a tale as old as time; a girl & her every day makeup routine 💄✨ i have been through the ringer in this makeup game since i was 11 and wore bright purple lipstick all the time (yikes!) my routine has seen many items and cycled through them just as quick! once you learn your dos & donts, you’ll have it all together. now let’s see my recs & figure it out!

I have been off the pill for almost 7 months now, and have tried EVERYTHING to get my skin clear again! I started seeing a wholistic esthetician and she has literally saved my life. These are the most helpful items in my tool belt for getting my skin back to normal.

You just survived reformer class and your friend texts ‘meet us in 20.’ No time for a full reset, no desire to show up looking like you lost a fight with a rowing machine. This is the exact lineup I keep in my gym bag so I can walk into any restaurant without that post-workout panic. Took me a full year of sweaty trial and error to lock this down.

Spent years wanting a wild hair color and finally went for it — then watched it wash down the drain in two weeks. If you just dropped serious money on a vivid dye job and you're panicking every time you shampoo, this is the lineup that took me from faded-in-a-week to still-getting-compliments-a-month-later.

As a natural hair content creator, I’ve tried a ton of products, styles, and routines. These are some videos of my natural hair journey and some of the products that have helped me along the way. For reference, I have 3c/4a curls, low porosity hair, medium strand thickness, and medium density.

I have acne prone skin and I also like a quicker make up routine! so this is what I do everyday that takes me 15 minutes tops!

As I approached my 40s my skin really changed and I spent years fine tuning a routine that worked for me. My skin was so insanely dry but also really sensitive, so I've found a balance of products that make my skin feel plump and hydrated without being so harsh or thick that it sets my skin off. These are my tried and true solutions!

This is how I deal with my dry menopausal skin

I am barely starting my makeup journey and here are some products that I use everyday and love as someone who doesn’t know much about it

oily skin can be the bane of your beauty routine but it doesn't have to be. here are some of the staples in my makeup bag that keep me looking matte and non-greasy (as possible)! i will try to have these in a range of prices, but i tend to buy drugstore products for the most part so it'll reflect that.

You finally have nowhere to be. No alarms, no plans, just the couch, your person, and a whole day stretching out ahead of you. But somehow your skin feels rough, the apartment smells like last night's takeout, and you both look like you survived something. These are the products that turned our shapeless Sundays into the kind of slow, cozy day that actually recharges you for Monday.

My scalp was so itchy I'd scratch it raw in the shower, then deal with flakes on every dark shirt I owned. Dermatologist shampoos helped a little, but the real difference came from how I actually scrubbed. Took me a full year of trial and error to land on this lineup, so save yourself the wasted money and red, irritated scalp.

I have a deep love for this Polish beauty brand. Including body, face and hair care, I find it's all consistently high quality, while being super affordable. Anything from the goats milk range is an instant win for me, don't be put off by the name, it doesn't smell like goats cheese or anything like that. The whole range has super light weigh products, great for sensitive skin and the smell is so so nice.

This is my day to day makeup! I use mostly drugstore products because not everyone has the money to spend on those more expensive brands. So I feel my list is mostly affordable and definitely doable!

You slept in 45-minute intervals, there's spit-up on your shoulder, and someone needs you to look like a functioning adult in ten minutes. Whether it's a pediatrician appointment or a video call you forgot about, this is the lineup that got me from zombie to ‘oh you look great’ without a single tutorial. Took me a full year of postpartum trial and error so you can skip straight to what works.

Not MLBB but will help to get there! Contains lip care products and recommended lip stains/creams/tints.
