the products that have helped perfect my pout.
Ride or die, holy grail, forever favorite- all of the things. One of my favorite skincare/beauty items EVER. It is harder than it should be to find a lip balm that ACTUALLY hydrates your lips, feels good on your skin, is a pretty color, and makes you...

Eyes
for a girl that is always running on less than 6 hours of sleep- these products make it look like I got a full 9.
First eye cream that really did wake me up. I have tried so many brightening creams- high end and more affordable and this is the one I will keep repurchasing forever. It ACTUALLY is so hydrating, doesn't not peel, looks dewy and hydrated under my ey...
Revitalizing Eye Cream - cocokind | Ulta Beauty
Seriously underrated eye patches- again, another product I have tried SO many versions of. They either don't make me look any more awake or rejuvenated, are slippery and just rolling down my face, or have a weird texture to the patch. I love these be...
Mighty Patch for Tired Eyes Patches - Hero Cosmetics | Ulta Beauty
Facial Hydration & Complexion
The best of the best in keeping my skin hydrated, dewy, and smoothing out my complexion
I had a facial exfoliant that I absolutely loved, but it was a high-end brand and when I needed to cut down expenses, I was afraid I would get stuck with another cheap exfoliant that broke me out. Aveeno really never misses- I am OBSESSED with this f...

1
I love love LOVE this moisturizer- it is super rich and hydrating, and because of that, one drop will go a long way and you can feel it hydrating your skin when you rub it onto your face. This is made with the same ingredients you'll find in so many ...
3.3 oz Lightweight Daily Moisturizer - Good Molecules | Ulta Beauty
This is my ride or die hyaluronic acid serum- it is so satisfying to add into my routine because it is thick and easy to really rub and pat into the skin. So affordable and AMAZING for protecting your skin barrier.
Hydrating Serum 1.0 oz Hyaluronic Acid 2% + B5 Hydrating Serum with Ceramides - The Ordinary | Ulta Beauty

I use toner everyday, and I was in the market for one that was made with clean ingredients but also would align with my budget, and this is it! It's super hydrating, and a little drop goes a long way. Because it's thicker too, you can see it really s...
Cosmic Silk Hydrating Milky Toner - Bubble | Ulta Beauty
super clean and hydrating product that goes a long way. I don't like to spend too much on masks, but I also have had many not react too well on my skin before, but I love this one. I live in Chicago so during the colder months my skin that's already ...
2.5 oz Drink Up Intensive Overnight Hydrating Mask - Origins | Ulta Beauty
Triple threat- Olehenriksen is one of my favorite skincare brands, and if you are wanting to try out their products, this is a really amazing deal. Their products are the real deal and super hydrating with clean ingredients and you can feel it. I lov...
Glow Even Brighter Set - OLEHENRIKSEN | Ulta Beauty
I would typically never spend nearly $40 on a makeup removing balm, but for this I make an exception every single time. This stuff is honestly magic, and aside from being a makeup remover that actually gets off every stubborn bit of mascara, my skin ...
Original Green Clean Cleansing Balm - FARMACY | Ulta Beauty
Little goes a long way- I know this is on the pricer side (for the large) but I always go with the 0.4z because a little of this goes a long way. You only need to sprinkle a bit and the water emulsifies it so that you have enough to cover your entire...
0.45 oz Daily Milkfoliant Exfoliator - Dermalogica | Ulta Beauty
This is what I wear when I don't feel like putting on any makeup. It is a really nice balm that doesn't make you look oily, just dewy, and almost makes me look like I just had some amazing facial. Keeps me hydrated and glowing but also helps to targe...
PDRN Essence Stick Balm - VT Cosmetics | Ulta Beauty
Blemishes/Redness
For the girls struggling with redness, texture and breakouts.
pore patches are an item I didn't expect to cause me so much trouble. I have tried countless brands, and I find that the ones I like have either really gone up in price, or the cheaper ones I've tried simply do not extract anything, even when leaving...
Nose Pore Patches - Peach Slices | Ulta Beauty
I owe this spray my life!I have always struggled with redness and maintaining an even complexion, and once I got an IUD inserted this year, my skin went from never breaking out to having blemishes pop up constantly. I was trying anything and everythi...
4.0 oz Fix All Recovery Spray - Peach Slices | Ulta Beauty
I love Good Molecules so I was so excited when I saw they were coming out with an azelaic acid treatment since I struggle with redness so much. It's amazing to me their products are such an insane price point for the quality you are getting. I starte...
10% Azelaic Acid Treatment - Good Molecules | Ulta Beauty
I'll admit, at one point I thought this was a silly product, and just seemed like a waste of money when I use my own clean towels for washing my face. When my skin started breaking out from my hormonal flucuations after getting an IUD, I was desperat...

Anti-Aging
What I would describe as botox in a bottle- the products that I have been using for 6 years that have kept me frozen in time
The product I have been most tempted to gatekeep… I have been using this for over 6 years now, and I swear it is why people are consistently telling me they refuse to believe I am over 25 (I'm 32). I do take good care of my skin, yes, but I wanted to...
Argireline Solution 10% for Reducing Fine Lines - The Ordinary | Ulta Beauty
retinol eye creams for anti-aging specifically are a type of eye cream I have struggled to find that does what it claims to do. This was what I thought would be another attempt and waste of money, and I. was. wrong. I love this stuff so much, it real...
0.5 oz Retinol Line Smoothing Anti Wrinkle for Dark Circles Eye Cream - RoC | Ulta Beauty
A magic lip wand- I use this more as my actual skincare routine than just a lip balm, though it has a pretty glow to it and gives your lips a little pinky plump if you do use it more for beauty. I put this on in the morning and at night in my routine...
