A little about me: I love wearing makeup, whether it’s full glam or soft (I try to do clean girl makeup but I love full coverage.)

I work somewhere where I do shipment mostly in a hot area, so I know what products work if you decide to wear makeup while breaking a sweat 😅

I have struggled with acne since I was in high school. Name a product and I bet I have tried it… sometimes I wish I would get all the money back wasted on trying to clear my skin. These are all products I have tried and or have on hand that have helped me on my journey!
I love makeup, but these are the products I always end up going back to. They’re reliable, easy, and just work for me every time. Pros: I save money, avoid over-consuming, and don’t fall into every new release hype. Cons: I often stay loyal to the same products, which can make me miss out on exploring new formulas, shades, and innovations in makeup. But at the same time, I just save money and get more use out of what I already have—so why buy something new if I already have something that works, right? 💄✨
Flare ups are no fun and it's important to put clean stuff on your skin to keep it under control. These are my most recommended items. Remember, face wash, active, then lotion. Actives 1x a day at first and then 2x if handled well. Hydration is key. Lotion when skin is wet is a good idea!
If I had to select products from Sephora that I would always have on hand, this would be the list that has never failed me. Every piece here has its place for a reason - from the liquid powder that evens out my complexion as if I've slept for 10 hours, to the shadow that says without words "I have everything under control". Some of these products are my old allies, the ones I discovered by accident, and have remained loyal to for years. There are other novelties that delighted me the first time I applied them - you know that feeling when you put something on and your mood immediately lifts? Exactly that. This list is not just a recommendation, but a mini beauty ritual that gives me that little luxury in everyday life. If you want a proven combination of quality and "this is just for me" feeling, you are in the right place. 💄

My skin is combination—dry in some areas, oily on the nose, with noticeable pores. After years of trial and error, I’ve finally found the perfect mix-and-match skincare routine for combination skin. I know my picks are a bit on the pricey side, and there are definitely more budget-friendly options, but I love to treat myself—and once I find products that work, I stick with them. These are the skincare gems that truly help balance combination skin, leaving it smooth, hydrated, and shine-free.

If your skin reacts to fragrance, breaks out from new makeup, or flares with eczema or perioral dermatitis, this is the exact makeup I personally use and trust.

This list is for you if: ✔ You have eczema, perioral dermatitis, or rosacea ✔ Your skin reacts to fragrance or harsh ingredients ✔ You want clean, non-toxic makeup that actually performs ✔ You prefer breathable, skin-friendly formulas
