2|charlotte tilbury airbrush flawless foundation | yep, the holy grail of all foundations… I use shade 6N which is a great neutral for medium-skin tones or ones that faux glow like me. just be cautious of coloring because it darkens a shade after application
3|dyson air wrap styler | go big or go home!! I grabbed this two sales ago and never looked back… yes, it’s a splurge but I can’t imagine NOT using this on my mane–super fast drying capability and low heat settings to ensure your hair is looking happy and healthy

9|drunk elephant retinol cream | my go-to non-prescription retinol for overnight use. I apply after I cleanse my face 2 times a week and it’s perfect for erasing those fine lines and wrinkles and making everything tighter
10|pureology dry shampoo | if you’ve been around for awhile, you know i was a living proof dry shampoo girl, but that was until my stylist introduced me to this variety… easy to apply with a fine mist and the scent is subtle yet perfevt! great for removing day 2 or 3 oil so your mane can look its best
11|jo malone london poppy and barley cologne | my fav brand for scents, no doubt about it. a bit pricey, so i love when i can stock up on sale. this scent as well as the peony + blush suede are my two go-to options- not too floral or feminine, but not musky either…i ALWAYS get compliments on this
12|sol de janeiro brazilian bum bum cream | yes, it’s worth its weight in gold. not only will you smell like you just left the beach, but this moisturizer helps to keep your skin hydrated and FIRM
13|wander beauty under eye masks | you know i do these masks a few times each week and they never fail me. they depuff, take away the dark under eye circles and have you looking refreshed in just 15 minutes
14|laura mercier translucent light catching powder | just like the original, but better… their newest setting powder that catches the light with a bit of built in highlighting for good measure. be sure to get a new velour puff to apply
15|tan luxe the butter lotion | not one that wants a full on faux glow but a bit of gradual color?? this everyday lotion gives you a subtle glow that won’t leave you streaky
16|caudalie vinoperfect glycolic essence | i LOVE this essence for clarifying your skin after washing in the morning and at night… removes the excess dirt and oil and gives you a fresh face for your other skincare
17|glopro skin that glitters microneedling set | yep… at home microneedling is the #1 skin procedure that has transformed my face over the past few years. this set has everything you need to get it done properly and ensure all your serums, lotions and gels work their magic

19|anastasia darkside waterproof liner | waterproof eyeliner = yep, it’s a must. i am not a liquid eyeliner kind of gal, but this one stays all day AND night and works like a charm. i love the easy gel pen application, too
20|t3 curl id 1.25″ curling iron | the updated and all new smart curling iron… i started with the straightener and then grabbed the curling iron a few months later. easy and effortless curls with personalized heat settings for your mane
