Sephora Favorites Sets– Sephora’s gift sets are always a great way to test lots of new products! I always recommend starting the sale with these because they sell out quickly. The Sephora sale is especially a great time to buy gifts! They have some amazing ones right now- like this Clarins Lip Oil set– I love these oils, they don’t feel greasy but they do last on your lips forever!

Skincare

Youth To The People Superberry Hydrate + Glow Dream Night Cream + Mask with Vitamin C– My skin has been so dry lately and this mask helps so much with that! I apply it at night aftet any other serums and wake up to hydrated happy skin.

The Ordinary Multi-Peptide + Copper Peptides 1% Serum– I’m a huge fan of this serum! It helps make you age backwards & it’s an antioxidant! I’ll alternate between this and a vitamin C serum. *Don’t use it simultaneously as Vit C because they’ll cancel each other out. Use vitamin C in the AM and this in the PM if you want to use both.

INNBEAUTY PROJECT Extreme Cream Eye Firming & Contouring Refillable Eye Cream– I got this in a PR box and shared it on my stories and OMG I’ve never received so many DM’s about how much everyones loves this eye cream!

Dr. Dennis Gross Skincare Alpha Beta Universal Daily Peel Pads– These peel pads are the OG. They’re so good for evening out skin tone, reducing acne, smoothing texture, and keeping pores clear.

Murad Retinol Youth Renewal Serum– I love this Retinol. It’s gentle and easy to use, unlike some that make you peel and dry/ itchy.

Murad Retinal ReSculpt Eye Treatment – This eye cream helps brings life your eyes and soften fine lines.

Shani Darden Skin Care Triple Acid Signature Peel – Shani is a celebrity esthetician and this is the peel she uses before red carpet events. It doesn’t make you peel it just makes your skin look SO GOOD.

Tata Harper 5 Minute Facial for Megawatt Glow – My fave mini facial! It’s a two step facial that makes your skin look so glowy! *Clean*

Biodance Bio Collagen Real Deep Mask for Pore Minimizing & Firming Care– I am not a big sheet mask person and even I LOVE these. They stay on well & if you wear them overnight you will wake up to the most gorgeous, plump skin!

 Tower 28 Beauty SOS Daily Hypochlorous Acid Spray – This spray is great for literally everything- spray on your face after a workout to prevent breakouts, spray on your under arms if you’re extra stinky lately, spray on your babys bottom if it’s irritated… it’s a must in every household.

Makeup

Face:

Primer: If you struggle with your makeup staying in place you should try a primer. It basically acts like a smoothing base layer for your foundation that blurs pores, wrinkles, and keeps everything on. It’s especially important if you are oily, combo, or dry!

Hourglass Veil Mineral Primer – This has been my go-to primer for 7 years. I’ve tried them all and I keep coming back to this. It makes my skin look SO smooth- but it isn’t mattifying so it still lets your natural glow shine through. It has zinc so it’s great for acne-prone skin and it’s just SO SO GOOD. I recommend this for combo, oily, or normal skin.

Iconic London Mini Underglow Blurring Primer- If you love the glass skin look, you will love this primer! It is gorgeous under makeup!

Foundation: If I had to pick one must-have makeup product it would be foundation. I LOVE FOUNDATION. I have way too many to list here so I had to really work to narrow it down for you.

Full coverage: On days when I need my makeup to not budge I reach for one of these two. They are a little mattifying so if you want glow you’ll need a highlighter on top. These create a super even base so you can hide any pigmentation from dark or redness and then you can add color on top.

Lancôme Teint Idole Ultra 24H Long Wear Matte Foundation

Estée Lauder Double Wear Stay-in-Place Foundation

Medium Buildable Coverage: This is where I usually land. I like medium coverage foundations the most because they can be more sheer or more full depending on how much you apply.

NATASHA DENONA Hy-Glam Foundation Hydrating & Blurring Luminous Longwear Serum Foundation– My newest favorite! I bought this at the last sale and it’s my go to for glam makeup! It’s stunning, lightweight, and longwearing.

NARS Light Reflecting Skin Improving Medium Coverage Foundation with Cacao Peptides– When I want lighter but still medium coverage this has been my go to. It’s gorgeous and makes you look like you have glass skin.

HAUS LABS Triclone Skin Tech Medium Coverage Foundation – *Clean* I used this foundation up and that RARELY happens for me because I have so many- I love it so much! It is great coverage but still somehow looks natural. It has a glowy finish and makes your skin look beautiful.

bareMinerals COMPLEXION RESCUE Tinted Moisturizer with Hyaluronic Acid and Mineral SPF 30 – *Clean* This is the most beautiful tinted moisturizer I’ve tried! It makes your skin look so great! I’ve been wearing this almost every day lately and people always compliment my skin.

MERIT The Minimalist Perfecting Complexion Foundation and Concealer Stick – *Clean* This is great for lazy makeup days where you want some light coverage but don’t have time to blend it in. I rub it all over and take a quick brush to blend. It makes your skin look even and great!

MERIT  The Uniform™ Tinted Mineral Sunscreen Broad Spectrum SPF 45– If you’re looking for a beautiful tinted SPF with more coverage than the BareMinerals one this is it! I’ve been loving it!

Concealer:

Tower 28 Beauty Swipe All-Over Hydrating Serum Concealer with 18-HR Wear– *Clean- I am OBSESSED with this concealer! It’s lightweight but great coverage! HERE’s my concealer tutorial where you can see what it looks like on me & all of my top concealer tips for no creasing. I wear color DTLA

Dior Forever Skin Correct Concealer – This is hands down my favorite concealer. It’s full coverage yet lightweight. Beautiful finish.

Too Faced Born This Way Super Coverage Multi-Use Longwear Concealer – This is *SUPER* full coverage. More of a matte finish. Used to be my go-to before I discovered the Dior. Similar coverage to Shape Tape but unlike Shape Tape this isn’t drying!

Setting Powder: After foundation, I ALWAYS apply setting powder. It helps my makeup stay in place and look flawless. I have tried way too many setting powders to count but I tossed many of my old ones because they had Talc. The two that I’m sharing below are Talc-free and give you the best finish!

Kosas Cloud Set Loose Translucent Talc-Free Setting + Blurring Powder– I love this light pink powder for brightening my undereyes.

ILIA Soft Focus Finishing Powder – *Clean* – This finishing powder is great at blurring fine lines/ pores and setting makeup. I love the travel-friendly case too.

bareMinerals Original Mineral Veil Pressed Setting Powder – *Clean* – I love to use this one under my eyes because it really smooths everything out! I keep one of these in my purse at all times because its packaging is really convenient and it keeps my oily skin in check.

Bronzer:

Rare Beauty Warm Wishes Effortless Cream Bronzer Stick– *Clean* I got this at last years sale and WOW. I have never liked cream products and this one has made me a believer. It blends so easily and works as a bronzer and a contour! You can’t beat the price point of $28! I wear color Happy Sol.

MAKEUP BY MARIO SoftSculpt Transforming Skin Enhancer– This bronzer gives you the prettiest natural glow! I apply it with a dense brush and press it into my cheeks. I have color light medium. v

Haus Labs Power Sculpt Velvet Bronzer with Fermented Arnica– *Clean* – Haus Labs continues to amaze me! I love this powder bronzer. It’s very pigmented and blendable.

Blush:

Rare Beauty by Selena Gomez Soft Pinch Luminous Powder Blush– If you love a glowy blush you’ll love this! They’re very pigmented so a little goes a long way!

Kosas Blush is Life Baked Talc-Free Dimensional + Brightening Blush– This blush is SO pigmented. I’m shocked because it’s clean! If you’re a blush lover get the trio-it’s a great deal!

Saie Dew Blush Liquid Cheek Blush– *Clean* My girlfriends gave me this blush for my birthday and I’m glad they did! I love it! I never would have tried a cream blush otherwise. I love how easy to blend this is.

Highlighter:

Hourglass Ambient Lighting Palette – This makes your skin look like it’s naturally glowing- not like you just put glitter on. I use my face powder brush on all 3 colors and brush it all over my cheeks, forehead, and nose.

Rare Beauty by Selena Gomez Positive Light Silky Touch Highlighter– This finely milled shimmer is beautiful on! It adds more shimmer than the Hourglass so if you’re really looking to shine get this one!

 

Mascara: Lancôme Lash Idôle Flutter Extension Lengthening Mascara – this is my go to mascara! It gives you length and volume without clumping or fallout under your eyes. It’s fantastic!!

Rare Beauty by Selena Gomez Perfect Strokes Universal Volumizing Mascara– *Clean* One of my favorite volumizing & lengthening mascaras!

ILIA Limitless Lash Lengthening Clean Mascara – *Clean* – Truly one of the best mascaras I’ve ever tried. Zero fall out. Zero clumps- just SO GOOD. Makes my lashes look so long!

GrandeLASH – MD Lash Enhancing Serum – I love the textured tube applicator. Lash serums make such a difference- I recommend them to EVERYONE.

Lips: Charlotte Tilbury Lip Cheat Lip Liner – This is the best lip liner ever. It doesn’t budge! I love Iconic Nude- it’s the perfect non-pink nude… and of course the cult classic Pillow Talk- the best pink nude out there!

SEPHORA COLLECTION Colorful 8HR Longwear Transferproof Lip Liner– This is a more affordable super long wearing lip liner! It’s SO GOOD. I wear color Cinnamon Brown.

Kosas Wet Stick Moisturizing Shiny Sheer Lipstick– *Clean* My favorite lipstick! It’s non drying and the colors are beautiful!

Kosas Wet Lip Oil Plumping Treatment Gloss – *Clean* If you like glossy lips you will LOVE this! It’s clean so you can feel good about ingesting it (haha) and it makes your lips look great! It’s also not sticky and makes your lips feel hydrated.

Rare Beauty by Selena Gomez Stay Vulnerable Glossy Lip Balm– If you like a glossy lipstick with a bit more color than most you’ll love this. I wear this on days I want color & shine but not a full lipstick.

Valentino Spike Valentino Hydrating Disco Lip Balm– I wear this every day. I love how it feels like chapstick but adds gorgeous color. It works with lip liner for a more done up look or on its own!

tarte Maracuja Juicy Lip Plump – *Clean* Makes my lips look so glossy! The plumping doesn’t sting like other plumping products.

Brows: Anastasia Beverly Hills Brow Freeze Extreme Hold Laminated-Look Sculpting Wax– Nothing has made my brows stay in place until this! It’s amazing! I found a clean drugstore dupe HERE.

Kosas Cloud Set Airy Setting Spray + Smoothing Mist– Love this for giving me a dewy look.

Hair

Chris McMillan The Dry Texture and Volume Spray– It’s not easy to impress me with volumizing products because most do nothing in my thick hair but HOLY MOLY this works SO WELL!!!! It smells amazing and gave me the best volume I’ve ever had! I spray it on as my hairspray after curling the ends- not at the root. THIS is my favorite root volume spray.

amika  Soulfood Nourishing Hair Mask– I love this nourshing hair mask! Smells incredible and makes my hair feel amazing.

K18 Biomimetic Hairscience  AirWash™ Dry Shampoo– This is the coolest dry shampoo I’ve ever tried. It’s aerosol free and sprays on like a liquid but dries down and makes your hair look so clean!! It also adds amazing volume!

amika Normcore Nourishing Shampoo & Conditioner- Finally a shampoo & conditioner for normal hair! I don’t have dry hair and I don’t have curly or any other the other hair variations they make products for- my hair is boringly normal and this shampoo & conditioner made my hair feel incredible without being weighed down.

amika Perk Up Talc-Free Dry Shampoo– One of my all time favorite dry shampoos. It smells so good and feels like nothing in your hair. Whenever I wear this Steve says I smell like a hot girl haha.

K18 Biomimetic Hairscience Molecular Hair Repair – This is a great time to get the K18 mask on sale!! Full review here.

Moroccanoil Dry Shampoo – Smells SO GOOD. Comes in light and dark colors and feels like nothing!

IGK Good Behavior Spirulina Protein Anti-Frizz Smoothing Spray – This makes you look like you’ve gotten a Brazilian blowout and lasts for days!

COLOR WOW Extra Mist-ical Shine Spray – You can fake healthy hair with this stuff! It makes your hair look so shiny and beautiful!

COLOR WOW Dream Coat Supernatural Spray Anti-Frizz Treatment– This makes your hair look and feel SO SLEEK!! I like how it has no scent, unlike the IGK.

COLOR WOW Xtra Large Bombshell Volumizer– If you’re looking for volume, look no further! This mousse feels like NOTHING in your hair and gives you great lift!

RŌZ Root Lift Volumizing Hair Styling Spray– If you’re looking for ROOT volume, this is the best! It doesn’t feel gross in your hair, and it really works! I made a reel about it HERE if you want to see how it worked on my thick hair.

COLOR WOW Money Mask Deep Hydrating & Strengthening Hair Treatment– This mask makes my hair look and feel great, and it smells so good.

T3 SinglePass Curl X 1.5” Ceramic Extra-Long Barrel Curling Iron– I have the older version of this and love it! It’s high quality and the curls it makes are gorgeous!

Body:

.First Aid Beauty KP Bump Eraser Body Scrub with 10% AHA– If you have KP (Chicken skin- those little red bumps/ dots) you need this! Steve has KP and it works so well.

The Ordinary Mini Glycolic Acid 7% Exfoliating Toner– You can also use this on your KP- a more affordable option! I love to use this on my armpits when I’m feeling stinky. I also use it on my feet/ calluses & it makes them so soft! I don’t recommend using it on your face because it is very strong.

Dolce Glow Lusso Self-Tanning Mousse in Medium to Dark- One of the best self tanners I’ve ever tried! It has a color guide so you can easily see where you applied it (no streaks!) and it’s such a light, fluffy foam that dries down and smells good!

St. Tropez Self Tan Purity Bronzing Water Face Mist– I actually spray this on my brush and apply it to my hands. I never apply my body tan to my hands because it’s such an easy area to mess up! This adds nice natural looking color and is almost foolproof.

Perfume

I’ve switched almost all of my body products to clean and getting rid of fake fragrances was quite challenging. Many clean fragrances don’t really smell like perfume… I found a few brands that do! I like to purchase discovery sets instead of full-size bottles because I rarely wear perfume, but it’s nice to have something when I want to.

Henry Rose Perfume Discovery Set- *Clean* . Henry Rose actually smells like the high end fragrances we all love. I find that a lot of clean fragrances just don’t smell as elevated but these do!! I bought the starter kit and absolutely love Windows Down and Jake’s House, WOW they smell so good!

By Rosie Jane Perfume Discovery Set – *Clean* I bought the starter kit last year and am so impressed with the fragrances!

Salt & Stone Extra-Strength Aluminum-Free Deodorant– *Clean* wow this deodorant is amazing! Truly masks any smell & smells SO GOOD.

Nécessaire The Deodorant Gel – With 5% Alpha Hydroxy Acid (AHA) and Niacinamide – *Clean* Aluminum free and feels like nothing! One of the best deodorants I’ve tried!

NAILS

Glamnetic Press-On Nail Kit– Glamnetic nails are so good! They last forever on me & look beautiful! Whether you’re new to glue ons or a pro, you will love these.
