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)

The kind of product that deserves a permanent place in your bathroom cabinet. 
It costs around 17€ for 100ml. 
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 !

The Centella Cleansing Oil by Erborian melts away makeup, sunscreen and everyday impurities while helping leave your skin feeling soft and comfortable. I love a cleansing oil for that first step of an evening skincare routine.

Garnier Micellar Water is one of those simple products that makes everyday makeup removal so much easier. 
It's affordable, easy to find and practical enough to keep in your bathroom or take with you when travelling. At around €5–8, it's definitely one of those beauty basics worth having around.

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!

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.

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 !

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. ✨

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 !

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 !

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.

The NYX Lip Lingerie Stain is basically a lip liner + stain in one. The little ball-tip applicator makes it super easy to trace and sculpt your lip shape, while the stain gives you up to 12 hours of wear without smudging, transferring or disappearing...

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

I’m such a fan of simple jewellery that still has a little something to it, and this Water-Resistant Dome Ring is exactly that. The chunky dome shape makes it feel like a statement piece, but it’s still simple enough to wear every single day. 
And the fact that it’s water and sweat resistant makes it even better.  
It’s €40, which I actually think is pretty reasonable for a ring you can wear so often.

I feel like a good bangle can make even the simplest outfit look so much more put together, and I really love the look of this Hammered Bangle Bracelet.
The hammered finish gives it that slightly imperfect, textured look that makes it feel much more interesting than a completely plain bracelet. It has that effortless, slightly vintage feel that I think looks especially pretty with other delicate jewe...

I feel like we all need that one jacket we can throw over literally anything and somehow the whole outfit looks better. And I think this could be that jacket. 
I’m obsessed with the cropped shape, it makes the whole trench feel a little more modern and less “classic office coat”. And the green?? Such a pretty colour, especially if you’re tired of wearing beige and black all the time. 
I wear this with jeans and a simple top, but I can also see it looking amazing over a little dress or with a skirt and boots. 
It’s £75, which I actually think is pretty good for a jacket like this. Especially because it’s one of those pieces you can wear through multiple seasons.

Okay, this is the kind of pair of trousers I literally live in. I feel like finding trousers that are actually comfortable and look cute is weirdly difficult… but these? I really love the shape. The barrel cut gives them that slightly oversized, effo... 
And the olive green is honestly such a good colour (it comes in different colors).
At €39.90, I also think they're such a good buy. They have that “put together without trying” look, but you can still wear them with a simple T-shirt and sneakers on a normal day. 
Personally, I wear them with a fitted top and little ballet flats or sneakers for that effortless everyday outfit. 
If you're looking for a pair of trousers that you can wear constantly and style a million different ways, I honestly think these are worth it.

They’re around $65, and honestly, for a pair of black trousers, I think they’re such a good wardrobe staple. 
Basically, if you want one pair of pants that can take you from class to dinner to a night out, these are it. 🖤

I feel like black pants are such an underrated wardrobe staple, but these are definitely not giving boring basics.
I love the little pleat detail at the waist, it makes them look a bit more structured and elevated, so they don’t just feel like another pair of casual trousers. And because they’re black, you can literally pair them with EVERYTHING. White tops, colo...
They’re around $65, which I think is such a good price for a pair of pants you could wear from everyday outfits to going out.

The Lyocell Blouse with Embroidered Details has that effortless, feminine feel that makes any outfit look a little more special. I love the delicate embroidery, it adds just enough detail without being too much. 
I wear it with jeans and sandals for an easy summer look, or with tailored trousers for something a little more polished. Basically: the kind of blouse that makes even a simple outfit feel put together. 🤍

I feel like this is exactly the kind of dress you see once and immediately start thinking about where you could possibly wear it.  
The navy satin is just gorgeous, and I love the way the little draped sleeves fall on the shoulders. This dress makes the whole silhouette feel really feminine without being overly fitted or complicated. 
It’s £238, so definitely an investment, but if you’ve been looking for a beautiful occasion dress that feels elegant rather than overly trendy, I genuinely think this one is worth looking at. Also… navy instead of black? I’m obsessed ! 💙

A personalized passport holder + matching luggage tag? I’m obsessed. 
This set comes with a textured leather passport cover and matching luggage tag, and you can personalize it with initials or a short name in a pretty foil finish. 
And honestly, the matching luggage tag makes it feel so much more elevated than just buying a passport holder. 
It’s around 13€-25€ on Etsy,

I feel like sometimes all an outfit needs is the right pair of shoes, and these are exactly that kind of pair. The little pointed toe, the curved heel and that brown pattern just make them feel so much more special than a basic pair of heels.
 I love that they’re still really easy to wear, though. You could literally put them with jeans and a simple top and suddenly the whole outfit looks more put together. And for a wedding or a nice dinner? Even better. 
They’re €135, so definitely not the cheapest shoes, but I feel like they’re the kind of pair you can keep coming back to whenever you want your outfit to look a little more elevated. Honestly, if you’re stuck between wearing something super simple an...

Throw it over a black coat, a big sweater or even a simple white tee and jeans, and suddenly the whole outfit has so much more personality.

Honestly, if you’ve been wanting to try leopard print but didn't know where to start, this is probably where I’d start. It’s cute, it’s easy, and it makes a surprisingly big difference to a simple outfit.
