My phone case has a card slot, my keys clip to my jeans, and I walk out the door with nothing but pockets. But ditching the purse meant I lost access to my entire beauty emergency kit. Dry lips at dinner, shiny forehead by 2pm, mascara smudges after a windy walk. I spent months rebuilding a tiny routine around products small enough to pocket or skip entirely because they last all day. If you're a minimalist, a concert-goer, a dog walker, or just someone who hates carrying stuff, this is the lineup that keeps you polished without a bag.
Personally, I love looking my best in everyway I can. What girl doesn’t? Through extensive research (shopping) I’ve found products both me and my bank account adore. Things I look for in products are:
-Long lasting
-Natural beauty enhancement
-Skin friendly (for my teenage acne)
If you relate, have a look at these! <3
the products on this list are the ones i use anytime i do my make-up which is quite literally almost everyday lol! some are on the pricier side in my opinion but are totally worth it :)
Skin/hair/nail care, makeup, fashion/nail inspo (by me😉), jewelry and more !! I’m a maximalist girl, LOVE designs and colors and creating new styles 🤩🤭
Skincare doesn't have to be a 12-step project. This is the short version: cleansers and masks (a few made for acne-prone skin), toners, hydrating serums, moisturizers, and sunscreens that don't leave a white cast. Everything's sorted by step, so grab what fits your skin and skip the rest.
Packing for a month in a single backpack meant every ounce counted — and I threw out more beauty products than I kept after learning the hard way what melts, leaks, or just stops working after two weeks in a hostel. If you're planning a long trip and refuse to show up looking like a raccoon who hasn't slept since 2019, this is the lineup that actually held up across four countries and questionable shower situations.
Living in the Midwest, my skin has to adapt to all four seasons.. sometimes all in the same day. These are some of the items I have found that work for my combination skin to keep me moisturized when I need it, but not overly saturated when the humidity gets out of control.
People often ask me for my skincare routine so here it is! I keep it simple, but powerful. Here are 15 products in my rotation, including retinols and K-beauty recommendations.
Yuka approved, every sunscreen on this list is free of toxins. Staying safe from the sun + protecting sea life is important. Kokua is my absolute favorite because it's extremely clean for the sea and skin (and really cute in the beach bag)! I typically go for the tinted version since zinc goes on white. You can't go wrong with this list though. Everything here is just as clean and works really well. Stay safe from the rays besties.
I’m a mom of two boys under 6, which is another way of saying I don’t have time for ineffective or expensive products. I’ve spent years curating a collection of products that actually work for me (and my budget).
From make-up to facial cleansers to hair products, these are my go-to’s. ✌🏼
Sephora Sale (10/31-11/10) is here!!! Here are some of my personal favourites I definitely recommend.Use code “EVERYTHING” online or your phone number in person to earn discounts! Beauty Insider member perks: ROUGE = 20% off / VIB = 15% off / Insider = 10% off / Sephora Collection = 30% off
Fragrances are insanely popular lately & for good reason. I have been building my collection and decided to try a few dupes and get some samples of them. Having the real thing is cool, but so is saving money 😂 I’ve purchased quite a few and saved myself a lot of money. There are a few brands that do dupes so so well & you’ll see them a lot on the list.
I also love the option of purchasing something that is cheaper and it working just as well. I will say, sometimes dupes don’t have the same longevity but then you know if you like the fragrance enough to invest in one with more longevity. Anyway, enjoy the list!
Peeling, breaking, bending nails that never grew past my fingertips — that was me for years. Spent way too much on salon fixes that lasted a week before another nail snapped off in the shower. This list is for anyone whose nails crack just from opening a soda can and who's tired of hiding their hands. Took me over a year of testing to land on what actually works, so you can skip the trial-and-error phase entirely.
The ultimate lineup of makeup must-haves! From flawless foundations to the prettiest blushes and glosses, these are the products I reach for over and over again. If you love that ‘your skin but better’ kind of vibe with a touch of glam, this list is your new obsession!!
This is my personal list of must-haves for girls with curly hair! My favourite leave-ins, brushes, shampoos, oils and everything else I can think of, this list is full of my recommendations to keep your hair looking defined and healthy.
My favorite blushes, but I'm biased towards liquids/creams bc of how easy they are to use. BRANDS THAT ARE MORE INCLUSIVE TOWARDS DARKER SKIN TONES: Haus Labs, Juvia's Place, Fenty Beauty, Pat McGrath Labs, Danessa Myricks Beauty, Rare Beauty, NYX sometimes, E.L.F. sometimes (comment other brands pls b/c I'm pale AF, but I want to make sure I try and recommend brands that work for everyone)
Prices are CAD. Fifteen well-reviewed nail picks — polishes, gel kits and press-ons, treatments, and tools — curated from four different stores so you can build a full at-home manicure routine without the salon bill.
you could not pay me to be a full faced glam girl every day or a 10 step skincare routine type of person - so here's what i love and use (check for updates as my routines change!)
For daughters and sons who want to spoil Mom properly this Christmas without overspending, every pick here sits in the under-$25 range and mixes pampering with heart. Inside are a spa gift basket, a scented candle, rich hand cream, cosy socks, a sentimental photo frame and keepsake touches she'll treasure. Each gift was chosen to feel thoughtful and personal — the kind of present that says thank you for everything.
All my Sephora obsessions in one place. The perfumes that get me stopped and asked what I'm wearing, the makeup on my face in every photo, and the skincare and hair care behind my glow. If you love soft glam with a luxe, that-girl feel, these are worth a spot on your vanity.
Products that make my skin even and luminous! I've gotten a lot of compliments over the years about how clear my skin is and some friends have asked for recs, so here is my full list of products that I've used over the years.
My favorite beauty recommendations from skincare and makeup, to haircare and even nail polish products. Everything you would need to experience a glow up! 🫶
I’ll be honest—self-care didn’t come naturally for me. For a long time, I thought it was optional… something I’d get to “if I had time OR the money.” But I’ve learned (sometimes the hard way) that taking care of myself isn’t a luxury—it’s essential to not just living, but thriving. This list is full of little things that help me feel better, brighter, and more like myself AND they don't break the bank!!!. From cozy comforts to energy boosters, these self-care must-haves remind me that I deserve to feel good—and so do you. 💛✨ #SelfCareEssentials #YouDeserveTheBest #FeelGoodFavorites #ThrivingNotSurviving #SelfLoveInAction
All the skincare I've used, loved, and am obsessed with. A lot of these are perfect for people with sensitive skin as well. I am very conscious of what products I put on my skin and always try to find brands with good, clean, and non irritating ingredients.
Running out for coffee, a surprise FaceTime, a neighbor knocking when you look half-alive. You don't need a full face. You need five products max that make you look like a functioning human in under two minutes. This is the exact lineup I grab on my way out, and it took way too many “why do I look dead” selfies to figure out.
I don’t wear a lot of makeup, but I do wear it every day. As a working mom in my 40’s, I get it done but it’s super quick! These easy products help me feel my best (and budget-friendly).
Here are great of options for all different types of leave in conditioners. There are options for spray leave ins, lightweight creams, and thicker creams. You will definitely find a great option for your specific curly hair type in this list!😊

Curious about what I actually use on my skin morning and night? This list includes my go-to skincare products for both AM and PM routines—everything from gentle cleansers and hydrating serums to SPF and overnight treatments. Each product has earned its place through real results, not hype.
Whether you're building your routine or just want a peek into mine, here’s exactly what I use—and why I love it.
A slow, soft start to the day built around warm drinks, light layers, simple skincare, and small comforts that make mornings feel calm, warm, and intentional. This list is for anyone who loves easing into the day with quiet moments, soft textures, and little rituals that make mornings feel better.
Protecting your skin daily is a non-negotiable, and finding sunscreens that work for both your face and body makes it that much easier. Everyday SPF rounds up my favorite formulas that offer reliable protection without feeling heavy or greasy. These picks are great for layering under makeup, tossing in your beach bag, or keeping in your car for on-the-go touch-ups—because full-body sun care should fit seamlessly into your routine.

Whether you wear these out like a Baccarat babe at Best Buy or, like me, while lounging in the most exclusive spot in town (my home), these scents remind you exactly who you are: pretty, peaceful, wealthy, and unbothered. Warning: May attract compliments. Spray accordingly. 💋
As an acne-prone girlie, I’m always looking for beauty products that will give me the coverage I want without breaking me out. The following products are my tried and true selections. Some I have relied on for over a decade without issue! If you, like me, use face medication and have combination skin, then I highly recommend all of these products!
My skin is super oily, sometimes acne prone, and semi sensitive. I never know what is going to work and whats gonna make me red or react weird. If your like me definitely give these products a try!
My bathroom was giving beige hospital vibes for years. Every bottle was white, gray, or clear, and walking in there felt like entering a waiting room. I started swapping in products with bold, fun packaging and honestly the mood shift was immediate. If your bathroom counter looks like a stock photo and you want it to actually spark some joy when you stumble in at 6 AM, start here.
Grooming and self-care picks for everybody, all from Ulta. Skincare bestsellers, hair tools, beard stuff and colognes, plus gift sets that make holiday and birthday shopping easy.

As someone with very dry and mildly acne prone skin, it can often be hard to find products that are not only nourishing and hydrating but prevent clogging pores and initiating breakouts. I'm always so easily influenced and eager to try new products when it comes to skincare and love sharing products that have worked for me. These are some of my tried and repurchased items I find work very well for my skin type!
This is a list of my current favorite makeup products! These are all sure to last in the Florida heat and humidity! These products are also affordable for all for the most part.☺️

Hair care is all about maintaining the health, strength, and appearance of your hair through a consistent routine that suits your specific hair type and needs.
Body Care is one of the highest form of self-care. I know different Girlys have different signature scents, mine is warm vanilla/shea butter😌🧴🫧

Redness, stinging or reactive skin? These are fragrance-free, barrier-friendly basics from pharmacy brands dermatologists love - easy to find at dm, Rossmann or any Apotheke. Some links are affiliate links (no extra cost to you).
I live by and swear by these makeup products! They are my absolute holy grail products. I have combo but more dry skin and these work SO well. I have been doing my makeup for a really long time. I have done freelance makeup for 7 years and wouldn't recommend anything that I don't absolutely love with all my heart.
