Have been using this as my daily moisturizer for the last year and I continue to love how lightweight and hydrating it is in my skin. I also enjoy that it’s the perfect weight for winter through summer weather no more changing my moisturizer to adjus...

Being in my late 30s means caring about wrinkles and dull skin prevention and this evening oil does wonders. It’s a plant based alternative to retinol which can be harsher on sensitive skin. Even after a full nights rest, my skin feels silky smooth i...

I struggle with dull skin in the winter and this has helped bring back that summer glow I love. I also like how gentle on my skin it is and how quickly I notice a difference.

Ask anyone that knows me and I live and breathe this stuff. I use this daily and it gives me the perfect no makeup look. It’s also surprising lightweight.

I pair this with the Tula primer for my everyday look. And the light shimmer in the sunscreen adds a nice glow to your face. Makes me feel sunkissed.

My go to eyebrow gel. It last all day and doesn’t flake. I personally like how it gives a laminated eyebrow look and it’s super inexpensive.
The Brow Glue Laminating Setting Gel - NYX
 
Cecilia Santos profile picture
Great to reduce fine lines and puffiness from your under eyes. I like to say it’s like caffeine for the tired eyes- perfect for someone like me whose screen time hours are a crime. It’s surprisingly refreshing and cooling when first applied and goes ...
Yerba Mate Wake Up Eye Gel - Good Molecules | Ulta Beauty
 
Cecilia Santos profile picture
Winter skin dryness is NOT a thing when I use this. It leaves my skin hydrated and glowy in the mornings. Despite being an oil, it doesn’t feel oily on your face and does not transfer on to your pillowcase or your sheets.
Midnight Recovery Concentrate - Face Oil - Kiehl's
 
Cecilia Santos profile picture
Another one of my favorite eye creams. A little goes a long way. You immediately notice a decrease in under eye puffiness and brightness.

I specifically use this to help with skin dullness. And normally pair it with my moisturizer at night.

Perfect shades of basic nudes and browns. I love the pops of shimmer and glitter. Perfect to creat a true day to night look. This is my go to palette when I travel. I get so much use out of this eye shadow.

Such a staple in my routine. It’s super lightweight and very hydrating. Doesn’t weigh your curls down and helps define your curls for a more styled appearance.
Rizos Curls - Ulta Beauty
 
Cecilia Santos profile picture
I’ve tried many curl creams and lotions and I keep coming back to this one. It’s very hydrating and helps lock in moisture to reduce frizz. I especially like how lightweight it is. Does wonders on my 4B hair

Left my curls feeling hydrated. I also found that I needed less product than normal to build up lather and clear out buildup. Helped me fight the frizz in the Las Vegas heat. 10/10 recommend.
Biotin Shampoo - Rizos Curls
 
Cecilia Santos profile picture
This is a must for all my travel destinations. I used the least amount of conditioner I’ve ever used and was able to detangle quickly. It left my hair feeling super moisturized. Wish people talked about this product more.
Biotin Conditioner - Rizos Curls

Apple cider vinegar rinse done right! I have different curl patterns and deal with frizz which means I use A LOT of products between washes. This has been so good a removing the build up. And has cut down time on wash day. 10/10 recommend

Our scalp needs love too. Honestly after a week of hair product buildup and styling, this brings much joy to my life.
MAXSOFT Scalp Massager Shampoo Brush
 
Cecilia Santos profile picture
Best hair ties to minimize hair breakage. I especially like the different sizes. I use the thicker for when my hair is curly and the “fine” hair for when it’s straight. That high ponytail hates to see my gimme hair tie.

A staple in my bag for the summer and an my vacations. This truly helps reduce frizz and it’s super lightweight
Curl Anti-Humidity Frizz Gel Oil
 
Cecilia Santos profile picture
First thing you’ll notice is this mask is not thick or creamy. It’s more of a jelly consistency which I personally noticed my coils absorbed better. Heavier creams sit on my hair. This fully penetrates and detangle and left everything feeling so silk...
