Recent beauty purchases

Sharing some recent beauty buys I've been loving over the last couple of months! I found some amazing budget-friendly products, mostly from Dollar Tree and popular skincare brands. One standout is The Face Shop Rice Water Bright cleansing wipes. They’re gentle yet effective at removing makeup and impurities without drying out the skin. Perfect for quick makeup removal days or travel. I also grabbed Lanolips balms, which have been fantastic for keeping my lips hydrated, especially in dry weather. Their non-greasy feel and natural ingredients have made them a staple in my daily routine. For skincare, the Ordinary and elf skincare ranges have been super reliable. I picked up a hyaluronic acid primer from elf that really helps with hydration and makes my makeup apply smoothly. Makeup-wise, the Profusion palette caught my eye for its range of neutral to bold shades, great for everyday looks or more dramatic styles. Also trying out some lippieholic shades from elf, which have good pigmentation and stay power. Finally, I recently discovered some sunscreen products from an advent calendar set that offer great protection and a nice glow. Sunscreen is a must-have in any beauty routine, and finding affordable, effective options is a win. Overall, combining trusted brands’ products with affordable finds like those from Dollar Tree lets me experiment without breaking the bank. If you're looking to build a solid, budget-conscious beauty routine with skincare and makeup essentials, these picks are worth trying out!
