Maybe my real love language is gift-giving, because I pulled these straight from the things I actually own, use, and love — the top 10 gifts I’d want myself if I didn’t already have them. I went through all my prettiest, most-reached-for favorites to put together this year’s list: cozy essentials, elevated beauty, travel upgrades, and those little luxuries that make everyday life feel nicer. Whether you’re shopping for your sister, your partner, your bestie, or a little self-gifting moment, these are the gifts I’d confidently give again and again. 💗✨
Hi girly! Are you are tired of trying to figure out everyday makeup products that will actually work? Fear no more, for I have compiled a list of affordable products that I swear by and use on a daily basis (I'm wearing it rn tbh). Let me know if they work out for you and share you're own recommendations for others and I to try out!
Good skin health is very important to me. We all age, but we can do it gracefully with a good skin care routine. I’m always getting compliments on my skin texture and no one believes me when I tell them my age 😉 these are a few of my must have recommendations. For reference, my skin type is normal.
I am always on the hunt for the products that are going to give me the most beautiful glow while still attaining the “clean girl” look.✨ I want high maintenance products for a low maintenance look 🤍💄
These are my go to products if I need my makeup to stay on for 10+ hours. From weddings to work events. I’m never worried about how my makeup looks and it never transfers. A natural soft glam that stays glowy without being oily or flaky.
These are my tried-and-true drugstore beauty must-haves — affordable favorites that deliver serious results. From skincare staples to makeup gems, everything on this list has earned a permanent spot in my routine.
These are great products for a better, healthier skin like mine, took my skin from 0 to 100🥹.
Never thought my skin would look this smooth after a long time of having a lot of acne and spot on my face. Thanks to this products my skin looks healthier and better.
Love love these items and will keep repurchasing.
As a late-30s mom and former TV anchor, I’ve tested a lot—drugstore to high-end, quick fixes to long-game staples. These are the standouts I keep reaching for. They work, they last, and they make getting ready feel just a little more put together (even on the chaos days). If it made this list, it’s because I’d actually buy it again.
As a curly girl I love trying out new hair products that enhance my curls! Hair care is also super important when you have curly hair, so that your curls can live their best lives without breakage! I have tried SO many products over the years, and this list contains only my favorites🤍 Let me know if you like this list!🫶🏼
I have struggled for 6 years now with fungal acne and I have tried so so many products, ate better, and everything in between. I've tried all the trending or normal Fungal acne/acne safe products and these are the products that have actually helped a ton or just haven't broke me out. With that being said I am very cautious with what I put on my skin and the last thing i want when i try new products is for it to make my skin worse! So with that being said this is what has worked for me i hope that this can help someone who was struggling as bad as me :) - I have a pretty normal skin type it can be a little on the dryer side in the winter but I'm just super super acne prone and get bumps on my forehead that never go away with normal acne "saving" products. Side note: less is more when youre trying to figure out what skin issues you have and what works for you be careful with what youre already using and putting on your face. Stick to the basics until you have a good foundation… Face wash, moisterizer, a helpful mask to get rid of acne and irration 1-3 times a week. Make sure you wash your pillows and Ive noticed i have to be careful with getting hair products on my face too so note some of those things.
i love make up, experimenting with it and feeling beautiful! some days i do full face, others i go out with just blush and white eyeliner dots around my eyes - these are the products i use when it gets cold and i turn pale.
sweaty T-zone, glasses that leave little marks around my nose and sometimes dry skin. a triple whammy, meaning i know what works! c:
My signature scent collection, i’m known for these scents and always get so many compliments on my collection, the overall collection is sexy, mysterious, sweet and spicy
aka the list I’d cry if I opened Christmas morning. this is a carefully curated mix of things I actually want + things I’ve been influenced into needing. it’s giving cozy, main character, lowkey practical but still fun. if you’re shopping for yourself, your bestie, or need inspo to drop “subtle” hints… this list is for you 🤍
Im always behind with the hair trends, but im trying my best! Here are things I've loved for someone who has no talent for hair but wants to feel confidet
I have kept my skin youthful and healthy overtime by avoiding direct exposure to the sun, wearing sunscreen, cleansing, exfoliating regularly, moisturising with oils, and being careful about the products I use. Here I share products I use or have used from a trusted store, which I equally recommend.
Looking for a flawless base? This is the place! A list of all my make up reccomendations. Foundation, concealer, powder, bronzer, and blsuh. This list is a range from affordable drug store to more expensive. These are all my favorite brands, and I hope you love them too.
If you're in your 30s with acne-prone, sensitive skin, texture, or scarring—this list is for you. These are my ride-or-die makeup products that actually work with my skin, not against it. Everything here blends beautifully, and helps smooth or blur texture without making breakouts worse. I’ve tried everything, and these are the ones I keep rebuying. Whether you’re dealing with post-acne marks, active breakouts, or just want that healthy, real-skin finish—this list has you covered. Think lightweight coverage, forgiving formulas, and real results.
Hey friends ! I’ve put together this list of everyday products I carry with me from beauty products for touch ups or hygiene products to stay fresh ! These are my most used and beloved everyday essentials ! ☺️💕
I’m a real girl. A mom of one who wants to look good but not try too hard or spend an arm and a leg.
Some things out there are so OVERHYPED and expensive (hello Laniege lip mask). I have a tried these products time and time again and they always achieve the look I want.
It’s one of the biggest hurdles to tackle - the thought of losing our hair. 🩷 It’s absolutely more than fair to feel this way. Our hair is such a part of who we are and how we present ourselves - our sense of style, our personality. This list includes things that made this chapter of the story a little easier for me, and I hope they will help you, too. 💞 The page will turn sooner than you think it will! Try to find the silver lining and maybe even a little joy in each stage of your hair as it comes back, too! 💖
Smell good, look good, feel good basically says it all✨🎀 I have experimented a lot with different products to get the best for my own body.

You don’t need to break the bank to feel confident. As someone who has been watching YouTube since the very beginning, I feel like I have found the perfect products without having to spend 100’s at Sephora.
These are my evening favorites, especially tailored to my naturally oily skin and hair, while living in a dry climate. Because I deal with insomnia, this list includes products that help me sleep better at night as well!
These are my tried-and-true beauty finds from Walmart—nothing crazy expensive, nothing overhyped—just solid products I actually use and love. I’ve gone through the aisles (and way too many impulse purchases) to figure out what’s worth it. From skincare that saves my face in winter to makeup that holds up on mom-days (aka sweat, snacks, and no time for touch-ups), it’s all here.
This list is for the woman who’s been holding it down — now it’s her turn to rest, reset, and pour back into herself. From skincare that loves melanin to tools that support mental, emotional, and spiritual healing, these Amazon self-care picks are curated with Black women over 40 in mind. Because soft doesn’t mean weak — it means wise, well, and worthy.
When K-beauty skincare products started showing up in my feed, I was intrigued and a little confused. New terms, new products, a focus on ingredients and benefits. I spent hours researching and breaking down viral K-beauty skincare products, so you don’t have to. TikTok-famous Korean skincare products, soothing toners, and glow-boosting serums. This list makes it easy to upgrade your routine with products that have gone viral for a reason. They are also reasonably priced! I’ve included notes for who they are good for and tips for when to use them. AND as a reminder, always patch test new products! Affiliate links

Hey Girlfriend. Im speaking to all the women worldwide. Have you ever seen someones make-up done and they look incredible, especially if you know them?

The make-up I recommend will be a couple of different foundations, Primers, concealers, eye-shadows, lip sticks that are my go to.

Here is a step by step process with products that I use to achieve a "clean girl" makeup look!!! There is noooo need to break the bank to look FLAWLESS!
If your scent 'palette' preference is 1) Seductive/Sultry and/or 2)Crisp/Understated then these scents are likely ones you'd enjoy as those are my two preferences for night/day respectively.
Think misty mauves, dusty roses, soft taupes, and muted blues!!! All budget-friendly and easy to wear every day. These shades enhance your undertones without overpowering them!
Listen I’m not great at makeup or hair so if I’m recommending something it’s because it’s simple, easy and does the job I need it to do with very little fuss!
It's the end of August, and if you are like me I LOVE Pumpkin and cinnamon fall scents. This list compiles new fall scents for this year for your body routine.
It took me a second to lock a skincare routine that made sense, with some help of social media and wise guidance from my award winning dermatologist, I'm happy to share the things that make sense for me. My skin is mixed/dry - and my biggest challenge is to keep hydrated during winter. I hope you like it.
Hi! I'm Bri and I have maybe the most sensitive skin the world (it feels like)! I have MCAS and an anaphylactic allergy to polyethylene glycol (PEG), which is in most skincare. My skin reacts to patch tests of things that I'm not even allergic to all the time. Everything on this list are things that I have no reaction to and my family has benefitted from using (I don't like to waste my money either)! 🩷✌️
As a mummy self care is sooo important!! Whenever I do my full routine, I always feel so much better! My cup is full and I smell amazing. This is everything, skincare, Haircare and body care for the best self care routine of your life!
