Hand creams
Here is a little collection of hand creams I love for keeping my hands soft, smooth and moisturized BUT not greasy.
This L’Occitane Hand Cream is one of those little essentials I always like to keep around. It leaves your hands feeling soft and moisturized without that greasy feeling we all hate. It comes in three different sizes, with prices starting at 19€. You ...
Definitely one of those products worth having in your bag!

I litteraly use the Cicaplast Baume B5+ cream everyday before going to bed. My skin has healed in so many ways. I now have a smooth skin, which is amazing !

La Roche-Posay — Cicaplast Baume B5+
The easiest way to get that natural glow. The L'Oréal Lumi Glotion is one of those products that instantly makes your makeup look a little more fresh and glowy.
You can wear it on its own for a natural glow, underneath your foundation for a more luminous finish, or mix a little with your foundation if you want your skin to look more radiant.
And for around €12, I think the price is really reasonable for a product you can use in so many different ways.
You don't need much to get that beautiful glow, so one bottle can last quite a while. It's perfect for those days when you want your skin to look healthy, fresh and naturally luminous without looking covered in glitter.
If you're a glowy-skin girl, this is definitely one to add to your makeup bag. ✨

Once I started to use this miracle product, I could never go back.
This product cleared my skin in 3 days ! I am so grateful, and I could never stop recommanding this product.
It is 20€, but such a good investment and definitely worth your money ! (I usually buy it every 1,5 months)

Effaclar K(+) : Soin hydratant peau grasse anti-oxydant
It’s a coarse-grain gel scrub designed to exfoliate the body, and I love the idea of using it when you want that fresh, smooth-skin feeling after a shower.
The geranium leaf scent also gives it that fresh, green, slightly citrusy vibe that makes your whole bathroom feel like a spa.
It’s €39 for 180 mL, so yes, it’s definitely more of a splurge for a body scrub. But if you love turning your everyday shower into a little self-care moment, I can totally see why this one is worth it.

The L’Occitane Almond Shower Oil is one of those products that makes me feel like I’ve somehow upgraded my entire shower routine.
It’s currently 22€, which is definitely more than I’d normally spend on a shower product, but if you love beautiful body-care products and that gorgeous almond scent, I can honestly see why this one has become such a L’Occitane bestseller.

The L’Occitane Cedar & Ginger Shower Gel has that warm, woody and slightly spicy kind of scent that feels really clean and sophisticated. It’s such a nice alternative if you're not into the usual super-sweet or floral shower gels.
The 250 mL bottle is around 18€.

The L’Occitane Almond Shimmering Body Oil leaves the prettiest subtle golden shimmer on the skin while also helping to hydrate and soften it. The texture is light and silky, sinks in quickly, and doesn’t leave that greasy feeling.

Haircare
They are so much hair products on the market that you can't choose. Here are my recommandations
One of those beauty products that just feels luxurious. NUXE Huile Prodigieuse is perfect when you want your skin and hair to feel soft, nourished and beautifully scented.
I love the dry-oil texture because it gives your skin a beautiful glow without leaving it feeling greasy.
Also, it costs around 24,50€ for 50 ml, but I finished my bottle in more than 6 months, so it is definitely worth the money !

Huile Prodigieuse - Nuxe
This brush has that very girly, personalized feel that makes an everyday item feel way more special. I could totally see this as a birthday gift, bridesmaid gift, stocking stuffer, or honestly just a little “I saw this and immediately thought of you”...
And because it has your name on it, it feels so much more personal than buying a random hair brush.
These are currently around 13€–15€, depending on the design and customization.

If you love vanilla, this one is definitely worth trying. The Vanille Bourbon fragrance from Adopt has that warm, sweet and comforting vanilla scent that makes you want to smell it again and again and again.

Make-up
These are my favourite discoveries I've made over the years ! - from low to medium budget
The Benefit Benetint is such a pretty little multi-use product because you can use it on both your lips and cheeks for that really natural, fresh flush of colour. It’s much more of a your-lips-but-better / naturally flushed cheeks kind of effect.
Plus, it is waterproof, transfer-proof ! And at 26€, I actually think it’s a really cute addition to your makeup bag (mine lasted for a year !!)

The Benefit Play Daze is SO pretty if you love that soft, naturally flushed cheek look. It has this really lightweight, almost air-whipped texture that blends out so easily, leaving your cheeks with a soft matte finish rather than looking heavy or ov...
It’s 34€, so definitely not the cheapest blush, but it lasts so definitely worth trying !

It’s €26, but the fact that you only need a tiny amount each time makes it feel like one of those products that could stay in your makeup bag for ages !

The formula is super pigmented, so you only need a little bit, and I love that there are 15 shades to choose from with both soft-matte and glowy finishes.
At €9.95, this is such an easy little makeup purchase. Especially because you barely need any product each time, so I feel like one blush could last you forever.

Buttermelt Blush - Blush poudre | NYX Professional Makeup
If you’re anything like me, you probably don’t need a huge eyeshadow palette with 40 colours you’re never going to touch. Sometimes you just want a few pretty shades that you know you’ll actually wear, and that’s exactly why I like this one.
The NYX Ultimate Edit in Warm Neutrals has that perfect everyday colour story: warm, soft and super easy to work into your makeup routine.
But honestly, the best part is the price: €6.95.

NYX Ultimate Edit in Warm Neutrals
This is one of those NYX products I keep coming back to because you can do so much with it.
The creamy texture makes it really easy to apply and blend, and you can use it as an eyeliner, all over the lid as an eyeshadow, or underneath another eyeshadow to make the color pop more.
At 7.95€, I think it’s such a good little product to have in your makeup bag, especially if you like easy, effortless looks.

JUMBO eye pencil
This product gives you that super wet, high-shine finish while leaving a pretty lip stain behind, so your lips still have color even once the gloss starts fading.
There are 20 shades too, from soft nudes and pinks to deeper berry and chocolate tones, so there’s genuinely something for every mood.
And at €12.50, this is one of those little makeup purchases I would 100% add to my basket without overthinking it

SMUSHY
This product lifts and sets every little brow hair in place for up to 24 hours, giving you that clean brow-lift effect without actually having to get your brows laminated.
The little built-in comb makes it super easy to brush everything up and out, and the formula is transparent, sweat-resistant and designed not to leave those annoying white flakes behind.
At €11.95, I feel like this is one of those products that you absolutely need !

Liquid eyeshadow
The NYX Fat Cheeks Juicy Blush is a liquid blush that gives your cheeks that gorgeous pop of colour without making your makeup look heavy.
I love liquid blushes for this because you can start with just a tiny amount and build it up until you get exactly the intensity you want.
The best part? It’s only €7.95 on the NYX website.

I really like how easy it is to blend and build up. The texture is so smooth and it doesn’t leave me with harsh lines, which I really appreciate.
