Anastasia Beverly Hills Brow Freeze -
I do not know how my brows ever went without this product! It’s so easy to use and gives an amazing fullness to them that I’ve never found with any other products. I’m never looking back!
Amika Volume and Matte Texture Spray -
This has given my hair amazing texture and added volume when I curl my hair. It’s also great for first day wash styling to dirty it up a bit. I can’t go a day without using it and I can totally tell a difference as soon as I finish my hair off with this product!
This is by far the best brush cleaner I’ve ever used! It cleans my beauty blender and brushes so well. My brushes look new after each wash. I use it after ever other makeup application to keep my makeup looking fresh and bacteria out of my brushes.
Iconic London Liquid Highlighter -
I’ve tried a lot of highlighters and pretty much every single one ends up looking bad a few hours later. This is by far the best I’ve ever used. It doesn’t settle into my fine lines and doesn’t have big flecks of glitter in it. It gives nice natural pearly glow and last all day!
Merit Perfecting Complexion Concealer -
I have never had a concealer work as well as this one does! It literally is a second skin, but provides full coverage without feeling heavy or cakey. I swear by this for all skin types. I personally struggle with concealers because I have very dry skin, but this one doesn’t look dry or crease.
I love finishing off my makeup with this lip oil over my lip liner. It gives a natural gloss to my lips and I love carrying it in my purse when I need to give my lips a little refresh. The aesthetic of the packaging is so elegant and classic too!
I tried this for the first time at their event and I was immediately hooked. Once I turned 30 this year, my skin needed a little refresh and this has been so good to lift and tighten! You definitely have to be religious with it, but it’s so nice having a facial device that you can use each morning that feels like such a luxe part of my morning skincare routine.
Olaplex No. 6 Leave-in Treatment -
This stuff is unreal! I love all of their products, but this one is by far my favorite. I use it about once a week and I swear my hair has never looked healthier. The ends have always been my problem area and this really has helped to keep my hair strong and looking shiny!
I was using cream blushes for a couple years and I do like them, but I have to say this liquid blush has been a game changer. I have really dry skin, so I pretty much use all cream and liquid products in my face makeup. This one looks so natural and is extremely pigmented! I really think it’s going to last foreverrrr! The packaging is so gorgeous too!
Function of Beauty Shampoo & Conditioner -
I have tried a loooot of hair products and I still felt like I had never found a shampoo and conditioner that gave me the results I wanted. The personalization intrigued me, so I decided to try it and I’m so happy I did. This really does give you the perfect formula to achieve the results you want for your hair and my hair has never been healthier!
Four Sigmatic Mushroom Cacao -
I have a hard time getting tired at night, but I started incorporating this into my nighttime routine and I have never slept better. It’s the perfect sweet treat before bed and tastes just like hot coco. It’s something I can’t live without. I love taking it when I travel too!
Good Molecules Niacinamide Brightening Toner -
I received a PR package from GM with this product in it and I’m so so happy I did! It quickly became a favorite ride-or-die product in my skincare routine. It really does help to reduce the appearance of your pores, which was something I started noticing more when I turned 30. This is a holy grail for me!
Good molecules Hyaluronic Acid Serum -
You guys have heard me say these a few times already, but my skin is so dry and this product helps lock in moisture. I can’t go a day without it. The price point is truly a winner with all of the GM products!
Good Molecules Silicone-Free Priming Moisturizer -
I have tried more moisturizers than I can count and as soon as I started using this, I couldn’t believe how good it was! It is one of the best I’ve used and is the perfect skin prep for my makeup. I can’t apply my makeup without using it!
Sephora Pro Foundation Brush No. 70 -
I first saw this brush when Delaney Childs shared it and I was actually looking for a new foundation brush because I feel like oddly enough it’s hard to find a good one! My makeup has never looked more flawless! I do love using my beauty blender still for my under eyes, but this brush is a game changer. It doesn’t show any lines and gives amazing coverage. I highly recommend this if you’re looking to step up your foundation application.
Beautycounter Skin Twin Featherweight Foundation -
I absolutely love this foundation! It gives a really nice medium to full coverage without feeling heavy at all! It doesn’t feel drying and has a really nice natural look to it!
New Morning Mercies Daily Devotional -
I wanted to start reading my bible more and I saw Kristin Johns share this on her YouTube, so I knew it would be the perfect addition to my morning routine. It really is one of the highlights of my morning and I truly look forward to reading an entry each day. It has really helped guide me throughout this year and learn a lot.
The Daily Stoic Daily Devotional -
I’m sure you have heard this before and for good reason.. it’s AMAZING!! I’m so happy I started adding this into my morning routine! It has also been something that has helped guide me throughout this year, has brought a ton of positivity and new perspective to the way I view/approach things, and has provided a lot of growth opportunities! I highly recommend this book for the new year!
Alohas Total West Black Boots -
These were my first pair of Alohas and I can honestly say, these are my most worn boots of this year! I wore them in every single season and they are by far the most comfortable I’ve ever worn! I have grabbed this pair more times than I can count and they go with so many styles. I now have 3 pairs of boots from Alohas and every single one is amazing quality + so comfy!
I found Sami Clarke in 2020 on YouTube when my gym closed and as soon as she came out with her app, I knew I needed it because I love all of her workouts. This has been the best fitness platform I’ve used and I look forward to my workouts every day! They’re the perfect amount of time with warmups and cool downs for each type of workout. I love how organized it is and that I don’t have to think about what I’m going to do each day of the week.. she has it all planned out! I can truly say, my body has never looked better and I can see a change in not only my physical appearance, but I can tell my body has gotten stronger and my form has gotten so much better! I love that I can take it anywhere with me too because there’s minimal equipment needed and she modifies everything, so it’s perfect for any fitness level!
I got these early in the year and I’m so happy I did! These have been my most worn sneakers throughout the entire year! I grab for them constantly because they’re so comfortable and they go with literally everything! If you’re looking for a classic white sneaker, this is it!
