haircare
keeps my scalp squeaky clean and free from flakes and buildup. i always use this as a pre-wash before regular shampoo, it smells amazing and great for getting rid of gunk from long no-wash periods!
Detox Clarifying Hair Shampoo - OUAI
my tried and true for over 5 years. keeps my hair strong, shiny, and smelling like a bougie bitch who just left the salon
Thick Hair Shampoo - OUAI
makes my hair silky smooth and staying hydrated, even in the dry weather
Thick Hair Conditioner
such a gorgeous smell, gives an extra shine and rehydrate in between washes (and after dry shampoo)
Hair Oil
i am obsessed with this scent! its so clean and cozy. i have really thick hair and typically only wash 1-2 times per week. this is the only dry shampoo that makes my hair feel clean instead of product on top of oily hair and give me a lot of volume
Super Dry Shampoo Cape Town
i dont like to use this on my scalp, but for a body scrub it's incredibly exfoliating and hydrating. the scent is so amazing in the summer, reminiscent of a luxury tropical vacation
Scalp & Body Scrub - St. Barts Scent - OUAI
skincare
gotta be careful to not overuse these--stick to 2-3 times per week as tolerated to protect your skin barrier. i use twice per week in addition to my exfoliating scrub once a week. great for minimizing pores and chemical exfoliation
Medicube Zero Pore Toner Pads
this has noticibly improved my skin elasticity and plumpness, gives me a nice youthful glow
SUNGBOON EDITOR Deep Collagen Serum
this is such a great product to have in hand for any breakouts of redness, irritation, or to repair your skin barrier. i used consistently after destroying my face with daily use of the medicube pads and it helps repair and soothe my skin
Dr. Althea 345 Relief Cream
allegedly a dupe for the rhode glazing milk (i personally don't use rhode products). has a lot of ceramides to support a healthy skin barrier. very lightweight, non-occluding, and hydrating
Prequel Skin Hydrating Moisturizer Face Cream
i use this a couple times a week when i want deep hydration overnight (usually the same days i do my AHA treatments). very smooth and doesn't feel occluding. leaves my skin really soft in the morning
Summer Fridays Jet Lag Mask
great alternative to prescription retinoids if your skin cannot tolerate them. i've noticed improvement in redness (PIE) and dark spots since using this. it's gentle and since it's an oil, it also feels hydrating. my skin is pretty sensitive and i am...
BYOMA Sensitive Retinol Oil
first of all, LOVE topicals as a company. but this serum is like magic for ingrowns and body PIE. use sparingly and on smaller, targeted areas since it includes exfoliating acids
Topicals High Roller Ingrown Hair Serum
this my holy grail. helped me thin my chin hairs and reduce density with waxing after having paradoxical hair growth with laser treatment. it has antifungal and antibacterial properties, so i've also used it to treat perioral dermatitis, intertrigo, ...
Cyperus Rotundus Oil
my favorite facial sunscreen. leaves no white cast or oily residue, has skincare benefits, sits well on top of other skincare, and feels non-occlusive.
haruharu Black Rice Moisture Airyfit Sunscreen
i really like this sunscreen too. it smells soooo good, has caffeine, antioxidants, and cucumber to help brighten and soothe the skin.
Vacation Super Spritz SPF 50 Face Sunscreen Spray
i absolutely love this sheet mask, its the only one i'll use. leaves my skin SO glowy and hydrated. i really like the fit of it and how it forms to your face better than most sheet masks.
SUNGBOON EDITOR Deep Collagen Overnight Mask
these are great for extra hydration and a little refresh around your eyes. the serum leaves my skin so soft and hydrated.
Summer Fridays Jet Lag Eye Patches
hands down THE best eye masks. i love the fit, the feel, how well they stay put, and all the magic happening under the mask. the serum for sure helps fade undereye darkness if used twice a week and leaves my skin hydrated and refreshed.
Topicals Faded Brightening Under Eye Masks
i don't wanna support PTR but i have been unable to find an exfoliating mask as good as this one. first, as a fall girly i LOVE the scent but also that pumpkin enzymes are actually used. great as a 2-in-1 chemical and physical exfoliator. not overdry...
Peter Thomas Roth Pumpkin Enzyme Mask Enzymatic Dermal Resurfacer
my favorite gentle cleanser. amazing to use during periods of inflammation and skin barrier damage, but i love it as my daily cleanser. leaves my skin feeling clean but not tight or stripped.
HARUHARU Black Rice Moisture Cleansing Gel
i got completely scorched wearing no sunscreen this summer and started using this daily to protect myself. doesn't even feel like sunscreen (but smells like it a little) and leaves my skin very moisturized.
Sun Bum Daily SPF 50 Sunscreen Body Lotion
i frickin love this lotion. the scent is my go to in the winter to pair with my beirut baklava perfume. its so thick and hydrating, but soaks into your skin perfectly.
EOS Better Than Cashmere Body Lotion
idc what flavor you like, this is the best drugstore bodywash. its so hydrating, the scents are amazing (i like the pistachio, strawberry dream, pink champagne, and the new beach waves smells just like OUAI st barts), and i can get away with just usi...
EOS Better Than Cashmere Body Wash
this stuff actually works. i've noticed increased plumpness and hydration in my lips since i've been using it every night. it's not a numbness plumper, it uses proprietary volulip to help your lips make its own hyaluronic acid (filler in a jar?). the...
Asterwood Volulip Plumping Lip Treatment
ole reliable lip balm. perfect for when you don't want a full lip and just need something to moisturize.
Palmer's Cocoa Butter Lip Balm
makeup
i tried what feels like 2342349 skin tints. i'm not usually a makeup gal but this is a lightweight skin tint with pretty good coverage. doesn't sit on top of my skin or disappear when i rub it in. lasts most of the day and blends well with other crea...
Milk Hydro Grip Hydrating Gel Skin Tint
this liner lasts for me usually about half the day. it's lightweight and blends well. i have both slipper and maple--love the colors.
Summer Fridays Flushed Lip Stain
such a great concealer. goes on smooth, blends well into skin without disappearing or sitting on top. really great coverage.
Huda Beauty Concealer
this stuff is magic. i'd recommed trying it in store to find your color before ordering. i've used it on bruises, under eye circles and it covers so well. usable under the concealer too without too much product building up.
Huda Beauty Under Eye Color Corrector
i love this blush. very pigmented and blendable. i have the shades strawberry cream and black cherry, one for a more natural look and one for when i'm feeling a little more bold.
Huda Beauty Blush Filter Soft Glow Liquid Blush
this lip balm really lives up to the hype. not too sticky, very smooth and hydrating. i like the natural exfoliants--it really helped clear up my dry lips in the winter.
EADEM Tinted Lip Balm
i blind bought the trio when they were donating some of the proceeds to Palestine Children's Relief Fund and what a great purchase. these are on the thicker side but they last a while and the shades are soo pretty. very, very hydrating.
Topicals Slick Salve Trio Builder
maintenance and tools
if there is one thing above all else on this page to purchase, this is it. i cannot recommend this mask enough. therabody did the largest LED therapy clinical trial and their mask has the most LED lights of all of them on the market. it uses three ty...
Therabody TheraFace Mask Glo LED Light Mask
theee best eyelash curler. keeps them curled for a long time! i use this to prep for a lash lift, or when i'm taking a break from lifts.
Tweezerman Classic Eyelash Curler
i learned how to do my lashes at home! this kit is really affordable, comes with 5 sets of all you need to do a lash lift. my lift lasts about 6-8 weeks for a fraction of the price at a salon.
Clione Korean Lash Lift
full disclosure, i found mine on sale at Marshalls after christmas for $39. i thought after my chin laser results i wouldnt have luck with IPL, but after using for a month i've noticed less hair density on my legs and that the hair is growing back th...
Nood The Flasher 2.0 IPL Hair Removal Device
such a great and reliable trimmer. i have one in the shower for my bikini area (and my legs if i grow them out) and one to keep outside with the foil shaver attachement for my moustache. the charge lasts a really long time and it's waterproof.
OLOV Electric Body Hair Trimmer
amazing for daily use in the shower. i love being able to do a gentle physical exfoliation and feel like this really does help get the gunk out of my pores.
Medicube Multi Blackhead Pore Brush
this actually works. i went 6 months without a lash lift and needed to up the mold i used bc my lashes grew so much since then.
Babe Renewing Lash Serum
i've tried a gua sha, a jade roller, an ice roller, and nothing feels better than using this to massage in my serums. such a good job at reducing puffiness and lymphatic drainage.
