This mascara is my ride or die. So affordable, makes my lashes look amazing, and lasts all day!
Essence - Mascara - 19 Products
The most affordable and best (in my humble opinion) make-up sponges
BEAKEY Makeup Sponge Set of 6, Super Soft Beauty Sponges for Foundation | for Liquid, Cream & Powder Application, Pink Blender for Flawless Blending, 0 Latex Vegan & Cruelty-Free, Reusable
Love to add this for my “no makeup” makeup days. A little of this with your favorite skin tint will give you just the right amount of coverage and even out your skin tone. It’s long lasting and also in the cheaper end of makeup.
Hydrating Camo Concealer | Full Coverage
Hands down, my all time favorite bronzer. I became hyped from the OG YouTube days when they all recommended it, but it’s still one I repurchase and grab for 12+ years later!
Murumuru Butter Bronzer | Bronzer
Bought these on a whim and they truly surprised me. I wasn’t expecting a lot, especially based on the price. These shadow sticks are so easy to use. They blend out, layer well, can be used as eyeliner. I now have in both matte and shimmer.
evpct 8Pcs Cream Matte Eyeshadow Stick Set
Love this concealer and it’s been around for a long time! I use the concealer version, but I also really enjoy the color correcting once as well. They aren’t super heavy, but buildable if need be!
Maybelline Instant Age Rewind Eraser Multi-Use Concealer, Light Honey 121, 0.2 fl oz
Another item that’s been around a long time that I love. Gives good coverage and easy to apply. Awesome price point as well!
Wet n Wild Photo Focus Dewy Liquid Foundation Makeup, Soft Beige, 1.0 Fl oz
Another cheap product that I’ve used for years. I personally love that this has the spoolie on the end. Of course the price point helps!
e.l.f. Instant Lift Brow Pencil, Blonde, 0.006 oz
Good brand, affordable price point, been around for as long as I can remember! I love a good eyeshadow palette that has variety and this is it. Comes in other color selections as well.

Love this for travel. Comes in different color options as well. Good eyeshadows for a really good price point!
Wet n Wild Color Icon 5 Pan Eye & Face Makeup Palette, Eyeshadow Palette, Walking On Eggshells
I really am enjoying cream products for makeup. I have a few different versions of this type of product. All super affordable and love the texture/look it gives me skin!
I have not had this product long, but I’m already obsessed. It creates the perfect “bushy” brows. The brush gives those hair like strokes and it lasts all dang day!
Perfect, moisturizing, affordable skin tint to layer under my other loved make-up products!

This is hands down one of my most favorite spf products for my face. I use daily in the summer since I am outside so much more. This doesn’t break me out or make my skin feel clogged.
Sei Bella® Daily UV Defense Broad-Spectrum SPF 25 ...
My most used skincare line. While this basic collection is really geared towards first time skincare users, I would argue it works for everyone. It’s easy and follows a simple step process. Makes my skin feel good, doesn’t cause breakouts, truly work...
Sei Bella® The Basic Collection Skin Care Bundle
Haven’t found another toning mist I love more than this. I use it multiple times daily. Before makeup, after makeup, mid day. It is hands down seriously the best. It’s refreshing, cooling, keeps my makeup in place. I genuinely LOVE this product.
Sei Bella Honey & Rose Toning Mist 5oz Alcohol-Free ...
Removed my makeup so easily. I’m also genuinely impressed how clean these come in the wash. Of course the reuse-ability is a true selling point for me. I was so tired of buying throw away wipes. I’ve repurchased these over and over!
This makes my skin soooo smooth. This is just abrasive enough it gets off that pesky layer of dry skin without causing irritation. I’ve even gently used it on my face before without issue. Great for getting that smooth skin for before self-tanning!
Deep Exfoliating Glove for Body Scrub & Skin
Occasionally I will go through phases where I break out. This spray helps keep them minimal. It doesn’t burn, doesn’t feel weird. I would compare it to a toner going on honestly. I really enjoy it if I’ve been super sweaty, swimming at a lake, or eve...

Fragrance
Thai is pricey, I know, but a good fragrance is worth it. I personally love a tropical, coconut/vanilla scent. This one is a must have. So fresh and summery.
VACATION Eau de Toilette Perfume for Women, 1 Fluid Ounce | Beach Coconut Summer Fragrance, Travel Size Spray
I’m big on scent layering. While the all day lasting effect of this isn’t amazing, these are fun for layering. They come in a few fun scents and are only a few bucks!
Fresh Feels Coconut Body & Hair Fragrance Mist 3.38oz
Love these, as previously mentioned. Fun to spray as a hair fragrance!
Fresh Feels Vanilla Body & Hair Fragrance Mist 3.38oz
Hair Products
One of the best, salon quality, leave-in conditioners and heat protectants. I get this from my salon regularly. The smell may be my favorite part, but it does wonders for my long hair!
I’ve been on the hunt for a good leave in conditioning mask for awhile. After doing some research and falling down the “Abbey Young Method” rabbit hole I found this. Makes my hair so silky smooth!
Dove Bond Strength for Chemically Damaged Hair, 9.2 Oz
This set has done wonders for my hair texture. Age has changed it, a lot, and I found it hard to manage. This set is reasonably priced and gets the job done!
Dove Intensive Repair Shampoo & Conditioner Set, 12 fl oz 2 count
Another product recommended by the “Abbey Young Method” and it really feels like a miracle. Makes my hair less tangled, silky, and provides heat protection!
Pantene Leave in Conditioner Miracle Rescue 10 in 1 Multitasking Spray, 5.7 fl oz
Another hair product that is reasonably priced and makes my hair feel so good! Dryness has been an issue recently and I can tell my hair is breaking and damaged. This has helped make it feel so soft and hydrated.
L'Oreal Paris Elvive Hyaluron Plump Hydrating Shampoo & Conditioner Set, Fresh, 25.2 fl oz
10/10 product for styling my boys hair. Keeps the spikes/styles in place all day. I also like to add to my slick back looks on days when I want them to be super sleek.

Love these! Anything to keep my hair off my face honestly. You know that over-stimulated feeling…

Rose Gold Tourmaline Ceramic Waver - Conair | Ulta Beauty
Just recently purchased this and honestly I’m loving this blow dryer. I have used all of the pieces yet, but the blow out options really work. I cannot compare to the expensive name brand, but so far so good for the price!
