These are some of my fav makeup/beauty/self care items I have used and this is coming from a low effort gal! I am not really into million step skincare procedures or 45 minute makeup application processes… keep it simple!

Affordable, clean ingredients, works well pretty universally on different skin types! This is my daily face wash I use
6.7 oz The Cult Classic Purifying Face Cleanser - TULA | Ulta Beauty
This is another great option for face wash, I use it more in the summer when I am sweating a lot and the air is more humid as this works best for oily skin! It is another affordable option and I have seen this available at drug stores and Target too
13.5 oz Toleriane Purifying Foaming Face Wash for Oily Skin - La Roche-Posay | Ulta Beauty
Some people will tell you not to use face wipes, but I always have and I think my skin is fine! I always keep these on hand for after the gym, or honestly some nights when I am feeling lazy before bed and don't want to do a full face wash… better tha...
This is a great face wash too but is double the price of the others. I got it once for Christmas as a gift and while I did like it, I simply don't want to spend that much on a face wash so I didn't purchase again. If you don't have concerns about the...
The Rice Wash Skin-Softening Cleanser - TATCHA | Ulta Beauty
This exfoliator is by the most expensive beauty product I use but it has shown insane results for me! I had lots of little bumps on my face that weren't zits but they just wouldn't go away. I got a facial and the woman recommended this brand to help ...
PCA SKIN Pore Refining Treatment (2.1 oz.)
Lotions/Serums
My absolute favorite serum! I started using this about a year ago and I really like it a lot. I think it is a decent price point, has clean ingredients, and hydates and brightens
This is a really good face cream for sensative skin! It is thick so I prefer to use it at night, especially in winter when I get super dry. Don't let the price scare you too much because it goes on sale often and it is also a HUGE tub so it lasts a w...
12.0 oz (Jumbo) Ultra Repair Cream - First Aid Beauty | Ulta Beauty
Here is another Tatcha product, that yes is very expensive, but also yes is very nice if you have the budget for it! I recieved this once as a gift and bought a refill of it once, but due to price haven't gotten again since. It's a gel lotion so it f...
1.690 oz The Water Cream Oil-Free Pore Minimizing Moisturizer - TATCHA | Ulta Beauty
I think this would be a good alternative to the Tatcha water cream if you want something with a similar formula! It has a lighter, gel feel to it while being super hydrating. Best part of course is the price point for this option!
Hydro Boost Hyaluronic Acid Water Gel Moisturizer - Neutrogena | Ulta Beauty
This is my holy grail for winter dryness! This is the only lotion that I have seen a true difference using when it gets freezing cold and really dry air. 10/10 recommend and it is very affordable too. Don't sleep on CeraVe, it seriously works
16.0 oz Moisturizing Cream, Body & Face Moisturizer for Balanced to Dry Skin - CeraVe | Ulta Beauty
This is another really inexpensive serum option that can be used daily without being drying! This gets applied when your skin is slightly damp and it feels super hydrating. It isn't harsh and has natural ingredients so you know you can rely on it yea...
2.5 oz Hyaluronic Acid Serum - Good Molecules | Ulta Beauty
This is one of the only face sunscreens I have used that truly didn't cause oily break outs! I add this into my routine more during summer but it can be used year round, with or without makeup for added protection!
2.5 oz Unseen Sunscreen SPF 50 Invisible Sun Protection for Face - Supergoop! | Ulta Beauty
The eye cream game is brutally expensive most of the time, but this option is affordable and I think works amazingly! It has a metal cooling applicable end too which feels super refreshing when you are applying the cream. I have been using this for a...
Revitalizing Eye Cream - cocokind | Ulta Beauty
Body Care - Lotions, scrubs, etc.
You have probably seen this on social media already, but it seriously works! I love this cream, it smells great and you can legitimately see it tightening the skin. Not something you NEED for daily use, but definitely recommend
8.1 oz Brazilian Bum Bum Visibly Firming Refillable Body Cream with Caffeine-Rich Guaraná - Sol de Janeiro | Ulta Beauty
Aluminum Free deo that actually works! I have tried a lot of the Aluminum Free deodorants and they either seem to not work, you notice yourself smelling within a couple of hours, are sticky, etc. etc. The Native one actually is amazing! It does the j...
Native Deodorant - Eucalyptus & Mint - Aluminum Free - 2.65 oz
Another amazing product from Sol de Janeiro! This body wash smells great, is SO hydrating and is clean - no parabens or sulfates. Most of the products this brand makes are honestly 10/10!
33.1 oz Brazilian Play Body Wash - Sol de Janeiro | Ulta Beauty
I unforauntely suffer from KP on the back of my arms and it is a huge insecurity for me. This scrub works wonders to combat it!! It has 10% AHA working to help smooth, scrub away dead skin, unclog pores and allow lotions to sit better. For someone wh...
Original KP Bump Eraser Body Scrub with 10% AHA - First Aid Beauty | Ulta Beauty
Tree Hut has probably 20+ scents of their body scrubs, but I always come back to this one! It smells SO amazing and the fragrance still lingers on your skin after you are dry and dressed. Ingredients are clean and its cruelty free, what is not to lov...
Coco Colada Shea Sugar Scrub - Tree Hut | Ulta Beauty
