Living with Vitiligo means being very careful with my skincare choices and reading my skin's needs through different seasons - be it stress, climate, or simply getting older. There are some amazing things my skin with no melanin can do - like heal really quickly with no scarring - and there are some things I need to pay special attention to - like sensitivity to the sun and long term damage. Over time, I have come to love certain products and keep them in regular rotation. Especially since turning 40, self care through skincare has been a primary goal for me, so here's a look at what works best and my highly recommended products.As an Amazon Associate I earn a small commission from qualifying purchases at no additional cost to you.

This is a list of hair products I’ve used or currently use that I love! It consists of shower products, styling products, and products to help with damage repair.

My Makeup Staples (Beginner-Friendly!) I was never very good at makeup, but these products completely changed my routine. I used Estée Lauder Double Wear for years—amazing coverage and longevity, but you have to work fast and it often looked cakey on me. The Haus Labs foundation has been a game changer: lightweight, long-lasting, and genuinely beginner-friendly. The Haus Labs concealer is also the only one that doesn’t dry out my under-eyes and barely creases. I also realized that application makes all the difference. These are the only two brushes I use now (plus a sponge and powder puff), and they keep everything smooth and natural.

Small gifts, big smiles! These stocking stuffer ideas under $25 are the little things everyone actually wants — beauty minis, cozy treats, and fun surprises that fit perfectly in a stocking.

My typical everyday (mostly) drugstore makeup routine. I work from home but still typically try and do my makeup every day even when I’m not on camera and these are and these are my tried and true favorites for an easy, simple routine

All my tried perfumes, body creams and shower products🌺

this is my wash day routine when i actually HAVE the energy to wash, and throw my hair into its usual protective style. i generally have low porosity hair but because of color and heat damage, there is a mixture of med/high porosity strands. so i’m working with what i got! i hope these help you as much as they’ve helped me ✨

These are all the items I use to keep my skin hydrated and radiant.

I have sensitive skin, curly hair, and a face that tends to overheat! this is what I use that allows me to go on with my day without anything bothering me

Everything that is in my makeup bag currently as someone who just turned 40. I’ve shifted from powders to more of a tint with skin drying out more easily these days.

If I was deserted on an island and could only take these products, I’d be a happy girl. My over 40 skin drinks them up and in result it stays calm and happy.

for my every day look, I prefer simple and clean! with a sheer tinted spf, bronzer & blush to bring my face back to life:) quick and easy look that maybe takes 10 minutes! Perfect for those time crunch mornings

These are my go-to beauty staples. I use these everyday for a simple make-up look. If I had to buy all new make-up, these would be it. It's also a great no make-up, make-up look.

I have dry skin. I also have sensory issues that make applying anything TOO much makes me squirm. Here is what I have found to help with my dry skin that DOES NOT bother me!!!

Recently purged my makeup only to share the best with you. Lower end to higher end, and a lot in between. I value pigment, wear power, and versatality.

From drugstore to a little more expensive… I always try to keep it minimal and good for you. Here are my everyday uses & tips for all things skin care & makeup✨

I have used sooo many foundations on so many different skin types ! I’m going to list high end and drugstore

If you've ever been that person holding up the TSA line while digging through a ziplock bag of leaky foundations and loose lipsticks, this one's for you. I fly about once a month for work, and I got so tired of checking bags just because my makeup situation was a disaster. Took me a solid year of trial and error, but every single product here is TSA-friendly, leak-proof, and compact enough to stay in one bag. Grab what you need before your next trip so you're not panic-buying overpriced minis at the terminal.

Sunday nights used to fill me with this low-grade dread — the kind where you're already exhausted before the week even starts. I built this routine over about a year of trial and error, burning through products that promised relaxation but delivered nothing. If you're someone who hits Monday morning already running on empty, steal this whole lineup and give yourself one evening that actually feels like a reset button. Took me way too long to figure this out so you don't have to.

in this list you'll find my favorite drugstore products that i've purchased over the years and enjoyed, in hopes that you will too! i'm here to prove to you that you don't always need high-end in order to have a flawless makeup routine.. you just need to know how to choose the right products 😉

After three rounds of bleach in six months, my hair literally snapped when I brushed it. Chunks in the shower drain, straw-like texture, zero shine — I was one bad day from shaving it all off. If you've over-processed your hair and nothing feels like it's working, this is the exact lineup that brought mine back from the dead. Took me a year of trial and error so you don't have to waste the money I did.

All make up I actually use, and most of it is on the cheaper side!

Every Friday I set aside time for a full self-care routine. This is my night to deeply cleanse, hydrate, and pamper my skin with treatments I don't use every day, leaving my skin refreshed for the weekend.
