I only use these two Mixsoon minis when I’m traveling, but I love the Bean Cream so much, I’m considering getting the full size for my everyday routine when I finish my current moisturizer. I have mixed thoughts about the Centella Cleansing Foam because it’s a gentle and minimalistic formula, but I

Retinol is a strong skincare ingredient and it should not be mixed with certain skincare ingredients or else it will cause irritation. Do not mix retinol with AHAs, BHAs, and benzoyl peroxide because they’re exfoliants. Retinol also shouldn’t be mixed with vitamin C, but it can be paired with hyalu

My hair essentials for taming flyaways are the Trader Joe's Hair Oil, SNTE Hair Wax Stick, and &honey Matomake Melty Hair Stick 4.0 Super Hold, which are all super affordable and less than $15! I use the SNTE Hair Wax Stick when I'm putting my hair up/ back and I use the &honey hair

There are multiple skincare ingredients for pore care that I had to make two parts. Part one is about AHA, BHA, and clay. Another skincare ingredient for pore care is niacinamide as it controls oil production and helps with the appearance of pores. Hyaluronic acid doesn’t necessarily treat pores, b

Two important skincare ingredients for pore care are AHA and BHA. AHA works by exfoliating the top layer of your skin, so debris doesn’t enter your pores, while BHA (salicylic acid) dissolves sebum and dead skin cells in your pores. Another skincare ingredient for pore care is clay (like a clay mas

You should apply retinol at night. In fact, do not apply during the day because UVs can decrease how effective retinol is, make it easier to sunburn, and lead to skin irritation. Sunlight breaks down retinol, so applying it during the day is basically a waste. Retinol is just not effective at night

Wedding days are long and you’re gonna need to touch up your makeup whether you’re a bride or wedding guest. Two affordable products for makeup touch ups are the NYX HD Finishing Powder ($12) and blotting sheets (I got a pack of 4 on Amazon for $7). The NYX powder leaves a matte, satin-like finish

My favorite hairspray is the Sebastian Professional Shaper Hairspray. The price varies depending on the retailer ($30 max), but my friends and I get this from TJ Maxx for $11. I love this because it doesn’t weigh my hair down or make it super stiff (unless obviously I’m spraying an excessive amount

You guys are sleeping on this hair oil from Trader Joe’s and lowkey me too (it’s supposed to be yellow but I recently moved and lost it until recently so it oxidized but it still works perfectly the same). This is only $6 at Trader Joe’s and I’ve heard it been called a dupe for Ouai. It’s lightweig

Elevating a classic french tip nail is so easy. All I do is do them with color. I’ve never done a white french tip and I don’t think I ever will. If that’s what you like, go for it! But I love adding color, usually pink. These were my birthday and graduation nails and I wanted mine to stand out som

Body lotions and body butters are both used for moisturizing skin, but they’re slightly different. Body lotions are water-based and used for daily hydration. My favorite lotion is from EOS in Strawberry Dream, but they have so many good scents. Body butters are oil-based and a thicker consistency,

I have recently become obsessed with Saltair’s Coral Coast scent with its notes of coconut, water lily, and guava. I also love the Viktor&Rolf Flowerbomb collection. Ruby Orchid has notes of peach accord, ruby orchid, and vanilla bean. Wearing Coral Coast in the body butter or body oil form moi

Sol De Janeiro 62 and Viktor&Rolf Flowerbomb Tiger Lily are summer as a scent. Sol De Janeiro has pistachio and almond in the top note. Viktor&Rolf Flowerbomb Tiger Lily has notes of coconut milk accord, tiger lily accord, mango accord, and benzoin. These both have warm, tropical fragrance

The notes for Glossier You are pink pepper, iris, ambrette, and ambrox. This is “my skin but better” perfume. Honestly, this scent can be paired with basically everything. The notes for Kayali Vanilla 28 are vanilla orchid, tonka absolute, and amber woods. This is a warm vanilla scent. These two pe

Yes, it is necessary to wear sunscreen everyday as UV exposure can break down collagen and elastin, which leads to aging. Even on rainy or cloudy days, UVs can penetrate through clouds and when you’re indoors, it can penetrate through windows. Wearing sunscreen limits wrinkles and hyperpigmentation
