Smell Good Lotions and Perfumes
Skincare
Best daytime skin moisturizer - doesn’t cause breakouts, lightweight, but provides good daytime moisture and layers well for makeup
Embryolisse
Best retinol alternative. Makes your skin look so smooth and glass like without irritation if you’re sensitive to retinol. Great for anti aging
Best clay face mask when you feel like your skin is clogged. Great for oily or combination skin and very cleansing.
Instant Detox Mask | CAUDALIE®
I have very dark under eye circles and I swear by using this gel as a pick me up for my eyes. Put it in the fridge for an even stronger boost to make the eye bags a little less noticeable
Good Molecules Yerba Mate Wake Up Eye Gel
My favorite vitamin c serum. I always find that vitamin c serums pill under my makeup but this one doesn’t and it works wonders for my skin. I’ve tried a ton of vitamin c serums but this is a top 3 and maybe the number 1 spot for a while.
RevitaLift 12% Vitamin C + E + Salicylic Serum
This is one of my favorite retinal’s on the market. Peach and Lily has one that’s incredible but the price is high, so when budgets are tight I reach for this. I also like to alternate my prescription tretinoin with this when my skin isn’t loving the...
K-SECRET SEOUL 1988 Retinal Serum 30ml
I love this face wash for daily use. It’s very gentle and does a good job of removing all the dirt, sunscreen, and makeup from your face.
Hydrating Cream-to-Foam Cleanser
My FAVORITE sunscreen ever. It applies well, and it’s a great tinted option for work from home days or for the pool or beach in the summer where you want to be protected but also want to look somewhat put together without heavy makeup. This is a must...
Sunforgettable® Total Protection® Face Shield Flex SPF 50
As someone with fine lines in their forehead I’ve been looking for a serum to help plump my skin back up. This has not only done that but really hydrated my skin - a must have for the winter!
Good Molecules Hyaluronic Acid Face Serum - 1 fl oz
Makeup
Great lip balm, works well to hydrate and has a metal tip that is soothing to the lips! And it has a nice minty flavor/smell. Keeps my lips moisturized
The Lip Balm | Multi-Ceramide – Nécessaire, A Personal Care Company
Long lasting makeup setting spray. As someone who lives in a humid environment, this is great for making your makeup last in the hotter months
Make It Last Original - Natural Finish Setting Spray
This is my go to skin tint, base for my foundation, whatever you want to use it for. I always get complimented on how glowing my skin is when I use it, and it can be layered for my coverage as needed. Otherwise it’s super light weight for day to day ...
Halo Glow Liquid Filter Complexion Booster
I’ve tried so many designer mascaras and none of them match how amazing this mascara is. Lasts all day, doesn’t flake, makes my lashes long but not clumpy. Easy to layer
L'Oreal Paris Telescopic Lengthening Mascara
My go to concealer for years. I have super dark under eyes and I love how much this brightens them. I also think it lasts a long time
Under Eye Concealer Makeup
Mac’s velvet teddy is one of the only lipsticks I think looks good with my skin tone - I have fair skin and dyed red hair. It’s really hard to find something that’s not too overpowering on my face and this is so natural looking when I do my makeup
M·A·Cximal Silky Matte Lipstick | Including Velvet Teddy, Taupe, Mehr & ...
Even better than the original telescopic mascara! I just added this to my routine and my eyelashes look incredible and long. Highly recommend
Extensionist Mascara, Lengthening, Curling, Blackest Black Washable
Smell Good Lotions and Perfumes
I love to smell good and I cannot recommend this vanilla like of body wash and lotions enough. It smells amazing and it’s great on your skin.
Vanilla Cashmere Body Wash
Perfect for dry skin and a post shave moisturizer. I recommend putting on when you’re still damp from the shower before your lotion.
Vanilla Cashmere Body Oil
This smells amazing, keeps your skin moisturized, and isn’t too sticky when you put it on. As a last step in your skin care before your perfume I recommend this lotion.
Vanilla Cashmere Whipped Oil Butter
I have never gotten as many compliments as I do when I wear this spray, especially in my hair. It’s long lasting and it just smells so good. 10/10 recommend.
Being Frenshe Women's Hair, Body & Linen Mist Body Spray with Essential Oils
This is one of my favorite vanilla perfumes. It smells incredible and gets better over time.
