Living Proof Perfect Hair Day Dry Shampoo
The best dry shampoo I’ve ever tried!  My favorite thing to do is spray it at all over my roots and then put my hair up in a high bun with a silk scrunchie before I go to bed.  It absorbs oil while you sleep and you wake up with fresh, volumized hair!  If you want to test it out, I recommend getting the mini size.

Tarte Fake Awake Eyeliner
Use this on your lower waterline to give you a more wide-eyed look.  This universal nude blends perfectly so you instantly look more awake (no caffeine needed!).

Dr. Brandt Microdermabrasion Exfoliator
I would never buy this at full-price because it is pretty spendy, so I stock up when it’s on sale because it’s one of my holy grail skincare must-haves.  I have a friend who religiously gets facials and she told me that after she started using this, she doesn’t have to go as often!

Dr. Jart+ Cryo Rubber Mask
I realize this looks like the creepiest face mask ever, but the results are nothing short of amazing!  I got the pink one with Collagen (Firming) and found it to have a dewy, plumping effect on my skin.  I plan on ordering the Brightening Vitamin C mask next to see if I like it just as much.

Charlotte Tilbury Hollywood Flawless Filter
This is one makeup product I can’t live without – I apply it before my CC Cream (currently 30% off!) for a lit-from-within radiant glow.  I also use it on days when I’m going makeup free because it provides just a bit of coverage with a dewy finish (I use Light/Medium).

It Cosmetics Makeup Primer
I don’t know what the “All Day Grip Technology” is that they put in this, but it is no joke!  My makeup does not budge at all when I apply this first.  I usually get a little shiny in my T-zone area by the late afternoon, but not since I’ve been using this!  If you have dry skin, I would recommend this primer instead as it’s more moisturizing.

Anastasia Beverly Hills Brow Wiz
The best eyebrow pencil on the market – the superfine tip allows you to create realistic looking hair strokes.  I used to wear Soft Brown, but now that my hair is blonder, I’ve been using Taupe.

Olaplex No 4 Bond Maintenance Shampoo
I use this every other time I shampoo and it has helped my hair look so much more healthy & shiny.  Because I use a lot of volumizing products that can be drying on hair, this has become an essential part of my weekly routine to repair & strengthen.

Hourglass Veil Translucent Setting Powder
I love the texture of this powder because it melts right into the skin and gives an airbrushed finish.  It comes in a mini size too, which I bought first to make sure I liked it before getting the full size version.

Farmacy Cheer Up Brightening Eye Cream
This formula is so creamy and soothing – even though I will always have dark circles (thanks to genetics), I do feel like this has helped them be less noticeable.  Plus, it’s seriously hydrating so any crepey-ness is gone!

Hourglass Ambient Lighting Bronzer
Bronzers are so tricky because if they’re too matte or too orange or too brown, they don’t come off as natural.  I tried so many before landing on this one, which has a radiant sun-kissed finish & blends flawlessly (I use Radiant Bronze Light).  This is another product that also comes in a mini size to try out first!
