17
items These are the beauty products I actually use when I want to look soft and put together without doing a full production. Think glowy skin, brushed brows, glossy lips, and that effortless “she has her life together” energy. Everything here is beginner-...

You need well maintained skin to have a great base! (or at least the illusion of it 🤫)
Lightweight and great for sensitive skin prone to redness
Centella Hyalu-cica Water-fit Sun Serum
This helps me with the sebacious filaments on my nose, the pimples on my back, preventing ingrown hairs, BO on my pits, crusty feet and my strawberry legs. Gotta love a multi-tasking product 😘
Glycolic Acid 7% Exfoliating Toner
What doesn't this spray serum do?? I use this to prep my skin before my tinted foundation, during my night time skin routine, and after the occasional full beat of make up to “melt” the products together. And if I'm ever in a sh*t mood, I'll spray this on my face to feel better because, truffles. ✨
d'Alba White Truffle First Aromatic Spray Serum 120mL
This milky rice toner is the quiet step that makes everything hit better. Rice extract helps brighten and smooth the look of texture, while the milky consistency adds that extra layer of hydration that preps your skin for makeup (or just a really goo...
ANUA Rice 70 Glow Milky Toner - 250ml
One of my holy grails, on my 4th bottle right now. Exfoliates gently, smooths my skin, and adds extra moisture. A friend of mine says she mixes this with her foundation to make it sit and look better on her skin. I haven't tried it yet but sounds legit.
mixsoon Bean Essence
This has got a chokehold on me rn. After years of damage from lash extensions, this is starting to help revitalize my natural lashes. Mind you, this isn't making them grow ungodly lengths, but I'm noticing it's slowly restoring the volume and thickness I used to have. Consistency is key!
Seapuri - Lashrum Eyelash Enhancing Serum
Make up for the effortless glowup
Mix with foundation or tinted moisturizer to get a natural glow without blinding others. Great for mornings where your skin is dull and did not get enough sleep.
Saie Glowy Super Gel Lightweight Illuminating Serum | Sephora
This blush goes on beautifully and is the perfect natural color for light-medium tones.
Double-Take Crème & Powder Blush - PATRICK TA | Sephora in Not Too Much
Natural, full coverage and creamy. Love how this sits on the skin and easy to use. I use this on my hyperpigmentation and blemishes and it blends out beautifully. And the Hyaluronic Acid is a plus!
NARS Soft Matte Complete Concealer Pot
Another full coverage concealer fave. This one I use for travel because it's got a built-in brush to blend out and a doe tipped applicator so I don't even need to use my fingers. I love this on the sides of my oily nose to cover the bit of redness and as long as I properly prep my skin before hand, it stays all day.
MAKE UP FOREVER HD Skin Full Cover Multi-Use Waterproof Concealer with Niacinamide
So easy to travel with and such a beautiful bright color that's still natural. Perfect color for evenings.
Flush Balm Cream Blush
Another multi-tasker I love! It helps color correct dark shadows on light to light-medium skin, but also contains PDRN to help with eye skin health. Even after two kids who are now school-aged, I still haven't gotten my sleep back, this helps with the shadows. Unfortunately not the sleep.🤨
SKINFOOD Salmon Darkcircle Concealer Cream
Haircare
Saved my dry, box dyed hair. (No shame in being a budget girlie). This one is a keeper in my books.
Nutritive 8H Magic Night Hair Serum for Dry Hair - Kérastase | Sephora
Formulated with rosemary, the mot du jour in hair loss for its circulation-boosting, scalp-stimulating reputation. I use this with their rosemary cleansing shampoo.
aromatica Rosemary Root Enhancer - 100ml
Clarifying shampoo WITH rosemary. Gotta love products that have more. 🌿
AROMATICA - Rosemary Scalp Scaling Shampoo
This does wonders for my frizzy low porosity hair!
Shiseido Tsubaki Premium EX Repair Hair Mask
Another must have for low porosity hair. A little over the ends of my hair does so much! Silky and smooth and hydrated in the morning.
Oshima Tsubaki - Camellia Oil
