Thin lips run in my family and I spent years overdrawing my lip liner like it was a competitive sport. If you've watched every lip filler consultation video but your wallet (or your needle phobia) keeps saying no, this is the lineup that finally gave me visible fullness. Took me two years and a lot of returns to narrow it down, so save yourself the trouble.
All non-comodogenic products that I've already used at an acne prone girly with combination skin. My skin varies a lot depending on where I am and the climate I'm in (for example if its more humid I have oilier skin and need to use light-weight moisturisers and vice versa) - so adding the best products for different conditions as someone who travels a bunch! I use a mix of pharmacy products (because I'm currently based in France), with Sephora products and asian skincare. I love trying new products so that is why you can probably find a range of different products higher end and more affordable products (leaning to more affordable as a student 😛), so I don't use all of these products currently at the same time. I also have relatively sensitive skin and prefer non scented products, keeping in mind I had really bad acne when I was 14 so I was on roaccutane for almost a year which has really helped me cope 🫶. I also want to note that I used a few Cerave products that I liked but decided not to add them to the list given certain allegations about the quality of the products :). I hope this will be useful for you - I know 15 year old me would have greatly appreciated all of this!!!

Skin flooding has completely changed my skin barrier health. I try a lot of new products regularly, and doing this has improved my skin drastically. "Skin flooding is a skincare technique where you layer multiple hydrating products on damp skin to deeply moisturize and improve texture.”
You spray perfume in the morning, walk out the door, and by lunch it's completely gone. Meanwhile someone walks past you at 4pm and smells incredible. The difference is layering. I spent way too long buying random body washes and lotions that clashed with my perfume before I figured out how to match scent families. This is the exact lineup that gets me compliments from strangers at the grocery store.

As someone with very dry and mildly acne prone skin, it can often be hard to find products that are not only nourishing and hydrating but prevent clogging pores and initiating breakouts. I'm always so easily influenced and eager to try new products when it comes to skincare and love sharing products that have worked for me. These are some of my tried and repurchased items I find work very well for my skin type!
I got into European pharmacy beauty the year I ran out of moisturizer in Paris and just bought whatever the pharmacist handed me. Most of it cost less than what I was already using at home and worked better, so I kept hunting things down after I got back. A few of these are annoying to find in the US and I say which ones in the notes.
These are products I use for either casual events or going out!
Some are affordable and some are high quality products!
I do mix cream, powder, and shimmery makeup tg because I have combination skin and these products work for me.
I'm an avid press on nail girl! Truly I love having the ability to switch up my nails whenever I feel like it, without breaking the bank. Over the years I have built up my nail care kit. I've tried dozens of press on nails, and have developed a list of the ones that work the best! Here's a list of my favorite press ons, and all your nail care needs.
I was first introduced to Beauty Pie about two years ago. I love Beauty Pie! I never like paying full price for anything so this was a great fit for my lifestyle not to mention the quality of their makeup, skin care, hair, care, and perfume is top shelf. These are all the things that I purchased over and over again and will continue to. A majority of beauty pies make up and skin care are also clean beauty products.
Your skin drinks it up, then somehow feels like you taped cling wrap to your face. If you've been chasing that plump, dewy look but keep ending up tacky and pilling under makeup, this is months of trial and error distilled into what actually works. For anyone with dehydrated skin who's sick of sticky serums that ball up under sunscreen.
From cult classics to underrated gems, this list features beauty products I genuinely use and love. Whether you're after dewy skin, a flawless base, or just looking to refresh your shelf, these recommendations are tried, tested, and worth the hype. Each pick has earned its place.
You have an interview next week and every nude polish in your drawer makes you feel like a beige wall. Too dark screams ‘I’m not taking this seriously,' too bright screams louder. If you're stuck between corporate-safe and personality-dead, I spent way too long swatching polishes at the counter so you can skip that whole phase.
These are products I love and stand by! Pretty much my full face of makeup and everyday options. Products I will always go back to because of how perfect they are. I love trying different brands, colors, finishes, aesthetics, pretty much everything, so there’s a little of everything on this list!
As a teacher, I have no time nor patience to retouch my lippies during the day. These are my lifesavers. If you have light to medium neutral skintone, you would love these (mostly) mauve pink picks!
I always use to hate my sensitive skin. I thought I would never be able to wear scented things or smell like a chocolate bar. But the older I get the more I can experiment with different products and see what makes my skin react.
As an eczema girly I have to be very careful about what I put on my skin. These recs are for anyone who wants to glow and smell great! But it is also made with consideration for my queens (and kings) with sensitive skin! If you have my recs of your own please feel free to comment them or dm me!!!
My friends know me as the person who goes through lippies so fast. I literally reapply it 10+ times a day, therefore I try out a lot of new ones, and I think I'm very trustworthy for rating lip products. Here are my favourite lip glosses⬇️
My forehead had these stubborn sun spots from years of skipping sunscreen in my twenties. I burned through probably 15 different serums that did absolutely nothing before landing on products that made a visible difference. If you've been staring at dark patches in the mirror wondering if anything actually works, this lineup is what finally moved the needle for me. Took me three years of trial and error so you can skip straight to what delivers.
my go-to makeup routine that makes my makeup last all day! for a glowy finish, opt out the use of “baking” with setting powders. I am still exploring what mascaras and eyeliners I like and are worth trying! when I find them, I will list them here!
