I fucking LOVE sharing what I love & seeing what other people love, too! This post has a LOT of items because I haven’t had a place to talk about so many of these sooooooo grab a snack or a drink or whatever and see what I’ve really been enjoying lately in no particular order:

L’Oreal Glossing 5-Minute Laminating Mask

This mask has changed my LIFE! Ok not really, but it has really enhanced and changed my hair game! You still shampoo & condition like normal in the shower, but then you put this in your hair afterwards for 5 minutes and BOOM you get silky, frizz-free & shiny hair whether you air dry, blow dry, whatever! And I’ve noticed that the more I use this, the better results I keep having. I seriously can’t recommend this enough! Sometimes I don’t even have to straighten my hair if I blow dry because this helps control frizz so incredibly much. LOVE! I’ve already gotten an extra one as backup to make sure I never run out.

Dr. Althea 345 Relief Cream Mist

I’ve been trying a TON of hydrating skincare mists lately, but this is by FAR my favorite & I’ve already bought 2 back-ups (one was by accident, but whatevs, I roll with it). It’s a milky spray you shake up and then spray all over your face and omg it’s just perfection. I typically use it as the last step in my skincare routine both morning & night, but I also use it whenever I need a little refresh (whether I have makeup on or not) or extra glow. There’s no strong scent and it has a SUPER fine mist on it. Again, very highly recommend!!

Fenty Beauty Shake ‘N Play Liquid Blush in the shade Wild’berry Whip

At first glance I thought this shade would be way too dark for me, but it blends out on the face so incredibly beautifully that I’ve had absolutely zero issues with it! I do between 1 and 3 dots on the face, depending on the look I’m going for that day, and I either blend it out with my finger tips or a brush. No matter how I blend it out, it just looks absolutely stunning and I always get compliments when I wear it! I literally cannot say enough good things about this blush

About-Face Cooling Chromes Eyeshadow + Face Highlighter Stick in the shade Doll Parts

Ok so About-Face has quickly become one of my favorite brands of all time, and these cooling sticks are a huge reason of why. I own three shades, but this one is my FAVEEEEEE because it’s the perfect shimmery pink that can be used on its own or as a blush topper. While these can be used on the face or eyes, I usually only wear them on my face and they last ALL day without fading. I’m obsessed!!

Paw Paw Super Soft Wonder Blender Sponge

Shelby Ann from TikTok got me hooked on these sponges! I haven’t used a sponge in YEARS, but this one is SO incredibly soft and it blends everything liquid/cream out like an absolute DREAM! I just washed this one, so they look a little smaller when you first get them but they poof up quite a bit after you get them wet (that’s what she said). It takes away any excess product without taking away TOO much, you know? They’re perfection. I got a pack of like 8 (I think?) so I’ll be set for quite a while, but I’ll definitely buy more once they’re all gone!

Hard Candy Glass On Lock Setting Spray

Yet another thing Shelby Ann got me hooked on! This took me WEEKS to find at my local Walmart, so I’m SO glad I got my hands on it! Hard Candy is super slept on as a brand, and their original setting spray is super nice! This is like that with the same longevity but also with added glow! And not sweaty-looking glow. Trust me, I’m an oily gal and I love the glow this gives my skin, whether I’m going for a natural look or a full glam (or what my version of that is at least). I’ll definitely repurchase once I run out!

Buxom Lash Xtension Lift Tubing Mascara

I’ve already repurchased this several times and will CONTINUE to do so because she really is that girl. I love the shape of the brush, and the bristles really do grab every single lash and make them look amazing. I always curl my lashes first no matter what mascara I use because I sleep oddly and my lashes apparently get crumpled or something in the night, but this has become my go-to, without-fail mascara favorite. I’ve already gone through a few tubes & I still have one back-up left (for now)

Essence Silky Blur Hydrating Longwear Concealer in the shade 80

…yet another Shelby Ann recommendation, and I love it very much! I had to order mine online because my local Ulta didn’t have my shade in stock but OMG IT’S SO GOOD! A little bit goes a long way, it is super hydrating without feeling heavy or cakey and it blends out like a dream whether you use your fingers, a sponge or a brush. It looks so natural while also giving very nice coverage. OBSESSED!

Bdy by Tree Hut Glow Body Buff Polish

This was a surprise/sleeper hit for me and I LOVE it! I’ve never really heard anything about this line besides that it’s an off-shoot of Tree Hut, but this body scrub is fantastic! Tbh, I only got it because it was originally $13 and was like 75% off or something so I got it for less than $3…but it’s SO good that I already bought 2 back-ups (because that price! Are you kidding me?!). It’s a very nice & gentle scrub that lathers up every so slightly and turns into a slightly milky texture as you wash it off. It’s so nice and not abrasive but still leaves your skin silky smooth. I love it SO so much & I hope you do, too!

Megan Thee Stallion Hot Girl Summer Eau de Parfum

Often times celebrity lines, especially fragrances, can be very eyeroll-enducing, but this one truly is that girl, I swear! It doesn’t smell intoxicating if you spray it on a fragrance strip, but when you put it on you, baby?! PERFECTION! It’s got notes of orchid, coconut & vetiver and it really does make you smell like a hot girl! Like it’s sexy with a big of smokiness from the grounding vetiver & I just am completely obsessed. PLUS the 3 oz bottle is only $84. And the packaging?! I mean LOOK AT IT! This has become my signature scent & I just love it oh so very much

Thayers Exfoliating 2% AHA Toner

…ok listen I just really love Shelby Ann & her recommendations, okay?! I had been looking for a new exfoliating toner and there are simply too many options out there so after I saw her videos talking about Thayers, I figured I’d give this one a try. LOVE! It smells like citrus and it’s just so nice but also so clarifying without being too much or not enough. Idk how to describe it, but I love how it smells and how it makes my skin feel, so I will most definitely be repurchasing this after I run out!

Lolavie Speed Dry Heat Protectant Spray

This was yet another surprising favorite because I just had no interest in trying Jennifer Aniston’s haircare line…but this is SO good! This is the travel size that I got in gratis a few months ago at work, and I got so hooked on it that I just bought the full-size for when I run out because I NEED to have it always now. I have very thick, coarse hair & when I use this after the L’oreal Laminating Mask in the shower, I can blow dry my hair in less than 10 minutes. That used to take me at least 30-45 minutes!! I mean come on, that’s a huge difference! It doesn’t have a strong scent, and you can also use it on dry hair before you blow dry, curl, whatever. There’s no hold to it, which I prefer, and I truly can’t say enough good things about it!

TONYMOLY Wonder Ceramide Mochi Toner

Since I’m a combo oily gal, I wanted a toner that would gently exfoliate my skin but I also wanted one that would add some hydration back in to help my skin stay balanced. I mean tbh you don’t need to use 2 toners at ALL, but I’m extra so here we are and I LOVE this one! Besides the face that it’s a giant bottle, it’s just super hydrating and it makes your skin feel SO juicy and plump. I use the Thayers toner first and then this afterwards and I feel like it truly balances my skin out perfectly before I add any serums or moisturizers. This will last me metaphorically FOREVER & I’m really psyched about it

Remedy Super Stacked Dark Spot Correcting Treatment

Someone on TikTok recommended this & I can’t remember who (not Shelby Ann this time, I swear!) & I picked it up because I’ve been wanting to work on the texture and dark spots/acne spots on my face. I only use this at night, but it’s very nice! I feel like I have definitely noticed a difference in the few weeks I’ve been using it so if that continues, I’ll definitely repurchase!

Anastasia Beverly Hills Archibrow Pencil in the shade Medium Brown

I’m super grateful I got this as gratis at my job because I straight up thought that I would HATE this based on the packaging & the fact that there’s no cap to it, but I’ve genuinely really been loving it lately! It’s SUPER fine and precise but somehow still looks really nice and natural on the brows. I don’t go for a super dramatic brow look or anything; I just like to fill in the more sparse areas of my brows and call it good, and this is amazing stuff! I mean, it’s a brow pencil but I have really been liking it! It applies much more smoothly than I remember the other Anastasia pencils I’ve used in the past, but I might not repurchase it just because the price is higher than I typically like to spend on brow products. But it is a fantastic brow pencil!

About-Face Blush Rush Fluid Blush in the shades Jump Start & Hot Lap

Ok if you can’t tell how much I love About-Face by now, idk what to tell you. These liquid blushes are SO nice and what I wanted the Rare Beauty blushes to be. I feel like these are just pigmented enough where you can build them up a bit to get a more bold look but you can also sheer them out nicely with your fingertips, a brush or a sponge to give you that no-makeup makeup look. They have a bunch of neutral shades but of COURSE the hot pink & purple shades are my fave. They’re also super long lasting and I want more shades (but I don’t need them…but whatevs, yolo)
