From foundations to concealer & setting powder galore
Super excited to finally find a cushion foundation that works for me. The team at Sheglam sent me their Light Tan and Tan sets and I found my hue with Camel (and Mocha & Nutmeg for when I have a summer tan).
Lock & Go Long-Lasting Cushion Foundation-Caramel
A transluscent setting powder that's melanin skin approved. It's got a warm depth to it that sets beautifully on darker skin tones. It's currently replaced my One/Size setting powder! 👀
PUFF PUFF PASS SET & BAKE POWDER - 03 Translucent
So excited that Morphe is returning to its roots, focusing on amazingly made brushes, smart beauty picks, and skipping unnecessary collabs.
Buttery Blends 4-Piece Face Brush Set
I love that there are shimmer, matte and cream formulas which makes this a universal pick for so many skin types
Après-Ski Cheek Thrills Multi-Finish Face Trio - Morphe | Ulta Beauty
Creamy, matte and not drying…this is a great pick when you want a hydrating yet understated lip color. Plus, there are companion lip liners for a more precision application if you prefer.
Lip Filter Hydroplump Soft Matte Lipstick - Morphe | Ulta Beauty
This pairs perfectly with Morphe's Lip Filter color but is also great alone. Super hydrating and no dragging.
Signature Lip Pencil - Morphe | Ulta Beauty
This gives me vintage vibes when bronzer was the only kind of contouring we knew (gotta love the '90s). It's perfect for an all over effect or for targeted placement.
Cloudlight Soft Glow Veil Finishing Powder - Morphe | Ulta Beauty
This loose green setting powder just dropped this week and is perfect for offsetting redness and adding brightness.
Easy Bake Matcha Milk Cake Loose Baking & Setting Powder
I'm obsessed with this cushion because it's super lightweight, you can replace the cushion so you're reducing plastic waste, and it's travel friendly.
Essential Skin Nuder Cushion - Jungsaemmool | Ulta Beauty
just $6This is an impressive 20-shade concealer launch from Essence Cosmetics. Affordably priced at just $6.
Silky Blur Hydrating Longwear Concealer - Essence | Ulta Beauty
Fragrance
While I don't cover fragrance often...genuinely notable launches will be here!
The brand just dropped this scent last month and it's their first entrance into "gourmand" or scents that evoke foodie experiences. Citrus and vanilla notes pair with jasmine and lily for a delightful scent. (Also available in a solid perfume)
Tocca's Newest Fragrance: Laila
Loving this new launch from Phlur, it's a fresh sweet scent that smells fantastic and is also TSA approved at just 3 fl oz
Fine Fragrance Body Mist For The Body & Hair
I'm obsessed with Sol De Janeiro's new limited edition perfume mists which are perfect for hair and body and layer well with the body washes and butters from the brand's other fragrance profiles.
The Destination Drop | Limited Edition Perfume Mist
Three of Sol de Janeiro's most popular scents are now in solid form. Perfectly travel-friendly, smell divine…must haves.
Jelly Perfume Balm Trio
Lips
Glosses, balms, mattes and more
My new fave obsession...I received all six of these hues to test plus the clear and am a huge fan. In particular, I love the French Caramel (hero image) because along with being smooth (not sticky) and smelling incredible...it's giving nostalgia beca...
Polite Pout - Polite Society
Just started using this stuff and I love it. It's not too heavy and even tho it's intended for overnight use, I use it any time my lips need some hydration TLC
Vital Hydra Solution™ Jelly Bear Lip Mask with Hyaluronic Acid - Dr. Jart
A minty scent and plenty of slip make this a great addition to a core lip care routine
Shop Limited Edition Fresh Kiss Candy Cane - Sheer Peptide Glossy Lip Balm
Skincare
I love a good in-shower moisturizer. While this does have a small learning curve (you need to pair lotions with it wisely as some don't emulsify well as a follow up moisturizer to Hanni) it smells fantastic and is a great middle step in a skincare LO...
Splash Salve
A new launch from fan favorite and sensitive skin approved Cetaphil that focuses on firming and improving the look of your skin. Can't wait to try this once cooler temps arrive!
Skin Activator Hydrating & Firming Cream
I don't know how they do it but this formula is lightweight and rich. It's not completely scent-free but is incredibly light and not cloying. Plus the pump applicator preserves sterility.
Cloud Cream Pro-Peptide Facial Moisturizer
Although it's more of a slow healer than quick fix, it does work to correct texture and hyperpigmentation
BRINGGREEN Zinc Teca 1.2% Blemish Serum 25mL
This is a first step in treating skin irritation and is non-irritating in the process. It helps to keep troubled skin clean and prep it before applying any treatment ointments or creams.
Magic Molecule Hypochlorous Acid Spray
I'm honestly amazed at how quickly this product has worked. I often experience contact dermatitis and this works quickly to correct texture and hyperpigmentation.
Banu's Dark Spot Milky Serum
Available in a travel-friendly 1.69oz spray, this helps to hydrate and serves as the first step after cleansing.
Caviar PDRN Jelly Serum Mist
Nails
Obsessed with this new October launch which has an unexpected blend of deep and pastel hues! Can't wait to try Haze which is a rich chocolate hue!

I love gel manis but dont always have time to go to the salon and suck at doing my nails at home. These nail strips give me a perfect 10 every time without all the extra work traditional gel requires. You dont NEED to cure them with a UV but I find t...

This debuted as part of the brand's V-Day inspired collection but it's perfect for whimsical and romantic nails any time of year.

Another great gel sticker nail brand that makes it easy to get the perfect mani in no time at all.

For traditional nail polish, I'm a huge fan of Dazzle Dry and their easy system.

Want your Ohora gel mani to last longer, this plumping top coat gives it a little more longevity.

I've taken this portable UV gel lamp with me internationally so I can give myself a mani when I'm on the go. It's compact and super easy to use and timed perfectly to cure Ohora's gel nail strips.
ohora Gel Lamp l UV & LED lights for nail
This all-in-one gel press on kit from Aprés gives you those Instagram-worthy coffin and almond nails without the fuss.
