Skin: CeraVe Blemish Control Cleanser – It’s not a leave-on, so yeah, you actually have to wash it off (annoying, I know), but it does the job. Garnier Pure Active Micellar Water Cleanser – I double-cleanse because I don’t trust my skin to be clean after just one round. First, I use the CeraVe one, then I go in with this. Does it make a difference? I think so. The Ordinary Serum – They say to use it every three days, if I wake up with my face still intact, we keep it going. ISDIN Sunscreen SPF 50 – Listen. If you’re not wearing sunscreen, you’re setting yourself up for failure. Apply it every two hours, and yes, that includes when you’re indoors. Lips: Fenty Beauty Pro Kiss’r Lip-Loving Scrub Stick – I love this because it’s in stick form, meaning I don’t have to dip my fingers into a pot. Swipe, rub, done. Soft lips unlocked. L’Occitane 10% Shea Butter Lip Balm – Thick but not sticky, and actually does what a lip balm is supposed to do (which is more than I can say for half the lip balms out there). I put it on before bed or under lipstick, and my lips stay happy. Laneige Lip Sleeping Mask – They market this as a night treatment, but I use it whenever because it’s just that good. Smells nice, makes my lips soft, and lowkey, I just like the feeling of it. I do apply it usually at night though Eyes: CeraVe Eye Repair Cream – It’s an eye cream. It hydrates. It doesn’t feel greasy. I put it on and hope for the best. That’s all I got. Hair: Bumble and Bumble Volume Shampoo – It cleans my hair, which is literally its job, so props for that. It doesn’t make my hair feel like hay afterward, so extra points. Also smells good, which is a plus. Oribe Moisture & Control Deep Treatment Masque – This is my “rescue my hair” treatment. When my hair is over it, I put this on for 10-15 minutes and pretend I have my life together. Works every time. Aveda Nutriplenish Leave-In Conditioner – Lightweight but actually moisturizing, which is rare. Doesn’t make my hair greasy or flat, so I keep using it. Sisley Hair Rituel Precious Hair Care Oil – Smells like a fancy spa and makes my hair feel like it just got back from a silent retreat in the Alps. Adds shine without looking oily, which feels like actual witchcraft. Curly Hair Routine: Ouidad Curl Cream – Defines my curls without making them look like ramen noodles. Keeps everything soft and frizz-free, which is the goal. Oribe Curl Gelée for Shine & Definition – My curls, but better. It holds without making my hair crunchy, which is a win. The shine is just a bonus. Oribe Grandiose Hair Plumping Mousse – For volume when I don’t want my hair to look sad and flat. Doesn’t feel gross btw Makeup: Fenty Beauty Gloss Bomb Universal Lip Luminizer – This is a classic. Looks good on everyone, feels nice, smells good. Rihanna just doesn’t miss. Tower 28 ShineOn Lip Jelly in "Clear" – I layer this over the Fenty one because I like my lips extra glossy. Not sticky, super lightweight. I just love it Maybelline Great Lash Clear Mascara – Cheap, reliable, does the job. I mostly use it for my brows because my lashes need more help than this can give. Clothes (Brands): I shop all over, but my go-to places are Monalissa, Stradivarius, Ralph Lauren, and Aritzia. Not a big Zara fan, don’t come for me :/// Perfume Maison Francis Kurkdjian – À La Rose Prada – Paradoxe Dolce & Gabbana – Dolce I know it’s not a lot, but these are expensive, so let’s be real—I can’t have 50 of them. Alright, that’s the routine—nothing too crazy, just what actually works for me. If you’ve got any holy grail products I’m missing out on, let me know because I’m always down to try new stuff (even if my wallet isn’t). Stay hydrated, wear your sunscreen, and don’t let your hair bully you. ✌️
