The CC Crème by Erborian gives your skin that natural, healthy-looking glow while helping even out your complexion. I love that it combines skincare with light coverage, so you can look put together without feeling like you're wearing lots of makeup.

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. ✨

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 !!)

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 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...
At €11.95, this is honestly such a good little addition to your makeup bag, especially if you want your lips to look defined even when you’re keeping the rest of your makeup super simple.

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

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.

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.

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,

The Damson Madder Striped Fabric Jewellery Box is such a cute way to keep all your jewellery organised while also making your room feel a little more special. 
I love the striped fabric that gives it such a feminine, vintage-inspired feel.  
Basically, it is the perfect 30€ piece for keeping your favourite jewellery in one pretty place !

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. 
And honestly, the price-to-quality ratio is hard to beat ! You get a beautiful, noticeable fragrance for only 11,95€ !
 What I love most is that the scent lasts surprisingly well throughout the day, especially for the price. 
And let’s be honest… who doesn’t want to smell like vanilla? In summer, spring, autumn or winter, there’s never really a bad season for it 🤎

Books

You wouldn't think you'd need that but…In fact you do.

This personalized magnetic bookmark with an initial is such a cute idea for anyone who loves reading. 
And honestly? You could pair it with a book and a little handwritten note and have the cutest mini book-lover gift set.
It is currently available at around 3€–8€, depending on the material, design and personalization.

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 know leopard print can feel a little scary sometimes, but I honestly think this is the easiest way to wear it without going overboard. I love that the scarf itself is quite simple, it’s just enough leopard to make a basic outfit feel a little more ... 
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. 
And at $25, I feel like it’s such an easy little purchase. You don’t have to completely change your wardrobe to make it work, it’s just one of those accessories you can grab when your outfit feels a bit boring. 
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.

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)

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!

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.

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.

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.
