I'm no newbie to adult acne, irritated and inflamed skin, and stubborn hyperpigmentation. This is my list of skin care products that have truly elevated my skin care routine, and given me the most glowiest skin I've seen in my adult years.

A few beauty products I actually use and reach for. These are the makeup staples I like for an easy, polished look without making my routine complicated.

A good makeup collection needs to include affordable and splurge worthy products. I enjoyed doing no “make up” makeup as well as a full glam.

Skincare products that helped me a lot as an acne prone baddie 🫠⭐

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. These sunscreens not only sit well under makeup but also keep my skin feeling fresh and calm throughout the day. If you're looking for sunscreens that are gentle yet effective, this list is for you!

This is list of my makeup products I swear by and always reach for. From everyday essentials to glam must-haves, these are my tried-and-true favourites that never let me down. Whether you’re looking for a flawless base, the perfect eye look, or a lip product that completes everything, this list is full of recommendations that I genuinely love and use. 💄

I chopped my hair in August ‘23 and have been on a journey to regrow it in the healthiest way possible. Not only is it the thickest my hair has been, I’ve also seen thinning areas around my temple regrow. A few months ago someone said “well Megan has thick hair” like that was obvious, and I’m still riding that high 👏

Every October I stare at my mantel, surrounded by cute ceramic ghosts and pumpkins, and realize the vibe is only visual — the scent never matches. If you're someone who goes hard on fall decor but your house still smells like last night's dinner, this is the fragrance and beauty lineup that finally made my whole living room feel like the cozy autumn scene I was going for. Took me three falls to nail this down so you don't have to.

As a feminine girly girl one thing about me I love to smell good. These scents are ones that are not only head turners but will boost your confidence as well!

You want to look put together at the library without showing up like you spent an hour getting ready. Maybe you're studying, maybe you're pretending to study while people-watching. Either way, this is for the person who wants to roll in looking effortlessly good with minimal effort and zero foundation. Took me two semesters of trial and error to nail this down.

Mums deserve to feel confident even on the busiest days. This list pulls together quick, easy-to-use beauty essentials that fit seamlessly into a hectic schedule—think multitasking products, time-saving hacks, and little luxuries that make a big difference. Perfect for mums who want to look put-together without spending hours in front of the mirror.

If you're searching for the best skincare routine for your mid-40s, you're not alone! These are the products and self-care rituals that are helping me revive tired, dull skin and restore a healthy, natural glow.

Every December I do the same dance: panic-buying gifts the week before Christmas and swearing next year will be different. Spoiler — next year is never different. I'm a dentist, so my gift radar has one non-negotiable: nothing that quietly wrecks a smile (sticky caramel, I'm looking at you). This is the list I wish someone had handed me years ago — thoughtful, actually-gorgeous gifts for the women in my life: my girlfriend, my mum, my sister. All teeth-friendly, all shippable from Amazon in time for the tree. General guidance only, not a substitute for your own doctor or dentist — just one dentist's honest picks.

Quality skincare and cosmetics I swear by. I won’t recommend any skincare or cosmetic I haven’t personally tried and loved. I create UGC content in exchange for free products and have gotten to sample many a beauty or personal care item. If they don’t hold up to the hype, you won’t find them here. This list focuses on my favorite products for beauty and personal care, with sections dedicated to hair, nails, skin, and various cosmetics. I’ve only treated my wavy/curly hair as wavy/curly for the past 3 years, and the products I’ve listed for hair are the best I’ve found on this journey. I do my own nails at home. Going to the salon is too expensive on a regular basis, so I’ve been doing my own for over 20 years, adding gel to my repertoire in the last year.
