Taking these on a deserted island.
Keeps my skin glowing and hydrated. I feel like it’s 8 serums in one too so while being pricey it lasts long and does the job of several products.
Estée Lauder Advanced Night Repair Serum Synchronized Multi-Recovery Complex
These are so fun to mix and apply. Your skin gets super duper dry but once you rinse off the mask your face feels renewed. I use this once a month on my face, neck, and chest.
SKIN1004 Zombie Pack 1 Box, 8ea, Hydrating
This has replaced my moisturizer. It’s so hydrating I don’t need to use a moisturizer underneath it. My absolute favorite sunscreen. No white cast which is brown girl friendly. And it’s affordable. I usually grab a few at a time.
Skin1004 Hyalu-Cica Sun Serum
Retinol hates me so this is what I use instead. I hate the dropper but it is sooo good that I don’t care. I’m on my third bottle.
EQQUALBERRY Bakuchiol Plumping Serum 30ml
I’ve been using this thing since 2020. I use it to zap pimples and to stimulate hair growth the most but it has many uses. I recommend using a gauze barrier and serum with this tool. Takes at-home facials to the next level.
NuDerma Skin Therapy Wand - 6 Neon & Argon Wands
I love using this instead of my guasha every other night. The warming feels so nice and the red light provides added benefits. I didn’t like the original Solawave but this one is perfect for my needs.
Solawave Red Light Therapy Device for Face & Body
I use this day and night and I have seen a significant difference in just a few weeks. It's one more step but Botox is expensive so it's worth it in my opinion. Argireline is said to reduce lines and wrinkles. I apply it to my forehead, smile lines, ...
The Ordinary Argireline Solution 10% Serum
I swear by this stuff. I spray it all over myself before I do my morning and nighttime skincare, after a workout, sometimes just to freshen myself up. It kills bacteria which also helps with odor. It soothes. It kind of smells like chlorine. Tower28 ...
BRIOTECH HOCl Skin Spray, Face & Body, 8oz 2 Pack
By now everyone has tried and reviewed these and they just work. My skin is not super sensitive but I only use these 2-3 nights a week. They helped me a lot with skin texture.
Medicube Zero Pore Pads 2.0, 70 Units
I wanted the lotion for me to be so special! I tried Naturium and Neccessaire, you name it! But nothing hydrates and glows and feels quite like this. It makes my skin feel firm and supple at the same time. It gives sunkissed somehow even in winter.
NIVEA Enriched Body Lotion for Dry Skin, 16.9oz, 2 Pack
I’ve got this a few times. It makes my face feel CLEAN without feeling dry. Also sometimes I only use it on my congested areas and use a different mask everywhere else. I’ve used it as a spot treatment to draw out impurities. A little goes a long way...
Caudalie Instant Detox Mask Pore Minimizing
I’ve gone through many bottles of this toner. It just feels so hydrating. I have a skincare fridge I keep it in and it’s like a cold glass of water for my face.
Hero Balancing Capsule Skin Toner 4.39oz
TikTok brought this product to me. At first I thought the price was insane but a tiny amount delivers such powerful results. I can't live without it.
Brightening Saffron Toner Essence for Dark Spots with Niacinamide
Makeup
If you prefer a lighter, natural hold without flaking and stickiness -- this is the one. I've tried a few and this is the only one that doesn't get all crusty. Kosas has great, clean ingredients. Best brow gel.
Air Brow Clear + Clean Lifting Treatment Eyebrow Gel with Lamination Effect
Gloss Bomb in Fuschia Flex is one of my favorite glosses and I’m not really a gloss girl. It is cute for every day but can be dressed up for night also (pair with Nightmoth by MAC).
Fenty Beauty by Rihanna Gloss Bomb Lip Gloss
Dries fast but it is so good. Work in sections. I don’t use concealer anymore just this.
Urban Decay Face Bond Waterproof Foundation
Haircare
I bleached my hair and this kept it alive!
Leave-In Molecular Repair Hair Mask
I use the entire line! Shampoo, conditioner, and mask. It is elite.
amika the kure strength repair shampoo
This did a number on the postpartum hair loss around my hairline. Truly magical.
Restoring Hair & Edge Drops - CÉCRED | Ulta Beauty
I didn't think this would stand out from all the other oils like Olaplex, Morroccan Oil, etc. But it's by far my favorite and that signature Cecred scent is the best.
Nourishing Hair Oil - CÉCRED | Ulta Beauty
Hair Removal
When a dancer recommended this on TikTok I knew I had to try. She didn’t disappoint. This thing gets you smooth! I have the Meridian clippers and this blows those out of the water.
Philips Norelco OneBlade Intimate QP1924/70
These are my all-time favorite disposable razors. I've tried men's and women's and nothing gets me as smooth as Billie. I know men that use these! One note is that these shouldn't sit in water or the border on the razor gets all mushy. But I feel lik...
Billie Women's Razor Kit + 4 Refills + Holder
During the pandemic I learned to wax myself. Great for before vacation if you’re not committed to doing it regularly.
KOTAMU Pink Digital Hair Removal Wax Kit
Fragrance
If you’re looking for a dupe of Delina.. look no further. For a fraction of the cost, you too can smell like a bed of roses (and Snoop Dogg apparently.)
Rose Whip Perfume - Delina Dupe!
I have had this bottle refilled at Nordstrom twice. This is a great fragrance for layering. It’s a vanilla done right. It’s sweet without giving you a headache. Smell lasts. The bottle is gorgeous.
Alien Goddess Eau de Parfum with Bourbon Vanilla & Jasmine
I have a bunch of different Phlur travel sizes and this is my favorite. They discontinue scents so I got an extra just in case. I always get compliments.
Missing Person Eau de Parfum Travel Spray
PHLUR can do no wrong! This is a great summer/vacation scent.
PHLUR Golden Rule Eau de Parfum Travel Spray - Sephora
Misc
It’s like Listerine for your eyes. I can’t recommend this stuff enough.
Rohto® Max Strength Redness Relief Eye Drops
$32 for deodorant? Listen it’s worth it. If you’re into building your scent from shower to fragrance, this is for you.
Donna Karan Cashmere Mist Deodorant 1.7oz
