We all know skincare is important, but its hard to take pride in your skin when you cant afford to. These are some products i LOVE and can afford while being a non working mom to 2 kids!
i like something easy and fast sometimes and this routine has made me feel so so so soft and smell delicious. sometimes i look forward to my shower routine mostly for the after care. mmm maybe i might even create a list for my shower routine as well. i tend to add and mix up my body care routine so i will probably add more products as i go on with life lol
I used to work with fragrance ALL the time, so I am a little particular. However, I am also not one to drop $100 on a perfume unless it's literally perfection. I split this list into two sections so you know what’s budget friendly and what’s going to cost a little more🫶
We are leaving the nail salon visits in 2024! This list includes my go-to gel kit, acrylic nails, polishes, and all the must-have tools for a flawless, long-lasting mani. Whether you're into gel, acrylics, or a classic polish moment, these essentials will keep your nails looking fresh and fabulous from home. No salon appointment needed! 💖💎 #NailGoals
I’m always looking for clean ingredients that aren’t harsh or full of chemicals. As a mom, I need them to be safe enough I can use it on myself as well as my children.
I grew up not caring much about skincare. I never used special creams and most of the time would fall asleep with my makeup on. Now that I’m in my 40s I have started to see the skin damage of years of neglecting my skin. I’ve been using these products approximately 3 months and actually see improvement! I am very consistent with using them daily and recommend them for those who have damaged skin.
here are some of my favs that have helped my skin from the outside and inside & products that I simply cannot live without as someone who has struggled with their skin. everything is acne safe :)
Some of my absolute favorite skincare and make up that I've tested out ( only you know your skin , so what I do recommend is based off of how my skin received it, but I do mainly stick to things with less chemicals and mainly organic for the most part).
Cause ain't nobody got time to be spending hours doing makeup. This is my quick go to stuff that is great for beginners and people who like a no makeup makeup look
my favorite tested, tried, and true products. am i a beauty expert? NOPE. am i heavily influenced by tiktok girlies? YEP. but along the way, i've found some real faves – most of these items are ones i've repurchased, so i truly recommend them.
I am a medium to high-end cosmetics babe, but lets be honest, makeup and skincare are expensive, let alone building your Artistry or Influencer kit. So, here are my recommendations from a Professional Makeup Artist point of view who has tried and tested plenty of cosmetics of various skin types and skin tones.
Your skin is your biggest organ, take care of ALL of it! With 5+ years of experience in the beauty sector, I like to think I know a thing or two. Here’s all my body care faves!
Because our 20s are long gone, but our glow doesn’t have to be! These picks are perfect for busy millennials who want hydrated, radiant skin without breaking the bank (or spending hours on a 10-step routine). I have personally used these for years and I must say my skin looks great :)
I have always been an avid makeup user! I have sensory issues and am typically so picky about how things feel along with how things look due to my overly critical eye. These recommendations are products I have used and believe to be my tried and true. They check all the boxes for me whether that be for my sensitive skin, chapped lips, or overly watery eyes these products have made makeup and skincare the most exciting part of my day and hopefully yours soon too!
This is everything I've used and loved for those long, everything showers! I'm a sucker for good (non-chemical) smells so this list includes a lot of yummy scents!
These are my everyday perfumes. Some I’ve bought over and over again and some are new recent finds. I LOVE gourmands, floral, fruity and fresh scents so not too picky when it comes to my perfume🤭
Makeup that never fails and I’ve used for years! I would buy these again and again and again! As someone who is also acne prone all of this makeup has been safe for my skin. I hope you like it and find something new to try☺️
I have recently gotten into doing my own nails 💅🏻 & have discovered that press on nails have stepped up their game! There are SO MANY different ones to choose from and I’m sharing some of my favorites 💕
If you’re in your glow-up era and love the clean girl aesthetic, this list is for you. These are my go-to products for dewy skin, minimal makeup, sleek hair, and cozy daily routines that make you feel put together — even if you’re just working from the couch. I included affordable favorites and aesthetic finds that help me feel more confident and refreshed every day. Think glowy skincare, no-makeup makeup, claw clips, iced coffee cups, and everything you need to romanticize your daily routine.
I have clinical 2B hair, it’s very healthy, virgin hair and these are all the products that I found work best for my hair type. There are products on this list not directly for my hair type but still work wonders on it. So be scared to try some and if you have questions definitely leave a comment!<3
There’s 58billion different hair products on the market & it can be veeeerrryyyy overwhelming. Here are a few of my favorite & must have products that are both in my own vanity & also what I use at the salon as a hairstylist of almost 4 years 🤩
The nail salon does not fit in my budget! Started doing my nails at home. I like to do gel and press ons. These are products and tools I'm using and loving
These products are what I’ve been using as I start my journey in to the world of makeup! Yes, many of them are rare beauty, but they work! I don’t do my makeup often, but when I do, THIS is what I use!
All the makeup tried and tested by me - the pickiest girl ever. I hate heavy products or anything that I can really feel on my skin. If it’s made it to this list, it must be really good
As a stylist of 15+ years iv always been loyal to Salon Products because yes they are amazing BUT.. that doesn’t mean there aren’t any drugstore products that are just as great 💗
Iv put together a list of affordable products that will have your hair feeling healthy, happy & like you have been getting it done at the salon ☺️
I’ve had a skin care journey and extremely dry skin. Here are the products I’ve actually noticed help keep my skin hydrated and with consistent use, nice and healthy!
These products prove you don’t have to spend a ton to get amazing results. They look and feel like fancy makeup but without the scary price. I use these all the time because they work—simple as that. If you want quality and performance without the sticker shock, this list is your new best friend.

I know that good makeup is often EXPENSIVE, but there are amazing products that you can find that work just the same for a cheaper prices. This list is to help guide you!
Here’s my favorite skin care products! My skincare needs have really changed over the last five years! I’ve tried a lot, these items were tried and bought multiple times.
One thing I believe in is the art of making a good impression by smelling your absolute best. I find joy in walking through perfume aisles and sampling the best ones to find the right fragrance that makes me feel bold, confident, and exquisite. An advantage I have derived from having a huge family is getting to try and rate all sorts of perfumes that embody their unique personalities; thus, this list was not just inspired by my insane love for fragrances but also by the ethereal scents that flood my house almost every day. I hope you love it as much as I loved making it.
✨ Best skincare for normal to oily skin ✨
I’ve tried so many products and finally found what really works! If your skin gets shiny sometimes but still needs hydration, this list is for you. These are my top picks to keep your skin balanced, glowing, and healthy without feeling heavy
All that have shown noticeable difference in a few days or overnight in some cases. Some are just my all time go to products that I won’t ever drop. I’ll tell ya why and describe my observations as best possible on the notes to each product. I will give you my honest review.
✨ My Go-To Skin & Makeup Favorites ✨
Everything I actually use and love for glowy, everyday skin and effortless makeup looks. From my holy grail skincare staples to must-have beauty products that make getting ready easy and fun — all linked right here 💅💖
I know I’m not the only one that feels like I could use a glow up during the Winter. Something about the dry air and lack of time in the sun just does something to me. Here’s a list of my favorites for glowing up in a pinch without breaking the bank and specifically for the Winter season!
I have extremely sensitive and acne prone skin. My skin finally made a positive turn about a year ago and these are the products that have helped me the most.
I’ve been into makeup since I was 12 years old. I’ve watched countless YouTubers and influencers, but I felt like everything they loved, I hated. Before I ever purchase anything over $20 or so, I watch countless review videos. I found these products & loved them. The hair care on here is perfect for extension girlys, too. I’ll never take mine out 🤪
I get so frustrated seeing advertisements for skincare when the person promoting it clearly has Botox and Filler. Don’t get me wrong- I used to get my dose of tox, but over the past year, I had to make some budget cuts. These products have been so reliable in keeping my skin looking healthy and natural. Hope you love them as much as I do 🫶
This list has all the products that I use and recommend! Everything if not all items/products listed have had a positive impact to my hair, body, skin! ✨
These are all of the skin products that I have tried and LOVE. Most of these products are great for sensitive skin, as I have eczema skin, and need products that aren't harsh.
My Favorite prodycts that have me feeling my best for skin, hair and body. I don't like to look overdone but not a naturalist either so I look for products I feel like are going to help me look closest to what I want my best self to look like on a regular basis. I try different products until I find something that I feel like gives me something I was looking for then I keep it in my routine. Anything I recommend is something I use regularly. I have plenty more that I have used and just moved on from.
Products I use for my face. My routine is very boring and simple and I always prefer to stick to a few products and use them on repeat. I have a combo skin type. And if this matters, these products work well on south-east asian skin.
My current hair and body care routine focused on soft, healthy hair and smooth, hydrated skin. These are products I personally use and love as part of my slow self-care nights and weekly reset routine. 💐
(Also things from my wishlist!)
It makes everyday routines feel a little more intentional & calm 🌙✨
If I can have salon quality nails at the fraction of the price, sign me up! 😍 I have been on the hunt for great press ons and nail prep to help the longevity process, these are my best recommendations! 🫶🏽
I've been personally relying on Korean skincare for a few years and I think it surpasses all the other types on the market, i have asphysicating/bumpy skin and the products I'm using are finally working! But I'll tell you some also based on the type of skin that you have recommended by some of my friends
(don't overdo it, you don't need too many products for perfect skin but just a few good ones suited to you)
as a girl that prefers natural makeup with a flawless base, i have spent YEARS curating the perfect makeup routine. these products create a look that is natural and dolly, and i can swear by them because they are truly my dailies! all of these products are affordable yet amazing quality, and my number of repurchases show that!
