items I'm listing my all-time favorites, trying to keep my most current at the top!
When I'm looking for new products, I try to buy as many samples and kits rather than full sizes if possible before committing to paying full price. If there's anything you see that you're like “hmmm…,” see if there's something like that or go get a s...
Don't forget to see if any of these are HSA/FSA eligible!

I don't wear makeup daily, however I do try a lot of different products due to that. These are some of my favorites I've stumbled on!
I got samples of three different foundations and this was my favorite one. It blends and sets beautifully, wears all day, gives great coverage. I got shade 1CR for my regular color, 1.5N with a tan.
Anastasia Beverly Hills Impeccable Blurring Second-Skin ...
I have an unhealthy addiction to these, love them. Truly one of the only things that keeps my lips hydrated
Lip Butter Balm Treatment for Hydration + Nourishing Shine
Bought this in 2020, still use it. Love it, don't care what people say about curling your lashes! I think the buffer helps with pulling out your lashes, I legitimately don't have any issues with it
Kaasage Eyelash Curler with 5 Silicone Pads
My FAVORITE tubing mascara!! It comes off so easily when I'm washing my face, gives me insane volume, my lashes don't clump, I have zero complaints. I got the sample in a Dermstore kit and have been OBSESSED.
jane iredale Lash Fixation Length and Definition Tubing Mascara 8.2ml - Black
If they ever stop making this palette, I will cry. It's my go-to girlie
tarte tartelette™ in bloom Amazonian clay eyeshadow palette
I use this in shade “creme brulee” for brightening. Love the coverage, doesn't crease for me
Radiant Creamy Concealer - NARS
I use this in shade “happy” as a cream base for some of my blushes. It blends really well and a little goes a very long way!
Rare Beauty by Selena Gomez Mini Soft Pinch Liquid Blush
I have this in the shade “she's giving” and tbh it's the CUTEST pop of pink in the spring/summer or on vacation. I can't wear it in the winter, it washes me out when I'm not tan :') But I love her!!
Double-Take Crème & Powder Blush - PATRICK TA
I use this to set my concealer around my face, I'll link the other one I use for under my eyes
Mini Translucent Loose Setting Powder - Laura Mercier
I like to set my eyes with this one, it just makes them look more awake and color corrects better. Sometimes I'll use it over all of my concealer, it just depends on the mood I'm in
Secret Brightening Powder for Under Eyes - Laura Mercier
She is worth the HYPE! I have no comments, it's perfect
Huda Beauty #FAUXFILTER Under Eye Color Corrector
To me, this is worth it if you're going to be out all day or going to an event with a lot of makeup on. I really love it, it holds well and doesn't feel tacky.
On 'Til Dawn Mattifying Waterproof Setting Spray
I've been wearing this for YEARS on top of my SPF for some extra coverage without the thickness of foundation. Love, love, love
IT Cosmetics Mini CC+ Cream Full Coverage Color ...
One of my friends let me use it and I immediately purchased. It doesn't clump my lashes together and gives me great volume after I curl my lashes
Gucci Le Magnétisme Volumizing Mascara
A makeup artist used this on me for a wedding and I bought it as soon as I got home. I absolutely love this
Givenchy Prisme Libre Loose Powder Blush 12H Radiance
I used this for about a year or two, and actually really liked it. If you're looking for a clean brand, this is it! I liked the volume and length it gave my lashes, it didn't flake off during the day either.
Limitless Lash Lengthening Mascara - ILIA | Sephora
I used to use this daily! It's lightweight and buildable, also a clean brand at Sephora. I really liked the coverage and how it felt like I was just wearing my skincare when I wore it.
Kosas Revealer Skin-Improving Foundation SPF 25
Scents
I really like vanilla, amber and florals, so if you like those scents you're in the right place!
This is my signature scent in fall/winter, I get soooo many compliments. It's one of my favorites, will forever be a staple. Scent lingers long enough for me, and it's not too strong
Burberry Goddess Eau de Parfum with Vanilla & Lavender
One of my absolute favorite scents in spring and summer!
Gucci Flora Gorgeous Orchid Eau de Parfum with Vanilla
This is one of my favorites that I like to wear whenever, it's warm and a little sweet.
Prada Paradoxe Eau de Parfum with White Musk & Amber
Hair Care and Tools
To be completely honest, my shampoo/conditioner changes without much thought and I use stuff from the drugstore. HOWEVER, when I am putting thought into it, these are the products I run to and recommend to my friends and strangers. My aunt owns a sal...
I also cannotttttt stress enough how important it is to detox your scalp! It doesn't have to be what I use, but it makes a tremendous difference in your hair health. I do my scalp detox and deep condition on the same day since it's opposite ends.
I bought mine back in like… 2017 or 2018? It still works like the first day I got it and it's now 2026. Best investment college me made in beauty/hair products. My hair always feels soooooo soft and it takes a fraction of the time to straighten compa...
1-1/4" Nano Titanium Ionic Straightening Iron - BaBylissPRO | Ulta Beauty
I got a sample of this and purchased it after. I absolutely love the way it smells, it goes on velvety and your hair feels the same once it's dried. It's pricey, but it's sooooo worth it.
Hair Alchemy Strengthening Mask - Oribe | Sephora
You either love or hate these products, and this is my favorite hair mask. I've tried a few others and I always come back to this one. I have relatively thick, long hair and it helps bring it back to life every month.
Amika Soulfood Nourishing Hair Mask
When people ask me about what I use for my hair, I always tell them that I started with this kit. I've kept these in my rotation ever since
amika Signature Saviors Essentials Hair Trial Set
I loveeee the way this makes my hair smell! I use this before I dry my hair without any other heat protection prior to styling. My hair has had no issues with heat that I can tell by not using additional protection
amika The Wizard Detangling Hair Primer
Hands down my favorite detox shampoo. I wish I had the words to describe how amazing your head feels after using this. I got the mini size to try and it lasted me a while, recommend doing that before buying the full size to see if you like it
Detox Shampoo - OUAI | Sephora
I used this for about a year and honestly don't know why I haven't in a while. I really liked this, my hair always felt so soft and looked so shiny when I used it. The smell is also 10/10. Can confirm the same for conditioner
Signature Shampoo - dae | Sephora
Same notes as the shampoo, I really liked this brand
Signature Conditioner - dae | Sephora
