As a woman in my 50s, I've tried a ton of makeup and beauty products. I've curated a list of my favorites that are a part of my daily makeup routine.

I found all spooky, creepy, gothic, halloweenie makeup items so you don't have to. For my spooky makeup girls 👻🦇✨

Sharing my go-to skincare lineup: effective, affordable, and tried-and-true!

hydrating, shiny, & just the right amount of ✨extra✨ — these are the ones that live in your purse, on your vanity, and somehow in your car too.

I have acne and it sucks. What has been so annoying has been trying to find makeup that covers it well. And now I’ve found it 😆 Then, I’ve seen people finding their fave lip combos. I haven’t been doing my lips for the longest time, but then this elf lip gloss changed the game!!!!

Your scent is your invisible business card. I’ve curated this selection of world-class fragrances that stand out for their personality and staying power. Whether you’re looking for a romantic floral, a sweet gourmand, or a bold signature scent, these are the aromas that turn heads and make every moment memorable.

These are the kind of random finds I didn’t know I needed but now genuinely use all the time. It’s a mix of wellness, beauty, comfort, and home upgrades that make everyday life feel easier, more elevated, and honestly just better. From at-home workouts and recovery must-haves to little self-care upgrades and practical kitchen favorites, everything in this list adds value in a simple, feel-good way.

I have been on a journey of finding the right skincare for my sensitive, dry skin, and I have been struggling with hormonal acne and the acne scars that it leaves behind. A lot of this stuff is Korean skincare because I feel like they make the best gentle products for sensitive skin.

My favourite makeup products to use for day to day basics or glam nights ✨

I’ve never been a full-glam makeup girl, but ever since doing cheer in high school, I had to learn how to do my own full face. And let’s just say there was a lot of trial and error along the way. I’ve tested tons of products, found some true loves, and definitely wasted money on a few misses too. I used to stick mostly to drugstore makeup, and now I’m slowly mixing in more high-end favorites here and there. So this list is a blend of both — affordable staples and a few splurges that are actually worth it. If you’re still figuring out your routine like me, or you’re already a makeup pro, I hope this list helps you find something you genuinely love. Every product here is something I personally use, repurchase, and swear by — no random recommendations, ever. Basically, these are my everyday, can’t-live-without, holy grail picks 🫶🏼

Welcome to my curated collection of beauty essentials that I absolutely adore! From skincare saviours to makeup must-haves, these products have become staples in my routine. Each item has been chosen for its effectiveness, quality and the joy it brings to my daily self-care rituals. Whether you're looking to refresh your skincare regimen or discover new beauty favourites, I hope this list inspires you as much as these products have inspired me.

As an avid self tanner these are my go to products that give the best deep but natural bronze, without streaks or that orange tone. These are easy to apply and long lasting!

Beauty essentials for the days when time is short but you still want to feel like yourself. These are the reliable, quick-payoff products I reach for to refresh, polish, and care for my skin—without turning my routine into another task on the list.

these are the products i’ve been using every day to get the best glowy makeup!

Want to know what’s in my bag? Whether im running errands on the daily or going out on date night. I always have one of these essentials in my bag. Here are the recommendations.

All of my recommended hair products as a hair stylist and curly girl who has tried almost every product on the market!

If you only open one of my lists, make it this one. It is the hundred finds I would actually text to a friend, pulled out of every other list I keep, and it is organized by the part of your life you are shopping for rather than by brand. Beauty Dupes and Skincare comes first because it is the section people ask me about most, and it is the budget end on purpose: CeraVe cream and cleanser, the e.l.f. Power Grip primer and Halo Glow filter, COSRX snail mucin, Mighty Patch, and the Laneige lip sleeping mask, nearly all of it under twenty dollars. Dog Mom Essentials is the section I stand behind hardest, with the Furbo camera, a snuffle mat and a lick mat for the dog who finishes dinner in nine seconds, the ChomChom roller that pulls hair off a couch better than a vacuum does, and the calming donut bed. Kitchen Must-Haves is the gadget tier that actually gets used instead of stored, from the Owala FreeSip and the Stanley Quencher to a Lodge cast iron skillet, the Fullstar chopper, OXO POP containers, and a one-second meat thermometer. Home and Decor Finds is the renter-friendly part: an arched full-length mirror, Govee strip lights, a three-inch memory foam topper, and the Beckham pillow set. Fashion and Accessories stays limited to pieces that go with everything, like linen wide-leg pants, CRZ Yoga leggings, Levi's 501 shorts, Crocs, and 14K gold chunky hoops. Travel Must-Haves is the packing-list version, built around AirTags, packing cubes, a 10,000mAh Anker bank, and the memory foam neck pillow. Mom Life and Toddler Picks is what survives a toddler, from the Inglesina table chair to the ezpz mat and the NoseFrida. And Tech, Gadgets and Wellness is the catch-all at the end, with AirPods Pro, a massage gun, a weighted blanket, smart plugs, and blue light glasses. Most of it lands between about ten and fifty dollars, with a handful of real splurges called out where they earn it. Made for anyone who wants the shortcut instead of the whole storefront: new moms, dog moms, first apartments, and anyone rebuilding a routine from scratch. Save it and come back to it, because this is the one list I keep current all year.

The products to give me the most perfect soft, shiny, and bouncy hair for my 2C curls

This routine might seems to be high maintenance but hear me out (or read me) - this will change your life completely. Your body will thank you and you deserve it. This routine can be a once a week or twice a week thing, whenever you have time but you won't regret it. It will make you feel better and look better. I've been doing this routine once a week religiously ever since I can remember myself become an adolescent so ever since I was 13-14 maybe…Oh Gosh, is been 19 years!!! 🤯😱

With so many make-up brands to choose from, I have found my favourites through other peoples recommendations! Here are some of my faves💄

I’ve tested countless skincare products, so you don’t have to. I’ve seen what works (and what doesn’t), both in my own routine and from friends and family. Here are some of my top picks across all price ranges, from affordable staples, to mid-range gems, and the occasional luxurious splurges, because great skin isn’t one-size-fits-all — You should be using a vitamin C serum every day to brighten complexion, boost collagen production, and reduces the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles. As a powerful antioxidant, vitamin C also helps protect the skin from oxidative damage from sun exposure and pollution. Regular use can lead to a more even skin tone, smoother texture, and more radiant glow!

From messy buns to glam moments ✨ These are the best hair products I’ve found for healthy, shiny hair that lasts through gym days, errands, and everything in between. Think nourishing oils, dry shampoos that actually work, and tools that save you time (and sanity).

Mascara is a game-changer for looking more awake and fresh-faced. Personally, I love the look of bold, big eyes with dark, fluttery lashes that still feel natural and effortless. The mascaras below are perfect for creating long, voluminous lashes without clumping or sticking together (plus, they’re affordable) ✨🖤 To take your lashes to the next level, I’ve also included a few must-have tools. Eyelash curler can make a huge difference in opening up your eyes and giving your lashes that extra lift. And if you’re looking to enhance your natural lashes over time, a good lash serum can work wonders for length and strength!
