too much. Definitely use this product alongside sunscreen, as recommended
Advantages of Retinol - Skincare
Moisturizer
Cracked skin be gone!
Â
This moisturizer is lightweight and easy to apply. I was actually gifted it by a family member and I ended up loving it!
Face Moisturizer | Face Cream
Â
I use this alongside the Bath & Body Works exfoliating lip scrub and it is a GOD SEND. I wear it before I go to bed and wake up with lips that aren’t peeling or anything. It also smells way too good…
Vanilla Lip Mask
Â
This is so good for the colder months and it doesn’t feel heavy. I also like that the container easily fits in my bag!
Thirst No More - Moisturizer
Â
I don’t know if anyone needs a 14oz tub of aquaphor, but it is the only product I have used for chapped lips (and occasional eczema) that soothes and heals. I hope I’m wrong and there is more stuff that works, but this is like liquid gold to me haha....
Aquaphor® Healing Ointment 14oz | Multi-Purpose
Primer
Keeps everything where it needs to be!
Â
My makeup stays in place and I’ve found I have less acne when I use this product under makeup. It’s super helpful and stays on for a while
e.l.f. Hydrating Face Primer Large - 1.01 fl oz
Â
It’s a primer, sunscreen, and highlighter in one! It doesn’t feel greasy or heavy to me, which is fantastic. Only wish the bottle was a little bigger
Suntouchable Whoa Glow Makeup Primer with SPF 30
Body Care
Â
Applying this lotion after showering feels the best. I’m partial to the vanilla scent, but they all smell amazing and can be personalized to you!
eos Body Care Collection | Lotion, Shave Cream & More
Â
I cannot explain how much I love this. It makes you smell so good, to the point where I’m smelling it hours after use. It’s great for girlies after shaving. I think it’s a nice touch to my routine and just lets me zone out and enjoy.
Dove Exfoliating Body Scrubs
Â
I have used many razors but I think this one works best! I hardly get any cuts when I use it and the blades are easy to replace. I love the color combinations too, it just adds a fun personal flair.
The Razor Starter Kit
Â
These are probably the most expensive on my list. These perfumes are not super strong and they just make me happy to use. I have the purple one! I asked for this for the holidays— there are also smaller travel versions if you want to try out a scent.
Fragrance - Perfumes & Body Mists
Hair Care
Â
I have somewhat wavy hair and this really helps to keep my hair from getting frizzy. It smells like oranges and vanilla and does make me very happy :)
Happy Soul Leave-In Conditioner | Detangle, Smooth & Protect
Â
This little tube has saved my hairstyle so many times. It lasts for a while and it keeps any fly-aways at bay. I seriously don’t know what I did without it.
Garnier Fructis Sleek & Shine Frizz Tamer Serum
Â
I use this once a week to refresh my hair. It leaves my hair feeling so smooth and visibly reduces any orange-y tones that appear.
Bust Your Brass: cool blonde toning + strength repair mask​
Â
Helps me with frizz if I use it on damp hair and let my hair air dry. One of the pricier recs, but it’s lasted me a while and works well
Moroccanoil Treatment Original
Cleanser
Â
Super lightweight cleanser that comes in travel size and full size. It makes my skin so soft and gets rid of blemishes pretty quickly.
Dermatologist-Recommended Cleanser For Face & Body
Â
Old reliable! There are many varieties to suit different skin types. I also like using it as a body wash (alongside a scented body wash) because it isn’t harsh on the skin.
