This is a great hydrating toner that is perfect for dry skin.
Hydrating Milky Toner
These drops are filled with hydration boosting ingredients that have been a great addition to my skincare routine. They have a light texture that melts into my skin.
Holy Hydration! Thirst Burst Drops Brightening Serum
I have the worst dark circles and found this color corrector helps me disguise them underneath my makeup! I have both the pink tinted shade and the peach and use them together daily. They are so creamy and really help brighten my under eye area.
Under Eye Brightener
A great palette of brown shades with both matte and shimmery shades.
Going Coconuts - Nude Eyeshadow Palette
The best creamy blush I have tried! It is highly pigmented but blends seamlessly.
Shop Blush | Cream, Liquid & Powder Cheek Color
Love this tinted moisturizer for days when I want a lighter makeup look but need a bit of coverage.
Bare Focus Tinted Hydrator Tinted Skin Veil
I finally found an affordable lip stain liner that I love. This Wet n Wild lipliner stain will give you lasting color all day and looks great under a gloss.
Perfect Pout Lip Liner Stain
Love this creamy bronzer! Elf’s Camo Liquid Bronzer is very pigmented but blends in well. I buy a lighter shade in the winter and a darker shade when I have a tan. Love these!
Camo Liquid Bronzer & Contour
Love this lactic acid from The Ordinary! My skin literally glows the next morning after I use it! No issues with burning or peeling with this product for my skin.
Lactic Acid 10% + HA: High-Strength Exfoliator for Dry Skin
These smell just as good as those higher priced body sprays! Love No. 2 the best out of the ones I have tried.
Fragrance Mists
I hate wearing sunblock but know that I need to! Elf’s Whoa Glow Spf is a product I don’t mind putting in my face each day. It gives me a beautiful glow and is a great primer for my makeup as well.
Suntouchable Whoa Glow Makeup Primer with SPF 30
This is free of dyes and fragrances and so many other ingredients that often cause allergic reactions. It also locks in moisture and doesn’t clog pores or cause breakouts.
Daily Facial Moisturizer with Hyaluronic Acid and Ceramides - VANICREAM
If you have seriously dry skin and want a product that feels luxurious on your skin- this is it. This one is on auto-ship!
Age Perfect Cell Renewal Midnight Cream - L'Oréal
If you want the glowiest skin ever this will deliver!
100 Cool Lumi Le Glow Skin Tint - L'Oréal
These come in the best shades and glide right on! They have great staying-power too.
Line Leader Lifter Liner Lip Liner with Hyaluronic Acid - Maybelline
The best mascara. None of the others come close to this and I have tried them all- from high- end to other trending drug store brands.
Blackest Black Telescopic Original Washable Mascara - L'Oréal
The best retinol product I have tried without a prescription. It has not irritated my skin at all and is definitely helping the texture look smoother!
Rapid Wrinkle Repair Retinol Pro+ Night Moisturizer - Neutrogena
This is my go-to foundation for giving me a more done up look that still looks flawless on my over 40 dry skin.
10 Ivory Age Perfect Radiant Serum Foundation - L'Oréal
I have used this on my body- and on my face during the winter! It really makes the skin on my chest look smoother.
Age Renew Crepe Corrector Body Lotion
These feel amazing on your lips and make them look super glossy. I love the Caramel Glow.
Lifter Glaze Lip Balm
This smells extremely similar to another viral product with the same notes of pistachio and salted caramel but costs only $1.25! I throw this one in my gym bag and teacher bag.
Power Stick Brazilian Mist Body Spray for Her, 3.5 oz.
Love this liquid eyeliner! Makes a precise line and doesn’t come off with my watery, allergy eyes. I see it often compared to higher end products. I love the brown shades for my eyes.
NYX Professional Makeup Epic Ink Waterproof Liquid Eyeliner
I love this dry shampoo and it is always a great price! It absorbs oil and works well even with my dark hair.
Not Your Mother's - 7.0 oz Plump for Joy Body Building Dry Shampoo
This deep conditioning mask leaves my hair so soft and comes at a great price too! Love all of Loreal’s hair products!
Elvive Total Repair 5 Damage-Erasing Balm - L'Oréal
I love these glosses! They are a great price and deliver great shine. I feel like they last a decent amount of time for a gloss.
Chillin Like a Villian Fat Oil Lip Drip Vegan Lip Oil - NYX Professional Makeup
The best concealer brush! I always used my fingers before and a good brush definitely makes the difference under my eyes.
BK BEAUTY BRUSHES - ANGIE HOT & FLASHY A506 CONCEALER - Viral "Kitten Paw" Face Brush - Under-Eye Concealing and Contouring - Makeup Brushes C42
I have tried so many setting sprays and honestly thought they just weren’t for me until I found the one by Milani. Works so well to help my makeup last and gives a great finish.
