Lightweight, hydrating, and perfect for daily use. My skin drinks this up.
BYOMA Moisturizing Gel Cream with Niacinamide
This is my go to face wash. It’s perfect for sensitive skin. It doesn’t strip your face of natural oils and it doesn’t have a bunch of unnecessary filler ingredients.
Vanicream Gentle Facial Cleanser Pump 8oz
This is SO effective for body acne.
PanOxyl Acne Foaming Wash Benzoyl Peroxide 10%
These are AMAZING for exfoliating. Perfect for getting dead skin off and a game changer for self tan prep.
SubSahara African Net Sponge - 2 Pieces
Love this for dark spots!
Niacinamide 10% + Zinc 1% | 23% Off in Slowvember
I use this in rotation as an exfoliator. This is also really great to use as a prep for self tanning.
Glycolic Acid 7% Exfoliating Toner | 23% Off in Slowvember
This stuff works without the yucky ingredients in traditional lash serums. You don’t have to worry about dark eyes here. This is a peptide serum, so it’s gentle. But I truly see a difference in lash length and lash retention with this.
Multi-Peptide Lash & Brow Serum | 23% Off in Slowvember
I’ve tried SO many self tanners as a pale skinned girlie and none of them besides this one looked right. This one provides a beautiful color, not orange, and doesn’t streak. It also fades nicely. SO much better than all the expensive self tanning pr...

LOVE this! Especially paired with the tartlette XL mascara (didn’t link that bc it’s not budget friendly) but on its own it still slays.
L'Oreal Paris Telescopic Mascara 0.24 fl oz
Love ALL of these lip oils. They are hydrating, actually provide color, and aren’t sticky.
Glow Reviver Tinted Lip Oil

Love these for a little plumping action. The colors are also beautiful and provide a good payoff, but I also keep a clear on hand in case I want a plump without color.
Pout Clout Lip Plumping Gloss Pen
Okay so this one is a little more spensy but it is SO worth it. This lip gloss makes my lips so hydrated and provides a nice plump. I love how my lips look juicy with this on. Also the smell is super nice.
Topicals Slick Salve Mint Glossy Lip Balm
The ultimate OG HG drugstore bronzer.
Bronzer
Love love love love. This product is truly amazing. I’ve tried high end sticks and they don’t compare. The color and blendability is unmatched.
Halo Glow Liquid Contour Wand
Another win for Elf. These blush beauty wands come in gorgeous colors and the payoff is beautiful.
Halo Glow Liquid Blush Wand
So good 100/10
Halo Glow Liquid Highlighter Wand
Colourpop is my favorite for beautiful eyeshadows at a low cost. The color payoff is unmatched for the price.
Shop Eyeshadow Palettes | Bright, Bold Eye Makeup
I love Morphe brushes. They are so cute and so good at blending.
Morphe Rose Away 6-Piece Makeup Brush Set
Another really good Morphe brushe set

Real Techniques is another amazing budget brush brand. Their brushes are such good quality at an affordable price point.
