These products have been in my DAILY WEAR rotation for months and even years. I have only recently been able to afford high-end makeup so these have been trial and error but I finally curated a list I would recommend to the cashier at my local supermarket. I love these products so so much!!
My simple everyday beauty products that make me feel like me! Isn't that the point, to feel and look like the best version of ourselves? These help me, maybe they could help you!
Here’s a list of all the skincare and makeup I’m loving right now. As an acne-prone skin girly and an Asian beauty fiend, this is what I’ve found to actually work for me!

With wedding season just around the corner, l know many of you lovely ladies are starting to think about what makeup look to go for and which products are actually worth purchasing. A few months ago, I was part of my best friend’s wedding entourage, and as someone with limited makeup experience, I found the process more stressful than expected. I spent a lot of time wandering through drugstore aisles, unsure of which brand or shade to choose.
After a lot of trial and error (and more money than I planned to spend), I finally discovered a handful of products that are easy to use, beginner-friendly, and reasonably priced. Whether you’re doing your own makeup or just want a polished, photo-ready look as a wedding guest, this list includes affordable, reliable products that work well for makeup beginners.

These are my favorite makeup products! I’ve tested lots of makeup but these are what I consider the best performing. My skin is dry to normal for reference. I use and repurchase all of these.
My go-to makeup products that I can't live without. Ranging from affordable to high-end. I started doing makeup around middle school and it took me a long time to figure out and find good makeup. New makeup products come out daily so I always find a new favorite. I have combination skin (oily T-zone and dry skin) so it's hard to find products suitable to my skin and that stick. These are some of my favorites that I always have in my restroom. Some of these makeup products are "dupes" for higher-end products and some are high-end products. I believe it's okay to have a good mix of both because having an affordable concealer and a high-end setting powder can lead to a perfect base, AND last you all day.

Perfume has always been my quiet obsession—the kind of love that lives in muscle memory and breath. I notice scent the way some people notice color or sound; it grounds me, excites me, and shapes how I move through the world. Smelling good isn’t about excess to me, it’s about intention—choosing notes that melt into my skin, evolve with my mood, and leave a trace of who I am long after I’ve passed. Every fragrance I recommend is one I’ve lived in, one that’s made me feel magnetic, comforted, or undeniably confident. These aren’t random picks; they’re scents with presence, depth, and personality—perfumes that linger, turn heads softly, and make people lean in closer. If you’ve ever wanted a fragrance that feels personal, expressive, and unforgettable, these are the ones worth bringing home.

From an acne prone girly. Skincare is not a one-size-fits-all kind of deal. I don’t use all of these products everyday. Some I don’t use currently, but like enough to recommend for you to try. I do skin cycle so I exfoliate, retinal, then two hydrating recovery days and spot treatment if needed.
