Skincare

Tiktok was right about these! They are the perfect exfoliatant for those with larger/clogged pores and you can't beat the price. I use them twice a week after my cleanser.

Medicube Zero Pore Pads 2.0 Facial Toner

Another great medicube product. It leaves my skin feeling hydrated and soft. I use it once daily and have notices a brighter, more even complexion

Medicube Deep Vitamin C Golden Capsule Moisturizer

I used to use these FAITHFULLY and only stopped because the price point is so steep. If you don'y mind the splurge they are a great chemical exfoliant. The two step process gives almost instant results, leaving the skin brightened and smooth.

Dr. Dennis Gross Daily Peel Pads

This is the only moisturizer I have found that works for my dry, thirsty skin. I have try so may others and always find my way back to this one. It is expensive but, in my opinion, worth the price.

The Dewy Skin Cream Replenishing and Plumping Moisturizer

This soap has truly helped my hyperpigmentation and dark marks. As a melanated girl, so many products just don't work for my skin but this one definitely does. I put it on at the beginning of my shower and let it sit until I am done.

Bellurelle: the g.o.a.t bar

Make-up

Keeps my lips moisturized for HOURS.

Lip Care Essentials

The skin tint is so lightweight while still provide a sheer coverage. It is perfect for those no make up days or those (like me) who don't like to wear foundation. I'm in the shade Hazelnut Butta

Buttermelt Glaze Soft Glow Skin Tint SPF 30

Hair (straight and curly naturals)

As a girl with color treated curls, this masque provides the perfect balance of protein and moisture.

Texture ID Overnight Treatment

I LOVE this product. I mostly use it when I silk press my hair but if can also be used for everyday blowouts. It makes my blow dry so much easier, is a heat protectant and smells amazing!

Blow-Dry Spray

I attribute the fact that, after 4 years of coloring, my hair has not completely fallen out to this product. It always instantly makes my hair feel stronger and more elastic. Ther is a noticiable difference if it is not in my wash day routine.

Nº.3 Hair Perfector

One of my favorite products for my dry, frizzy curls. It smells great and actually penetrates my hair instead of just sitting on top of it.

Miracle RepaiRx Protective Leave in Conditioner

No other edge control actually hold my edges for any significant amount of time except this one. I slick my edges, put on a scarf for 5-10 minutes and my edges stay in place for the entire day (and sometimes the next one too)

Strong Hold- Thick Edges - Edge Control

I have been using this product for years to achieve my signature red hair. It does exactly what it says and lifts dark hair so well. You get the high color lift, without the same damaging effects of bleach.

Excellence HiColor Permanent Crème Hair Color by L'Oreal

I am SO sad they discontinued this shampoo because I JUST discovered it. As a colored hair girl… it’s literally one of the best shampoos I’ve ever used. Not to mention the scent last FOREVER on my hair. I hope to find it at a Ross or something.

Amika Vault Color Lock Color Safe Shampoo

I hate how expensive this is because it is soooo good. I am a braidsaholic and no other product has kept my hair as healthy and moisturized as this even after a 4+ week braid install. I apply it before I blow dry and then dry as normal.

Shop Acidic Bonding Concentrate Hair Care Products

Body care

My favorite body care products for soft and even skin.

One of my FAVORITE fall body washes. It's warm and gourmand, with notes of toffee and almost a caramel frappe vibe. It's worth every penny

Sticky Dates

This body wash is not only affordable but works wonders for getting rid of body acne and texture. I saw a noticeable difference within the first month of use. You also get so much product for the price.

The Perfector Salicylic Acid Body Wash

This product works great for exfoliating areas such as legs, underarms, and other problem areas. It doesn't necessarily get rid of KP but it does help to even, soften, and help prevent ingrown hairs. It is VERY important to pair it with a great moist...

KP Body Scrub & Mask With AHA, BHA, & PHA

I use this directly after the shower, while still damp, before I apply and other lotions or body oils. It works great for locking in moisture and is the main product I use after using the KP body scrub mentioned in this section also.

Body Oils

As a DIY girlie, this is some of the best wax I've tried when it comes to waxing my bikini area, arms, and legs at home. It is affordable and great at picking up all the hairs.

Bikini Star - Special Wax Beads for Bikini & Brazilian Area

I was HUNTING for a body butter that paired well with sticky dates by Lush and this is the perfect match. It has such similar notes and the layering is top notch. Not only does it smell great but it is also moisturizing. My ONLY complaint is the last...

Fenty Salted Caramel Body Butter
