Allie Glines's top picks.

The products Allie Glines has crowned best in their category, and brings up again and again.

★ Best face milk
Glazing Milk Ceramide Facial Essence
Rhode Glazing Milk Ceramide Facial Essence
Brought up 11 times
The Rhode glazing milk is one of my all-time favorite skincare products, something I genuinely can't live without. If there's one thing from the skincare lineup that I think you need to try, it's this. It's a holy grail product for me and it deserves an award time and time again. I love it.
★ Best sunscreen
Shade Drops Broad Spectrum SPF 30 Mineral Milk Sunscreen
Summer Fridays Shade Drops Broad Spectrum SPF 30 Mineral Milk Sunscreen
Brought up 8 times
I still by far use my Summer Fridays Shade Drops the most. This is my favorite sunscreen. I'm picky and love a good mineral sunscreen, I've tried all of them, and this was my most used.
★ Best detangling spray
7 Seconds Detangler
Unite 7 Seconds Detangler
Brought up 7 times
If you've got tangly hair, get the Unite detangling spray and then pair it with a Tangle Teezer. You will thank me later, I promise. It's like the best combination.
★ Best makeup applicator
Original
Beautyblender Original
Brought up 6 times
I do feel like the original Beautyblenders have something about them that I love. I love how they apply makeup, and I do think that they are different than other sponges. There is something about the material of the Beautyblender that's just special. For some reason, the black Beautyblender works better than all of them in my opinion. It's supreme, it's the best one. This is definitely not a need though, since there are a lot of other sponges on the market.
★ Best eye cream
Creamy Eye Treatment with Avocado
Kiehl's Creamy Eye Treatment with Avocado
Brought up 5 times
The Kiehl's avocado eye cream is an incredible eye cream for underneath makeup specifically.
★ Best favorite eye cream
Total Eye Lift Firming and Smoothing Eye Cream
Clarins Total Eye Lift Firming and Smoothing Eye Cream
Brought up 5 times
The Clarins Total Eye Lift is the one eye cream that kept sticking into my routine this year. It's very expensive, but it really does make a visible difference. It has the perfect texture and works great day and night and under makeup.

I got mascara all over when I applied the L'Oreal Panorama mascara to my top and bottom lashes. Normally mascara buffs off nicely, but this is a more heavy duty mascara I guess, because that did not remove very easily.
Allie Glines: Nay vs gurus 74% Yay
I don't think it's a need honestly i mean it is cute it's pretty but it's so expensive for what it is i feel like there's just much better out there
Allie Glines: Nay vs gurus 66% Yay
I picked up a Sally Hansen Insta-Dri polish, this one best quick dry polish, and I kind have a bone to pick with this one because I don't actually think that it dries very quickly. This actually took a long time to dry. It kind of has like a thicker formula so maybe I needed to use thinner layers but it's kind of hard to because it's actually like a pretty thick polish formula. The color is really nice that I chose, I chose Buff and Tumble and I really like how it looks. I sat there and I tried to let it dry as long as possible but then I had to get going and I smudged my nail polish and usually that only happens when a polish actually doesn't dry very fast. This compared to like my Lights Lacquer I feel like Lights Lacquer dries way faster than this, even my Olive and June regular polish and I know they have a quick dry version which I've actually never tried but their regular polish I felt like dried faster than this. So I don't personally think that this is the best fast drying nail polish. I like the color and everything but I've experienced better.
Allie Glines: Nay vs gurus 68% Yay
I wanted to use this Sephora um lip liner in the shade dressed to the 9s I was hoping this would be a little more Brown than what it is

"I have heard really good things about this new tubing mascara. The applicator is quite small, which took some getting used to, but it kind of grips the lashes in the best way while still adding good volume. The formula is grippy and buildable, so it builds up quickly but stays very pretty. The smaller applicator is nice on the lower lashes. I think it looks really nice, it built up nicely and gives good volume. We'll obviously see how it wears, but to me that looks really nice. I applied really nicely, I'll have to keep you guys posted on how it ends up working for me as I wear it."

"I love it because it very closely matches my skin tone, so it's really foolproof. This is great for everyday, but also great for a look like this where you want the tones to be something that closely matches your natural skin tone. And that'll give you a really ethereal vibe. Still polished, but nothing like jumpy, you know, no bright bright colors. It'll give like a super soft, effortless vibe and glow to the skin and to the overall look."

"For eyeshadow that I've been really really enjoying a lot lately is this one from Natasha Denona. [...] This one does have some shimmers in it, but it's mostly matte. I love this one for some of these more like pinky cool tone shades. I dip into this palette a lot on like an everyday basis. This might be a little overwhelming for like the everyday user, but if you're like a bridal makeup artist or makeup artist in general, or if you're somebody who likes to switch up your eye looks here and there, I think you would really enjoy this palette."

"I'm going to take this on that same brush and kind of like set the drift eyeliner with this and then use the brush to create a bit of a shadowing. I really love that.

"Volumizing Mascara, which is a really good formula. [...] It's your classic warm brown. Here is the applicator. It's a nice fluffy bristle brush. [...] That's really pretty. I am partial to a brown mascara. I really, really like that. I do feel like this is just me being picky. I almost wish that the brown liner matched the brown of this because the brown mascara against the brown eyeliner makes the eyeliner look black and then it kind of doesn't look as cohesive as what I would want. [...] But do you see what I'm saying? [...] I wish they were more similar so that it would look more cohesive. [...] There's a little bit of fallout from the shimmer shade."

"We are going to now go into this Perfect Strokes Matte Liquid Liner in the shade brown. I'm not the best liquid liner applier, but I'm hoping that this brown shade will be a little more forgiving. The brown seems nice. It's a nice like warm brown color. This is applying really well, though. I genuinely feel like I'm not the best with liquid liners, but it'll do."

"On March 12th, the Lancôme Lash Idôle Mascara is going to be 50% off. I have my eye on the brown one. I love a good brown mascara, and this is one of my favorite formulas of all time. It's such a beautiful mascara. It has a gorgeous curved brush. It's just foolproof. It's what I'm wearing today on my lashes. It's a nice little fluffy everyday mascara. Wears really well. I need a restock of this. It's one of my favorites and it's been in my routine and collection for years. Honestly, since it launched, it's just a really, really good, reliable mascara."

"I'm going to use this one from Makeup by Mario. This is the Master Mattes Longwear Cream Eyeshadow in the shade Taupe. Now, this is a little bit deeper than what I typically go for on an everyday basis, but I think it's going to add something really chic and cool to the look. [...] You'll see it just like deepens the tone slightly around my eyes, but it's not too much of a stark contrast to look unnatural. [...] Just by doing something slightly deeper around the eyes, it adds something special to the look without adding effort because a casual look should not be hard to do. [...] I just like the effect of a cream."

"For mascara, I love this one from Cali Ray. I'm wearing it today. It's going to give you really soft, subtle, fluffy lashes. It's actually a tubing mascara and it has a little brush wand. It's one of the best tubing mascaras. This is great for if you are running around chasing a toddler, you're sweating. Like, it's not going to smudge or flake, which is so important to me. And it's just really subtle. It's really soft and gentle looking on the eyes. It's not overpowering, which I think is great personally for everyday. Easy to remove since it's a tubing mascara. It's really fabulous."

"I grabbed this one that's actually a berry brown from Thrive Cosmetics. It's in the shade Elena. This one has like a little bit of a berry to it, which I thought would be really cool and interesting. I just felt like this would bring a little bit of a cooler twist to a typical everyday look. Feels a little different while still being very wearable. This is such a nice color. I really, really love that hint of berry in there. Because a lot of times brown mascaras are super warm to where it's almost like an orange brown, which is fine, but for me and my skin tone and undertone, I prefer when things have a little bit more of like a neutral leaning cool undertone. I just find that it's the most flattering. This is the prettiest mascara color."

"I recently put this in a favorites video because I've been using the pink shade as kind of like a blush topper/highlighter and it's divine. It's so stunning. I've been loving to just apply it more on the blush, but like highlighter, a little of both. And I've just been putting it on the cheeks and it adds like a pink glow. It's so pretty and it just makes your skin look more like glass skin. It just looks healthy. I typically in the past have really only mixed these top two shades as like a proper highlighter. But the blush topper situation is chef's kiss. So good."

"I like how smooth my lashes are looking. There's zero clumpage, which is nice. It just looks soft and feathery. I could see this being a great everyday mascara for a lot of people. It's just soft and it gently enhances the lashes without them feeling heavy at all. It's extremely lightweight, actually. [...] It's so comfortable. It's very lightweight. Feels like I have nothing on the lashes, which is really nice."

"This is one of my favorite colors. It's from Lisa Eldridge, and it's a gorgeous taupey mauve. [...] It's not too dark, so it's going to brighten up your eyelid, which I think is really pretty.

Yay

"It's not my favorite at the drugstore, I'll be honest, but I can see how some people might really love it if their lashes aren't as long or if their eye shape allows this type of formula to wear. For me personally, I've tried too many that are better, so I don't think I will be wearing this often, or maybe ever again. [...] Smudging with mascara is literally my pet peeve. I can handle a little bit of flaking, which honestly there wasn't any really today at all, but the smudging I can't get past. I don't want to have to worry about my mascara smudging. [...] I'm glad that I gave it a second go around though, because I do feel like shorter lashes might be fine if it's not touching your eyelid."

"I'm wearing the Makeup by Mario one today and it's actually really pretty. It's a little bit softer than what I expected but I feel like it's something that you can wear on an everyday basis.

"These are by far my favorite false lashes ever ever ever. I always feel so beautiful but in such a natural way when I wear these and I literally will forever repurchase these. Do not sleep on these lashes especially if you are somebody who isn't really sure if you're into false lashes and you kind of want to make sure that you have more of a natural look. If you want something to just add volume but look really natural and give you a gorgeous lifted look to your lashes, these are perfection."
Yay

"I'm noticing a tiny bit of smudging only because that's where I knew where to look from yesterday, other than that there's zero flaking, so I would say this wear is actually really well. It would depend on your eye shape and how much your lashes actually touch your eyelid and that may determine how much smudging you get, but I got zero flaking. When you wear a normal amount of this mascara I feel like it works really well. I like how buildable it is. I feel like it is a really good mascara. It's definitely not as buildable up front as some of my other favorite mascaras from the drugstore, but that's okay. I like how separated my lashes were able to look with just about 10 coats. I prefer on the more natural side versus trying to build it up. This one is a little more of an everyday mascara, but that's just my personal preference."

Or maybe I'm out of touch. But there's so many out there and I'm not saying this is not good, but this just seems like maybe the people voting for this haven't tried more shadows."

I'm mostly brown liquid eyeliner that I've been into. The shade is Graham Cracker, they have a few different brown colors, this is like a reddish brown. They had a couple darker brown ones that were actually out of stock so Graham Cracker was my only option but honestly I think it's really pretty."

It's definitely a full full volume mascara so if you don't really like that you might not like this.

I'm wearing mostly this shade and this color on the lid and then I use this one as like a little bit of an eyeliner which I love it has a little bit of like a purple undertone to it so I think it's really pretty. The thing that I think is so cool about these palettes is you get a cream shadow and then a powder next to it that matches so there's really so much you can do with this. I bought the neutrals palette and I actually have been getting more use out of this more blush tone palette which is interesting but I feel like this palette has helped me figure out how to use the formulas a little bit better so I'm excited to revisit the original palette as well but I'm really happy that I picked this up.

This is the Benefit Gimme Brow, it's one of the best. I've used this forever, maybe since high school, and I'll just go in there and add a little bit of volume to my brows with this.

"There is something so special about this palette, Patrick created warm tone shades, it's an all matte palette, and then all cool tone shades, then you've got your two creams. I don't dip into the creams as much as some people do but I still feel like this palette is worth it because you get everything from a bright white all the way down to a dark black matte, the range you can create in here is insane, it's so beautiful.

"I wanted to try this for a long time, the Pillow Talk mascara from Charlotte Tilbury but specifically in the shade dream pop. It was sold out for a minute because I'm pretty sure it went viral on TikTok. Look at this color, it's like a burgundy brown. I wish I would have put this on the top lashes. I have very naturally long eyelashes and this mascara on the top is just doing nothing, which is hard on my lashes. If you can't really see much of my lashes and mine are like pretty beefy, then I don't know. I don't think I'm the biggest fan of that mascara."

"I saw in the Steals category the Sephora Shape and Set Clear Brow Gel. This is twelve dollars, and normally I wouldn't consider Sephora to be like a drugstore option, but the Sephora Collection does have more affordable things, so I wanted to try this because it's a clear brow gel and I'm a fan of clear brow gels. I do feel like the spoolie picked up quite a bit of product, which I don't love when it comes to a brow product, because I feel like it's hard to shape the brow if you've got too much on there. I kind of had to dab off some of that, there was quite a bit that got picked up on the brush. I do like the applicator, besides the amount of product it's a wand which I bet I can work with. This product is setting really nicely."

"One of my all-time favorite palettes is this right here. This is the ColourPop That's Taupe palette. This is one that I go back to every fall. It's a cool toned taupey palette and you just can't go wrong. This is amazing for every day and for a night out. You have like some of those grungy 90s kind of foiled colors in here. You also get a Super Shock Shadow which is a gorgeous topper if you're into that. Plus these mattes make great everyday looks. This is just a really nice one and done small, very affordable palette that is perfect for fall looks, especially if you're into cool tones."

The nice thing about this is it's not just a fall palette, you could definitely use this year round and get a lot of gorgeous looks out of it. If you're somebody who really enjoys more mauves, purples, and warm tones or oranges and pinks all year round, you would really really love this. There's something about it specifically for fall though that's really special, especially this Vision color, it's like a dual chrome and it is so beautiful all over the lid. It kind of has that magic element to it and that je ne sais quoi where it's just so captivating on the eyes. They have beautiful topper shades and a great mix of mattes in here, and you also get a nice matte black in here as well, so you can create a smokey eye.

I used to just kind of warm it up on the back of my hand a little. I'm just gonna start painting it in the brow, a little more light-handed than what I used to do. This is looking so much more natural than what I remembered in my mind. It definitely takes a lot longer, at least right now since I'm out of practice with this product, takes longer for me than the typical brow pencil, but the results are really nice.

You're not getting extreme volume. It's actually giving a very natural effect. I like it though. I really think this effect would suit somebody who wants more of a soft natural lash look.

"I love how this has a little bit of mauve, actually a lot of mauve, then you have your warm tones. There's a little bit of everything. If you're into cool tones, especially more mauve-leaning cool tones, I think you'd be obsessed with this palette. I love how this look turned out and I can't wait to make more looks with this. I'm not sure how much I'm going to use this cream black shadow, that's just not something I normally use, but that's just me personally. Sometimes that's the case with Huda Beauty palettes, I feel like there's one or two of their more innovative formulas that I never use, but then they have such stunning metallics and things that make it worth it for me to have the palette. I'm honestly a big fan of this. I didn't get to try out every single color in here, I'm excited to continue to dip into it, but I feel like this is such a vibe and I don't feel like I have a palette that does quite this undertone. I have a lot of cool-toned colors and palettes, but I love how this is more of that mauve cool tone, it's so pretty. This is one that I don't feel is a need for maybe everyone, but it definitely is so stunning, that shimmer color is just divine, it's so pretty. I love that you can go for a super natural everyday look with this palette too, so don't be scared that you'll only be able to wear a smokey eye with it. You definitely can create something super soft and everyday appropriate, and then you can amp it up. I'm obsessed, I really enjoyed playing with this palette, I think it's a really nice color story overall."

I'm telling you this is one of the number one tips, it really makes the biggest difference, so apply it to the back of the hand first and then I'm going to take the same brush and you can see it's a little bit more cool tone which is going to create that soft sculpt."

It's patterned after their setting powder with the four different colors inside, but this has like a really beautiful cool tone to it. I love all four shades mixed together, that's the point. So you kind of tap it into the cap or honestly sometimes I just take my brush and like dip it into the pan so it kind of picks up all four colors and then I apply it. This is the blush that I'm wearing today. I just think it's so fresh, it looks so healthy on the skin, leaves a little bit of a glow as well, but it's not sparkly by any means.

"The contour product that I've been basically exclusively using for the past couple of months is this one from Rare Beauty. This is their liquid contour. I have the lightest shade, called Gentle, and it's just great. This one is more cool toned than their others, but once it's applied for me, it actually applies pretty neutral. So I feel like it works as kind of like a sculpting bronzer. Some of the other shades I've heard people say lean much more bronzery, so just keep that in mind. It might not be a contour product for everyone, but I just take a little bit of that on the back of my hand and apply my contour higher than I used to. Once you blend it in, you can see it still sculpts, but it lifts. I've been doing that with this. I do my contour prior to my concealer, especially for everyday. I just feel like it's easier. It allows me to be a little bit messy with the contour and then I can clean up everything after I apply it."

"I'm going to give it a yellow because I think it's really fun, it's cute, it's fun to try if you're interested in it, but it's definitely going to give a very specific look so you kind of have to ask yourself like is this my vibe, do I like no makeup makeup looks, do I want the cheeks stain kind of an effect. If that's not your vibe, you're obviously not going to really enjoy this, but if it is, it's definitely a very high quality lip and cheek stain that I think you're going to have a lot of fun with. It's going to be easy to apply, so if you do choose to buy it and this is your vibe, I think you won't be disappointed.

It's more of the feel that's more different so you're going to get the same effect with this but it's just a different experience when you compare the two. I think a tool like this though is so handy and so good to have especially if you're a makeup artist as well. It's always nice to have some sort of a puff to kind of have on your finger while you're doing eye makeup or something because you can rest it onto your client's face without like disturbing the makeup underneath.

"We're going to take that Rare Beauty powder. This is in the shade Opal, which is the lightest shade. It literally looks like paper in the pan, but it doesn't go on that light on the skin. It definitely brightens me though, which I like. So we're going to take this in the areas that I have larger pores just to smooth everything out. This is my greatest hack of my life is to apply powder after setting spray for truly airbrushed but still natural looking skin."

"It's a transferproof setting spray that locks your makeup in place for 16 hours with a natural finish no touch-ups needed and it has an ultra fine mist. There's also green tea and aloe vera in it. The mist is very fine on this but it also packs a punch, it's kind of a nice in between. It doesn't have an overpowering scent, just smells like basic setting spray.

"This is one of my favorites from the drugstore and my favorites in general. It went viral when it launched. I've heard from people that they don't wear foundation every day anymore but when they do need to wear it they always use this foundation, it's been their go-to for years since it first launched. People have tried other foundations but always come back to this one because it's so good. I've heard from people who are 40 years old with dry and dehydrated skin and this foundation does not show any dry patches, does not exaggerate fine lines and wrinkles, and doesn't separate or pill. One person wore it to a wedding in humid Hawaii during their rainy season and it didn't melt off their face like they thought it would. It's truly one of the best drugstore foundations out there."

"It's really beautiful, very fresh, no makeup makeup like your skin but insanely better type of a product. So if you're looking for something to put all over the skin to just even out the skin tone but you're not wanting a foundation look, I think you would really like something like this. The cons for me are that there's fragrance in this which I don't love, however I didn't notice it lingering on my skin which is really nice. I'm going to give this a yellow because of the price tag. I feel like it would potentially be a yellow green, but I think I'm going to have to work with it a little bit more. The initial feel of this is kind of funny. If you've tried this and it's not working out for you, ask yourself if you've used a brush because I feel like this blended out with my fingertips was not as seamless. I feel like this would really really help if you have a dense flat top brush to kind of break up those beads a little bit more. It just didn't melt into each other the way that I would have wanted, but the brush helped that."

I ate a sandwich with it, too, and it didn't rub off. It's also pretty transferproof. I would say it's a good longwear formula. I actually really like it on the cheeks, too. The formula is definitely comfortable longwear. You do kind of feel it on the lips more than a lip balm or something like that, but that's to be expected with something longwear that's not like a stain. My lips feel comfortable still. They're not feeling overly dry or crusty, just balanced. They're also not super hydrated. It's something right in the middle, but that's to be expected with a more longwear formula. I like it."

"I think it smells better than the scent in here, but that's just my personal preference. This is a spa fragrance in a little aromatherapy pen and so I feel like it's actually a really nice scent.

I'm just not somebody who really does the whole aromatherapy pen right now in my life. If you're somebody who finds yourself using aromatherapy products you might really enjoy this, but for me it's not something that I would repurchase. It's not something that I would buy over and over again based off my first impressions. The fragrance is nice but I feel like potentially because of that citrus note at the top, as the day goes on these are the types of fragrances that could potentially give me more of like that slight headache just because of that kind of strong citrus top note.

"This is one of my favorite skincare products that I've used for years and years. This is a really beautiful, definitely splurgey product, but if you're looking for something that's very anti-aging and soothing at the same time, for me it's not too intense for being a retinol oil, probably because it's like mixing a hydrating oil with a retinol. This is one of my favorites, and 50% off is a really good excuse to restock or try it out in my opinion."

It makes my skin look so healthy. It's wonderful for those mornings when you wake up and feel like you didn't sleep enough or didn't drink enough water and your skin just looks dull; this virtually revives that. I noticed a pattern: I would wake up, use the serum, do my skincare, and before I put makeup on I'd look in our big kitchen mirror and think, 'Wow, my skin looks really nice.' I figured out that every time I wore this in the morning, that's when I thought that about myself. It has milk protein extract, hydrolyzed collagen, and elastin, and my skin seems to really love it.

I've also been using the microcurrent level, I only use it on the lowest level, I'm working my way up to the higher levels. It does microcurrent, which is for firming your muscles, airshot mode, which is the electric needles for your pore elasticity, I haven't really played around with that one as much, and then booster mode is the one that helps your skincare absorb deeper into the skin. It also has light therapy in there. I've been really, really loving this, and I think because it has so many different functions, I've been using it a lot more consistently.

If you're wanting to carry that whole vibe with you, you might really enjoy this, and I actually do think the formula itself is beautiful. What I would hope for in the future from Rare Beauty is to make a fragrance-free version, because I really feel like that would be something that I would use a little more often so I could pair it with some of my personal favorite fragrances and not feel like it competes. I'm not somebody who likes to commit every day to one fragrance. I love switching it up, so that's my only con with that.

"I chose the shade 1C in the Versed multi serum skin tint, and I think it's actually a teeny bit light for me, but it ended up looking totally fine. Once I warmed it up with a bit of bronzer and blush, it actually is a good match for me and I don't feel like it's emphasizing my pores too much, so I'm going to keep using it. It looks so skin like, like my skin is still shining through."

"I love this sunscreen. It's their UV Clear SPF 46. It's from EltaMD and I'm obsessed with this. Doesn't break me out. It goes on white, but then when you rub it in, it's really easy. Feels like a moisturizer. So it's hydrating. Super hydrating."

"It's the best sunscreen out there for me, you just can't go wrong with this. I love it so much. I love the texture of this. I think it blends into the skin seamlessly. It's my favorite for the face and for the body. It's a baby sunscreen from Pipet, it's SPF 50, and it just leaves the most beautiful finish on the skin. I started using this when I was pregnant with my daughter and I actually now use it on her and I still use it on myself. It's so good. It's a mineral sunscreen, and after trying dozens, it's been my personal favorite."

"I have worn this a couple times and I really do like it so far. I got mine in the shade 14N. The packaging is so cute on this. This skin tint has SPF in it, it's SPF 30, but it is a chemical sunscreen so just wanted to point that out if you're sensitive. I typically am sensitive or more sensitive to chemical sunscreens, however Super Goop, I feel like their products work really well for my skin, so that's why I bought this initially because I just wanted the tint. I had heard some really good things about it and it really is such a pretty product. It kind of leaves a bit more of a dewy finish, but it's not like glowy, it's not sparkly. It just has a really nice healthy glow."

"I still can't stop reaching for this C Tint and Protect SPF50 Tinted Serum. This stuff is so good. I think what keeps me reaching for it is not only does it have SPF in here but the finish that it gives, the coverage that it gives, and the shade match is so good for me right now. It has a little bit of a runny consistency which means I feel like it just blends into the skin so beautifully. I love this because it really just kind of evens out the redness in my skin but it still looks like skin, which for me for every day is why I feel like I keep reaching for it."

"This is the Bumble and Bumble Hairdresser's Invisible Oil Heat/UV Protective Primer. It's like a heat protecting spray which is so nice but it's really lightweight which I love. It's really hydrating, it protects the hair, it's great on wet or dry hair which I love, but it doesn't weigh the hair down. So if I want to blow dry my hair but I want a little bit of a heat protectant added in there, I go for this. And I also use it on dry hair if I'm going to go in with a hot tool. It smells really good too."

"This next thing is a sunscreen. What I used it for is when I'm on vacation and I want my makeup to last, I actually love it as a primer even though it's sunscreen. This is the Supergoop Unseen Sunscreen, it's their clear, like, chemical sunscreen. You guys know I love to stick to mineral sunscreens usually, but I do use this one for certain situations. This has a really beautiful texture, it's very smoothing. I don't know what it is about this, you guys, but this makes my makeup last so much longer, especially in like humid, hot weather, so I always pack this on vacation with me as my primer."

It's more of like a champagne kind of pearly pink which for my fair skin I love.

"This is one of my favorite everyday products, the RMS Supernatural Radiance Serum with SPF 30 in the shade light Aura. It's all mineral sunscreen and the reason why I love this so much, especially for a 5 minute face, is because it evens out the skin tone, adds a little bit of glow, and also has sunscreen in it. It kind of does everything. It evens out my skin tone in a way where I feel like I don't need foundation, so on quick makeup look days this product checks off so many of my boxes and it just helps minimize so many steps for me. I'm just working this into the skin using my fingers and you can see it looks so healthy already. This is honestly a product that I wear on its own if I have no time to do my makeup. I will slap this on with a little baseball cap and I feel like it just helps me feel more polished without any effort. This is a great running errands product, maybe you're dropping your kids off at school or summer camps, and you just need a quick fix and pick me up. This is perfect. I love it."

"My favorite sheet masks, I always get on Amazon. This is the Biodance Bio-Collagen Real Deep Mask. It's so good. This one's also viral, and for a good reason, honestly. This one says it's hydrating, pore minimizing, and firming. And these are the ones that you can leave on for like 3 to 4 hours. Some people leave them on overnight. I feel like it's just not practical for me to do that necessarily, but if you sleep on your back perfectly, you can try it overnight, I'm sure you'd see great results. For me, 3 to 4 hours is great. I'll just pop this on right after my babies go to sleep for the night. Usually I have like 3 hours or so before I'm ready to sleep. So good."

I used to use it all the time back in like 2017, 2018, back then my skin was super acne prone. I [...] do remember really liking this, but I don't remember it being this good.

It's like one of those products that gives you basically instant results, which is always amazing when it comes to skincare products.

"The K18 Airwash Dry Shampoo really works, like super works. It's a very different format. It actually is like a spray liquid, so you kind of hold it further back. It gets your hair wet, which feels counterintuitive for a dry shampoo. Sometimes if I'm in a pinch, I will blow dry it to make it dry quicker. Other times I'll spray it before I hop into the shower for a body rinse and then by the time I'm out it's kind of set. But it really really works. It makes you feel like you just washed your hair, but also gives you a nice texture and grip and volume. It feels clean. It's expensive, which is dumb, but it's really good. I've been very impressed by it."

"I have used Aquis hair towels since the beginning of time and I love them so much but I recently tried out their newest style and I'm even more in love. It's way better than it used to be. It used to have like a button on the end and then you would try to fasten it. This just has a little elastic that you can use, it's way better. But this essentially just wicks away moisture really quickly in the hair, which allows your hair to stay more strong. Wet hair is weak hair, so the faster you can kind of wick away the moisture without drying it, the better, and that's what these are for. I've noticed a difference when I use those, plus it wicks away moisture so fast that I feel like it cuts my hair dry time in like half, which is really great."

"I love the Tower 28 SOS Daily Rescue Facial Spray. This is beautiful, especially if you have acne-prone skin. I honestly wish I had this during my intense acne days because I feel like it would have really come in handy, but I love having it anyways even though I don't always have active breakouts. It's nice if I'm feeling like I've got a little bit of texture or something like that. This is so beautiful and it just is great for sensitive skin. You don't have to worry about that if you have sensitive skin. So it's just a nice little spray all over the face. I have loved it. It's beautiful."

"I tried a new perfume today, [...] the Prada Paradox one, and it smells really nice. I wanted something a little more classic, floral, fresh, and it definitely is, but it's warmer too, which is good. But I really like it. I don't always get around to all the perfumes I receive because I stick to the classics [...] I love the most, but I'm glad I tried this one on. It's actually really nice."

"I've been wearing Jo Malone Ginger Biscuit. [...] It is fantastic. It is my favorite holiday scent. I finally got my hands on a full-size bottle this year because they have sold out the past two years that I've tried to get it, and it is divine. So I smell like the holidays. This just smells like Christmas, but in the best way, the most sophisticated, luxurious way. It's so good."

"Chanel No. 5 is actually one of the closest perfumes according to my research. It has stayed the most similar to when it first launched. I think this smells so good. When I first smelled this back in the day when I was younger, I didn't like it. I feel like my taste was different at the time. Now that I'm in my 30s, this feels so classy to me and I really love it and I feel like I need to maybe one day treat myself to a bottle of No. 5 because I just feel like it's a right of passage almost to own Chanel No. 5."

"Glossier You used to be my ride or die favorite everyday perfume I wore it several years ago I still love the fragrance. It smells really good. Honestly it smells a lot like the Letia 22 Orus, so I already have something very similar, but there is that Glossier You undertone which I like. I'm honestly glad that I bought the travel size though I don't know if I'll get the full size because I already have a full size of something pretty similar with that Letia fragrance, but it is very nice. I do like it and I've heard a lot of good things about it."

"The packaging is so cute. I just keep these out in my bathroom and then it has like little applicators inside and you just pick one up and it's soaked in like a serum and you apply it all over. I use this morning and night. I really really loved this one. It has done a good job kind of evening out my skin and brightening things up."

"Fenty skin fat water this year this is the hydrating milky toner Essence I keep this downstairs which is why I haven't used quite as much as I do my other toners because this is what I use to prep my skin for makeup and it is so beautiful it really does prep the skin perfectly it hydrates the skin and it leaves it just feeling cleansed and ready for makeup so I keep this down here for my makeup prep. I use this first and then I go in with the moisturizer and then makeup."

"This is the Fenty Beauty Fat Water Hydrating Milky Toner Essence. She used it on me when she did my makeup so I bought it. I've actually never really tried Fenty skin products before, but I really am loving this. It's only been a few days of me trying this but it just really plumps up the skin. It's such a beautiful formula. I've actually been using this as my nighttime toner as well but I might end up keeping it down here like in my filming room just to prep makeup with. I really enjoy it though."

"I got these Press-On Nails from Kiss on Amazon. I was influenced by my sister who was wearing them and I was like, where'd you get your nails done, and she said these are press-on from Kiss. I feel like a new woman. These are definitely longer than what I would normally go for and typically I paint my natural nails so I don't often do press-on, but she convinced me. I really like how they look and I do feel like I have a new personality with these on. I could do better next time about gluing them, I'm a newbie with press-on so I'm not the best, and I feel like I picked the wrong size on a couple of my nails, but overall from a distance they look really nice. It's so much cheaper than getting your nails done. I usually just paint my own nails personally, but I know how much it is to get your nails done especially on a regular basis, and I really am happy with how these look."

"I picked up a Sally Hansen Insta-Dri polish, this one best quick dry polish, and I kind have a bone to pick with this one because I don't actually think that it dries very quickly. This actually took a long time to dry. It kind of has like a thicker formula so maybe I needed to use thinner layers but it's kind of hard to because it's actually like a pretty thick polish formula. The color is really nice that I chose, I chose Buff and Tumble and I really like how it looks. I sat there and I tried to let it dry as long as possible but then I had to get going and I smudged my nail polish and usually that only happens when a polish actually doesn't dry very fast. This compared to like my Lights Lacquer I feel like Lights Lacquer dries way faster than this, even my Olive and June regular polish and I know they have a quick dry version which I've actually never tried but their regular polish I felt like dried faster than this. So I don't personally think that this is the best fast drying nail polish. I like the color and everything but I've experienced better."

"This is the Solo Wave Skin Care Wand with Red Light Therapy. [...] This one doesn't have an on and off button, [...] it's kind of finicky that way. I'm so happy they changed it honestly because it was one of my least favorite parts about using this. [...] Now you get a power button for on and off. [...] This has microcurrent, it has red light therapy, it warms the skin, it feels incredible, and it's just a really easy way to incorporate amazing skincare into your routine. [...] A lot of my skincare devices take a lot of time and so I feel like I have to really set aside like a spa night to do a full treatment, [...] but this one's a really easy one to incorporate every day. I love how it kind of goes side to side so you can customize the direction you're using this. The microcurrent smooths fine lines over time. Red light therapy is one of my favorite therapies ever. It helps with hyperpigmentation, it helps with collagen production. It's a [...] magical little wand."

"My most used skin device was the CurrentBody LED therapy mask, the Series 2. It fits the face so beautifully and is fabulous. Since I was pregnant all year I couldn't use microcurrent, [...] so LED was one I could use, [...] and it works so well and improves your skin over time."

"Shani Darden's retinol is my favorite right now. The retinol reform is incredible, it's so beautiful, it really really does the trick. It's very gentle but you notice amazing results, at least I did. If you've never tried a retinol you really should. I feel like that is an ingredient and a product that has made one of the biggest difference in my skin tone and texture just over the years. So highly recommend looking into a retinol, and the Shani Darden is one of my number ones."
