I’m a pretty routined individual when it comes to my beauty routines. Once I find a product that I like, and it works, I tend to stick with it, rarely abandoning it. That being said, today I rounded up some of my go-to beauty products that I use daily (hair products are typically just weekly)…
I hope everyone has a great day ahead!

MAKE-UP
ILIA: I’ve been using Ilia products for almost 3.5 years now and really love them (my mom uses their products as well). I appreciate that the don’t feel heavy on the face, and look/feel natural and subtle. My go-to products from their line include this eye shadow palette and their limitless mascara (I feel like it adds great length to my short lashes).
WESTMAN ATELIER: I stumbled across this brand when I was looking for a blush to take with my to Italy this summer… and I love the blush stick. It’s creamy, and highly pigmented, so a little goes a long way. I really want to try their concealer stick as well, since I’m not completely happy with the one I’m currently using.
SAIE: My favorite product from their line is the liquid highlighter– a little goes a long way and it does an amazing job of adding a dewy highlight where applied. I use it daily on my cheekbones and brown bone.
LAWLESS: So I first discovered Lawless’ beauty line 3ish years ago when I was on the hunt for a clean beauty foundation. The lady at Sephora matched my skin perfectly, and I’ve been using the line ever since. Unfortunately, the line recently changed their formulation and I am not a fan of the current foundation (literally using a silicone straw to scrape out the last remaining product from the old formulation), so I can’t recommend it… and the same with the concealer (it feels too runny for me)… but I do use, and really like, this eyeshadow palette.
HAIR
I’ve shared a lot about my hair routine in the past, but briefly breaking it down below with the products I use…
OLAPLEX: There have been a lot of people who say that Olaplex has made their hair fall out, and lot of people who say it works really well go them… I fall into the later category. I’ve been using their products for a few years now and have been really happy with the results. I use their shampoo, conditioner, purple shampoo, and treatments 0, 3, and 6, along with the oil. I do feel as if they’ve really helped to strengthen my hair and have contributed to the overall health of it as well.
AVEDA: I’ve been trying out a few Aveda products over the past 6 months, and have been really happy with the results. The first product I started with was the Botanical Overnight Repair Serum… I place it on the ends of my hair overnight, and it helps to reduce split ends. No need to wash it out either. I’ve also tried their color shampoo for hair color preservation and have been really happy with the results there as well. If you don’t want to try Olaplex, I would recommend trying Aveda’s botanical repair strengthening mask. I’ve tried it a few times and have been happy with it as well (I’ve just used Olaplex more, so I can attest to the results better).
BRIOGEO: I use the Scalp Revival mask from this line and it’s helped with the health of my scalp, and therefore, the growth of my hair. I’ve been using it for about 2ish years now and have been really happy with it. I use it once a week, and massage it into my scalp, then leave it on for about 5 minutes, and then rinse.
SKIN
ELEMIS: Another brand I’ve been using for 3+ years. Their products are formulated without 2,000 potentially harmful ingredients and I’ve noticed a huge difference in my skin since using their pro-collagen products. I swear by their cleansing balm (so luxurious), overnight cream + SPF30 daytime cream (both part of the pro-collagen line), and I just recently purchased this eye cream to test out. If you’re looking to try any of their products, I wouldn’t recommend purchasing until their Black Friday sale goes live (it’s usually about 30% off).
TULA: My all time favorite products from TULA are the exfoliating mask (haven’t found any quite like it… gives me the smoothest skin, with a nice glow), brightening eye balm (I use this daily in the morning… really brightens my under eye area), and the illuminating serum. I also swear by their spot treatment for blemishes- it doesn’t dry the area out too much, but it’s really effective. I used to use their eye cream as well, but I feel as if they changed the formulation on it and it feels too greasy for me now.
DIME BEAUTY: I started using this hyper glow serum back in May and love it- it really gives my skin a beautiful glow. I use it day and night, and it helps to protect my skin from free radicals.
NECESSAIRE: I’ve shared their products before, but I’ve been using their body soap, lotion, and serum for almost 3 years now and love the line. They also make a really great gift set for anyone who loves beauty!
KOPARI: If you want something that smells as if you just stepped onto an island, then Kopari is it! When I ran out of Necessaire I tried out their shower oil and lotion and loved it!
