But of course, there are also super affordable makeup items that have proven to do the work.
My hair was constantly breaking off due to heat and coloring and I revamped my haircare routine four years ago. These are the products and tools that I have settled and have on constant rotation currently.
For reference, my hair is 2c naturally and I shampoo once a week and blow my hair out after my routine. I went from black box dye to now almost all dark blonde using foils courtesy of my wonderful hairdresser. I am naturally a dark auburn color.
A word about the cover photo: My before photo is from October 2022 and the after was November 2025.
Routine:

✨Olaplex 3 on towel dried hair
✨Deep conditioning mask for 20-40 mins
✨Hair in a towel for 1 hour
✨Then rough blow dry
✨Then blow dry brush

Mid 30’s, work from home, single mom here! I don’t wear much makeup anymore and really don’t want to spend tons on it when I do. I’ve tried a countless amount of expensive foundations, concealers, primers, and have never been fully excited about any of them.. drugstore for the win here.

Oily-combination sensitive skin type; nonetheless. I endlessly recommend these products to my cousins and friends that each have different skin types (like sensitive, dry, oily, combination skin). My skin used to be excessively oily but ever since I started using toner and prioritized moisturizing deeply, I’ve managed to reduce excess sebum.

I don’t wear makeup every day, but when I do wear it, I am wearing these products! Sometimes I switch out the tinted moisturizer for the foundation depending on my mood (or how much time I have 🤣), but the other products stay the same. I was a biggggg full-glam makeup girlie from about 2015-2021, but I got tired of taking 45 minutes to get ready and it honestly wasn’t realistic anymore. Since becoming a mom, the goal has been to get my makeup done in 15 minutes or less! These are the products that help me achieve that.
Hair care should always be a crucial step when it comes to self care. My hair is a part of my identity and I always make sure to take care of it with the utmost care.

This is my real, no-BS nighttime routine as a woman over 40 dealing with melasma and combination skin. Every product I actually use, not just stuff I think looks cute. From double cleansing to retinoids, peptides, overnight treatments, and even what I sleep on. I rotate my actives on a weekly schedule because when you're managing melasma, irritation is the enemy; one wrong move and your hyperpigmentation fights back. If you're dealing with dark patches, uneven skin tone, and an oily-yet-dry situation, this list is for you.
I used to have something called a pizza face when I was a teenager. White and red spots everywhere. I was bullied and no one wanted to be around me because of it. Then my dad recommended two products that after a month of using them, my acne cleared up. Ever since then, 14 years later, I’ve paid attention to new skincare that would always come out. TikTok sold me on some flops, spending close to facial money just to keep my skin the way I wanted it. Clear and soft. I’ve found anti-aging, hydrating, and brightening products that saved my skin and ultimately keep up my confidence.
My everyday, no-thinking-required makeup staples. Perfect for school drop-off, errands, or hopping on Zoom when you have exactly five minutes and cold coffee waiting.
