Skincare
Summer Fridays CC Me Vitamin C Serum
Over the past year, I’ve tried four Vitamin C serums and this one has won by far. It’s not sticky!! And I’ve noticed the quickest results of brighter skin and acne scarring. So thankful for this product for what it’s been doing for my acne scars! I use this every morning!
Dermalogica Retinol Acne Clearing Oil
Impressed is an understatement. I’ve never experienced something to quickly effective without any drying of the skin. It’s like magic in a bottle and it’s helping me overcome my acne ten-fold. It also has salicylic acid to really help with shedding dead skin cells, speed up healing, and decrease pimple formation.
Glow Recipe Watermelon Glow
Niacinimide Dew Drops
This is a multi-tasking product for skincare and makeup. Niacinimide is incredible for strengthening the lipid barrier, oil regulation, treating hyperpigmentation, and helping with acne. It’s also amazing to use under your foundation for healthy, hydrated looking skin!
ILIA Lip Wrap Clean Hydrating Lip Mask
Don’t let the simplicity of how this looks fool you. This lip mask is wicked hydrating, creamy, and thick. I keep this on my bedside table at all times and use it nightly to prevent dry, cracked lips.
Peace Out Retinol Eye Stick
Surprisingly amazing! Warm it up on your hand before you swipe under your eyes and you’ll literally feel your eyes become more firmer-feeling and appear smoother. Also, warming it up on your hand helps your hands out and also helps glide the product across the delicate eye area more easily.
Supergoop GlowScreen Sunscreen
No sunscreen beats this pearlescent, glowy SPF. It’s so radiant and luminescent and yes, it works if you have oily skin! It’s not sticky, tacky, filmy; it weightless and will give you that glow-from-within look..and then some.
Dr. Dennis Gross Alpha Beta Extra
Strength Daily Peel
I use these when I realllly need some help with my acne, especially when I’m breaking out around my period. This is powerful! It has Glycolic Acid (AHA), Lactic Acid (AHA), and Salicylic Acid (BHA) and tremendously helps my acne overnight. I use this once or twice a week! This is incredible for those SOS moments.
Paula’s Choice Skin Perfecting 2% BHA
Liquid Exfoliant
How many times do you have to hear how amazing this is on TikTok for you actually buy it? Consider this the last time. This is a holy grail.
Makeup
Saie Glowy Super Gel Lightweight Dewy Highlighter
I use this all over my face before I put my foundation on and woah, hello glow. It’s a little more subtle than Supergoop’s Glow Screen for comparison. I love that this has Vitamin C in it as well as Rose Hip Seed Oil! This can be worn alone, mixed with skincare, or used with makeup.
Kosas Revealer Super Creamy + Brightening Concealer and Daytime Eye Cream
This is way underrated! It’s fantastic and I love that it’s clean makeup!! I adore how creamy it is and that it has a radiant finish. It’s medium coverage. And lastly, it has skincare benefits such as caffeine and pink algae extract which fights dark circles, puffiness, and dullness. It also has hyaluronic acid, peptides, arnica and panthenol, like cmonnn!! Talk about a product that’s ahead.
Fenty Beauty by Rihanna Eaze Drop Blurring Skin Tint
Yup, another thing that’s blowing up and TikTok and for good reason! It feels and looks just like skin. It’s light coverage with a natural finish, perfect for the warmer days ahead! And it’s long-lasting. Win-win.
Kaja Blendable Cheek Stamp
First off, such an adorable k-beauty product. Secondly, this blush blends like a dream. I love it’s light-medium coverage and how a quick pat with your fingers creates a beautiful, healthy flush on the face.
Makeup by Mario Master Mattes
Brightening Eye Pencil
I’ll admit.. if you’re reading this, you’re the first to unlock one of my makeup secrets. It’s this!! I love the bone color of this, making it look more like skin than a bright white color. My favorite thing about this is that it doesn’t catch on your lower lashes at all. I also love that it brightens the waterline, especially if it’s looking a little red, purple, or tired.
Huda Beauty #FauxFilter Foundation Stick
Love love love!!! It’s been the only foundation I’ve been wearing these past months. For starters, it’s oil-free so it’s amazing for my fellow babes with acne! It’s also totally buildable from light coverage to full coverage so it’s mega versatile. It has a natural finish and looks amazing in photos and direct sun and after a long day. You need this in your collection!
NARS Laguna Paradise Found Bronzer with Gold Overspray
I can’t stop and I won’t stop using this. It’s one of the best powder bronzers. I think it’s the perfect warm tone without coming off as too orange, even on my pale skin when I don’t self-tan. The gold overspray is super fun, especially when you use the product for the first time, but know that it’s just on the top layer and not throughout the entire product.
Freck the Original Freckle
By far the best faux freckle product on the market. I love how much control you have over the application and how precise the tip is so you can make super small freckles or larger ones. Do a couple dots and pat with your finger to create more across your face with varying intensity of color. LOVE.
Lawless Satin Luxe Classic Cream Lipstick
I will NEVER shut up about these lipsticks!! They are clean and they are wonderful. They’re the absolute perfect nude colors with a satin finish. I highly, highly recommend “Annie” for a light pink nude and “Fawn” for a light peachy nude. Pair both these colors with a neutral brown lipliner and holy shit, thank me later.
Charlotte Tilbury Cheek to Chic Blush
This is a stunning formula! It’s radiant AF and I love the color payoff of this. Because it has two colors in one, you can customize the color a bit if you want, though I just love to blend the two. My favorite shade is “Pillow Talk.”
Hair
Oribe Gold Lust Repair & Restore Shampoo
I’m an Oribe girl; I think as far as luxury salon-recommended lines, this is IT. I have been growing out my balayage to get back to natural hair color and it has absolutely transformed my hair health. I’ve never had my hair be so soft, velvety, and silky, and nourished, especially on my natural hair color. I’ve also noticed a decrease in my scalp’s oil production, not sure how, but hey, I’ll take it!
OUAI Leave-in Conditioner
I’ve used this for two years now! It does an amazing job of detangling hair right out of the shower. And when your hair dries, you will notice less frizz and so much more softness and shine. It also protect against heat damage! It’s definitely gonna be around in my beauty collection for a long time.
Be Gentle, Be Kind Avocado + Kiwi Mega Moisture Superfood Mask
Off the bat, the smell of this will make your eyes go wide. It’s delicious smelling! And what I love most is how thick and creamy this formula is. It really hydrates the hair so well with vitamins and minerals, especially if you have dry hair, and it’s deeply nourishing.
Drybar Detox Dry Shampoo
Sooo incredible for decreasing scalp oil. On the days I style my hair, I love using this the same night to prevent oil from producing overnight and to maintain my styled hair. It’s absolutely amazing and smells like you just walked out of a high-end salon. It is heavily scented, so be warned if you’re sensitive to that!
Oribe Gold Lust Nourishing Hair Oil
This is such a versatile hair oil with mega impact! I love using this for three specific things. First, for an overnight hair treatment by totally coating my ends in this before I go to bed. I love using this on damp hair for heat protection, smoothness, and shine before I style or let my hair air dry. And lastly, I love using this after I style my hair for that shiny finishing touch. If you’re considering Gisou’s Hair Oil but want something more affordable with equal impact, this is it!
Olaplex No. 0 Intensive Bond Building Hair Treatment
While I haven’t personally tried this, so many of my Instagram followers have told me how reparative this has been for their all-over color-treated hair! So I’m including this because it’s their recommendation!
Fragrance
NEST New York Madagascar Vanilla Perfume Oil
I’m so impressed by this perfume oil! The Madagascar vanilla smells divine - not artificial or too strong at all. You literally only need one drop of this on your wrist for it to transfer to your other wrist and last all day long. It literally lasts all day long.
Dolce&Gabbana Light Blue Eau de Toilette
This is a super fresh and lightly citrusy fragrance and I drool over this. It’s definitely not super feminine which I love to wear in contract to my feminine florals. This just feels like an expensive, fresh, summer smell.
Dior Miss Dior Blooming Bouquet
This is my second time owning this perfume and it is such a beautiful, floral, feminine scent. If you’re looking for an elevated scent in this scent category, this is a staple!
Clean Reserve Rain
If you’ve read my in-depth blog post about my top 3 favorite scents from Clean Beauty Collective, then you already know this on that list. I love this scent because it’s lowkey a little masculine. It’s a watery musk scent, which is a super clean smelling scent. When I’m feeling a bit androgynous in my outfit for the day, I love to wear this to emphasize the vibe.
