I’ll be honest—I’m a drugstore girl at heart. Most of my makeup and skincare collection comes from affordable brands because I like sticking to a budget and believe you can get great results without spending a ton.

Whether it’s the quality, the results, or how long they last, each of these items has proven to be an investment in my routine. If you’ve ever wondered which Sephora products are truly worth it—and not just influencer buzz—this is the list I wish I had when deciding where to spend a little extra.

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.

I've spent many years and too much money trying to figure out my hair. It's long, thick, coarse, gets frizzy easily, falls flat at the roots, and I color it regularly. When Charlie worked at L'Oréal, I got to try products from brands like Redken, Pureology, Kérastase, Elvive, and L'Oréal Paris either for free or at a deep discount. Some products worked okay for one thing while making another worse, and most just didn't live up to the hype or the price tag. Pureology ended up being my overall winner from all the L'Oréal brands I tested. I've only used one Pureology product that my hair didn't like, and most of them actually feel worth the money. My old hair stylist always pushed Pureology too, but I couldn't afford any of it back then. Now that I've found what works, every L'Oréal & Pureology product on this list is something I’ve continued to buy even after Charlie quit L'Oréal, paying full price. Everything here is something I've repurchased at least three times.

The Body Shop has been a favorite of mine since I was a teenager - cruelty free, natural ingredients and actively trying to improve their environmental impact as well as supporting ethical causes. I can’t not support that - in a world where companies often act unethical or use artificial ingredients just to save some bucks and make their profit margin bigger, I’d like to recommend something different. Conscious care for ourselves and the planet 🌎 So I curated this list to give you some of my all time favorites from an all time favorite brand.

Featuring eco friendly beauty, self-care and home products with recyclable packaging and safe ingredients. Some of these I own and love and some of these I'd love to try.
