As a licensed esthetician, I am passionate about all things skincare. I’ve used countless products and still continue my research for the best products for all skin types. I am a combination skin type. I live in a dry area so hydration is always my goal. Just a few things to keep in mind while you peek at my recommendations.

Salon quotes kept hitting $200+ and I kept chickening out — so I spent six months figuring out how to lighten my dark blonde hair at home without ending up with straw. If you've been staring at box dye kits in the hair aisle feeling overwhelmed, this is the exact lineup that got me from mousy to sun-kissed while keeping my hair soft. Took me a lot of trial and error so you can skip straight to what works.

Curated by a mom of a 10-year-old and a 12-year-old, this list includes safe, sweet, and trendy preteen must-haves — that feel special without being too grown.

I get frequent compliments on how healthy my hair looks so I thought I would share what I use 🫶🏼 For reference, I have long, fine hair but I have quite a bit of it. It becomes oily quickly and is low-porosity. My hair is not currently bleached or colored and I am naturally a brunette.

I’ve been natural for 8 years. Through many trails and errors, I have learned how to love and nurture my hair. I have low porosity/type 4 hair. This list encompasses all of the products I have loved while perfecting my wash day routine. I hope you enjoy and find it helpful! Leave a comment to let me know that you think of the products :)

You don’t need expensive makeup for a gorgeous look 💕 These are my favorite affordable makeup finds that actually perform — from glowy base products & everyday eye essentials to lip combos, blush, bronzer and setting must-haves. ✨💄

Luxury skincare is often celebrated for its innovative ingredients and cutting-edge formulations — the kind of results that come with a price tag to match. It’s easy to assume that price is the proof. K-beauty has always been good at formulation science. It also happens to share many of the same hero ingredients, active concentrations, and fermentation technologies found in some of the world’s most iconic luxury products. Same science. Same results. A different price to get there.

My must haves no matter what other products I’m using I’m always grabbing for these because my over 40 skin loves them!!

My top recommendation of vegan and eco-friendly beauty finds such as haircare, skincare and make-up!

Healthy skin is essential, plus it’s an added bonus for your benefit when you apply your makeup. As an inflammatory autoimmune girly, It’s essential for me to use products that help my skin repair and recover. These are products that I have used and continue to use.

I am a huge fan of clean and low-tox beauty live in Stuttgart Germany but recommend mostly international products I am 37 years old and my main concerns are hormonal acne, pcos, clog prone skin, KP and acne marks as well as fine lines. I am half Filipina and half German. Products and Brands I enjoy and have tested on my skin, I can recommend these products because I use them daily and I have spent years curating this list. Mostly non-toxic or low-tox products by my standards. From skincare to make up (especially for my clog prone skin) and my favorite scents as well. Just my everyday staples I like to rotate and use, I would absolutely recommend these to my besties! All of them are tried and tested products.

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.

If you love makeup as much as I do, but are trying to find some new products, then I have the perfect recs for you! I have been doing my makeup since I was 11, just as a fun hobby and not for school, but once I got older I already knew what products worked and what didn’t so now I am here to help you!

Relax 🙂 A few of these products are just part of my daily self care face and body routine. I use all of these and there were some I wanted to add but I purchased them from small businesses that won’t let me tag them. I hope you enjoy!

I love everything Lavender reminds me of warm summer days. Lavender is such a relaxing and beautiful scent but also the most beautiful color as well. These are my lavender skincare and perfume recommendations 🫧🦄🪻💜⋆.˚🪻༘⋆

If people only smell your perfume for twenty minutes before it vanishes — or worse, it hits everyone in a ten-foot radius like a weapon — I spent two years and way too much money figuring out the sweet spot. This is the exact layering system that gets me quiet compliments eight hours later, not headaches. Built for anyone who wants to smell incredible without announcing themselves from across the room.

Products I recommend for the ladies out there! These products are items that contribute to your overall health and wellness to make you feel beautiful and gorgeous INSIDE & OUT! All of the products I recommend, I use myself, so I promise you - they're worth it! 🫶🩵💪🌻

My personal style is all about looking natural but elevated — not chasing every trend, but enhancing the beauty you already have. I believe makeup should feel effortless and look flattering in real life, whether you’re running errands, heading to work, or going on a night out. Below is a curated list of my favorite makeup items that help create that natural, “your best self” look — with links to purchase each one if you want to try them too. 💄✨

When it comes to my hair, “picky” is an understatement. I’ve always been very particular, which allowed me to maintain long, shiny, healthy hair (despite all the chemical processing I was doing to it). So when postpartum hair loss hit me like a freight train, I obsessed over stopping the hair loss and maintaining the health of the hair I had left. I tried a three-step Nioxin regimin (fail) and I was about to go all-in on minoxidil as a last resort, but I was terrified of the horror stories about people losing more hair after they stopped using it. A little more research led me to pumpkin seed and saw palmetto supplements. Now, I’m finally seeing some new growth and my hair is strong and healthy. I believe these products have everything to do with that!

Quality on a budget! Believe me, I have tried them all (or most 🙃).There are items that are worth the $ and then there are items that are available, inexpensive and great quality.

My every day beauty recs that I would buy again and again! I have sensitive combination skin and none of these items break me out!

these are some of my favorite products that make me smell so good 🧁 a lot of these scents are mainly vanilla based, but i did provide some that are not all vanilla as well ❤️

Products and places that I use to keep my skin and hair feeling its best. I’ve added where I go for waxing, lashes, brows, and hair in the Southern Maine area

if your palette is soft summer and you want to highlight your features, consider adding these lippies/liners to your makeup bag! 🥰 these are of course not only for soft summers, but as a soft summer myself these really compliment my features. i use most of these on a daily or weekly basis. if you’re unsure about these, look at swatches on tiktok from people with similar/same color palettes! some of the model swatch photos aren’t the most accurate due to photoshop. that’s how i found out about most of these and took the plunge to try them out and i’m SO glad i did!

Here I'll provide a list of affordable Body Fragrances that I've used and loved 😍. The list varies from my perfumes to body lotions. I promise you'll be happy with these suggestion.

I rely on these products to make me look alive on a daily basis as a mom of 2 toddler boys

for all the girls and the gays that love makeup but are balling on a budget 💸 i love all of these products and there’s a variety if you’ve tried some & they don’t work for you

Hey Girlfriend. Im speaking to all the women worldwide. Have you ever seen someones make-up done and they look incredible, especially if you know them? You start asking yourself, who did their make-up and how much it cost. Well girlfriend, I got the tea! 1st thing first - you need the make-up, the tools and a little YOUTUBE, then boom! The new you. The make-up I recommend will be a couple of different foundations, Primers, concealers, eye-shadows, lip sticks that are my go to. All of the make-up works with your features, not against them, lifting cheekbones, defining eyes, especially if you want the smokey ones with softening edges. the make-up gives you a natural glow that turns heads without trying. The finish? Seamless. The feel? Barely there. From sunrise heat to late-night chill, it stays put, no melting, no smudge, just pure confidence that moves with you. It creates beauty that breathes, shines, and never fades. Full transparency: I may earn a small commission if you purchase through some of these links - at no extra cost to you! It's how I keep creating helpful resources like this while supporting my own journey. Thank you for supporting small businesses like mine!

My, a 36-year-old with acne-prone combination skin, morning skincare routine that I swear by!!

Some of my favourite skincare products that work really well on my mostly normal, but slightly dry & sensitive skin!

All my current Sephora beauty obsessions in one place. If you're into soft glam, the clean girl look, and that luxury aesthetic, these beauty products are definitely worth adding to your vanity.

As a skincare enthusiast, here are my recs. All of these products have not only been researched, but actually used by me for long periods of time. Tried, trusted, and repurchased by me. To find your skin type: 1. wash your face and dry it with a clean towel 2. leave it with no products on for an hour 3. check back in and evaluate if its dry (dry skin), oily (oily skin), or dry in some areas and oily in others (combo skin). All links to target <3

Things I am excited for, during the annual Sephora Sale

This is what’s always in my makeup bag at all times!! It’s my everyday look that is perfect! If you are looking for a light bronze makeup look I would suggest checking out this list!✨💄💝

My skin’s dry-combo, and I’ve been on a journey to clear, acne-mark-free skin. Been using this one lately — hope it’s your match too! 🤍

All things for the girlies that are cool toned🤍. If you are a soft summer color season, or a cool toned, this is your one stop list. No more searching for shades in makeup. I got you covered!

Now that I'm 56, I'm noticing fine lines and things I didn't have even five years ago. I've been on a quest to find the absolute best beauty products you can buy that work with maturing skin. From makeup that doesn't settle into lines, to serums that actually help, to hair care products that don't dry your graying hair, I have a list of my favorites for you to try. Since every person is unique, you should try the ones that make sense for you. Much of finding the best products is trial and error. Not everything lives up to the hype.

If you want to gift some make up products or need some for yourself feel free to look at my favorite affordable make up products. I am a teenage girl who doesn’t really has a lot of money and because of this I want to share my favorite products that work the best for me with other people that need recommendations.

These are all real life items that I use in my beauty routine as a woman who’s about to turn 40 and is stressing out about it 🤣

The week the first cool morning hits is when every nail color I own suddenly feels wrong, so this list sorts the season's shades by mood: wine and burgundy, olive and sage, chocolate and mocha, plus chrome finishes that make a plain neutral look expensive. Each pick is a specific shade from a specific Ulta brand, and a few strengtheners and press-ons are mixed in so the color has healthy nails to sit on.

These are my skincare must-haves and daily makeup favorites--products I rely on every day to keep my complexion balanced and my look fresh. From hydrating moisturizers to long lasting setting spray, and eyeshadow primers, each one is a staple in my daily routine.

NOTE: My hair had a nanoplasty treatment since March 2025 .There are products here that are recommended for mantaining my nanoplasty and also products I recommend for when my hair is in it's curly natural state. Read through the notes for more info. I’ve tried so many products over the years for my big, thick and curly Tongan hair! These are the ones I keep coming back to. From everyday basics to treatments that actually make a difference, this list is full of the hair care staples that keep my routine simple but effective. Think of it as my personal lineup of go-tos — easy, reliable, and worth the hype. I’ll keep adding new finds as I test them out.

Makeup products that enhance your natural glow #natural #makeup #essentials

My fave beauty tools to enhance natural beauty and improve the health of my skin and hair 💗

Struggling with thinning edges, dry breaking hair and no length retention? These are some of the products I found work in my hair and hopefully works in yours too 💁🏾‍♀️ (disclaimer: there is no product that will work if you don’t invest consistent time and energy into your hair, you need a weekly routine🧏🏾‍♀️)

I am most proud of my makeup routine because I have nearly perfected it to be sweat proof, basically waterproof, dewy, sunkissed, non-comedogenic, and sooo natural. There are multiple options as I cant pick favorites and switch up a lot ;)

Absolute ESSENTIALS that have my natural hair flourishing. It's grown so much and so healthily since being consistent with a weekly regimen.

These are the make-up products I have purchased over and over again, they have never failed me. They range in price but are all amazing quality. I would recommend these products to you regardless of if you are someone who does their make-up every day or someone who has barely ever touched any make-up!

I’m picky about press-ons because I hate when they look obviously fake… and these passed the test. These SHEIN nails look professionally done without the salon price tag. If you want affordable, high-quality press-ons that still feel luxe, these are the good ones!

Welcome to my makeup collection! These are the products I swear by for creating my favorite looks ✨ From everyday natural glam to bold, dramatic statements, these are the essentials I use to feel confident and polished 💕 Whether it’s foundation, eyeshadow, or that perfect lipstick, these are my go-to beauty items! 💄

I have spent a lot of my time recently dedicated to figuring out the perfect fall makeup routine…and I think I finally cracked the code! I was never a huge makeup girly, but I wanted something that made me feel pretty while not being too much—and I may have just perfected that. Everything is in order of when I use it, to make the routine easier to replicate. Let me know if you have any questions or suggestions!

Every Friday I set aside time for a full self-care routine. This is my night to deeply cleanse, hydrate, and pamper my skin with treatments I don't use every day, leaving my skin refreshed for the weekend.

Sephora said turn up the heat! With Ulta launching new KBeauty brands into high gear, it seems like Sephora is not backing down without a fight. I spy brand new products and Korean brands that are gracing their online shelves! They have a brand that I have been swearing by and is lesser known by the masses. I MUST share them with you! This list will be fantastic for the sensitive skin people.

I very much take my skin scare seriously as a sensitive face girly who gets acne from stepping one foot outside 😭 so hopefully these recs reach out to people like me as well!

I have very long hair that I like to curl or wave. I like my hair to be voluminous and a little messy. I get a lot of compliments on my hair, and these are the products I use to achieve that!
