I have been on a long, hard journey with my hair. I went from being a natural very light brunette to bleaching my hair for two years. Then, I decided to switch things up, and dye my hair ALMOST black, but super dark brown with some blonde money pieces. After about 8 months of that, I dyed my hair red, then finally went back to blonde and bleaching it every 6 weeks. My hair has been through SO much, and I have been on the journey to find the perfect products to save my hair!

I’ve struggled with acne for over a decade so I’ve had a chance to try many different brands. Here’s a list I put together of my favorite products that worked the best for me. If you have any questions I’m more than happy to answer them!:)
I am by no means an expert when it comes to makeup, however I have already established the look I want to go for. Everyone is different when it comes to cosmetics, but every few people have similar tastes.
I’m always on the hunt for easy makeup and beauty products to add to my routine that. I like a simple makeup look and you’ll rarely catch me in a full glam look (no hate to it at all, I just don’t want to do it every day 😂) and these are the product that help me achieve my everyday look.
If I don’t do anything else I will ALWAYS put the makeup girlies on! Below I will be linking every makeup product used for this look. Tutorial is also on my IG @september.raynee!

Aging is beautiful — but a little extra glow never hurt anybody! Here’s your curated lineup of anti-aging essentials: from smoothing serums to firming creams to hydration heroes. You don’t need everything at once — just pick what fits your skin goals and budget. (PS: Most of these are beginner-friendly, non-intimidating, and actually worth the hype.) Overall Reminder: •Always wear sunscreen during the day if you’re using any anti-aging products (especially retinol/Vitamin C) •Be patient. Real anti-aging magic happens with consistency over time, not overnight.

I’ve graduated and received my aesthetician diploma 30 years ago. Since then I’ve tried many products both on myself and my clients. I’ve had my own beauty salon and worked for some big cosmetic companies including being a Beauty Advisor in a prestige department store. Most of the products in my list are the ones I keep coming back to and what I’ve seen actually make a difference. Some are new discoveries and ones I have genuinely loved for decades.

As a girl who has always enjoyed wearing minimal to no makeup, good quality but affordable products are always my go-to (with the occasional splurge!). Here is a list of my favorite products that always live in my makeup bag and shopping cart!
The BEST products to maintain nice curls, even though you've bleached your hair!!! Works for all hair types, does not have to be curly hair. They are placed in the same order that i use them in! Of course, if many of the products are the same, I don't use them all. Some are good “dupes” on the bit more expensive ones
These are the Amazon finds I reach for every day - products I've tested, loved, and continually repurchase. If it's on this list, it's something I truly use in real life.
i'm a huge fan of maybelline products as i have always incorporated them into my makeup routine in every era of my life ever since high school !! i'm super loyal to this brand and consistently buy their products

Achieve the perfect clean girl look with makeup made for dry skin! This guide features hydrating foundations, creamy blushes, and glowing highlighters that keep skin soft, fresh, and radiant.
Cruelty-free make up products and brands that I have personally used and enjoyed. I haven't included any foundation products in this list, mainly because I don't use it very often and the one I do use has been discontinued! But I do recommend checking out E.l.f. or Wet n Wild, as those are the brands I have tried for foundation and concealer. Many of these products and brands can be found at your local drugstore, but are also available online on the brand website or Amazon.
I have been wearing my hair in its naturally curly state my entire life. I have 4A/4B curls with fine strands, and I have been wanting to do something different that will retain the most length. I noticed that braids and other “protective styles” put a lot of stress on my fine strands and I get a lot of breakage, even with “low tension” styles. A lot of women with my same issues have started wearing their hair blown out or straight, and retained a lot of length by doing so. So I decided to try it out myself! I have personally bought and use all of the products I listed below, and I picked things that prioritize the strength, moisture, and integrity of my hair. I hope you can find something you like on this list!
These are my ride-or-die beauty products — the ones I reach for every single day. From skincare staples to makeup must-haves, each pick has earned a permanent spot in my routine because it actually delivers. No gimmicks, just my tried-and-true favorites I truly can’t live without.
My hair texture is closest to "2B" curls. I get nice beach babe waves when I use these products. I have found many great products over the years but these are my current favs.
I recently have a newfound love for perfumes and I'm so excited everytime I find a new good to add to my collection! So I have listed here some of the perfumes I have loved wearing through the years and I hope you like them too!!
