Skincare
AM: Rinse with water, vitamin C, SPF
PM: Oil cleanser (remove with damp washcloth), exfoliator OR Rx retinol, moisturizer
Perfect for the AM routine since it turns two steps into one: vitamin C with moisturizer. I like this whole line but this is the standout for me.
Major Fade Active Seal Dark Spot Vitamin C Gel Moisturizer
So good my Mom asked if they have a version without SPF lol. Holy grail
EltaMD UV Clear Broad-Spectrum SPF 46 - Tinted
Best of the best. I’ve tried everything from Burt’s Bees to Ole Henrickson to Summer Fridays to Westman Atelier, you name it. This is the most economical lip balm at its quality level.
Softwear lip balm - Experiment Beauty
I’m really picky about the sensation of oils on the skin and this paired with a damp washcloth are perfection. Apply on dry skin!
EltaMD Oil-in-Gel Cleanser
Can’t stress enough the efficacy of a pared-down skincare routine. This is THE exfoliator for that routine. Worth the hype
Alpha Beta Extra Strength Daily Peel Pads
Haircare
I’ve got medium thin hair that gets oily pretty quickly
Worth the hype, unforch. Especially because I’ve recently forgone using conditioner as it’s too heavy - this is a must.
Nutritive 8H Magic Night Hair Serum
Expensive for a hair brush but incomparable to other hairbrushes given its price point.
Although I have yet to try Mason Pearson so jury is still out.
The Brush | 3-IN-1 Multi-Purpose Tool
Do NOT buy this full price. I hate that it even makes it to this list BUT it doesn’t damage my hair and isn’t finicky to use.
The Hair Towel
Makeup
Letterboxed top 4 makeup edition: Foundation, blush, lash clusters, lip liner
Idk what they put in this but it is the BEST product to go under foundation. The only product that I notice when I forget to apply it.
Forever Glow Star Filter Multi-Use Complexion Enhancing Booster
Big believer that tools matter more than specific products. This and the F1 are the only two brushes needed for the face. I promise.
F4 Dual-Ended Foundation and Face Brush
Big believer that tools matter more than specific products. This and the F4 are the only two brushes needed for the face. I promise.
MAKEUP BY MARIO F1 Dual-Ended Contour and Blush Brush
You might think this is silly but a sharpened lip liner is so so necessary for a defined lip.
This is THE sharpener to end all sharpeners.
(I’ve tried NARS, Benefit and everything at the drugstore)
Glossier Lip Liner Sharpener
A red tone is the most universal blush shade possible + this formula is incredible = holy grail cheek
GLOSSY WATERMELON Color Fuse Longwear Hydrating Glassy Lip + Cheek Blush Balm Stick
I have tried a concerning number of lipliners. This color is an absolutely perfect pinky brown/browny pink.
I have other favs that satisfy the brown and pink categories individually.
PINK SAND Forget The Filler Definer Lip Liner
Body care
Simple but game-changing. Will never buy any other scrubber type product.
HANNI Shower Scarf
Fragrance
1 mist, 1 designer, and 1 niche
This scent is incredible point blank period. This is great for things like the gym or beach when I don’t want to use nicer perfumes or might be reapplying a lot.
St. Barts Hair & Body Mist
Extremely underrated. The pink is great for nighttime but this is THE spring fragrance. I wear it constantly regardless of season.
Donna Born In Roma Yellow Dream
