Skincare & Breakout Care
The skincare products I reach for, including my cleanser, face spray and breakout care. My notes share how they’ve worked for me and where they fit into my routine.
These are one of the products I use when my skin starts acting up. The pads are convenient, and I’ve noticed fewer breakouts since adding them to my routine.
Oxy Cleansing Pads
This is the spot treatment I reach for when a stubborn pimple shows up. It’s become one of the products I keep on hand for those occasional breakouts.
Oxy Vanishing Spot Treatment
I keep these around for breakouts and usually wear one overnight. They also help keep me from picking at a spot, which is honestly half the battle for me 😂
Hero Mighty Patch Variety Pack
I reach for this on busy mornings when I want a quick skincare step. The spray is easy to use, and I like how it refreshes my skin without making the routine feel complicated.
e11ement Hypochlorous Acid Spray
I’ve repurchased this because it’s one of the cleansers I reach for when my skin gets oily or starts breaking out. My face feels clean afterward without feeling overly stripped.
Oxy Facial Cleanser
For mornings when your dark circles are showing up before you’re ready to 😅 This under-eye serum targets the look of dark circles, with a cooling metal rollerball for easy application.

Hair Care & Wash-Day Favourites
My shampoo, hair mask and weekly hair oil. These are the products I use when I want my hair to feel clean, soft and easier to manage.
I use this once a week on wash day. My hair has felt softer since I added it, and it’s become a regular part of my weekly hair-care routine.
Botanic Hearth Rosemary Hair Oil
My favourite part of using this mask is how much easier my hair feels to manage afterward. It leaves my hair soft and smooth, and I really like the scent too.
L’Oréal Extraordinary Oil Hair Mask
This leaves my hair feeling soft and clean, but the scent is a big reason I keep reaching for it. I can still smell it in my hair after washing.
Aussie Total Miracle Shampoo
Body Care & Grooming
Shower favourites, body oil and the grooming tools I use for quick touch-ups. Little parts of my routine that help me feel more put together.
I use this when my skin feels extra dry. The coconut and vanilla scent is right up my alley 🥥 And the spray makes it easy to apply without pouring oil into my hands.
Hydrating Dry Body Oil & Essence Duo
I use this for quick brow and facial-hair touch-ups when I don’t want to tweeze or wax. It’s rechargeable and handy when I just want a little cleanup.
iMusthav Eyebrow & Facial Hair Remover
I’ve had mine for over two years, and it’s still going strong. It’s quick to use and has become my go-to when I don’t feel like shaving my legs in the shower.
Remington Dual Foil Shaver
The vanilla scent is what keeps me coming back to this one. I like the foaming texture, and my skin feels soft after a shower.
DAISE Vanilla Whip Body Wash
If you love vanilla scents, this adds a little something extra to your after-shower routine. A shea body lotion for moisturizing dry skin, with a Vanilla Cashmere scent and a handy pump bottle for everyday use.

Everyday Makeup & Lip Care
The makeup and lip products I reach for, including easy brows, a lighter base and a little gloss. These are my picks for getting ready without making it a whole production.
I own all three palettes shown here because I enjoy the colours so much. They blend well for me, and I use them for both simple everyday eyeshadow and more dressed-up looks.
NYX Ultimate Shadow Palettes
I used to struggle with filling in my brows 😂 The angled tip on this pencil makes it easier for me to shape them without ending up with a harsh-looking line.
NYX Blade & Shade Brow Pencil
I’ve used this for over two years, and it’s still my favourite brow gel. It keeps my brows in place throughout my day without feeling stiff or flaky on me.
NYX Brow Glue
This is my go-to when my lips feel dry or chapped. I keep one in my purse so it’s there when I need it.
Burt’s Bees Original Lip Balm
This is my go-to when I want a lighter base. I usually use one layer, and it gives me a natural-looking finish without feeling heavy on my skin.
CoverGirl Simply Ageless Skin Perfector
I like these when I want soft-feeling lips with a little colour. They’re easy to throw in my purse and wear without thinking too much about the rest of my makeup.
e.l.f. Squeeze Me More Lip Balm Duo
I reach for this when I want a glossy finish that feels comfortable on my lips. It gives me the shine I like without feeling heavy or sticky.
e.l.f. Glow Reviver Lip Oil
I use this over my liquid foundation to set my makeup. I like the smoother, matte finish it gives me without feeling like another heavy layer.
Maybelline Fit Me Matte + Poreless Powder
I’ve tried other liquid liners, but I keep coming back to this one. The tip makes a wing easier for me, and it lasts through my day without smudging on me.
Rimmel Wonder’Ink Eyeliner
For lashes that look longer and fuller without adding falsies. The slim, flexible brush makes it easier to reach those little lashes, too. A simple addition to an everyday makeup routine.
Maybelline Sky High Mascara • Very Black
For mornings when your under-eyes could use a little help. This concealer covers the look of dark circles, and the sponge tip is handy for applying it where you need extra coverage.
Maybelline Instant Age Rewind Concealer 120
For when you want your makeup to stay put through a busy day. This hydrating gel primer gives your base a little grip, helping it hold onto your makeup. Apply before foundation as an extra step in your makeup prep.
e.l.f. Power Grip Hydrating Gel Primer
A lip liner you peel off to leave a lasting tint behind. Handy if you like defined lips but don’t want to keep reapplying liner throughout the day. Pair it with a clear gloss for a simple everyday lip look.
SACHEU STAY-N Peel-Off Lip Liner Stain • p-INKED
The blue colour is the application step, not the finished lip look! This lip stain leaves colour behind once the masque is removed. A handy option if you want lasting lip colour that you can wear alone or top with gloss.

For adding a little warmth to your makeup without shimmer. This matte bronzer fits an everyday look or a fuller makeup routine. Sweep it over your cheeks and forehead for a softly bronzed finish.

For the days you want a little colour without doing a whole face of makeup. A pink cream blush you can keep subtle or build up, depending on the look you’re going for.
e.l.f. Soft Glam Cream Blush Stick Pink
DIY Lashes
My picks for doing lashes at home, including bond and seal for Falscara lashes and a press-on option for when I’m in a hurry.
These are my quick option when I want lashes without dealing with separate glue. I like the natural look, especially when I’m getting ready in a hurry.
KISS imPRESS Press-On Falsies
This is what I use with my Falscara lashes. It helps keep them in place throughout my day without the corners lifting on me.
