Skin products I swear by.. I don’t recommend anything I haven’t tried and seen results from. Promise!
Brightens and smooths my skin like no other product!
AHA 30% + BHA 2% Peeling Solution
Leaves skin soft, smooth, and gunk free. Moisturizing. Highly recommend.
Remove Makeup & Refresh Skin with Glycolipid Cream Cleanser
Perfect for spot treatment on acne and larger pores. Works in less than a week. Lasts a long time too because you only need to use a little bit! Doesn’t dry out skin or irritate either.
Salicylic Acid 2% Solution
Brightens, exfoliates, moisturizes, smooths. Also evens skin tone. Best used in morning!
Saccharomyces Ferment 30% Milky Toner
Brightens skin around eyes. Gets rid of puffiness and dark circles. Also really helps with crow’s feet!
Multi-Peptide Eye Serum
Perfect if you’re looking for an anti-aging treatment! Gets rid of wrinkles, smooths skin, and improves firmness.
Multi-Peptide + HA Serum
Reduces pores, congestion, oil, and uneven skin texture. Gets rid of shine. Moisturizes. Boosts radiance.
Balancing & Clarifying Serum
Not greasy. Smooths and moisturized skin. Also helps skin barrier. Use morning and night!
Natural Moisturizing Factors + HA
Love this toner! Exfoliates great without drying out skin. Doesn’t sting either. Skin is smoother, more luminous, and even after use. It also is perfect as anti-aging treatment!
Glycolic Acid 7% Exfoliating Toner
Reduces skin congestion, pores, + shine. Enhances brightness of skin. Moisturizing. Improves skin barrier.
Balancing & Clarifying Serum
This is the perfect SPF imo! It goes on light and is not greasy at all. You also don’t need a ton to cover your face. No smell. No white residue. Absorbs easily. Addresses aging as well as hydration. Great as a base layer/primer for makeup or other s...
UV Filters SPF 45 Serum
I have been using this serum for years. Improved smoothness of skin as well as hydration. Reduces oil and pores. When used consistently, makes skin brighter and smoother.
Niacinamide 10% + Zinc 1%
Shower + bath stuff
My favorite bath + shower products! I wouldn’t recommend if I didn’t love them and use them consistently.
Swear by these! Perfect for aches, fatigue, stress, seasonal affective disorder, and more!
Flewd Bath Soaks
Loved the body/hair perfumes so much I decided to try their deodorant. It is all natural so I was skeptical. No aluminum and no baking soda. They also advertise no irritation. The deodorant is advertised to work for 48 hours. I have tested this, and ...
Father Figure - Deodorant
Hair
Perfect for dry scalps or winter scalp! This serum supports hydration and alleviates discomfort from dryness. It DOES NOT weigh your hair down or make it sticky/greasy.
Natural Moisturizing Factors + HA for Scalp
Highly recommend if you want fuller + thicker hair. This serum supports your scalp and hair growth. Absorbs super easily. Non-greasy, lightweight formula. Very refreshing as well.
Multi-Peptide Serum for Hair Density
Good for hair and skin. It moisturizes skin while increasing shine and softness of hair. Naturally scented. Not refined.
100% Organic Cold-Pressed Moroccan Argan Oil
Swear by Kerastase. They have a shampoo/conditioner/treatment/product for every hair type. After one week, my hair was noticeably shinier, stronger, smoother, and more fortified. I color my hair often so it is damaged. This helped repair it! I do not...
Resistance Shampoo for Damaged Hair - Kerastase | Sephora
The perfect duo! I love this hair perfume. It’s not too strong, doesn’t create frizz or grease. I like the vanilla as an every day scent for all seasons. It is delicious, light, and yummy. The Oak + Amber is a delightful scent that is perfect for war...
Holiday Duo: Rustic Vanilla + Oak & Amber
I SWEAR by this shampoo. You do not need a lot to get a good cleanse. It foams enough but not too much. It is also very soothing on the scalp. I have noticed a difference in my hair since this (and the conditioner, also linked on this list!) I have t...
CALISTA Jousse Cleanse - Honeymint
This is the matching conditioner to the Jousse shampoo. Again, I swear by this product. I apply it from mid-shaft of hair downward and comb through, let it sit for 3-5 minutes, and then rinse for the smoothest, shiniest, most repaired hair of your li...
CALISTA Jousse Condition - Honeymint
Makeup
Love this foundation. Lightweight but buildable for full coverage. Not greasy. Not heavy. Tons of shades to match any skin tone. Not a lot needed for coverage so it lasts a while. Doesn’t clog pores/cause acne. Has Niacinamide in it to improve skin-t...
Face Bond Self Setting Waterproof Foundation - Urban Decay | Sephora
Love this concealer. Great for spot treatment alone or with foundation. Easy to apply. Lightweight but buildable. Waterproof and moisturizing yet matte finish. Doesn’t flake and doesn’t fade away either - have worn for up to 24 hours (and it actually...
Quickie 24HR Full-Coverage Waterproof Concealer - Urban Decay | Sephora
This is my go-to foundation. It is super lightweight but conceals + evens out skin tone perfectly. Not greasy. Does not flake. Stays on for at least 24 hours. Minimizes pores with a blurring effect. Contains Kombucha for nourishment and detoxificatio...
Hydromaniac Glowy Tinted Hydrator Foundation - Urban Decay | Sephora
I have sworn by this mascara for years now. It is the best mascara I have ever used. The blackest of black for all my emo girlies (and millennials). Makes lashes look fake. Not clumpy! No spider lashes! One coat is all it takes to get the look but mu...
Perversion Volumizing Mascara - Urban Decay | Sephora
This is the waterproof version of my go-to mascara (for years now)! Really is waterproof but does not resist makeup remover. I have cried in this, been in the rain in this, swam in this. It holds up. Doesn’t clump or give spider lashes. One coat is a...
Perversion Waterproof Mascara - Urban Decay | Sephora
Love this setting spray. I’ve used UD setting sprays for years, and their new releases don’t disappoint. This one is my favorite. Sets the makeup and gives a matte finish. Locks everything in for 24+ hours. This spray is sweat proof, waterproof, and ...
Mini All Nighter Waterproof Matte Setting Spray with 24HR Wear - Urban Decay | Sephora
My go-to mascara. Goes on smooth, no smudging. Perversion is my favorite for dark black. I also love Zero (black) and Smoke (matte grey).
24/7 Glide-On Waterproof Eyeliner Pencil - Urban Decay | Sephora
This is my very favorite lash primer. It goes on perfectly and isn’t clumpy. While it does appear white, it quickly disappears under your actual mascara. Your lashes are definitely longer and thicker after using this primer. It works best with the Pe...
Subversion Lash Primer - Urban Decay | Sephora
Swear by this for my large pores and t-zone when it flares up. This primer blurs pores using niacinamide and microspheres. It smooths skin. It also controls shine. It does not clog pores and goes on translucent so no residue or covering up color. Mak...
Pore Eclipse Liquid Primer - MILK MAKEUP | Sephora
Perfume
If you’re into musky and smoky smelling perfumes, this one is perfect! Reminds me of a cozy winter evening in front of the fireplace of a cabin. Lasts a long time as you don’t need much for a long-lasting smell. Secret: Buy the bottle + then get the ...
'REPLICA' By the Fireplace - Maison Margiela | Sephora
This body mist is to die for. Light but potent scent. It is just enough to make heads turn but not too much that people will gag or judge you for being too fragrant. The smell does not bother my nose (I am a migraine sufferer so strong scents can tri...
Vanilla Skin - Body Mist
Sweet, light, gentle, clean. This fragrance is fantastic and pairs well with the Vanilla Skin scent (linked in this list) or alone. It can be used as a hair or body perfume. It is not greasy. It is also not too potent. I get migraines easily with fra...
Heavy Cream - Body Mist
My signature scent. Perhaps cliche but nothing says class and old money like Chanel No. 5. You’ve got taste, and you love smelling good. This fragrance is potent but light. It doesn’t scream “I’m here,” but suggests it quietly. You won’t make people ...
Chanel N°5 Eau de Parfum
Adore this fragrance. If you’re a fan of candy smelling perfumes, this is for you. Light, airy with a cotton candy undertone. This will make you smell absolutely delicious. I alternate this with Chanel No. 5. (linked on this list, too).
