items The things that make me want to twirl around and sing “I Enjoy Being a Girl”
The color matches my skin so well, and it doesn’t make my sensitive skin break out!
Double Wear Stay-in-Place Foundation
I’ve tried so many mascaras, and while there are some good ones out there, this one truly is the best. I always get asked what mascara I’m wearing.
Shop Mascara
I love these. Orgasm and dolce vita are the quintessential your-lips-but-better shade. I wear this when I’m going for an elevated but natural look.
Lip Balm | NARS Cosmetics
I love these more than anything else I’ve ever tried. It starts off as a creamy stain, and it really does last. Perfection in a tube.
Soft Pinch Tinted Lip Oil
I rarely hear anyone talk about how good this product is. I always buy two when I see it on sale. My skin always feels incredible after using this.
A+ High-Dose Retinoid Serum
Classic for a reason. I love that it’s not fragranced, and it completely saves my skin from the dry, harsh Colorado winter. It’s thick, but has never clogged my pores. The perfect moisturizer.
Ultra Facial Cream with Squalane | Face Cream
If my lips (or my kid’s lips) are particularly chapped, I always reach for this. It is the ONLY thing that works for my kiddo’s lips, and we tried EVERYTHING. Cheap and effective? Yes please!
O'Keeffe's Lip Repair Unscented: Guaranteed Relief for Extremely Dry ...
I have oily eyelids. Most eyeliners fade or even run (hello raccoon eyes). This is the only eyeliner I’ve found that stays put.
Kat Von D Tattoo Liner Waterproof Eyeliner
When I don’t feel like wearing a full foundation, I reach for this. This is the only skin tint that doesn’t make my skin look strange, and instead gives a little coverage and adds a nice glow.
Hydro Grip Hydrating Gel Skin Tint
I try to keep my curl routine simple, and this helps that. Kind of a gel/cream, it helps define my curls/waves when I want my natural/wild look.
RE:COIL Curl Activator
I swear by this. Is it gross to see the dead skin that come off? Maybe. But it’s so satisfying to feel so soft and clean!
Wildpier Deep Exfoliating Body Gloves
Nicely scented without being overwhelming. The perfect follow up after using my Wildpier exfoliating glove.
Sensitive Body Wash | Dove
Every time I try to tell myself I can live without this and switch to something else, I find myself regretting it, and running back to purchase this. My skin always feels incredible after using this. So hydrating.
Water Sleeping Mask Brighten & Hydrate
I know, it’s on nearly everyone’s list, but it’s for good reason. It makes my face feel like it was kissed by angels. I try to stock up when I find it on sale, but it’s truly worth every penny.
Good Genes Lactic Acid Treatment
I use this when my skin needs a little moisture. Lightweight, but hydrating, never sticky, just perfect boost of moisture. I’ll repurchase this forever.
Hydro Boost Body Lotion Gel Cream With Hyaluronic Acid
They just make me look more awake, even if I’ve been up since 4am.
LUMIFY Eye Drops Redness Reliever
This is really my favorite cleansing balm. When I find it on sale, I buy an extra one so I never run out. It really melts my makeup, and doesn’t leave a residue or clog my pores like some other high-rated balms.
Clean It Zero Cleansing Balm Original | Makeup Removing Cleanser Balm
Lightweight, doesn’t clog my pores, and does what it says it will. I will always rebuy this.
COSRX Snail 96 Mucin Essence | Award-Winning Hydration & Glow
Being asthmatic, it’s hard to find unscented hairspray. Not only is this unscented, it actually works!
L'Oreal Elnett Satin Hairspray Extra Strong 11oz
Most leave in treatments are too heavy for my fickle hair, but this is light enough that it doesn’t make it look like I didn’t just take a shower. (90’s grunge never looked good on me). It definitely makes my hair more manageable!
One United Lightweight Leave-In Hair Conditioner
Is it beauty? Healthcare? Sometimes it’s both. I’ve tried other brands, but I always go back to this.
Refresh Mint Whitening* n-Ha Toothpaste
I use this blush when I’m feeling lazy or thrifty. The formula definitely doesn’t feel cheap and blends very nicely. The color is very pretty. I’ll always repurchase this.
Cheek Kiss Blush + Glow
I’ve tried every dupe and can’t find anything else I like as much as I like this one. Will repurchase until I’m dead.
Brow Definer | Anastasia Beverly Hills
I love a good affordable product, and luckily, this is both. I’ve tried all of the expensive concealers on everyone else’s lists, and I continually buy and use this one. It covers all the bad and looks flawless.
Healthy Skin Radiant Cream Concealer, Ivory (Light 01) - Neutrogena
I used to swear by another floss. Used it for years. Then I saw this and saw SUCH a difference. My teeth feel so much cleaner, and I love all of the flavors it comes in so I can change it up if I feel like it. Buy it, try it, I promise your mouth wil...
Dentist-Designed Woven Dental Floss at Cocofloss
If I need a break from the strong stuff, or I’m just feeling a little ✨thrifty✨, I reach for this. It really makes my skin feel nice. Love it
Good Molecules Gentle Retinol Cream 30ml
When I choose to blow my hair straight, this is the only thing that does what I need it to. It helps tame my frizz and protect my strands without weighing it down. Total lifesaver.
Hairdresser's Invisible Oil Hair Primer
Obsession kind of describes how I feel about this lotion. Whatever it was I used before this really didn’t cut it. My skin has transformed since I’ve started using it, and I will never ever stop.
retinol body cream
Fun fact: I went YEARS (far too many) without seeing a dentist (thanks divorce + COVID) and I had ZE-RO cavities. Clean bill of oral health. I swear the reason is this toothbrush. Sometimes I go back to using a manual brush, and I notice such a huge ...
Oral-B iO Electric Toothbrushes - Buy iO Series 7, 8, 9
When I’m not feeling lazy, I like to double cleanse (especially when I’ve had makeup all day). This is what I always reach for when it comes to step two. It cleans whatever is left away, and leaves my skin feeling fresh, but not stripped. I have it i...
Face Wash & Face Cleansers for All Skin Types
I know, Olaplex, shocker. My hair is naturally curly/wavy, but I usually beat it into submission with a good hairdryer and my trusted flat iron. This stuff makes my hair look so much healthier, and maintains it to actually be healthier. It will alway...
N°.3PLUS Hair Repair Pre-Wash Treatment
Mars changed the formula of Orgasm and basically ruined my life. Maybe I’m a little dramatic, but I will hold a grudge forever.
To help me get over it (eventually), this blush is really close. The color payoff is great, it blends beautifully…kudos t...
Petal Power Mineralize Powder Blush - MAC
When I don’t feel like depleting my Sunday Riley retinol, I reach for this. It works enough for the price, and still makes my skin feel and look nice. I don’t love the scent, but it’s not too overwhelming.
RETINOL CORREXION® Deep Wrinkle Serum
I’ve been using this so long, it deserves a place on this list. Sometimes I second guess if I want to use the Hourglass mascara. This is really my tried and true. Then I get bored and wonder if others are better, and I come back to this.
Try it for y...
