I use this mask once every 2/3 weeks :)
Résistance Masque Thérapiste Hair Mask
I got highlights done back in May and I’ve been taking care of my hair like I’ve never had before. That means I’m investing a little bit more money here. I’ve been using the hydrating shampoo from the Blond Absolu line and it cleans my hair really we...
Blond Absolu Hair Care for Blonde Hair
When I use my hair natural, this is my favorite leave in conditioner. I like to change it up every once in a while, but I’ve bought this one for the past 3 times I had to purchase a new curl cream. This gives me definition without making it crunchy (...
All About Curls® Bouncy Cream for Frizz-Free Curls
Now, when I get a blowout this one and the Oribe smoothing cream have been my favorites. Yes, they are pricey, but they don’t leave your hair heavy and the finish is a lot smoother.
Liquid Glass High-Gloss Smoothing Blowout Cream
I made the mistake of trying this one first and that was it for me 🤪
This and the Liquid Glass are my favorite blowout creams.

the famous perk up from Amika with Miami Nectar scent from Ellis Brooklyn. It does smell great and does a great job of keeping my hair clean for an extra day when I’m super busy :)

Makeup
Full coverage, hydrating, and it stays on — even on hot days. It brightens instantly and makes a real difference. Some days I skip foundation and use this all over
Hy-Glam Concealer | Brightening & Hydrating
And this is the MOTHER of the setting sprays if you want your makeup to stay on all day and night. I’ve been to concerts, worked in customer service talking for 5+ hours, I’ve been to weddings and this setting spray held my makeup through them all. I...
On 'Til Dawn Setting Spray | ONE/SIZE by Patrick Starrr
I have combo skin and I was afraid of using this product cause it’s literally a glow lotion, but when I tell you this holds better than my favorite foundation on hot days… seriously. I don’t know what’s the magic, but it works! And it blurs too! I me...
Lumi Glotion Natural Glow Enhancer, Face and Body
this blush… it’s pigmented like no other, it lasts all day and it doesn’t heighten texture on the skin. It’s my favorite and I have a few shades. My favorites are: she goes to the gym and she’s the moment
Major Headlines Double-Take Crème & Powder Blush Duo
one of my favorite co-workers from the time I worked at Sephora recommended me this powder and it’s the best. You can honestly get the mini and it will last you forever. It’s better than the HUDA setting powder, which I also love, but I think I made ...
Veil™ Translucent Setting Powder
I use it as my concealer brush in days I’m doing a 5 minute makeup

this cleansing oil removes makeup and sunscreen easily
Anua Heartleaf Pore Control Cleansing Oil
I thought Khiels face serum sunscreen had my heart until I tried the AHC stick sunscreen. Besides being double spectrum and SPF50+, it also blurs and my face is not oily even after I workout on a hot Chicago summer day. Also tried before putting on m...
AHC Natural Perfection Fresh Sun Stick 14g SPF50+
This won my heart over the vinoperfect from Caudalie, and if you know the product, you know what I’m talking about.
But if you don’t, this vitamin c really does brighten and works on hyperpigmentation like a charm. I’ve been using for over 2 months ...
Bright On 10% Waterless Vitamin C Serum
you don’t need to spend a lot of money on face cleansers. repeat with me. You do not need to spend a lot of money on face cleansers.
Love this one!
Facial Cleansers & Face Wash
I use this as my nighttime moisturizer and it’s an incredible product. I’ve been using it for the past two months and my skin feels so hydrated and smooth ✨
Barrier Restore Cream
My skin was feeling dull and I got this recommended. This is one of the few products I didn’t do much research, but wanted to try it anyway. And I’ve bought 3 ever since. ✨
10% Azelaic Acid Booster
Farmacy has become of my favorite skincare brands. I bought the vitamin c and it’s been my favorite for months, so I decided to invest in the retinol too and no regrets!!!

Body
I love body lotions and I honestly have to control myself not to buy every single one available. I live in Chicago and this one is perfect for warmer temperatures. It’s lightweight, hydrating and leaves a subtle glow on the skin too.
Hand & Body Lotion
if you don’t know this one yet, just try it. Trust me. It smells amazing, it hydrates really well and I love layering vanilla scents with the vanilla cashmere body lotion
eos Body Lotion | Deeply Moisturizing, Lightweight Hydration
on the bougie side, I love this body butter. YTTP is a clean brand and I had the opportunity to learn a lot from the brand when I worked at Sephora a while back. this is one my favorite products from them. AMAZING for winter in Chicago and it gets my...

I know… the little girls are all over it. Sorry, I am too. It’s SO good and as a Brazilian I’ll be supporting their business yes ma’am
Cheirosa 59 Delícia Drench™ Perfume Mist
this is another vanilla favorite. yeah… I think I’m a vanilla girl. anyways… it smells great but not sweet, you know what I mean?? this is for the 25+ girlies who loooove vanilla too
Vanilla Skin Body Mist
I have a confession… I don’t like to share my perfumes. I think it’s the only body product it should stay a little personal. We listen and we don’t judge ok? All that to say, I do recommend the 7 virtues perfumes. You will find your favorite.
The 7 Virtues
I’m not a huge fan of Rare Beauty, but this perfume surprised me! It smells warm and cozy, and the best part is that it lasts all day!
