This is my current makeup routine for a night out! I have a specific routine for nights out because I like a more defined, visible makeup routine to go with my overall look. And, it tends to be darker so I want to make sure it still pops in the dark.
These are some of my favourite body washes (followed up by the body butters/moisturisers) I love to use to use in my home! Most are natural and some are refillable, which means they reduce plastic waste which is another win!
No matter how old I get, vanilla is always the scent I find myself coming back to. Whether it's perfume, lotion, body wash, or something else - I can't get enough of all things vanilla. Here are my product recs for the girls who can relate.
A minimalist guide for feeling your best. Sounds corny, but I truly feel like beauty starts with within and that means taking care of your body, skin (your largest organ!), teeth, and even reproductive health. Sounds crazy – but it really is all connected. I've also included some lighter makeup recs – my skin is a bit sensitive and I don’t always make the time for more complex looks - so the products listed here are the ones I use to highlight my natural features to just give me a bit of oomph to go about my day.
These are my tried and true products I use that help make my beauty and hair care routine simple, healthy, and beautiful. I've been using all of these products for over a year now, and have written for each product the specific problem it has helped me solve.

Makeup I Actually Use (and Love)
These are the things I actually reach for because they work, and they don’t make me second guess myself in the mirror.
As a stylist, I have tried out all sorts of hair products and accessories to find out what’s best for the health of hair. I’ve also seen what things clients use and how that can affect their hair for the better or the worse. Here is a compiled list of hair accessories that I have found and really enjoy!
I’m not a big makeup wearer - so to be *approved* in my favorites - it’s gotta feel like I’m wearing nothing at all AND not cause my sensitive skin any breakouts! (Think light coverage) I always try to avoid pore cloggers and choose clean ingredient lists (but I’m not perfect)!

As someone who enjoys expressing herself through scent and fragrance, I have a collection of mainstream classics and niche perfume house brands.

These are my tried-and-true makeup picks — the products I keep coming back to for creating looks that feel like me. Whether it's an everyday glow, a polished beat, or something playful for a night out, each item here has earned its place. I’ve curated this list to include essentials that perform, layer beautifully, and work
across different moods, occasions, and skin needs. From skin-prep liquids to final lip touches, these are the staples I genuinely love and recommend.
If there's one step I never skip, it's double cleansing. My skincare routine is intentionally simple because I'd rather spend less time chasing trends and more time enjoying everyday life, but taking a few minutes to properly cleanse my skin every evening is one habit that's always worth it. I usually start with an oil or balm cleanser to melt away makeup, SPF and the day, before following with a gentle water-based cleanser to leave my skin feeling clean, fresh and comfortable. I'm not particularly loyal to one brand, and I love trying different formulas, but these are the cleansers I'd happily buy again and recommend. Whether you're looking for a nourishing cleansing balm, a lightweight cleansing oil or a gentle second cleanse, these are the products that have earned a place in my routine. They're all about making skincare feel easy, effective and sustainable because the best routine is the one you actually stick to.

When I say I would repurchase a product, it means it must be that good I dont even wanna bother trying another one. This is a list of my holy grails which include skincare, makeup, body and hair care etc.
I’ve struggled with acne my whole life. Back in Eastern Europe I survived thanks to good estheticians and regular in-office treatments. But when I had to emigrate and kept moving between countries, I didn’t always have access to a trusted skin doctor – so I had to finally understand my own skin and build a routine that actually works. Every product in this list is part of the real routine that helped me calm breakouts, support my barrier and keep my skin as clear as it’s ever been. If you have acne-prone, sensitive skin and feel lost without a cosmetologist on speed dial – this is the system that’s been working for me.
This is not a definitive list and will be updated as I try more! I have sensitive/acne prone skin. These are things that I have noticed actually do the most for my skin.
These are my must-have drugstore products for oily skin. They help control shine, keep the skin balanced, and work well under makeup. I’ve tried many affordable options, and these are the ones that actually make a difference.
Started with Korean skincare during COVID as a curiosity, ended up a full-blown junkie. This is everything currently in rotation for oily, dehydrated skin; mists, toners, sunscreen, cleansing balms, retinol. Updated as I switch things up.
I love keeping my lips moisturized at all times, so I’m always on the lookout for lip products that deeply hydrate, nourish, and deliver a beautiful shine. For a night out, I gravitate toward tinted options that add a pop of color, while for everyday wear, I prefer something clear or sheer for a more natural look. Most importantly, I prioritize clean formulas made without harmful ingredients.

I’ve tried other luxury makeup, and honestly some of it has dupes, but the products I’ve listed below are completely next level and not dupeable.

Listen, I have tried MANYYYY makeup products. But to have a select few that I would immediately purchase if I ever needed to start over says a lot about how good they are. It would be a shame if I gatekept them. These are THE products, some quickly won over my heart some I have been using for over a decade
Pucker up! This is my sassy squad of lip favorites- hydrating heroes, glossy showstoppers, and bold shades that don’t just talk the talk, they smack it! Whether I’m feeling flirty, fierce, or full-on fabulous, these lip picks are always ready to steal the spotlight (and maybe a kiss or two).
