Perfect for the fall. When the weather is hot outside and classrooms are cold or vice versa, this jacket lets me be prepared for all temperatures. Very soft and goes with almost all outfits.

Absolutely love these shoes! Had them for more than 4 years (last pic) and I can’t find it in my heart to throw them away. Comfortable for everyday wear and very cute. They’re unique without being flashy and they’ve gotten a ton of praise from others...

Ever since I found out what skincare was, I’ve been using this lotion. It’s very lightweight but still super moisturizing. Good amount of product in one bottle too.

My favorite toner. I love the smell and it works amazing on my acne scars. The only downside is I have gone through so many cotton pads BUT I figured out a way around this. A small spray bottle that I fill with the toner. Works great!

I’ve been using this for a while now and it’s very soft on my skin. Does the job well without irritating my skin.

Favorite makeup remover. The rose water smells amazing on my skin. Don’t recommend this but whenever I’m tired to do my whole skincare routine, I just use this and call it a day and it works!

My go-to product. One tube lasted me 2 years and I used it everyday. Lasts all day with no need to retouch. I would go to classes, the gym and the library before heading back to my dorm and this concealer would not budge.

Just got it recently but has quickly become a favorite. It’s moisturizing and definitely shiny. Can fit into any purse or pocket. Long-lasting and the color is perfect. I have the shade #11 In A Mood

I got this blush three years ago and I’ve used it almost everyday and I still haven’t finished it! Granted I use very little each time but honestly the pigment is just that good. Very affordable too!

Love this mascara and love Maybelline. Lasts all day and is definitely waterproof. The amount of times I’ve cried but my eyelashes still looked amazing after should be illegal. Easy to remove with some micellar water though.

Perfect mix of pinks and neutrals. Really good quality and ties together my makeup. Turns my everyday look to something a little more fancy.

I absolutely love Apple products. Having the Apple ecosystem saves me so much time when it comes to downloading and uploading assignments, screenshots, etc. The MacBook Pro specifically works so well for all the apps I need for my computer science cl...

Headphones are a must! Listening to music on the way to class or watching lectures videos or joining a zoom call. I’m not a fan of over the head headphones so these are perfect. Have had them for 5 years and they still work amazing. Even put it throu...
