STAPLES

These are ALWAYS on my vanity, and there’s no better time to stock up on essentials than during a sale!

MAKEUP

Tartelette In Bloom Palette - I’ve had this palette for years, (and repurchased twice!) and it never gets old. The shadows are buttery, and are a fantastic everyday staple.

Charlotte Tilbury Mini Icon Lipsticks - These three shades are the only nude lipsticks you’ll ever need. They stay on great, hydrate your lips, and the shades look gorgeous on every skin tone.

Beauty Blender - I used to think there was no difference between these and a normal drugstore sponge, but man was I wrong. These blend like a dream, don’t soak up your foundation, and are worth every penny.

Giorgio Armani Luminous Silk Foundation - If there’s one makeup item worth splurging on, it’s foundation. I’ve tried tons of pricey options, but this one takes the cake. It’s medium coverage but buildable, very hydrating (you can wear dewy alone or set with powder) and just looks like radiant skin.

Milk Makeup Cream Bronzer - I have been using the same stick of this in Bronzed I think since highschool… maybe it’s time for a new one, but this cream bronzer is the best, most natural, and longest lasting bronzer I’ve ever used.

Urban Decay Perversion Waterproof Mascara - I will never use another mascara but this one. It lengthens, gives volume, and makes my stick-straight lashes actually curl (and stay that way). they have a non-waterproof version if that’s your jam, but I think this one is the absolute best.

HAIRCARE

Amika Perk Up Dry Shampoo - Hands down the best dry shampoo. No white cast, an incredible scent, and soaks up oil without making your hair goopy or heavy.

Olaplex 3-5 - For anyone who dyes thier hair (specifically bleach Olaplex is key. My colorist recommended it when my hair started breaking, and even after only two months, I’ve seen a significant improvement in my hairs softness and strength.

SKINCARE

Kiehls Creamy Eye Treatment - lightweight but ultra-hydrating, it’s the perfect starter eye-cream for those in thier 20’s.

Kiehls Oil Cleanser - Double cleanse. Please say it with me, double cleanse. You need an oil cleanser first, followed by a water-based cleanser (I love glossier’s) And if you’re thinking ‘I have oily skin, why would I use an oil cleanser?’ that’s exactly why you should be! This will ensure you get off ALL the dirt, oil, ad makeup, before hydrating your skin.

Kiehls Ultra Facial Cream - Speaking of hydrating your skin, this is the best basic moisturizer out there. No frills, no fuss, just a classic simple moisturizer that does the job.

Peace Out Acne Dots - These are the best acne dots on the market, I’ll pop one on a forming zit, and it speeds up the process tenfold, while sucking out all the gunk so there’s no need to pop and get a scar! Highly recommend if you’re prone to acne.
