I'm a low maintenance girl but as I get older there are definitely products that I've noticed have made a huge difference.

Makeup
This stuff rocks. I use a brush and it blends so well and great coverage without settling into every nook and cranny of my skin. I have acne prone skin that is combo oily with dry patches and it glides on. Love this for days that I’m going to need to...
L'Oreal True Match Foundation N3 Light Medium
On those “no makeup days” but ooh I’m blotchy- this is a dream- I put a few drops on my face and blend with my hands or puff and I’m good. It’s hydrating and perfect
L'Oreal True Match Nude Hyaluronic Tinted Serum
Never flaky, never clumpy, just beautiful and lengthens your lashes. Doesn’t run even when my eyes tear!
Maybelline Lash Sensational Sky High Mascara
There’s a reason this is so hyped up. It’s good. It’s really really good. There isn’t anything even close to this. Use a velvet puff to dot around your under eyes and anywhere that needs setting and brightening.
L'Oreal Infallible Blur-fection Loose Powder
I need a long lasting lip color- I don’t reapply and I look like I’m seriously ill without lipstick or stain. These are never trending but are amazing. They stay on (just let them set for a few minutes first) and have such beautiful colors. I have 4 ...
NYX Lip Lingerie XXL Matte Lipstick - Undress'd
Usually something this fricking adorable would have a garbage product but I’m so glad I was wrong! La Neige lip masks are overrated and expensive and 2 of these are under $10! They keep my often chapped lips so hydrated. I love slathering it on with ...
2 Pack Bee Lip Balm Honey & Strawberry
Skincare and prep
Changed my skin- bye bye eczema!
Naturium Glow Getter Multi-Oil Hydrating Wash
Want to look like you actually got good sleep? I swear this is the most important part of my makeup- it just makes your eyes pop!
LUMIFY Redness Reliever Eye Drops, 0.08 Fl Oz
I’m in my 40s and those lines under my eyes and the bags are really starting to show. I like the ROC stick but it is expensive and not alot of product. I use this before and after concealer to help with hydration and the bags, and it helps the concea...
CITYGOO Caffeine Eye Cream Stick - Anti-Aging
I’m in my mid forties and used to spend a LOT on moisturizers and still have acne and flaky dry skin.
I love La Roche Posay and it’s on my list too, but this is under $14 and is thick and creamy and amazing, so I will be using this from now on. Face ...
Vanicream Moisturizing Skin Cream Pump 16oz
This has been my go to moisturizer for almost 7 years, even when I was on Accutane it still kept my skin hydrated and flake free. It is soothing and leaves no heavy residue and my skin is ready for makeup or bed. I cannot recommend this moisturizer e...
La Roche-Posay Lipikar AP+ Moisturizing Cream
I wanted to think this was overhyped because $16 for a chapstick is wild, but dammit, it is amazing.
It instantly makes my lips feel so hydrated and they stay that way for hours. Ugh it’s my new obsession and I fear I will be buying other flavors now...
Topicals Slick Salve Mint Glossy Lip Balm
Hair and nails
They really should charge a lot more for this. The silkiness and smoothness it provides is amazing. Better than all the expensive brands
Marc Anthony Hair Mask
I am not good at doing anything except putting my hair in a ponytail. I want to be, but I also have no patience and barely ever even blow dry my hair.
However, I have to look nice every once in a while and no matter how many curling iron videos I wat...
BeKind Waves 1" Auto Rotating Curling Iron
What is a nail concealer?! I don’t know but I love this. I peel my nails but also cannot sit still long enough for manicures and then waiting for them to dry (I will without fail chip a nail within 20 mins). So I try to do nails at home but ugh. This...
