Beauty recommendations that are on my own shelf!
These are things that I use in all my regular routines, and things that have lasting power even if you fall off your routine once in a while. A realistic and comprehensive list, and they’re all at a d...

This daily exfoliator came recommended from my favorite facialist, Lakisha at The Still Point. She was not lying when she told me it was great for daily use and would leave your skin with the smoothest finish. It clears out every pore and isn’t too a...
A perfect cleanser. Breaks down all the oils, makeup, and build up on your skin. Really helps with smoothing and evening your skin, and doesn’t dry you out.
Niacinamide Cleanser
Â
This works so well, literally after one use you will see a noticeable difference. Consistent use of this has made my arms, thighs, and legs so soft and smooth and it’s gentle to use multiple times a week!
KP Bump Eraser Body Scrub 10% AHA
1
Â
Use with a cotton round or reusable pad/cloth and it smooths out any bumps and helps tighten your pores. It’s a fantastic pre-makeup step before you moisturize and prime. It really preps your skin beautifully.
Glow Tonic Original Size - Exfoliating Glycolic Acid Toner
Â
This stuff smells great and works great on my hair to keep it moisturized before styling or when I air dry. I have wavy fairly thick hair that absorbs a lot of product. This can be used sparingly even on my hair. Because of this it lasts forever sinc...
Rice Water Hair Moisturizing Milk
Â
Long lasting, pigmented, and fairly easy to work with considering it’s a very thin consistency product. You have to move quickly with it but it’s so worth it. Beautiful all over the face and even lasts nice on the lips while eating and drinking.
Benetint Cheek & Lip Stain
Â
Super easy to use beginner product if you’re looking to start waxing at home. Comes with literally everything you need and it’s easy to order the wax refills.
KoluaWax Premium Hot Melt Waxing Kit
Â
Refill wax beads for the wax kit also on my list! These have lasted me a while and haven’t needed to be refilled yet but since the kit comes with a variety, you’ll know which kind of wax works best for your needs and can order that specifically.
KoluaWax Hard Wax Beads – Coarse Hair Removal
Â
Completely melts makeup off, super gentle and a really nice creamy formula. I follow up with their gelee niacinamide cleanser afterwards and it’s the perfect double cleanse duo.
Purple Ginseng Cleansing Balm
Â
Clarifying shampoo that cleans and clears out your scalp like no other. I have tried countless products to help with dandruff and build up on the scalp and this is absolutely top tier.
PEPTIDE PREPâ„¢ Detox Shampoo For Gentle Clarifying 8.5oz
Â
Body wash oil cleanser is something you don’t realize you need until it’s summertime and the concept of slathering on lotion after your shower is just horrendous. This stuff leaves you super hydrated so you can just lay there naked and cool down. It’...
The Glow Getter Multi-Oil Hydrating Body Wash
Â
You may be noticing a trend.. Naturium is an amazing brand with great ingredients at a really fair price point. This body wash is a super gentle exfoliator and lathers up really luxuriously.
The Smoother Glycolic Acid Exfoliating Body Wash
Â
Another fave and yes, I genuinely have all 3 of the body washes in this list in my shower at all times. I rotate them around and my husband can enjoy them as well! They work great on both of our skin types, and this one in particular is a great utili...
The Perfector Salicylic Acid Body Wash
Â
I love this mascara! It doesn’t flake, stays all day, lifts and volumizes. I have dark thick lashes that have a decent curl to them and this product keeps them looking perfect. Also works really well with curled lashes though and doesn’t weigh them d...
This toner is soothing and gentle. It is really nice on any agitated (unbroken) skin, for instance if you got some color on your face and it needs hydrating, or if you took off your makeup too roughly, this is super soothing. That is because of its f...
The most luxurious, thick, luscious hand cream. Smells incredible and leaves you mega hydrated. I use it on my hands and elbows and it works like a charm. It can be a little greasy, so not the best for on the go, but a really lovely overnight or post...
Almond & Milk Hand Cream
Â
I won’t lie, I assumed this brand was all influencer hype. I was wrong. This moisturizer smells decadent, like a vanilla cake but, the adult version. It is gentle and light enough for all over your body, but it truly keeps your skin looking and feeli...
DelÃcia Drench Body Butter - Deep Moisture Barrier Repair Body Cream
Â
Makeup remover that melts absolutely every kind of makeup right off. Water proof, staining, smudge proof, eyes, lips, face — doesn’t matter, this will break it right down. Also a little goes a lonnnng way so it really lasts!
ETUDE Lip&Eye Remover 8.45 fl.oz (250ml)
Â
This body bronzer works so nicely and blends amazingly well. It just gives a really nice tint and some perfecting/smoothing effects as well. It smells tropical and delicious and goes on nicely over fake tan and bare skin alike.
St.Tropez Instant Glow Body Bronzer - Medium
Â
Obsessed with this hair care line, the conditioner in particular is so luscious. My hair has been died many times and I use heat on it so it takes a bit of a beating!! This stuff gets me right after literally one use. Regular use has improved my scal...
The BEST nail glue. Stays stuck on perfectly and is actually very easy to apply due to how it distributes through the applicator. Genuinely works like super glue,— you can scrub your hair, work full time, wash your hands 10+ times a day, dig in the d...
