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.

I got tired of spending so much money at the nail salon, so I decided to learn how to do my own nails. This is a list of what you’ll need to do structured gel at home.
My skin type: Normal to Combination Skin
A consistent skin care routine is essential to keep your skin looking strong and healthy but, it’s totally normal to start with just a few skincare basics. Most people gradually build their collection over time as they learn what works for their skin.
You don’t need a perfect routine to begin. Start small, stay consistent, and build from there—that’s what I did.
Note: All the products listed are products I have used or currently am using. Remember to use products for your skin-type.
As someone who has 3C hair and (at first) didn't know what to do with it, I decided to make a list of a few tips/products. The list below includes the different products I've used and highly recommend! Most of these products are great starters if you're beginning your curly hair care journey.
This list has a variety of hair products such as shampoo/conditioner, leave-in treatment, and hair oil, etc. Most of the hair products from the list can be used by any textured or color hair.
I’ve been completely natural for over 10 years and now have past waist length hair and healthy curls. These are some of my favorite products to make wash day a breeze and have a full week of beautiful hair. There will also be some products that I use when I straighten my hair in the fall/winter. ✨👩🏾🦱✨
My go-to favorite skincare products!! I've always struggled with sensitivity and tend to get red easily with harsh products, and these are my tried-and-true favorites that leave my skin feeling very hydrated, soft, calm, and ones that I continuously repurchase and will do so again and again! Hope they can help you as well :) (the list includes adlinks where I do make a small commission)
My favorite products for a flawless foundation routine! These products allow for my base to be long lasting and provide great coverage. You'll always be photo-ready!
Each product does not need to be used every day! Depending on your work or lifestyle schedule, you actually do not need to wash your face twice a day! As a teacher who goes to the gym a couple times a week, I shower/wash face/do full routine at night but rinse with water each morning before I begin with the toner, serum, & sunscreen. I recently learned my skin is sensitive to being stripped of all the good I put into my skin barrier each day
