This has been one of my must-haves lately. I’ve been getting more into hot yoga, and if you’ve ever done hot yoga you know how SWEATY you are leaving that studio! I love to spray this on my face right after class; I notice I feel really cleansed by t...

I am OBSESSED with this skin tint. I used to use L’Oreal’s but it got kind of patchy and didn’t wow me like I wanted. A friend recommended this and I am so glad I tried it out. It provides great coverage while still being lightweight and staying true...

This liner has such a nice, smooth, creamy application and makes lining my lips easy! I love the color Let's Bounce and am excited to try more colors!

I LOVE these lip shimmers. I have these three colors and am obsessed with all of them. I love that I still get the benefits of chapstick while also getting a stunning, shimmery color.

I grabbed this cream on a whim when I needed something affordable - and it turned out to be a great purchase! This face cream keeps me moisturized throughout the day, and it blends in nicely (not too thick!). I will be repurchasing this!

This has become a staple and will remain a staple in my skincare routine! This milky toner is gentle and soothing - you can layer it for more hydration and it leaves your skin glowing.

This product is the MVP of glowy skin. I apply this after my toner and my skin literally shines! It is great for sensitive skin and provides a cooling, hydrating feeling. I will be re-purchasing this for the foreseeable future!
BYOMA Glow Serum

I have gotten so many people onto this product, and it never misses. I love the shade Whimsical. I leave this stain on for about 5-10 minutes, and after wiping it off, I have the most beautiful color on my lips! All I need is a clear gloss on top and...

I bought these on a whim because I needed something easy to take for traveling, and now I use these every day. The colors are beautiful, they blend perfectly, and a little goes a long way so you're really getting a lot for your money!

This is a newer product I've been using but so far I'm enjoying it! It cleanses and refreshes and doesn't dry out my skin. I'm incorporating it into my skin flooding routine to keep my skin hydrated!
ACWELL Licorice Toner

Waxing myself is soo much cheaper than getting it done professionally, but it's been tricky finding something that doesn't cause horrible pain. This sugar wax has been a game changer! It comes with reusable strips which I love because it means I don'...
Nad's 100% Natural Sugar Wax Kit

I love love love this body butter. The scent is to die for, it transports me right to the beach and I desperately need a perfume that matches. I found that applying can be difficult if you're putting it on completely dry skin, but if you put it on ri...
Trader Joe's Cacay Oil Body Butter

This shower oil really IS that girl. I will be repurchasing in a bigger bottle as soon as I run out. Not only is it a great body wash, but I use it for shaving and my skin is so smooth after. It also has an incredibly luxurious smell that makes me fe...
L'OCCITANE Shower Oil

This is my new go-to setting spray. It goes on smoothly, a lovely light mist to really lock the makeup into place. My previous ELF spray started leaking everywhere and staining my clothes, and I'm so glad to have moved on! My makeup stays in place al...
TIRTIR Waterproof Setting Spray
