SKINCARE
I am not the type of person who does my skincare every day/night so I truly SWEAR by these. Whenever I use them they help a TON.
This has become my absolute go-to moisturizer
I’m a huge fan of both this and the HA version. It has a slightly tacky finish that actually works perfectly as a primer before makeup. Even without makeup, it feels incredible on the skin. While it’s not...
Natural Moisturizing Factors + PhytoCeramides
I like my makeup to look like skin, not product. I’m usually just a moisturizer-and-go kind of person, but this BB cream is great when I want a tiny bit more coverage while keeping it feeling fresh and breathable.
My lashes are naturally very straight, which usually makes them hard to hold a curl. This is the only mascara I’ve found that actually keeps them lifted. A Christmas gift that’s definitely earned a permanent spot in my routine.
Better Than Sex Volumizing Mascara - Too Faced | Ulta
The secret to my lash routine. You need a good curler to get the base right before the mascara, and this one does exactly that every time.
Lash Curler for Natural Curl - Revlon | Ulta Beauty
This is the final step in my lash routine. After curling and applying my mascara, I use this to comb through and separate everything. It really helps prevent that clumpy look and gives them a much cleaner, more defined finish.
Pro Lash Separator - Babe Original | Ulta Beauty
EYES
Since I’m usually just at college during the day, I don’t need anything too dramatic. This liner is perfect because it’s super easy to apply, stays put through all my classes, and gives me just the right amount of definition without being too much.
Black Epic Ink Waterproof Liquid Eyeliner - NYX Professional Makeup | Ulta Beauty
My go-to palette when I want something earthy and natural. I love how these shades look with my brown eyes. Usually, I’ll just blend two of them together, add a little liner and mascara, and I’m good to go. It’s the perfect, effortless look for daily...
Extremely pigmented — you barely need a drop. It’s definitely on the pricier side, so I treat this as my 'special occasion' blush, but it's worth it for the blendability alone.
Soft Pinch Liquid Blush
My daily go-to. I don’t need a ton of product since I’m mostly just at college, and this is perfect — super blendable and really affordable.
Wet n Wild Color Icon Blush, Pinch Me Pink

some of my favorite products
Boyfriend gifted me this perfume a while ago, I am saving it as much as I can because I am sad to see it go.
Roberto Cavalli Paradiso Eau De Parfum, 2.5 Fl Oz
My go-to for special occasions. It’s a bit of an investment, but it’s my absolute favorite — partly because it reminds me of my mom, who wears it all the time. It's sophisticated, sweet, and always gets compliments.
