items As a picky girl, these are my absolute go-to beauty & hygiene products that I will always re-purchase. I have very sensitive, acne-prone skin, so all skincare products will be safe for/targeting acne.

Skincare
I have always had extremely sensitive, acne-prone skin. This cleanser has refreshed my dry, damaged skin barrier and doesn’t irritate my acne.
Face Reality Barrier Balance Creamy Cleanser
Apply after washing off your cleanser. Can be used in a cotton round, or simply by hand.
Face Reality Moisture Balance Toner
Very hydrating and smooth! Apply after toner, but before moisturizer.
Facial Reality HydraRemedy Gel Serum
A little goes a long way with this one, coming from a chronically dry-skinned girly. It glides so smoothly and stays all day.
Face Reality Cran-Peptide Cream
Can be used as a face mask, or as a second moisturizer. Since I have dry skin and live in a dry climate, I apply a pea sized amount after the rest of my routine to lock everything in.
HydraCalm Mask – Hydrating & Soothing Face Mask
Super gentle on skin & removes makeup FAST. Even waterproof. Just add a bit to a cotton round or cloth and watch the makeup disappear.
Garnier Micellar Cleansing Water

Orgasm has been a beauty staple for as long as I can remember..and it’s STILL just as good. As a tried and true blush for all skin tones, the gold shimmer and soft pink hues accentuates your ✨unique✨ beauty

Natural Brow Duo - Waterproof, 2-in-1 Brow Tool
I’ve already struggled with mascaras because they are SO hard to get off. It made me not even want to wear makeup due to the trouble of taking it off. Until..I found THIS. Highly Rated is a tubing mascara, meaning it comes off in tubes with just wate...
Milani Highly Rated Tubing Mascara
I have always had trouble finding a good setting powder, but this one saves the day every time! I have combination skin & powder tends to stick to dry patches in my face. Ever since picking this up, i’ve had no issues! This will be my go-to powde...
Perfect Finish HD Setting Powder
The PERFECT lip gloss for every single skin tone. Pairs well with nearly every lip liner shade & my friends ALWAYS ask to borrow it when they see me using it. Not sticky, perfect shimmer. Just overall perfect honestly.
Gloss Bomb Universal Lip Luminizer - Fenty Glow
I have always shyed away from using foundation due to it clinging weirdly to dry patches on my face. After wasting hundreds trying every product “meant” for dry skin, this has answered my prayers. I apply it with my finger and it stays hydrated witho...
Hydromaniac Hydrating Dewy Foundation for Dry Skin
Blends like butter, super pigmented. Just one small dot goes a LONG way. It’s the perfect under layer to your favorite powder blush.
Soft Pinch Liquid Blush | Long-Lasting Dewy & Matte Blushes - Hope
This shade specifically is the perfect subtle boost of color for pale lips. Leave it on for about 10 minutes, or until it dries, and peel off. It leaves behind a beautiful, light pink stain. I layer the fenty gloss bomb on top and it is the perfect c...

I know i’m not the only one who can’t STAND the smell of a powdery dry shampoo. The fragrance of Perk Up gives fresh & clean, even on day 4 hair. The added texture is a bonus for sure!
Amika Dry Shampoo: Perk Up
This hairbrush is specifically made for brushing wet hair, but I use it for EVERYTHING. My hair tangles very easily and can be hard to my table without ripping it out. This is the ONLY brush that has been able to tame my mane. They come in many diffe...
Wet Brush
I apply a small amount of this hair mask during my shower instead of using conditioner. Make sure your hair is damp, but not soaking wet (squeeze the water out) and add about a quarter sized amount to the ends/mids of your hair. Let sit for 5-10 minu...
Amika Soulfood Nourishing Hair Mask
I have very straight, fine hair & finding a good hair gel to tame flyaways & do slicked styles has always been difficult. After finding this gel, i’ve never had an issue. It’s not ideal if you’re looking for maximum hold, but it’s great for a...
Eco Style Olive Oil Gel - Shine & Tame Ends
I tend to want to change up my hair quite often, and also want to save money & do it myself. This is the perfect dye because it requires no additions like developer, unless you want to dilute the color. It also comes out in a few washes, dependin...

If you love Sol De Janeiro, but don’t love the price tag, this one is for you. I am on my 5th purchase of this body butter and can’t get enough. The scent lasts all day & is strong enough to catch the attention of those around you. I’ve gotten mo...
Trader Joe's Brazil Nut Body Butter with Acai
After 4 empty bottles, Ambery Vanilla has become my everyday scent. I can’t go a day without wearing it. The smell is absolutely entrancing! If you are a fan of musky, yet sweet fragrances, this is the one for you. A perfect dupe for YSL Black Opium.
Ambery Vanilla - YSL Black Opium Dupe Perfume
I’m in love with how fresh this smells! Floral + apple in the BEST way possible. I get a compliment every single time I wear this scent.
Bath & Body Works COASTAL HYDRANGEAS Mist
The BEST toothpaste without all the harmful ingredients. Still leaves your mouth feeling fresh and clean, not grainy like other toothpastes.
