i’m actually sharing my entire makeup routine on stories today so make sure to watch those if you want a step by on step on my routine! these are just my top 7 picks from the makeup category!
i rotate between a few different primers but this one has remained my ride or die for years now. it blurs your pores and creates the most smooth canvas of skin to apply the rest of your makeup on! allows your foundation to go on so smooth and avoids any creasing throughout the day / also helps with the longevity of your makeup!

again, i have a few different foundations i rotate between but when i travel and can only bring ONE foundation with me...this is it. it's full coverage, but still looks so natural. but gives your skin this beautiful soft glow and makes your face look SO smooth. it also lasts ALL day without ever getting shiny or creasy!

my absolute favorite blush! i love that it's kind of like a blush and highlight in one - gives you a little bit of a glow / shimmer! i have this in 3 different colors because i loved the finish so much! 'cheer' is probably my personal favorite!

i have this lip gloss in an embarrassing amount of colors - and legit have one in every purse that i own. it's plumping, cooling, hydrating, not sticky...and comes in the most BEAUTIFUL colors! i love the shades 'george', 'maple sugar' and 'lavender sorbet'!

the GOAT of all setting powders IMO. helps SO much with shine control and gives your skin this sooth matte finish all day long. it blurs fine lines and improves the look of the texture of your skin! i also love using this to set my under eye concealer!

i've raved about this highlight palette at least 100 times by now haha so i don't want to sound like a broken record but this highlight palette makes ALL the difference in your makeup! gives you the prettiest 'lit from within glow' and all 4 shades are so stunning! anytime i wear this i always get compliments on my skin or comments like 'you're glowing!' when truly...it is bc of this highlight palette!

y'all know how loyal i am to my tarte purple tube mascara, but this new one really rivals first place in my book now! it makes your lashes SO dark and thick and long, without getting clumpy! it also curls your lashes which makes them look even longer! i'm super impressed with this new mascara and will for sure be repurchasing.

the oribe alchemy shampoo & conditioner are my holy grail, i will never live without, hair products. they’ve made all the difference in the overall strength and health of my hair. they smell amazing, don’t weigh your hair down, and are also great for extending the color life of your hair!
this product has been SUCH a game changer with my hair! i use it probably once a week (bc it lasts multiple washes) and it makes your hair SO silky smooth and eliminates all frizz. you have to make sure to read the instructions on the bottle in order to get the full benefit but when you spray this in sections in your hair and then blow dry with a round brush...you end up with the smoothest, frizz-free hair for days! worth all the hype!

i was SHOOK that the dyson was not excluded from the sale! if you've been on the fence about the dyson airwrap, IMO it is worth EVERY penny. it dries and curls your hair all at the same time and gives you the best bouncy blowout style type of curls! (but there's a million different ways you can use it). i got mine back in 2021 i believe and still use it on a regular basis. so, if you can it for 20% off i cannot recommend enough!!

i started using this hair serum about 6 months ago and think it's made a huge difference in the health of my hair! i like to thinking of like a nighttime hair care routine (similar to a nighttime skincare routine). i apply one pump from mid lengths to ends and then sleep with my hair in a silk scrunchy. it's a leave-in serum that nourishes, hydrates, detangles, and enhances shine overnight!

i use this shampoo probably every 3-4 hair washes to give my hair & scalp a REALLY deep clean. this shampoo removes product build up and also has keratin which helps to strengthen your hair at the same time. scalp care is essential for your overall hair health and this detox shampoo is a must in my. hair care routine.

one of my all time favorite hair tools! when i travel, this is typically the only tool i bring with me. it can curl your hair, smooth out frizz, refresh a blowout...and it uses infrared heat which means minimal damage. i love that you can easily get a bouncy 90's style blowout look with this, or just use it to curl your ends under!

i think ouai came out with this product a year-ish ago and it's become a must-have in my routine ever since. you know when you go to the hair salon and they put a gloss or toner on your hair to help richen up the color or tone out brass? that's essentially what this treatment does, but at home! it has hyaluronic acid and rice water to boost shine, protect color, reduce frizz, and take hair strength up a notch! i've noticed my hair color looks so much more fresh + rich after using this!

i've been using this lip treatment at least once a day everyday for the past year now and swear it has made my lips SO much more plump + full! right now i'm pregnant which helps but even before pregnancy people would ask me if i'd gotten filler recently (and i hadn't), because this treatment helps to build up the collagen in your lips, making them look so much more full! it's also so hydrating and feels amazing the second you put it on!

if you follow me on IG, you've seen me share these eye patches no less than 500 times haha. i wear these almost every single morning while i'm getting shiloh's breakfast / lunch ready for school. they instantly depuff under your eyes, make you look more awake, hydrate the under eye skin area and so much more. they feel AMAZING and really make all the difference in under eye puffiness! pro tip: keep them in fridge for extra coolness & depuffing!

one of my all time favorite skincare products for at least 5 years now. if you struggle with discoloration, melasma, or the texture of your skin...this product will be your BFF. it's a lactic-acid, AHA serum that targets the look of pores, hyperpigmentation, and dark spots and is clinically shown to reduce the look of fine lines and wrinkles. one of those skincare products that kills like 5 birds with one stone!

i've been raving about this lash serum for over a year now and will continue to sing it's praises. i've tried at least 5 different lash serums over the years and this one hands down has given me the BEST results, for a pretty reasonable price. i stopped getting lash extensions after i had lyla and this serum has made my natural lashes SO long and healthy again. people ask me all the time if i have lash extensions, thanks to this serum!

one of my all time favorite moisturizers, that i keep in my regular rotation. i love that it's so lightweight but so hydrating all at the same time. helps your skin look so youthful and plump without feeling greasy!

the hype behind this product is REAL and the price point is SUPER reasonable IMO. it's a liquid exfoliant that helps to clear and prevent breakouts. also helps smooth the texture of your skin...and it's one of those products that you can truly tell a difference with after just a couple of uses! helps to unclog pores and control the oil of your skin without drying it out!

IYKYK - a skincare product i legitimately use EVERY single day without fail. i add a few drops to my tinted SPF every morning for a boost of hydration as well as a bronzy glow! it's almost like skincare and makeup in one and you an add it to moisturizer, tinted spf, or just wear on its own! it's also infused with antioxidants and peptides so you're getting a bronzy wash of color while boosting skin’s elasticity and supporting healthy barrier function all at the same time!
