How many times have you been caught on vacation needing to buy bandaids, pain reliever, lotion, tampons…? Maybe even just at a bar or on a random night out? For me, the answer is A LOT. Here is a list of almost everything you should buy for a travel emergency kit! Just remember to stock up and re-stock if you use something up!

As a cool toned girl, finding makeup products that don’t turn orange on me can be difficult. Not to mention I don’t like to spend much time in my makeup and I am acne prone + combination skin/ oily skin. These are the products I use when I do my makeup ++ they are cruelty free!

This is my go-to skincare routine for combination/oily and acne prone skin. I also lean on the dehydration side as well, so I’m trying to heal my skin barrier to become less oily! I’m more oily in the summer and combo in the winter. This routine won’t take you very long to do, which is great for someone under a time constraint or a little bit lazy (like me). Products are listed in the order in which I apply them!

These are my favorite beauty brands for an oily/combo skin girl who is acne prone!
