Makeup has become a hobby of mine, and I love trying new makeup products.. this a list of beauty products I would personally recommend to others who are getting into makeup/are curious about products they haven’t tried yet.

As a person that tests a lot of makeup (high-end and inexpensive) these are the products that are currently on my everyday makeup routine (in order-top to bottom)

Full beat not your thing? Me neither. These are things I use daily for an easy, quick no makeup-makeup look.

Tip: wear a liner under gloss and it stays put for hours. This Ulta lip edit covers glossy lip oils from e.l.f. and NYX Fat Oil, plumping glosses from Buxom, Tarte and Maybelline Lifter, plus Pillow Talk Lip Cheat and Revolution tinted balms to toss in any bag.

Most days I have 5ish minutes to throw on some makeup and get out the door. These are the products that have streamlined my makeup routine and ensured that I look put together as quickly as possible. My best friend is a makeup guru so most of these items have come recommended to me by her. I tell her that I'd like good quality and logevity in my makeup and she gives me suggestions. She's never steered me wrong!

these are a collection of scents that I LOVE and will continue to purchase. if you’re a fragrance girly, this is for you. 💌

Nobody shops for the single parent, so this list is for you and anyone shopping for you. Some of these are gifts I use myself: rest and recharge picks, books, planners, and the tools that run my business. The rest are Black-owned finds I discovered through the Shop The Hood gift guide and can't wait to gift. Shopping for yourself counts too. Save this for the holidays and tell me in the comments what's on your list. Full transparency: Some links here are affiliate links, so I may earn a small commission at no extra cost to you. I only share what I've used or trust.

This is the perfect guide to help you shop for a teenage girl for any price range! These are everything i use daily or are on my wish list for everyday use! I have super dry and sensitive skin but refuse to spend a lot of $$ on all of the trending products.

Coming from a girl with oily skin and oily hair! I used to be a bleach blonde but have been growing out my natural dark hair for the past year- my skin has always been something I have been self-conscious about because of the size of my pores but I love love love the routines I have developed and hope they work for you!

Did you know you can smell nice to work without choking your colleagues or getting a complaint email from HR. These perfumes are clean, fresh, sweet but not soapy clean. They’re not loud but people will still get a whiff of you when you pass them by

I don’t use clean beauty 100% of the time but I try to use it for my daily products, and these are my favs.

I have waist-length hair that knots itself just from sitting on the couch. After years of snapping brushes and crying in the shower, I finally nailed down a routine that keeps my hair smooth without chopping it all off. Grab these before your next wash day turns into a two-hour wrestling match.

Sunday nights used to hit different — not in a good way. Dread creeping in, skin looking tired, hair feeling like straw, and zero motivation to face Monday.
