My most used makeup as an acne and dry skin prone girly. I spent forever searching for makeup that favors my skin. I tried high end makeup but landed back to my affordable makeup!

These products actually make a difference, help manage frizz, boost definition, and protect your curls while you sleep ✨ Start your curly hair journey on the right foot!

I’m a girl in my early to mid 20s who isn’t huge on makeup but when I do use it, I love using clean beauty products and prep products WITHOUT breaking the bank.

From creamy vanilla and gooey caramel to toasted marshmallow, warm cookies, and rich chocolate, these are the dessert-inspired fragrances that truly smell good enough to eat!
Okay, so let's talk decent mascaras. Call me a crazy person but so far I have probably tried well over 100 mascaras. Still, I am always searching for new, better ones. They either clump, giving me the spider leg look, don't stay on and my curled lashes end up loosing the curl or just smudge after a while leaving a nasty looking under eye. So here is my honest opinion on some of the most hyped mascaras Tik Tok is raving about. Don't forget to curl and thank me later 🤩

Finish with your go-to styling products for smooth confidence every day. 🎀
