Makeup
Milani blush - I got mine in the shade Luminoso during spring. Best drugstore blush I've tried! It has the baked powder texture that looks radiant and beautiful! When I need a new color I can't wait to try more of these!
False lash mascara - my new favorite mascara and it's only $4.99! It lengthens and adds thickness and is amazing!
NYX liquid felt tip eyeliner - I love the precise application of a felt tip liner. It allows you to add thin lines or go as thick as you want. This one compares to the high end ones I've tried. It glides on smooth, has control when applying with the felt tip, and has high quality pigment.
Maybelline nude lipstick in Baddest Beige - this is the ONLY drugstore lipstick I use. Usually I'm too picky about my lipsticks to use anything but department store ones. But the texture, smoothness, and color (Baddest Beige) really pull me in. This is the best nude color I've tried!
NYX butter gloss - I'm not quite as picky about the lipglosses. These are a favorite among many bloggers for a reason! Beautiful colors and pigment for a great price! I own several of these. Some of my favorites are Creme Brulee, Angel Food Cake, Vanilla Cream Pie and Eclair.
Beauty blenders - Such a great value for these! If you love using beauty blenders, this is the place to get them! I always get mine damp before using for the best application.
Makeup brushes - Such great quality inexpensive brushes! The bristles are super soft and dense enough for a great application.
Hair
Revlon hairbrush - Love this hairdryer brush! Honestly I didn't use a blowdryer on my hair hardly ever. I just didn't like applying heat to my hair and then adding it again when I used my straightener. This will give you a professional blowout so you save time and don't have to use heat on your hair twice!
Bed Head waver - Love this waver! I was reluctant because it reminded me of a crimper. It does work the same way but I love the soft waves it creates! I get compliments all the time and have had friends who love it too! Such a great tool when you want a little bit of a different, dressed up hairstyle. And easy to use!
Spiral hair ties - These are great for working out! They hold your hair in place without your ponytail slipping down when you're exercising! I have such thick hair and love using these now instead of other hair ties. They won't tangle your hair either!
Got2B Insta Hold Hairspray - I used a Got2B shine spray back in high school and always loved it. So when I saw they had a flex hold hairspray I knew I had to try! It runs at only $5 and is AMAZING! Seriously don't need to pay more as this holds well, smells great, and isn't sticky or stiff.
Got2B hair texturizing spray - Amazing just like the hairspray! It has similar features so really it's just a preference whether you like a hairspray or a texturing spray better. This will help add volume and fullness to your hair!
It's a 10 Miracle Leave in Conditioner - My hair was getting so dry this summer from going lighter and from the chlorine in the pool. I had to do something and my hair stylist recommended this. She uses it on my hair every time I go in and now I use it at home every time I feel like my hair is a little dryer. It adds the moisture I needed, and leaves my hair soft and silky!
Kenra thermal styling spray - I was always afraid my curls wouldn't stay when I curled my hair. Not after I got this styling spray! I spray it on before I curl my hair to protect it from the heat and to hold the curl from the start. It is the best product I've tried for getting my curls to stay and was another product my hair stylist uses and recommended.
Biosilk silk therapy serum - I have used this for years! My favorite product for smoothing my hair. Just a little bit goes a long way and one bottle for me lasts for years.
Dove Dry Shampoo - Honestly haven't been a fan of dry shampoo before. Gasp! I tried a few that added white to your hair - yes it faded just wasn't a fan of it or the feeling it left. This one is my favorite by far! Great smell, lightweight product that brings your hair back to life all at a great price!
Skincare
Face cleanser exfoliating brushes - Hands down my favorite skincare find on Amazon! I used to use the cleansing brushes and loved them - until I found these! Really they do the same thing, exfoliate your skin and give you a deeper cleanse, but they don't trap bacteria in them as easily. You can clean them a lot easier since the bristles are shorter. I don't personally have sensitive skin but all the reviews say they are great for sensitive skin and don't cause irritiation.
Vitamin C serum - as Retinol is for wrinkles, Vitamin C adds brightness and lightens dark spots. If you do use Retinol - they don't mix well. I will use this during the day only if I plan to use my Retinol at night. If you don't use it, feel free to use this at anytime to improve your skins glow and texture.
Neutrogena eye cream - such a great eye cream if you want to introduce Retinol into your routine. If you haven't used Retinol before, you must know that you have to start with it gradually. I only use mine at night. Too many nights in a row at first can cause irritation until your skin is built up to it. I typically use mine 3 nights a week. Great eye cream that you don't need a prescription for!
Almond oil pure moisturizing oil - such a great oil to add extra moisture to your skin! I will apply it like a makeup primer before my foundation around my eye area every day. It helps nourish my under eye and lighten dark spots. I use it all over my face occasionally too when my skin feels like it needs an extra boost of moisture.
Eye makeup remover - I usually get free Clinique makeup remover in my free gifts but have one of these around for a backup. It's a gentle yet effective makeup remover with a minimal smell.
Nivea lotion - This stuff is REALLY thick. It is for when your skin is dry and you need all the moisture! It is best for your body, but I have tried it on my face as well. It has similar ingredient to La Mer after all but at the opposite end of the price spectrum! It's not my favorite for my face but do use it occasionally if it feels extra dry.
I love being able to save on my beauty routine when I can and so I'm happy to share all of my tried and true favorites with you! I will add to this list if I find more but these so far are my go-tos that I love!
