The INKEY List UK Salicylic Acid Cleanser & Face Wash 150ml

The INKEY List UK Collagen Serum 30ml

Volumising Tripeptide Lip Plumper | The INKEY List UK
As an oily skin girl, I have to be careful with moisturisers. They either break me out or make my makeup slide off. This one makes my skin plump and firm. It’s not overly glowy or thick and it has a slightly strange smell. However, the formula really...
The INKEY List UK Peptide Moisturiser 50ml
A great exfoliant for those who get clogged pores, oily skin or closed comedones. This helps me keep my skin in check, especially if I’ve become burned out and not looked after my skin as well as I should. It keeps my skin fresh and glowy by exfoliat...

My go to hairbrush! I have curly hair and this brush is an all rounder. De-tangling, smoothing, slick backs, up-dos, brushing out curls, styling… wet or dry! The one brush I will reach for always, as a person with a lot of brushes, none compare to th...
Denman Brush
This pomade I saw originally used by Sophia and Cinzia. It’s the Ouai hair pomade. I’ll use it to keep back my layers/baby hairs (or snapped bits…). It’s a great alternative to gels as it can be easily brushed out. You can slick back your hair withou...

Another hack I use for water intake is hydration tablets. It makes such a difference to my ADHD and energy levels to be hydrated but I find it so hard to remember to drink water in the day.
I’ll keep these on my makeup desk and add it to the bedtim...
SiS Hydration Tablets
ADHD lifehack no.477382812847… these are a godsend. Not only do they have a sound function to help locate them, you can navigate using your iPhone down to the exact location. “Getting closer”, “getting further away”. They also chime period and as the...

Stouchi Passport Holder Travel Wallet

I had the original Stanley but suffered so many wet beds, w...
Stanley IceFlow Flip Straw Stainless Steel Leak-Proof Tumbler, 887ml
The find my iPhone feature makes it worth it alone… being able to sound my watch at the touch of a button is the best! In the fridge, in the car, left it in the house? My watch is a lifesaver!
