Face Lotion - Sweat Absorbing
Okay I’m not sure HOW these work, and I’m not advocating doing it everyday but I sweat a lot and in New York I need help for times that matter. So ahead of big events like weddings or big parties I use these under my boobs and down my back (not sexy ...
SweatBlock Clinical Strength Antiperspirant Wipes
Okay so this is an exception because the product smells sexy! It smells like holiday and I’m addicted! It will make your legs feel smoother than anything, it’s just the act of shaving which isn’t that sexy!
Bare Tropic Glow Moisturizing Shave Oil
Anyone else have two patches of premature grey hairs at their temples? Just me? Great. Well between root dyes, I use this for a quick cover up! Just don’t jump in a pool or go in the rain without an umbrella…I learned the hard way.
L'Oreal Paris Root Cover Up Gray Concealer Spray
Witch hazel toner is something I use but not on my face. Apply to a cotton pad and use downstairs…if you catch my drift… outside not inside and let it dry fully. It stops any smell or sweat should you need that! No judgement here.
Original Witch Hazel Facial Toner - 12 oz.
Sorry this isn’t a list that will hype any kind of natural deodorant. It is clear from this list that I’m a sweaty gal. This is a fail safe and unscented! Clear as well so no stains on your clothes!

Effaclar Duo | Acne Spot Treatment

My brows are dark but a little bit of color makes them pop so that I don’t have to add anything to them. To do that, I use this. It takes all of 5 mins to do it and honestly makes so much of a difference.

Spray it in those shoes, spray those socks and feet down. Use it. You won’t regret it.

If your hair is looking dull and frazzled… don’t turn to dye unless you need it! If you need a little gloss and shine, this is the answer!
Elvive 8 Second Wonder Water Lamellar Hair Treatment - L'Oréal Paris
This is my go-to body butter throughout the year to keep it soft and supple!
Nivea Cocoa Body Butter
I hate that it works. Because when I stop taking it I notice. And who wants to take 3 pills a day? But it works, my hair grows longer and thicker than ever, my nails grow fast and strong and my face doesn’t freak out.
Wellbel Women | Physician-Formulated Vegan Hair Growth Supplement
These are a must but not just for my feet! If you are my dermatologist don’t read this. I use these for massive cystic pimples. It’s a massive spot sticker, slap it on over night and it will draw that sucker to the surface which cuts its time in half...

These are the GOAT, I don’t want to know if they aren’t good for you. All I know is that they make your eyes brighter and whiter which makes you look healthier and more awake.
