Wake Up Call
I have been through a lot of deodorants as I sweat a lot, but I love this, especially for an aluminum free product. Its affordable, has refillable inserts to reduce plastics, and the plastic that is used is recyclable.
Refillable Deodorant - Black Tide | Saltair
Not only is it a great product, but its sustainability offers an economical advantage as well! Get better use of your preferred eye cream with this mask.
Forever Eye Mask | Dieux Skin
Great match to the forever eye masks. They even have refill options for lesser cost which also reduce plastic waste!
Auracle Eye Serum | Dieux Skin
I use this as a second layer of day time moisturizer and my primary face SPF. I went through a few different options but I found this to be a good balance between texture without any weird smells. *It can have a white cast.
CeraVe Face Moisturizer with Sunscreen, AM Facial Moisturizing Lotion for Normal to Dry Skin - SPF 30 - 3 fl oz
LIghtweight moisturizer, perfect as a base layer before SPF and makeup.
Air Angel Gel Cream | Dieux Skin
I'm not big on full coverage makeup so I love that not only does it offer another layer of SPF but a light glowy moisturizing effect. They have also started selling a matte version (though I have not tried that one).
Universal Tinted Moisturizer SPF 46 | DRMTLGY
If there is one thing I use every time I go out, its mascara, and this is my go-to. Amplifies well, but doesn't look clumpy. Removes easily when washing your face.
Black Big Look Extreme Mascara with Argan Oil - PÜR | Ulta Beauty
This has become my ride or die concealer. I don't wear a lot of make up but I always have dark circles under my eyes. Make me look so much less tired. Plus the have a pretty wide range of tones.
Revlon ColorStay 5-in-1 Concealer, 010 Vanilla
Nothing too fancy but I like the color and the formula goes on smooth!
Lip Liner, Retractable Waterproof - Naked | Palladio
Perfect for reapplying during they day, even over makeup. Also, don't forget your hairline/part!
Sun Bum Face Mist - 3.4 fl oz - SPF 45
I consider this my daytime perfume. I get pretty picky about vinillia scents as they either smell too sweet or too buttery. This one hits all the right notes at all the right levels.
Fresh Cream Warm Cashmere Eau de Toilette, 2.0 oz - Philosophy | Ulta Beauty
Sure, technically its a cologne, but I've always been a big fan men's smells. This is my night time - going out smell and I stand by it!
La Nuit De L’Homme | Yves Saint Laurent
Lets get ready for Bed
Great to use to apply toner, or take off makeup!
Reusable Makeup Remover Pads | 15 Face Pads
I've been a big fan of Cetaphil facewash for quite sometime. Its gentle cleanser is what I credit for getting rid of my acne as a child. This has be come my go-to as an adult.
Cetaphil Foaming Face Wash for Redness Prone Skin - 8 fl oz
In hopes to age gracefully, I added a retinoid to my routine. I do also have a prescription Tretinoin but I use them interchangeably so that there isn't too many strong active ingratiates being used too often.
Differin Acne Retinoid Treatment Gel Adapalene 0.1% - 45g
Love how lightweight this is and perfect for hydration. Sometimes I ware this solo, or I layer with a thick moisturizers in dryer times.
CeraVe PM Moisturizing Lotion, Night Cream for All Skin Types - 3 fl oz
I use this as a second layer as a night time moisturizer. Thicker so may not be great for more oily skin types, but very hydrating.
Cetaphil Moisturizing Cream Hydrating Body Moisturizer - 16 fl oz
I like using this product at night before bed as it doesn't block the pores but help continue to combat stank whith other added benefits.
Fragrance Free Serum Deodorant With 5% AHA | Saltair
Other Parts of My Routine
I used to go for cheaper brushed but I found these are much easier to keep clean.
FHI HEAT UNbrush Wet & Dry Detangling Brush
I use the sensitive formula. Best product I've found for pesky lip hair.
Prep & Smooth Facial Hair Removal Cream for Women Sensitive - 1.76 oz | Nair
Not clothes, but a great product during the summer when you're trying to protect your skin and look sun-kissed.
b.tan Violet Self Tanner Kit - Dark Mousse, 6.7oz
My husband started a subscription for me after I kept talking about it (no, it wasn't implying anything). He just knew that it would be helpful in making sure I always changed out my heads. I'm so thankful, because now it one less thing I have to rem...
