When I shop the sale, I like to do a mix of stocking up on my favorites plus trying out some new products. So I’m going to do the same in this post! Know that anything I share today is something I personally recommend from the sale. I’ll split it into things I use daily, and then other skincare and makeup that I love, a few tools, and some extras, too.

Daily Skincare

These are the products I use day in and day out – the staples of my routine.

Dr. Idriss Soft Wash Jelly Cleanser: I use this when washing my face in the morning – it’s a great, unscented, gentle gel cleanser that gets my skin clean without overly stripping it, and doesn’t make my eyes sting and burn.

Paula’s Choice Resist Weightless Advanced Repairing Toner: I use this twice a day after cleansing. It adds a bit of moisture back into my skin, plus niacinamide and peptides to help with skin texture, fine lines, and enlarged pores. It’s a liquid, and I love how lightweight it is.

Lion Pose Unspotted 4X Serum: I’ve been using this every other night for the last few months, and it’s been really effective at lightening my post-acne scars and helping even out my overall skin texture. I’m honestly really impressed with it!

Dieux Deliverance Serum: This is a powerhouse of an overall serum. My skin has just looked better since using it – it helps calm down the redness and soothes my skin, and just makes it look overall more even.

Dieux Air Angel: I have oily skin, so I always look for a lightweight, gel-based moisturizer. This one adds just the right amount of moisture, plus it sinks into my skin so nicely.

GrandeLash Lash Serum: I have been using this for over three years now, and I love it. My eyelashes are noticeably longer, and I’m down to using it every other day to maintain the growth. I haven’t had any irritation at all.

Kosas Serum Deodorant: I was never a natural deodorant user until I tried this. It really works – I have no odor – and it doesn’t irritate my armpits at all. I love how nicely it rolls on!

Daily Makeup

Fenty Pro Filt’r Soft Matte Foundation: This is a great foundation for oily skin. It looks natural but is buildable, it lasts all day, and doesn’t separate on my face even after hours and hours of wear.

Rare Beauty Soft Pinch Liquid Blush: I love this blush – just a tiny dot or two on my cheeks and I have a natural but noticeable flush that lasts all day. I have this in a few different shades and love them all.

Glossier Boy Brow Gel: On a day-to-day basis, I just wear a brow gel, and this one is my favorite. It’s natural and easy to apply – the brush is nice and small – and it wears all day without smearing.

Tarte XL Tubing Mascara: My sister recommended this mascara to me, and I’ve been loving it. Because it’s tubing, it doesn’t smear, smudge, or flake off all day long, even on my oily skin. But it’s still really easy to take off (I use micellar water), and it’s way less irritating to my eyes to remove.

Other Makeup and Skincare

These are products I use and love, just not necessarily every single day.

Bobbi Brown Cream Eyeshadow Sticks: These are foolproof! I am not great at fancy eyeshadow looks, but I love that I can draw this on, smudge it a bit, and have a really nice look with very little effort. I especially love the shimmery shades.

Glossier Brow Flick: When I want a little bit of a bolder brow, I use this brow pen before my gel. It creates really small, realistic looking flicks to give me just a little more oomph.

Rare Beauty Pressed Powder: I keep this with me when I’m out and about, and it’s a great way to get rid of shine and add a little more coverage while on the go. It layers over my makeup really nicely, and doesn’t have any weird texture issues! I love how compact it is, too.

Urban Decay 24/7 Eyeliner Pencil: I have this in black plus a few bright colors, and I love how easily and smoothly it glides on. And once it’s set, it does not budge! It’s truly impressive.

My favorite lip products: I have a slight obsession with lip products. I just love them! I’m going to share a bunch of my favorites; you can’t go wrong with any of these.

• Rare Beauty Lip Oil
• Tarte Maracuja Juicy Lip
• Clinique Black Honey Almost Lipstick and Black Honey Lip Gloss
• Fenty Poutsicle
• Charlotte Tilbury Pillow Talk
• Summer Fridays Lip Butter Balm
• Glossier Ultralip
• Fenty Gloss Bomb

Drunk Elephant C-Luma Vitamin C Serum: This is an alternate form of vitamin c that’s more stable and less irritating to people like me who have sensitive, acne prone skin. I don’t remember to use this every day, but I do like how bright my skin looks when I use it consistently.

Dr. Idriss Depuffer Serum: Again, I don’t remember to use this daily, but I love how accessible this roll-on serum is! When I do remember to use it, I can see a noticeable difference in the redness of my skin, and in my puffiness when I wake up. It’s really great for sinus swelling / allergies too!

Touchland Hand Sanitizer: This fits perfectly in my bag, and the fact that it’s a spray, rather than a liquid, makes it much easier for me to rub on my hands without it dripping all over everything as I try. Plus the sandalwood scent is so good!

JVN Air Dry Cream: I kind of use this as a lightweight gel. Anytime I braid my hair, I put this in when I take the braids out to lock in the waves. It also works to smooth and de-frizz day two (or three – no judgements) wavy hair.

Luna Daily Spray: I just wrote a whole post about this! I like to use it on days I don’t shower to make sure I still feel clean and refreshed.

Tools

These are the skincare and hair tools I use and love.

Foreo Luna Mini: I wash my face every single day with this, and even take it with me when I travel. It gets my skin clean without irritating it, and is so much easier for me to use than a washcloth or my hands. It’s kind of pricey but mine has lasted for over five years – maybe closer to 10? – and is still going strong.

Shark FlexStyle: This has totally changed the way I style my hair for the better. I can get loose, blowout-like waves with the curling attachment, and it’s super ligthweight and easy to hold. I recommend this to everyone I know in person!

FlexStyle Frizz Fighter Attachment: This is one of those products that you can really only tell how good it is in person, not on a camera. But I use it at the end of a blow dry, and any frizz or flyaways are just GONE, like magic.

T3 Featherweight: If I’m using a straight blowdryer, this is my go-to. It’s powerful enough for my thick hair, but not damaging at all – my hair looks nice and smooth when I use it. Plus, it lasts for years.

Dermaflash Dermaplaning Tool: I don’t own this one, but it’s on my own list to buy! I’ve been wanting to try out dermaplaning, and I like how this tool seems more gentle and less irritating than the disposable razors.
