My perfect everyday body wash. I am almost half way on this product, so very exciting after so many months of loving it.

This is such a versatile product that I am still loving. I have used it as a mask so many nights to get rid of any bumps I had.

I STILL LOOOOOOVEEE this, so glass skin on a budget for the colder winter months. I am so close to being fully done with it and I cannot stop talking about this and how good it is.

This and the Tirtir Toner is still my fave skincare routine. I am now almost done with both of these products because I use it so much.

Hair
I ended up discovering some new hair products I have been loving so much this month.
Since I don't always wash my hair, my scalp can get a lot of buildup and become very itchy, this in combination with its matching conditioner is so good for my wash routine to get rid of itchiness and buildup, that is gentle and fragrance free.
Anti-Dandruff Hydrating Shampoo For All Hair Types | CeraVe
This in combination with its matching shampoo is such a great combo for itchy dry scalp days. It leaves my scalp feeling so clean and my hair so soft.

Some recognizable favorites from 2025 and January.
One of the most underrated bronzer sticks on the market. So creamy, so easy to blend. I love the shade “Flicker” , it is a nice neutral tone on my medium skintone. Perfect for when I want colorful and bolder makeup, but still want some depth on the f...
Flicker Sudden Heat Creamy Bronzer Stick - Morphe - Ulta Beauty
Why does not one EVER talk about this powder bronzer. This is the perfect neutral tone on the skin. I love the sahde “03 Sun Tan”. It has such a good amount of pigment and little to no fallout. Works with so many of my tools and has never failed me. ...
Silky Matte Bronzing Powder - Milani Cosmetics
I have been loving this since I bought this during the spring VIB sale. It is the perfect tone for my complexion. Not to grey, but not to warm. This is the perfect formula for my oily skin. So if you're looking for a powder contour for the nose and f...
SEPHORA COLLECTION Colorful Contour Matte Powder 02 Light
This is such a forgettable product, but I decided that I would pick it up for the last month of 2025 and try to pan it, or at least use it to the most I can, and I am so glad I did. This is such a creamy formula and it glides on the eye so well with ...
L.A Girl Shockwave Eyeliner Pencil
Dare I say this is truly worth the almost $20 price point. This performs like a high end foundation. It looks so good on the skin and it has never failed me.

Maybelline Fit Me Blush, Lightweight & Blendable
I am devastated this original formula is now discontinued. This shade may be a little scary at first, but the formula is so easy to buildup. You can make it look as hot pink as it appears in the pan, but it can also be light.
Revolution Blusher Reloaded Pressed Powder
Devastated Milani has discontinued these, but they are still available in certain places. If you can find these, get them. They are so good and are not leaving my under eyes cakey and have too much build up after applying these under concealers. One ...
Conceal + Perfect Undereye Brightener - Milani Cosmetics
I love these so much. I finally figured out how to use the green one for the best results. I mixed it with the peach corrector from Milani, and it is working perfectly. If you struggle with your color corrector peaking through your foundation, try th...
HD Pro.Conceal - LA Girl
Tested
So many skincare and beauty items tested this month.
I love the pink bottle version of this, and decided to try out the yellow bottle, but this is huge change in formula. This is a thicker oil, and has a lot of moisture to it, it is going to work very well for dry skin. It does take longer to fully rin...
HAKOCO KOSE Softy mo Deep Cleansing Oil 230ml

I retested this bb cream after so many years, and I forgot how much I love BB creams and how good they are. This is perfect for everyday makeup and it is so good for only $1.
AOA Perfect BB Cream - Shop Miss A
This has been a spray I wanted to test out for so long. Now that I finally have, I am glad i got to try it. It doesn't add much to my makeup, but it does mesh my powders. Don't love it, but also don't hate it.
Facestudio® Lasting Fix Makeup Setting Spray, Matte Finish
I have been a huge hater of this powder for such a long time. Now that I retested it, I really like it now. It is light and it is good for acne prone skin because it is not heavy at all. So glad I never gave up on this product.

Blush Crush Bouncy Blush - Profusion Cosmetics

Solo Artist Priming Cream Eyeshadow – Morphe US
These are so amazing. It feels just like water on the lips. It evenly goes onto the lips which is such a step up to formula's we used to see. It lasts so long and it does not fail me. It is perfect a a base lip underneath any lip combo.
ULTA Beauty Collection - Plum Paradise Weightless Water Lip Stain
These are so good from Tirtir, i picked these up from Ulta because of how affordable these are. I immediately fell in love with these. They are a glossy lip stain, but you can wipe it away and be left with a pretty shade. I love the shades “29 Eveny”...
25 NUTTY PINK Waterism Glow Tint - TIRTIR - Ulta Beauty
Ulta Beauty collection is way to underrated for my liking. We need to stop sleeping on them. These lipliners are so good and so long lasting. They are very creamy and also come with a brush on the end to blend it out. The shades are also so pretty. O...
Blushed Mauve Sculpting Peptide Lip Liner with Brush Tip
Let's stop sleeping on Rimmel. This powder was a trial and error, it does leave a slight sheen on the skin and for those with texture skin you already know the struggle a little sheen can make the skin look like, so for this powder specifically you n...
Rimmel London Stay Matte 001 Transparent Powder
This is such an underrated bronzer. I really like the finish this leaves on the skin. It looks natural for everyday but can also be built up. It has the slightest bit of a blurring factor which is perfect for my textured skin. This is the type of pro...
TALC-FREE BRONZER POWDER - Pretty Smart
Covergirl keeps on hitting with all of these new launches. This is such a pretty highlighter, the glitters are not chunky and do not enhance any of my skin texture. This looks so good on the skin and does not pick up what I have underneath it. Such a...

Wooden Lip Pencil Set - Beauty Creations Cosmetics
These are such a throwback, but are so good. They are slightly dry then many lipliner formulas but they are long lasting. It is so easy to sharpen and it is just a small amount of waxy, Been loving this formula.
Slim Lip Pencil Creamy Lip Liner | NYX Professional Makeup
This is such a pretty tint. It is a glossy lip stain, but you can wipe it off and be left with a pretty pink shade. I love the shade “Swisj”, it goes with so many pinky lip combos as a base, but also pretty on its own.
HOLIKA HOLIKA Heart Crush Bare Glaze Tint 05
I understand the hype of this now. I love this so much, it is so pretty anf it such a unique formula. There are so many dupes, but I have never tried a formula like this, it is almost like a gel, and it is one of those products you can keep on reappl...

Thunder Tech KOSE Softymo Speedy Cleansing Oil 230ml
These are such og's. These have never failed me. I love these because they have bigger sizes for big breakouts. Always worth it.

For those who struggle with stinky underarms, especially during the summer this is perfect. It is a gel formula so it is very comfortable for the summer heat once it dries down. So good and affordable.

I finished a mini sample of this and this is so good. I forget about this fragrance but it is so good for a clean day. It has a citrus floral smell. It is always a go to during touch up during the long school days.

Another mascara empty, and also another fail. This is a dryer formula which also does not work for my stubborn lashes. I wanted to like this but it does not work at all. Glad I tried it but I am never gonna repurchase.
