Makeup Must Packs
10 minute makeup routine essentials
The ultimate holy grail concealer! Dark spots or under eye circles? Invisible!
Radiant Creamy Concealer
A great full coverage option. With the proper primer this won’t budge for 10+ hours.
HD SKIN Long-Lasting Waterproof Natural Matte Foundation
A drugstore mascara that can keep up with even the highest in finds for a fraction of the cost.
Voluminous Original Washable Mascara - L'Oréal Paris
Excellent dupe for NARS Orgasm but for a fraction of the cost. I love the pigmentation.
Baked Blush
An absolute must for locking in the under eye concealer
Translucent Loose Setting Powder
Perfect dupe for Dior lip oil
Glow Reviver Tinted Lip Oil
Great if you’re looking to splurge on a lip oil that won’t budge and leaves your lips looking and feeling like a dream
DIOR Addict Lip Glow Oil Color-Awakening Gloss | Dior US
The slight gold shimmer in the pencil just adds to the soft brown color. Perfect for when you want a liner without the extreme feeling of a black. Plus Meghan Markle once said she loved it.
Eye Kohl | Matte Eye Pencil
14 years. I’ve used some formulation of this for 14 years. If it’s not broken then why fix it? A few spritzes of this after applying my makeup and it DOES NOT BUDGE for 13+ hours. A must for my longer international flights for sure.
All Nighter Waterproof Makeup Setting Spray
The perfect Beauty Blender dupe. For less than $10 for a pack this is my go to makeup sponge for concealer and liquid foundation.

Late 20s, early 30s? Here’s your skincare must haves.
I have used this for years! Removes dirt and grime PLUS even the most stubborn waterproof mascara. I love that I don’t need a wipe other product to remove makeup.
Fresh Foaming Facial Cleanser & Makeup Remover
Fine lines and dark circles? A tiny dab of this under your eyes and you’ll wake looking like a new (much less tired) person.
RETINOL CORREXION® Line Smoothing Eye Cream
Entering my 30s, I became very aware of my neck. Specifically the lines and wrinkles from staring down at my phone. Apply this at night to your neck and chest area and you’ll see significant reduction in those lines. If you’re a woman who sleeps on y...
DERM CORREXION® Firming Serum Stick
I use the SPF during the day occasionally but the non SPF every night. Dabbing this on my face while applying my Tretinoin has been a game changer to avoid excessive dryness or irritation.
Cicaplast Balm B5 for Dry Skin Irritations
There’s a reason people swear by this. Don’t want Botox but also don’t want wrinkles? Do yourself a favor and get a prescription for Retin-A (tretinoin). It will take a while to build up your tolerance, but when used correctly you will be BLOWN AWAY ...
Retin-A Tretinoin Cream Prescription
Recommended by my dermatologist for breakouts on my face (and sometimes back) this drugstore find is only $10 and has worked miracles on my occasional blemishes. Nobody wants to talk about back acne but, it happens, and this is your way out.
PanOxyl Acne Foaming Wash Benzoyl Peroxide 10%
This was an impulse buy in the Paris duty free store, and I’ve since repurchased three times. A little pricey but the luxe smell, and feel it gives my skin makes it a nice treat. I love this on top of my makeup to freshen up or even after I’ve exfoli...
Beauty Elixir Prep, Set, Glow Face Mist - Caudalie
Life isn’t perfect, but your hair can be.
Here’s what takes my hair from coarse and curly to sleek and straight
This duo leaves my scalp feeling tingly and fresh. I typically wash my hair every 4-6 days and the smell of tea tree and mint are a treat every time. It gives my hair a noticeable shine and just a bit more volume.
Divi Volumizing Shampoo & Conditioner | Volumize Fine, Thin Hair
Hair loss has affected many of us the last few years, and this with the Divi shampoo has helped tremendously. Slowly but surely I’ve noticed new hair growth. The refreshing mint smell leaves your scalp feeling so clean and tingly.
Divi 30ml Hair & Scalp Serum | Clinically Tested | Thicker-Looking Hair
With such extremely coarse and curly hair (that I exclusively wear straight), a Brazilian Blowout is my secret weapon. This spray was suggested by my stylist and was key to staying 100% frizz free on my wedding day at the beach. It also adds a shine ...
Brazilian Blowout Bonding Spray
This is the ONLY styling tool brand I use. My first straightener lasted 8 years, with DAILY use before it began to flicker on and off. I went to ULTA the very same day to buy another. I’ve tried Paul Mitchell, CHI, and Dyson, and this takes the cake.
