lightweight, buildable, and natural looking! my fav concealer that i will buy over and over again! (well, like twice a year, because it lasts forever too!)
Liquid Touch Brightening Concealer
wasn’t sure how I’d like liquid blush when i first tried it, now it’s my absolute fav! beware this is super pigmented so you only need a little!!!
Rare Beauty by Selena Gomez Soft Pinch Liquid Blush
fav tinted moisturizer for years!!! good coverage, spf, and best of all??? It’s less than $15!!!!!
MISSHA M Perfect Cover BB Cream No.13 SPF42

my ride or die hair styling assist — so light you don’t know it’s there, smooths hair & makes it easier to brush, protects from heat up to 450°F, and it makes your hair dry faster!!! holy grail budget hair find for sure! ♡
Style Assist Blow Dry Mist for Straight, Wavy + Curly Hair - 5 fl oz
i was skeptical about this dryer at first, but i use it constantly and love it! favorite thing is that while it’s a styler (and a quick one at that!), it also works as a regular hair dryer when i’m in an extra hurry!
Build your own Shark FlexStyle® Air Styling & Drying System-Stone
✨ skincare ✨
as someone who burns easily but hates the feel of sunscreen (i’ve gone through so many…), this is the ONLY moisturizer/sunscreen combo i’ve found that i not only don’t mind wearing everyday, i actually like putting it on!! daily essential for sure ♡
Moisturizing Gel-Cream SPF 30
feels so good on the skin after a long day!!
Hydrating Milky Toner
an affordable AND effective retinol product!! a difficult combo to come by in my experience, my skin has never felt or looked better since i started using it! (and as a person with scarring from cystic acne, that says a lot!)
Retinol for Sensitive Skin | Advanced Retinol Gel 0.5%
nothing fancy — it just *works*
my nighttime non-negotiable!
