Clean Skincare Essentials
Gentle, effective, and powered by plants — these products helped me build a skincare routine that’s both ethical and skin-loving.
This antioxidant-rich cleanser makes my skin feel fresh, clean, and never stripped. It’s packed with leafy greens like kale and spinach — basically a green juice for your face.

This luxurious oil gives me that dewy, healthy-glow finish. It smells amazing and absorbs beautifully into the skin.

When my skin feels dry or stressed, this oil revives it overnight. Full of CoQ10, rosehip, and neroli — it feels like skincare therapy.

Masks & Treatments
For when my skin needs a little reset or deep restoration.

This minty green clay mask helps clear out my pores and leaves my skin feeling extra clean but never dry.

A cult-favorite that I completely understand now. It unclogs pores, smooths texture, and helps prevent breakouts.

This hypochlorous acid mist is a skin-saver for calming redness and irritation — perfect for post-breakout recovery.
SOS Daily Rescue Facial Spray with Hypochlorous Acid🍀
Makeup Must-Haves
Vegan makeup that actually performs — with clean ingredients and bold results.
Gorgeous warm tones, beautiful shimmer, and zero fallout. It’s my go-to for natural daytime glam.

Lightweight yet buildable, this foundation gives me a natural, dewy finish without caking or creasing.
Alight Makeup: Foundation, BB Cream & More - Pacifica🍀
This is skincare and makeup in one. It evens out my skin tone, protects with SPF, and feels like I’m wearing nothing.
Super Serum Skin Tint SPF 40🍀
Brightens, conceals, and feels creamy without being heavy. I use this every single day for under-eyes and spots.
Revealer Concealer🍀
Great coverage and hydration for a drugstore price. Doesn’t cake or crease — even on dry skin days.
e.l.f. Hydrating Camo Concealer🍀
Insanely pigmented, so a little goes a long way. I love the natural flush it gives me, especially the dewy shades.

Perfect for quick, effortless makeup. The creamy texture blends beautifully on both lips and cheeks.

Locks my makeup in place for hours. Feels weightless, not tacky — I don’t go to events without it.
