Black Friday Recs!
Tis the season for shopping and finding the best deals to stock up on. Listing all my favorites that I would load my cart up on! And I segmented by categories ofc ~
makeup
proeight eyeliner ($17)
you’ve been looking for an eyeliner that does NOT budge, has a precise tip, dark and pigmented, doesn’t dry up. This is it!!! I found this and feel so relieved that I don’t have to rotate between 3 eyeliners just to get a wing everyday.
clio cushion (I wear ginger) $17
the cushion I’ve been using for years and won’t be stopping anytime soon. It’s dewy, light to medium coverage, doesn’t crack on dry skin. Just gives the most blurred, beautiful glow.
violette chrome liners ($27)
metallic and fun!! in a wearable way. She always does the perfect pop of color with her eye products that makes me excited to wear festive makeup. A little of this on the top or bottom lash line is all you need to add a lil pizaazz to your eyes. My fave is this green shade.
violette eyeshadows ($25)
(that dual as eyeliners too!) I love this sparkly blue one as an alternative to black liner. It’s not too noticeable but when you step into the sunlight, it shimmers with subtle flecks of midnight blue. Bound to get you some compliments! And they don’t smudge…at all :D
a steal for $15!! In terms of liquid foundation, this is my go to for a skin like finish (not too dewy not too matte). The coverage is fairly light but can be built up to medium. I like how it sits on the skin throughout the day and I just find myself reaching for it when I need my makeup to last for a long time!
entropy brow pencil ($13)
all brow pencils are NOT the same because this one has a razor built in!! That’s a game changer for me because I’ve been loving playing with different eyebrow shapes and it’s so handy to have this easy access. And I like the soft hue of the pencil itself, the shape is also super slim making brow application extra fast.
if there’s one thing you get this BFCM season, let it BE THIS. This is a contour stick but it makes the most amazing lip liner. AND… it’s $4. Crazy work, because of this stick, I have been changed for the better.
skincare
soft, gentle, smells like almond jello. Simply nothing not to love.
Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference.
manyo deep cleansing oil ($16)
I like this over the original because it’s very thin and instantly takes off makeup without tugging on the skin.
purito panthenol cream ($12)
best bang for your buck ($12) and it’s GOOD. Dewy and full of hydration and moisture when on the skin. Sometimes this will be the only moisturizer I travel with and I’m set.
I had severe eczema on my eyelids and this completely was the only thing that helped. Any redness or irritation, spray this on and it’ll be gone. MAGICAL.
has little spicules to get the TXA absorbed, and it worked wonders on the spot my giant pimple left!
haruharu ceramide cream ($16)
a good, thick cream for dry skin that I love for slugging or when I just need something to seal everything in during dry and cold seasons.
house of hur spf ($12)
doesn’t feel like sunscreen because it’s so thin, weightless, and blends in 3 seconds. It makes the perfect spf under makeup too!
aestura cream mist ($16)
use this under makeup and as the last step almost like a setting spray. Your makeup!! omg. so dewy and milky.
biodance skin glow cream ($23)
a little bit of this mixed in your foundation and bam! your makeup is editorial and wet looking for the whole day. But not in an annoying way. It’s also really nice by itself at night.
organic cotton, comfy, and they make it fun!
I’ve gone through 3 tubes of this already in the past couple months. It’s a serum balm hybrid with an ice cold applicator. No tint, no harsh fragrance - I will panic if I don’t have this on hand.
107 collagen jelly ($23)
the perfect snack on the go that’s also a collagen supplement. Yummy and fun because it’s jelly!
haircare
I’m not that crazy about heat protectants but this one is DIFFERENT. Makes your hair shiny and no frizz, as if you used a flat iron. Just put a little on before blow drying and you’ll be set.
k18 hair oil ($50)
a thin weightless oil that tames flyaways and heat protects! I like the mild scent, almost like you just came from the salon.
ayunche shampoo ($25)
putting this in because it’s my mom’s pick! She likes this because there’s no residue and it does what it says: leaves your scalp feeling clean and fresh.
home
I was searching for probably over 20 hours cumulatively for a machine that was affordable, beginner friendly, and had the least plastic in contact with water. Settled on this one for my BF purchase and I LOVE this duck egg blue hehe
Because my machine didn’t have a built in grinder, I got this one that could measure the grinds by cup.
and LOL because the portafilter that comes with the espresso machine is aluminum and plastic, I opted to get a separate one that’s stainless steel.
hair tools
t3 straighter ($140)
My ultimate hot tool, I can do straight, curly, beachy waves, bang styling, and everything in between. Totally worth it!
the round barrel is a classic and I would get this one if you’re in the market for a timeless high quality iron.
books
Life is scary and crazy and overwhelmingly fun at times, and sometimes you need a book to ground you or comfort you. Somehow whenever I opened this book, the chapter I was on always seemed to give me the right tidbit of encouragement for whatever I was going through at the moment.
