Hair
A great hair mask to give your hair a little extra moisture when it's feeling dry and frizzy. Can be used once a week, or less often if you prefer! I have somewhat fine hair and I don't feel that this weighs it down or makes it heavy and greasy. Over...
Briogeo| Don't Despair, Repair! Deep Conditioning Hair Mask
I am obsessed with this product! I've been wearing my hair natural and wavy more often (versus curled), and this wave spray is a game changer! I'm not entirely sure how it happens, but it transforms my hair into this gorgeous, wavy mermaid waterfall ...
OUAI| Texturizing Wave Spray
A tried and true. I'm always on the hunt for new products, but this is one I always come back to. I love that it's lightly scented, so my hair doesn't smell like a tropical fruit on top of 1-2 days of being unwashed. I helps give my unwashed hair tex...
Batiste | Bare Dry Shampoo
If I had to choose a more expensive alternative to the Batiste, I think this Living Proof Advanced Clean would be it. I loved this product while I used it, and I did feel like it worked better than the Batiste, but for $40 I could not justify keeping...
Living Proof | Advanced Clean Dry Shampoo
I've been using Paul Mitchell products for years, and this Awapuhi Shampoo is always a classic. It's not a go-to for me every time, but I picked it up recently as they were out of my usual shampoo and I really liked it. It has a nice scent and cleane...
Paul Mitchell | Awapuhi Shampoo
Adding the Awapuhi Conditioner on here as it's another really great product. It has a nice scent and leaves your hair lightly conditioned without feeling weighted down.
Paul Mitchell | Awapuhi Conditioner
I picked this up quite a while ago (so I'm still working through the bottle) but I also really like this conditioner! I don't wash my hair daily, so I like that this thicker formula adds moisture to my hair that lasts for a few days! I was not a fan ...
Redken | All Soft Conditioner
I love this purple shampoo formula! It helps to avoid brassiness that can build up between appointments, so I try and keep up with it on a weekly basis to keep my blonde toned up and, well, blonde!
Redken | Blondage Color Depositing Purple Shampoo
This is a holy grail product. It never makes hair feel greasy or weighted down, and it provides so many protective benefits – it's a win-win! It can be pricey, but I think it's worth it!
Redken | One United All-In-One Multi-Benefit Treatment
My stylist recently turned me on to this product, as I was looking for more heat protectant against my curling iron. I like this, as it doesn't have an extremely high hold, so my hair stays soft and manageable.
Redken | Thermal Spray Low Hold
This is another go-to product for me! I venture off and try other hairsprays, but I seem to always come back to this! It maintains hold while also keeping hair manageable – so it's not crunchy or sticky. Love this hairspray!
Nexxus | Comb Thru Flexible Hold Hairspray
I'm not a big fan of the slicked back bun on myself, but when my hair is so dirty and I have no other option, I really like this Nexxus hair wax! I don't love the scent of this, so that is my biggest con, but I do like the hold and application of thi...
Nexxus | Slick Stick Strong Hold Hair Wax
This is my favorite shampoo! It gets my hair SO clean, it feels so soft for days afterwards. This + the Redken All Soft is my wash-day combo for super soft, shiny hair! Highly recommend!
Paul Mitchell | Shampoo One
I've been using this for probably over 2 years now, and I can attest that this really does work! I don't use it as the directions state to use it (I use it on wet hair on wash days only) but I have seen a lot of regrowth along my hairline and through...
The Ordinary | Multi-Peptide Serum for Hair Density
Another staple product! Clearly I am a big fan of Paul Mitchell?? This Quick Slip is a go-to for me for fast styling! It helps air dry my hair a little faster, as well as speeds up the blow-drying process, so it's a 10/10 for me! I definitely notice ...
Paul Mitchell | Quick Slip Styling Cream - Paul Mitchell
This is an air-dry day staple for me, as I have found that a mousse is really the key to getting my waves to….wave. I really like this curl talk, but it can leave my hair feeling a little crunchy if I don't work the product into my hair well enough. ...
Not Your Mother's | Curl Talk Curl Activating Hair Mousse
This is another staple for me! I don't wear my hair straight very often any more, but this is an excellent product for smoothing out your ends! For wavy hair, or if you're curling it with an iron, I find that this is really nice to use at the very en...
Paul Mitchell | Super Skinny Serum
The Hot Tools barrel is my holy grail of hair tools. With the length my hair is at now, the 1¼ size is perfect – but I've had quite a collection over the years ranging from .5 – 2 inches! I always look for them when I go to Marshall's because you can...
Hot Tools | 1-1/4" Pro Artist 24K Gold Collection Extended Barrel Curling Iron
Skin
This has been my daily facewash for probably 2-3 years now and I absolutely love it! I noticed a huge difference in my skin when I started using it – overall texture, less breakouts, improved skin tone – and was an instant LRP fan. I've since switche...
La Roche Posay | Toleriane Purifying Foaming Face Wash for Oily Skin
This is my daily moisturizer, and it makes my skin so soft and glowy! I l love this product and have recently started using the SPF version also!
La Roche Posay | Toleriane Double Repair Face Moisturizer
I liked the non-SPF version so much, I added the SPF to my routine! I was using another SPF, but (non-LRP) but it's only sold online.
La Roche Posay | Toleriane Double Repair Face Moisturizer UV SPF 30
On top of using Tretinoin (1x week), I use this glycolic acid 1-2x week (on opposing days!!) and I really love the results. It's a chemical exfoliant so if you have sensitive skin, be careful, but it's gentle enough that it would be a great product t...
The Ordinary | Glycolic Acid 7% Exfoliating and Brightening Daily Toner
I add a drop or two of this to my moisturizer every morning and I love the glow that it gives me! I have used this on my bare skin, but I prefer to mix it in with my moisturizer for the best results!
The Ordinary | 100% Organic Cold-Pressed Rose Hip Seed Oil
Now that I'm in my mid-30s, my eye bags have a mind of their own. I have been using this product for the last year or so and I am very happy with my daily results! I put it on after my other skincare, but before I put on my SPF/do my makeup, and I fi...
The Ordinary | Caffeine Solution 5% + EGCG Depuffing Eye Serum
Before I used Tretinoin, this was my go-to chemical exfoliant. I still use it on a very irregular basis, but it's always a nice way to give yourself a little extra peel – if you can handle it! This can sting while you're using it, but I find that usi...
The Ordinary | AHA 30% + BHA 2% High-Strength Peeling Solution for Brightening
I was on a mission a few years ago to grow out my lashes and this product has been a holy grail item ever since! While I have to credit Revitalash (not sold in Ulta stores, but linked in my Benable) for the intial growth, after switching to the ordin...
The Ordinary | Multi-Peptide Lash and Brow Serum
I love Aquaphor – I put this shit on everything! It's my go to for chapped lips, dry hands, dry feet, tattoos, burns, etc. I also use it as a clear mascara!
Aquaphor | Healing Ointment
Make Up
My favorite concealer! It's great at covering dark circles without feeling cakey, and doesn't crease throughout the day! The 110 shade in this color is a perfect match to my skin tone, too!
Maybelline | Instant Age Rewind Eraser Dark Circle Treatment Concealer
Following up to the concealer, the 112 is also a perfect match to my skin tone, so I reach for this constantly! I wear this to work typically, as it doesn't crease or dry out my skin throughout the day!
Maybelline | Instant Age Rewind Eraser Treatment Foundation
This is a classic! I don't really wear mascara so I reach for this to give my lashes a little bit of a lift!
Maybelline | Clear Great Lash Clear Mascara
This is my favorite blush/highlighter combo! It gives me just enough shimmer without being overly iridescent. I like that the shades are very mellow, also, and not overly pigmented. I love to wear this over top of my liquid blush to help blend it out...
Maybelline | Fit Me Blush
This is another classic! I've been using Benetint for a few years now! It's a staple for me throughout the summer when I don't wear as much makeup but still want a flushed look! I also love it for my cheeks and my lips!
Benetint | Liquid Lip & Cheek Stain
I was influenced to purchase this and at first I did not like it because it is so pigmented. However, once I figured out the right ratio for my own preferences, I am in love with this blush! It wears really nicely with the Maybelline foundation and c...
e.l.f. Cosmetics | Dusty Rosé Camo Liquid Blush
Another staple! I have been using this for years and will never use another powder. It's incredible!
e.l.f. Cosmetics| Sheer High Definition Powder
I recently started using this and I really really like it! I was already a fan of the power grip primer, but the setting spray adds a nice finish to my makeup and helps it wear better throughout the day!
e.l.f. Cosmetics | Power Grip Dewy Setting Spray
I reach for this whenever I am going out, as it's the glue that holds my makeup together! It's tacky when it needs to be, but once you apply your makeup overtop of it, everything sits really nicely with no creasing! I also like that it creates a ‘por...
e.l.f. Cosmetics | Power Grip Primer
I think this is a Charlotte Tilbury dupe, but I love it regardless of that! It's a great base for your makeup – I mix it with the power grip primer – to add a little extra glow under my makeup! I also like to wear this alone in the summer with some B...
L'Oréal | Lumi Glotion Natural Glow
These are my favorite sponges! I love using them when they are wet, as I feel it helps spread my makeup better and leave my with a dewy finish that's not cakey.
Real Techniques | Miracle Complexion Makeup Sponge Duo
My favorite lip product! I love that this is literally Almost Lipstick. I've tried the Black Honey and it's a bit too dark for my skin tone – so I love this Pink Honey alternative. They also have Nude Honey, which is more neutral…I'm curious!
Clinique | Pink Honey Almost Lipstick
Nails
My ride or die. If you do DIY manicures at home, this is a MUST as far as topcoats are concerned. No light required and you can get days of wear out of it! It also stays shiny so it always looks like your nails are freshly done!
Seche Vive | Instant Gel Effect Top Coat
I got this as a gift for my birthday one year and I've been hooked ever since. I can easily get 10+ days of wear out of one application (with the right prep – s/o Seche Vite Gel Top Coat) so I am constantly getting this in new colors to add to my col...
Essie | Gel Couture Longwear Nail Polish
I love this base coat and use it under the Essie Gel Couture and Seche Vive for extra long-lasting wear! A good at-home manicure is all about the prep!
Orly | Bonder Rubberized Basecoat
Perfume
I recently picked up the spray version of this perfume – I didn't know such a thing existed – and I love it! The oils sometimes can get on my clothes and I end up smelling it for wears afterwards!
Nemat | Amber Eau de Parfum
I really like this discovery kit because it allowed me to get a sense of each of the scents! I really like the White Musk and Amber!
Nemat | Bestsellers Perfume Oil Discovery Kit
One of my absolute favorites – D & G is a forever classic! Pro tip: a little goes a long way so I always buy the travel sizes because then I can get a few different scents to layer or alternate!
Dolce & Gabbana | Light Blue Eau de Toilette
A classic clean scent! Clinique can do no wrong when it comes to perfume – I also used to love their InBloom, but it's pretty hard to come by! But Happy is a staple that honestly smells good on everyone!
Clinique | Happy Perfume Rollerball
