Some of my favorite skincare products at both high and low price points!

As a girl who loves everything beauty related, Sephora is my go-to place. It is where I buy most of my beauty products, so here is a list of my Sephora essentials including both skincare and makeup products!

I'm not a morning person. For years, I either skipped makeup entirely or got stuck perfecting one step until I was late. This routine was my breakthrough it’s four core products (plus one optional superstar) that work together seamlessly. No fancy tools needed, just fingers. This is the bare-minimum edit that makes me look awake, healthy, and put-together in the time my toast is in the toaster.

A complete breakdown of my full face routine, including all the makeup products I used, the face wash I prepped with, plus the tools and brushes that helped me apply everything.

I had to adjust my skincare routine when I got pregnant, here is what has been working for me:

Today a girl asked me: does this cushion cover my skin texture? And I was thinking about what a cushion really is. That’s makeup, not a miracle. Our skin can be full of pimples, imperfections, redness, skin texture… But this is just a limited time coverage! We can’t expect to find a real life filter, because, hey! Our skin HAS imperfections and that’s awesome ✨ I’ve tried many cushions, and loved and hated some of them. If you find a bad recommendation that you loved it’s fine too, everyone has a different skin and only us know how it works 🩷. I'm including here cushion foundations and compact powders cushions as well, hope you enjoy it!!

especially if you like a natural look and have fine hair like me :)

My holy grail products for dry skin! Winter and fall can be hard with the wind and cold weather, but these products help me keep a flawless base 🤍

Beauty products that work.. Especially for my oily combination skin girlies..

My hair journey has been a long one, and it’s still not over (sigh). However, as I have progressed, I have learned many things. I have tried an ungodly number of products, from those that promise growth to expensive salon shampoos to “special” brushes meant to define my curls. After a lot of money wasted, I am finally on a consistent hair routine. These products and supplements are ones I have been using for years now, and are in-between budget-friendly and expensive. Some items lean a little more one way or the other. But I promise, worth it!!

My 13 year old daughter has great taste and knows what she likes. She seems pretty plugged into the young teen trends so I thought I'd share some of her favorites here since it can be SO hard to buy for them (if they aren't always telling you what they want like mine is), but I know it's hard for other family members to know what they like.
