Best non flaking brow gel I’ve ever used
Brow Laminating Gel - Clear-Drying Brow Gel
Perfect for adding a soft subtle glow and blurring effect to your base
Cloudlight Soft Glow Veil Finishing Powder
One of the only concealers that’s been consistent and fits both my summer and winter makeup routine. It’s a smooth medium to full coverage. Not the widest variety of undertones but great for the price
I Am Magic Concealer for Dark to Light Skin
A dependable, affordable lip liner. My everyday liner under nudes and brighter shades to help them work better with my skin tone
Shop Creamy Lip Liners & Pencils | NYX Professional Makeup
My favorite black girl friendly bronzer. Gives warmth and depth to my makeup without being too orange
Bronzer
One of my favorite setting sprays ever. I love that it’s an aerosol, the continuous fine mist means your coverage is consistent with no spots missed. Adds a beautiful blurring effect you makeup and helps give longevity. I love to use it in layers ins...
Continuous Setting Mist
Milani makes some of my favorite drugstore blushes. Gorgeous and pigmented, with some pearlescent shimmer that gives a subtle highlight effect as well
Blush Products & Powders
I’m more of a medium to full coverage foundation girl but I love the eaze drops. It’s the epitome of your skin but better, and pretty affordable
Eaze Drop Lightweight Blurring Skin Tint — 20
My current favorite tinted moisturizer. I can apply with hands like a lotion or a brush for slightly more coverage and feel put together for work or casual outings with minimal effort!
Tinted Moisturizers: Natural, Oil Free, & with SPF
One of my favorite liquid blushes, it’s EXTREMELY pigmented. A little goes a long way so it lasts forever AND it’s easy to blend out
Soft Pinch Liquid Blush | Long-Lasting Dewy & Matte Blushes
Benefit is my go to brand for brow products. I’ve used the precisely my brow pencil for years, it’s one of the best in the market. If your brows are more full and like to fill in with hairlike strokes this is the best pencil to use
Brow Makeup: Long-Lasting, Waterproof & More for Brows
One of my fav lip balms out right now. Most lip balms don’t meet my standards for moisture, longevity AND color payoff but so far these are great. Good natural colors and they are so smooth and moisturizing without being sticky
Ceramide lip blur balm | Hydrating Lip Balm
Fragrance
One of my holy grail perfumes that I come back to over and over. Warm floral lovers will enjoy
Replica Beach Walk EDT Perfume | Maison Margiela Official
Sexy and warm, perfect to layer and add longevity to your fragrance routine
Egyptian Musk Fragrance Oil
Love this scent, it’s soft with vanilla and a light musky undertone. Beautiful to layer with!
Soft Spot Perfume - Full Size Fragrance
Skincare
A great chemical exfoliant. I’ve used both this and the mandelic acid one and this has been my go to in summer when I’m sliiiightly more oily. Smooths texture and doesn’t dry me out=a skincare win
SKIN PERFECTING 2% BHA Liquid Exfoliant
A great cheaper dupe for the Rhode beauty milk that’s way kinder to your wallet. Gives good hydration and bounce, also great for skin prep before makeup application
Hydrating Milky Toner
A great, wallet friendly makeup remover. Great as a first step in double cleansing. Wet your face and apply. Rub in to break up makeup, rinse or wipe off with a reusable makeup remover towel and then go in with your favorite cleanser to take off make...
The INKEY List USA Oat Cleansing Balm 150ml
Love this body butter, it’s soft and luxurious at an affordable price point. The scent is warm but light so it won’t overpower perfume. Great as part of a relaxing nighttime moisturizing ritual
Golden Hour Body Butter
Another black girl friendly product. Love the oil application, it feels non greasy and didn’t clog my skin. Also not a super strong spf spell which while not a deal breaker is a plus for me
Mele No Shade Sunscreen Oil Broad Spectrum For Melanin Rich Skin Spf 30
I am not a fan of most products from this brand HOWEVER this one is the truth! I do have naturally full brows but after using this product I did notice a difference in the volume and thickness of my lashes and brows. Would highly recommend to anyone ...
Multi-Peptide Lash and Brow Serum
My go to for giving skin that extra glow. I especially love it in fall and early winter, there’s no pigment in it but it helps stretch the last of my summer tan so that I still look glowy and hydrated
Vaseline® Intensive Care™ Cocoa Radiant Gel Oil
Relatively new in the rotation but loving it so far! Admittedly my thighs are huge abs rub together. It can cause painful friction bumps as well as darkening. Although the darkening isn’t as easy to fix due to also having PCOS, this product does soot...
Night Rescue Overnight Brightening Stick
This product is so simple but soooo effective. There’s very few products I use on my face and body but this is one of them. Anytime I feel dry and damaged I slather up with this for some water barrier repair. It’s also great for rough dry heels if yo...
Healing Ointment for Very Dry, Chafed & Cracked Skin
La Roche Posay has quickly become a favorite drug store brand. This face wash cleanses well without making me feel dry and tight the way the foaming cleanser did(which may be better for you if you’re oily) it’s gentle and the big bottle lasts MONTHS
Toleriane Hydrating Gentle Facial Cleanser
This product is honestly worth the hype and price (20$) it’s water but it gives instant hydration and bounce to my skin. It’s great morning and night and I’ve noticed that my other skincare products absorb better since using it. Dewy glowy girls this...
Caudalie Grape Water Moisturizing Face Mist
This has become one of my holy grail moisturizers. I have normal skin but in the summer I often find my normal moisturizers to sit too heavily. This one was the perfect balance for me. It’s heavier and more hydrating than gel, but not as dense as a c...
Bubble Skincare Cloud Surf Water Cream, Oily Skin ...
This is a slightly cheaper hydrating mist alternative for those that don’t want to spend on higher end brands. Works very well with other Bubble products, it does dry a bit sticky so it may not be for everyone, but it gives a nice bounce to the skin ...
Bubble - Cosmic Rain Hydrating Face Mist - Ulta Beauty
