I have struggled to find a cleansing balm that actually gets rid of mascara on the first wash. This cleansing balm has answered all my prayers. I no longer wake up with mascara on my eyes for days, despite using make up remover AND scrubbing my face ...

I picked this up this summer and have been happy with how it makes my skin look and feel. It's an exfoliating treatment that gives a noticeably brighter, more even glow.

A retinoid serum that's formulated with soothing ingredients like honey to help keep skin comfortable. Retinoids can take some getting used to, so it's best to start slowly.

This is my go-to night cream right now. It's meant to help fade dark spots, and it feels nice and moisturizing. You just have to make sure to wear sunscreen the next day!

This is my third bra-free tank from Abercrombie, and it's just as good as the others. The scoop neck is a little more relaxed, and it's so comfortable.

I've worn this to so many things this summer, it's so flattering, the fabric is light and breathable, and I love that I don't need a bra with it.
Women's Linen-Blend A&F Dylan Bra-Free Mini Dress

This is my go-to basic tee. It's soft, it fits close without being tight, and it looks so much more put-together than a plain t-shirt.
