Almost all of the products in this post I’ve continued to repurchase over the years unless they are newer products that I’ve quickly grown to love. I also need to give credit where it is deserved to my favorite beauty gurus Stephanie Ledda and Emily Gemma for their recommendations and online tutorials, so I’ve linked their respective pages for you to check out!

MAKEUP + BRUSHES

#1 ILIA SOFT FOCUS FINISHING POWER — This translucent powder is 100% natural, vegan, cruelty-free, gluten-free, and 50% organic. I use this power my foundation and concealer and it keeps everything in place and shine free.

#2 LAURA MERCIER MATTE RADIANCE BAKED POWDER — I use this product as bronzer, eye shadow and contour in shade Bronze 03. I purchased this last year at the fall sale and a little goes a long way as my brush hasn’t even hit the pan yet.

#3 TATCHA SILK CANVAS PROTECTIVE PRIMER — It’s true, this really is one of the best primers on the market. I actually purchased the $22 mini size back in January and I’ve been using this little container all year.

#4 ANASTASIA BEVERLY HILLS SOFT GLAM EYESHADOW PALETTE — This was the first ABS pallet I ever purchased and it’s by far my favorite for everyday make up. Stephanie Ledda basically turned me into an amateur makeup artist in her youtube tutorials of this pallet here.

#5 HUDA BEAUTY LIQUID MATTE LIPSTICK (MEDUSA) — If I could never wear another lip color again I would die happy – but really. This liquid lipstick is insanely good and I’m so happy my make up artist at the Sephora in Las Vegas introduced me to this product on my bachelorette weekend.

#6 DIORSHOW WATERPROOF MASCARA — Another oldie but a goodie. None of the other mascaras that I try are as amazing as this one.

#7 DIORSHOW MAXIMIZER 3D TRIPLE VOLUME LASH PRIMER — This primer is also very necessary as it intensifies the effects of the Diorshow mascara by making them look longer and more curled.

#8 HOURGLASS VEIL™ POWDER BRUSH — This is by far one of my favorite make up brushes as you can utilizes both ends for so many uses. I originally purchased this brush along with the Hourglass Veil™ Translucent Setting Powder in which I didn’t love, but this brush is so soft and easy to clean and I would highly recommend.

SKIN + HAIR

#9 DR. DENNIS GROSS CLINICAL GRADE IPL DARK SPOT CORRECTING SERUM — As I’m getting closer to 30 I’ve finally figured out what “dark spots” were and that I also needed a way to get rid of them. This clinical grade serum fights discoloration by removing over-pigmented surface cells while brightening the skin tone. Definitely a splurge but a little goes a long way!

#10 DR. DENNIS GROSS ALPHA BETA EXTRA STRENGTH DAILY PEEL — These alpha beta peels are so perfect for traveling as they are all individually packaged. I use the extra strength version every 1-2 weeks to make the set last longer to help with dullness and uneven texture, fine lines, and clogged pores.  

#11 FRESH SUGAR ADVANCED LIP THERAPY TREATMENT — I’ve been using this Sugar lip therapy for years and don’t think I’ll ever be able to go back to regular chapstick. This lip balm hydrates for 24 hours and smooths the look of wrinkles for visibly fuller lips. 

#12 DRUNK ELEPHANT T.L.C. SUKARI BABYFACIAL™ 25% AHA + 2% BHA MASK — This purchase was another in which I waited for a sale and it was so worth the splurge. This mask resurfaces skin to reveal greater clarity, improved skin texture and tone, resulting in a more youthful-looking appearance.

#13 LANEIGE LIP SLEEPING MASK — This is another product that lasts forever and I don’t even want to admit how long I’ve had this one. It keeps your lips super moisturized all night and works wonders for chapped lips.

#14 LIVING PROOF PERFECT HAIR DAY DRY SHAMPOO — This has to be my most purchased product ever from Sephora as I’ve yet to find any dry shampoo this good. It gives your hair a much cleaner feeling than drug store dry shampoos and I love the smell too – totally worth the splurge!

#15 ST. TROPEZ GRADUAL TAN WATERMELON INFUSION BODY LOTION — This new product from St. Tropez is making it’s way onto the list of frequent purchases because it’s now my new favorite self tanner! The pigment is strong enough to only have to use this a couple of times a week and it doesn’t rub off or streak – highly recommend!
