the go-to's in my cosmetics bag!
Benefit dupe!! But better, because it never smears
Lash 'N Roll® Curling & Lifting Mascara
I want something sheer and with SPF in the summer. This tinted sunscreen feels GREAT on my skin and is very hydrating (for reference I have dry skin)
Hydrating Mineral Sunscreen SPF 30 Face Sheer Tint, Shade: Light
My eye shadow brush from Real Cosmetics is my favorite makeup brush I've ever used. It's a staple, for sure!
Eye Makeup Brushes
I love this setting powder because it truly helps my makeup stay all day, gives a soft finished texture, and the packaging is also great - no more getting bits of powder all over my makeup bag!
Filtered Effects™ Soft Focus HD Setting Powder
I found this blush when I worked at Sephora - it's such a lovely shade! Neutral enough for every day and more natural looks, too. I have given or recommended this blush to every one of my friends!
Amazonian clay 12-hour blush
Shade “Bliss You Berry” is a DUPE for Clinique Black Honey. This is one of my favorite lip products!! Hydrating and nicely pigmented.
Clean Fresh Tinted Lip Balm
I can NOT get over how delightful this lip gloss stain feels on my lips. And it smells great. And, most importantly, it performs well - you leave the gloss on and as the moisture eventually wears away, it really does leave a good pigment on your lips...
Lip I.V. Hydrating Lip Gloss Stain | NYX Professional Makeup
I've used this lash serum for YEARS. It took probably a month of daily use for me to really think WOW I notice a difference. It looks like I have eyelash extensions! I put it on at night after my skincare, and that's it!
Essynaturals Premium Eyelash Growth Serum
This is such a pretty, subtle bit of sparkle! I love adding this to my eyes
Liquid Glitter Eyeshadow Eyeliner

This cream actually made such a big difference in how soft my skin feels! I remember being genuinely surprised by it when I first used it.

This is a well-loved classic and it deserves to be. I use this every time I wash my face and it's so soothing and has been so good for my skin
Original Witch Hazel Facial Toner - 12 oz.
I've used these makeup remover wipes pretty religiously for the last, like, 15 years?? They're effective at removing makeup, they're gentle, and my skin feels hydrated after using them.
Neutrogena Facial Cleansing Makeup Remover Wipes - 25ct
SPF is the best anti-aging key. This is genuinely my favorite sunscreen for my face. It just feels like a moisturizer! I don't feel greasy. And the 1 oz size stays in my purse at all times so I'm always prepared!

I've used this moisturizer for the past couple months and I feel that it's really hydrated my skin and brightens it
