Let me preface that I am in no way, shape or form, a makeup connoisseur. I’m just a girl that prefers sleep in the morning before tackling getting a toddler ready for school, has a job where a full face of makeup is just not worth it, and still wants...

This mascara is hands down one of the best I’ve ever used.
If you’ve never tried a tubing mascara… you need to. I don’t think you’ll regret it. And this one specifically? So good.
The applicator does a great job of keeping my lashes from clumping, ...
tartelette™ tubing mascara
For those days when you just need something on your face—this is it.
If you’re more minimal with makeup like me, I want one product that evens out my skin, gives me some sun protection, feels good, and doesn’t break me out. This checks all the boxes...
Tinted Glow Wonderscreen® SPF 30 - DIME® Beauty
I need my makeup to be basically foolproof. Like… if it’s not easy and fast, I’m probably not doing it.
As much as I admire the girls who can do full-on eyeshadow looks, that is just not me. This is my kind of product. I have it in multiple colors a...
This primer is fairly new, but I’m obsessed.
I’ve been using it for about a month now, and on the days I actually put a little more effort into my makeup, this makes a big difference. It blurs my pores (which are… not small 😅), gives the prettiest ...
ballin' base™ poreless face primer | matte or glow finish - Tarte
I’m very much a “no-makeup makeup” girl—I want to look like I’m not wearing anything… but still a little more put together when I need to be. This does exactly that. It evens out my skin tone (which I need because of my redness) and somehow still loo...
timeless hydrating foundation - Tarte
This is one of the smartest things I’ve seen come out of the makeup world. Whoever thought of this… genuinely so innovative.
It’s 100% lazy girl approved, which is exactly my vibe because I’m never trying to spend forever on my makeup. This makes it...
Desert Island Duo® | DIBS Beauty
Back in December, I grabbed a bunch of these as stocking stuffers for pretty much everyone. We already loved this brand’s hand cream, so I had a feeling this would be a hit… and it absolutely was.
Now everyone’s hooked.
It’s thick and super hydrati...
Moisturizing Goat Butter Lip Mask for Hydrating Dry Lips
Skincare
I’ve dealt with acne pretty much my whole life, and this… truly changed my skin.
I don’t say that lightly. It gave me that “newborn baby soft” kind of skin and actually cleared my acne. Before this, my skin was bad enough that I didn’t even want to ...
These patches are so good.
I love them because they’re way less noticeable than the little star ones (and as a millennial… that’s all I need to say). So when a random blemish pops up, I can throw one of these on and not feel like it’s screaming at e...
Hero Mighty Patch 84 Total Patches - Costco Wholesale
This serum is an essential in my routine.
No mascara alone is going to give you the kind of length and volume this does. This is what sets the foundation. I use it every morning and night, and I can absolutely tell when I skip it—or even when I don’...
Essential Lash Serum - Babe Original
Body-care
This one’s for my “everything shower” girls.
I use this whole set when I shave, and my skin ends up so silky smooth. Like… actual baby skin. It has the slightest lemony scent too—super fresh, but still really soft and not overpowering.
And listen, ...
Total Body Set - Elevate Your Body Care with DIME Beauty
You really just can’t beat this lotion.
The scent settles into my skin so nicely—I can still smell it all day without it being too much. And it keeps my skin hydrated without any irritation (which says a lot because my skin can be a little sensitive...
Shea Better Vanilla Cashmere Body Lotion by eos
This is the lotion I reach for when my skin needs a little extra love.
It’s gentle enough that you can even use it on your face, but still strong enough to handle any dryness anywhere on your body. It just works.
And it has retinol, which I love fo...
Retinol Overnight Body & Face Lotion | Gold Bond® Skincare Products
THE. BEST. DEODORANT. EVER.
I’m not even exaggerating—I’m so impressed. And this is coming from a die-hard Dove girl because it actually worked. I could never find an “aluminum-free” or “clean” option that didn’t make things worse… like, hello BO by...
Refillable body care without the garbage. - Wild Deodorant
Perfume
I know, I know—BR540 is everywhere and there are a million dupes now.
BUT… this one wins. Truly.
I still get stopped at least once a month with someone asking what I’m wearing. It has all the same vibes and notes, just without the insane price tag....
Crystal Intense | Inspired by Baccarat Extrait - ALT. Fragrances
I could literally bathe in this—I love it that much.
I usually save it for events or when I’m feeling a little bougie, but honestly it’s soft enough to wear every day… I just don’t have that kind of budget.
It’s one of those scents that just makes ...
Chance Eau Fraîche - Cologne & Fragrance - Chanel
Hair-care
When it comes to shampoo and conditioner, I don’t ask for much—but I do have a few non-negotiables.
I need my scalp to feel clean and like it can actually breathe, I want it to smell amazing, and I want my hair to feel soft and hydrated every single...
I’ve used this for years and I’ll never give it up.
It has that signature Moroccanoil scent (you know the one) and it instantly tames flyaways. My hair looks smoother, my ends feel hydrated, and it gives the prettiest shine.
I use it all the time—a...
Moroccanoil Treatment Original
If you want to witness a modern-day miracle… try this.
It transforms your hair in literally 7 seconds. I didn’t believe it either, but my hair has never felt that silky. I mean it.
It’s like magic in a bottle.
Get it now before the whole world cat...
This is my favorite hair mask right now—and the smell gives me the biggest 2000s nostalgia.
I can’t even fully place it, but it smells like something from back then. It’s really good, but definitely more on the perfume-y side, so if that’s not your ...
