My favorite curling iron for my moderately long/thick hair! I got the 1 1/4” and it’s always my go-to. Heats up quickly and doesn’t pull out my hair!

A game changer for cutting down on getting-ready time + has saved my hair health by minimizing heat damage! Takes me less than 10 minutes before bed and I haven’t found it to be uncomfy to sleep in at all.

super lightweight and makes my skin so glowy! This is basically the only non-drugstore beauty product I own and I actually think it’s worth the price.

I put this on every night and it’s AMAZING. Makes my lips feel super moisturized and it seriously smells so good. This small container lasts me 4-5 months!

Best face wash I’ve tried for oily/moderately acne-prone skin. I always use a moisturizer afterwards but this stuff is my holy grail for clear skin
Benzoyl Peroxide Body Wash

Tried TONS of mascaras and this is the best by far. Keeps my lashes curled and doesn’t clump! I love a solid drugstore choice as a SAHM on a budget so this is my go-to!!
Maybelline Lash Sensational Washable Mascara

Absolutely worth the price! Super soft, not at all grainy, and this neutral color is perfect for layering with other lip products. I’m the type to put on gloss all day long but this lasts forever so I don’t have to apply as frequently
Lip Butter Balm Vanilla
