when it comes to perfumes, i am SUPER sensitive & picky bc a lot of popular perfumes that smell amazing on other people smell the terrible version of musky on me. i also tend towards not overly sweet so if you like a balance of fresh/floral/woody you're going to prob love the ones i love <3
vanilla, honey, subtle nutty notes…wear when you want to smell delicious
SOL DE JANEIRO Cheirosa 62
tropical and fruity without being overpowering? literally the perfect summer scent, smells like a day at the beach
Brazilian Crush Cheirosa 68 Beija Flor Perfume Mist
one of my fav perfumes ever. matcha top notes with some floral and musk
THÉ MATCHA 26 | Le Labo Fragrances
fruity, flowery, woodsy…this scent is seriously addicting and it lasts SO long
Amber Haze Body & Hair Mist - Phlur
i can't even really describe this scent but it's almost powdery floral top notes with woodsy base notes? IDK but I'm truly obsessed every time i get a whiff when i'm wearing it. you can build your own sample kit for $40 and then you get a $40 discoun...
Radio Bombay - D.S. & DURGA
cult fav for a reason. i think this is pretty unisex and smells slightly different on everyone, but every time i put it on i can't stop smelling myself
SANTAL 33 - Le Labo Fragrances
i'm gonna de-influence you on this one bc i really did not like it. it's okay once it sits on your skin, but has an overwhelming alcohol smell or something artificial immediately when you spray it? idk but i'm not a fan. must like very very sweet sce...
Heavy Cream Body & Hair Mist - Phlur
makeup
disclaimer that when it comes to foundations that everyone's skin is different! i personally have mostly combination dry skin on my face so the foundations i love tend to be more hydrating an oilier-skin girls might not love
creamy, easy to blend, great colors. i'm blush-obsessed and this stuff is my go-to literally every day, i also feel like it makes my skin like, glow
Blush Stix | ColourPop
the waterproof gel eyeliners are SO good. i only use pencil liner on my waterline (white or peach on the lower, brown on the upper) and this actually stays put
Eyeliner | ColourPop
i will only use liquid liner that has a brush applicator (i hate the tapered foam ones i just cant get the wing right) and this stuff is so affordable and lasts SO long
Super Precise Eyeliner - Essence
another go-to affordable liquid liner that stays on SO well and also has a brush applicator
Epic Wear Long Lasting Liquid Eyeliner - NYX Professional Makeup
this is kindddd of a dupe for the benetint and SO much cheaper. i think it's like $5. you only need a tiny bit and just blend it out for a beautiful color that stays all day
Water Lip Stain
i'm so picky about concealer bc if the consistency is wrong it just looks AWFUL. this stuff is very pigmented so you only need a tiny bit for full coverage, it blends out really well, and if i use a blender i literally don't even need powder and it w...
Hydrating Camo Concealer - e.l.f. Cosmetics
i LOVE the elf brow lift but it's kind of a pain if i'm on the go. this stuff isn't as sticky as the brow lift but it still holds pretty much all day and it's so much easier to just toss this little tube in your makeup bag.
Brow Lift Laminating Gel - ULTA Beauty Collection
i've read some reviews of people who don't like this, but i love it! it gives a slight bronzy glow and kind of doubles as a makeup primer (it's not going to be a super sticky primer, but i do notice my foundation goes on smoother). also i am super ac...
Suntouchable Whoa Glow Broad Spectrum SPF 30 Sunscreen
this is more light/sheer coverage but buildable - i have some hyperpigmentation from acne scarring and this is perfect for everyday use when i don't want something heavy! a little pricey but it's so worth it, and their color-match quiz is amazingly a...
Woke Up Like This: Foundation Makeup - IL MAKIAGE
okay i've tried probably 100+ mascaras in my lifetime (high-end and drugstore) and this has been my all-time fav since it came out when i was in hs. the non-waterproof never crumbles or smudges and like is even tear-proof as long as you're not bawlin...
The Falsies Flared Mascara | Ulta
if you're looking for a do-it-all foundation that is medium+ coverage, this is great. never clogs my pores, large selection of colors, blends easily with brush/blender/even fingers, and buildable but i find even with a very small amount it offers eno...
Beyond Perfecting™ Liquid Foundation + Concealer - Clinique
full disclosure i only use this under my eyes most days bc i don't love a matte look on the rest of my face, but it sets concealer for the whole day with no creasing
KVD Beauty - Lock-It Setting Powder
