What’s on my Christmas list as a 30 something Mum with 2 girls and a fur baby? Things I wouldn’t buy for myself or just things I would love to receive as a gift 🎅🏻🎁
This is a very detailed list and organized as such. I have loved makeup since I was a child and really took it on as I got older. I started watching the OG beauty Youtubers way back in the day and learned how to do my own makeup over time. Eventually I got a job at Sephora and also started freelancing. However, my love for makeup I realized was just for fun and not for a career. So I just have fun with it now and love to share favorites with friends 🥰 I wanted to curate a list that was easy to find exactly what you’re looking for. I hope you enjoy!
These are the makeup products I personally use and truly believe in. Some fall into the luxury or high-end category, but every item on this list has earned its spot. I’ve chosen them for their quality, performance, and how they make me feel: confident, polished, and glowing. Whether you’re treating yourself or building your kit, these are the products I keep coming back to.
I’ve spent a lot of time trying to find a set of skincare that works for my skin and doesn’t cause my to break out!

These are the lip products I highly recommend with honesty and quality! These lip products are so good and have such a good glossy or stain look to them! The texture is everything the lip balms help with dry chapped lips and the stain nourishes the lips!

I obsessed with sunscreen. After trying all kinds of sunscreens—from affordable drugstore picks to high-end favorites—I’ve found a few that truly work for my combination skin (which can be breakout-prone at times). I prefer lightweight, water-based formulas that don’t feel greasy or clog pores, but still give strong SPF 50++ protection.

I am OBSESSED with fragrance and can remember every compliment I've ever gotten for smelling good. My Scent Profile: I love scents that get me compliments; maybe that's basic, so sue me. While I wear for my own nose, I am a slut for a “mmmm you smell good” during a hug. What can I say. I love to try viral or popular fragrances because I am fascinated by things that are universally loved (whether I like them or not). I love a vanilla base, but I go for wearable, smoky or peppery vanillas and am otherwise not very gourmand. I LOVE A DUPE. I think we all know that quality products can be made for affordable prices and there can be many great takes on a DNA that are under $100. notes and accords that I gravitate toward:Vanilla BasesSmoky/Peppery/spicyWoody/santal/cactusMilky white floralsPowdery/whipped/marshmallowSweet like candy (not like baked goods)Pear/Fig/coconut/sometimes cherryClean/skin scentsPistachio/nuttyWhat I gravitate away from:Gourmand - cookie/cake/bakery like smellsBright/pink floralsStrong citrusBright fruits - mango/passion fruit/bananaWeird (gasoline, pizza, etc.)
