Face stuff 😁
It is a great serum for people with acne or acne prone skin. After cleansing your face use this light serum all over, let it dry, and then use moisturizer.
The Ordinary Niacinamide 10% + Zinc 1%
Really great hyaluronic acid that is super affordable. I forgot to buy it one week and I could tell a total difference in the hydration of my skin.
Hyaluronic Acid 2% + B5 (with Ceramides)
I love this cleanser for the morning routine. It’s gentle and creamy and just enough to get the drool off your face. Squalane helps keep you hydrated and protect the skins barrier
The Ordinary Squalane Cleanser
Use this a couple times a week. Especially when I start having a breakout. Helps with exfoliation keeping the breakout down to minimum.
AHA 30% + BHA 2% Peeling Solution
Great for after cleansing, to exfoliate the skin. Helps on the skins surface for radiant skin. Can be drying so start a couple times a week
Glycolic Acid 7% Exfoliating Toner
Amazing hydration and leaves skin feeling great. I have acne prone skin. When I was looking into products to help, I never thought adding oil to acne would help, but it does!!
Get Radiant Skin with Organic Cold-Pressed Rose Hip Seed Oil
I tried all types of facial wash for acne prone skin. This one has been the best for me and you can find it at your local pharmacy!!
Positively Radiant ® Clear Complexion Foaming Facial Cleanser Oil-Free
I have used lots of different eye lash serums. They would either irritate my eyes or would not work. I found this one to be the best. No irritation and my lashes are growing so well!
Babe lash Essential Lash Serum
Here is another serum that helps growing eye lashes or brows (see babe lash) but I like this one because if you don’t feel like wearing mascara you can use this instead and it lengthens and helps them grow!
Eyebrow & Eyelash Serum with 2% Pea Peptides + Castor Oil
After trying multiple eye patches while I drink my morning coffee, these have been the best. Paraben free, organic, vegan
Rejuvenating Under Eye Masks (18 Pairs)
Got a pimple! Dot this stuff on it overnight and watch it shrink! Do not mix. The pink is supposed to be on the bottom. I get painful zits and by the morning it feels so much better
Drying Lotion - On-The-Spot Solution for Blemishes
French pharmacy is all over the place. I needed to try it. So my aesthetician friend told me to try this retinol. A creamy/oily retinol. It goes on so smooth. Couple months in and it’s great! Only use it a few times a week and never when I am h...
A313 Vitamin A Pommade 200.000 UI
After a sweaty gym session to avoid more breakouts. I spray this on my face and I have noticed a huge difference! Good for sensitive skin, calms redness and vegan
BRIOTECH Hypochlorous Acid Skin Spray
This is in my pocketbook all the time, even in at least 2 shades. It is great to quickly touch up your cheeks and lips!
Color Stick: Blush, Highlighter, Bronzer, Contour Stick
Love Thrive products! Another product that is not cakey. Has good coverage without all the lines under your eyes. I struggle with dark under eyes and this works well!!
Buildable Blur™ HD Creaseless Concealer
I have uneven skin, and I hate using cakey foundation. This is a great blend with good coverage. Also has SPF in it so I don’t need to add that in my routine.
Buildable Blur™ CC Cream Broad Spectrum SPF 40
By far the best mascara I have ever used. My lashes are blonde so I need it. I get so many compliments on my lashes and it comes off so easy, helps with not ruining your lashes. I have purchased the color black for many years, but they recently ca...
Liquid Lash™ Extensions Tubing Mascara
Awesome eyeliner, stays on and doesn’t smudge…many colors
Infinity Waterproof Eyeliner
2 step under eye brightener. I thought it would be candy, but the powder is so light it’s not like that at all
Brilliant Eye Brightener™ Duo
Body stuff
This stuff is great for all the areas in which you sweat! Never I have to worry about being smelly! I particularly prefer the lotion! My favorite scent is peony rose.
Lume Deodorant
I have tried them ALL. Tons that make you look orange especially on your feet (still need to be careful here) add these drops to your favorite lotion, rub it in good, and that’s it! It’s a buildable application. Love it!
Self Tan Drops
Made my skin so soft after a week of using! Hyaluronic is not only good for your face it’s good for your whole body!!
Hyaluronic Acid Body Serum For Full-Body Hydration
Love this oil as a body lotion/moisturizer. Leaves skin feeling soft and shiny! I use it with the hyaluronic acid body serum.
Saltair Body Oil For Glowing Skin
This smells so good if you like lavender. I try my best to buy organic. But it’s not always in the price range. This is one that is always in my bathroom.
Nourishing Lavender
What a nice set! My skin feels so soft after using this.
Body Care
Hair stuff 💈
I have really thin hair and it always felt like my hair was missing a nice “shine” this stuff work awesome! Style and spray and your hair looks so healthy.
Antisocial Midnight Silk
Calling on the blondes….trying to find purple shampoo without all the crap is hard. No parabans in this one and it doesn’t make your shower look like a purple bomb went off.
Color Brightening Purple Shampoo
Conditioner is important. I leave it in right after I shampoo until it’s time to get out. I like this one…makes my hair very soft. No parabans.
Conditioner Collection

All of these body mists smell great! I get compliments all the time! The heavy cream is my absolute favorite
