Burt's Bees baby powder: When it comes to beauty products, I tend to lean kinda crunchy. I'm all about playing it safe. To this point, I stopped using conventional deodorant a couple years ago and instead use a mix of this baby powder and Thai Crystal Spray. It helps keep me dry in the armpit region and it totally works as a dry shampoo when you're tryna holler at 5 day hair.
Josie Maran whipped argan body butter: I've never been particular about my body lotion - all that changed, however, when my mom gifted me this dreamy lotion last year. I swear, I swear! It's the best, most luxurious, lightest lotion you will ever put on your body. It's a bit pricey at $35 a tub so I try to use it sparingly, but damned if this stuff isn't life changing.
See by Chloe perfume: I'm a sucker for musky scents; I'd wear men's cologne on the reg if I didn't feel so weird about it. The See by Chloe perfume is a nice alternative to spritzing on the Dior Farenheit; it's a heady mix of fruit and floral and I just adore it.
YSL touche elcat: Yet another baby always finding its way onto those top 10 lists across the magazine aisles. It's a magical gold wand full of luminosity. Dab it on wherever you see shadows on your face when you look down in the mirror and it instantly brightens you up. A little goes a long way, so don't be scared off by the price tag.
Josie Maran Argan Oil: I've got a tiny little soapbox reserved specifically for preaching the benefits of using argan oil as moisturizer. I switched from lotion a few years ago cause Josie Maran told me to (when she tells you to do something beauty-related, you listen). It may sound crazy - slathering oil all over your face every night? What what what?? But it moisturizes so well, gives you such a glow, makes you look so healthy.... Plus, it doubles as hair moisturizer.
Blue Goo cracked heel emu oil: All right, all right. This may not be the most glamourous beauty pick you've ever seen but! feet problems are the worst! And yes, emu oil. Like oil from the mammal that is an emu. I don't want to know how this stuff is made, honestly, because what? But I'll tell ya. Your feet will be soft and beauuutiful when you use this.
Origins GinZing under eye cream: I've fooled around with a few different under eye creams in my day; I guess you could say I'm a bit of a player. I like this one because it's super rich feeling while still being light, has a bit of an immediate cooling effect (which always makes me think something's working) and it's at a great price point, as far as eye creams go.
NARS blush in Orgasm: There's a reason this is on every single person's top beauty picks. It's the only blush anyone ever needs.
NYX eyeliner: This eyeliner goes on easily, blends well, is nice and soft and comes in about 30 different colors. And since this cheapie is only $3 a pop (and Ulta is often doing a buy one/get one 50% off w/this brand), I always pick up a fun color (since dying my hair ultra blonde last week, I'm currently digging purple) along with my standby - dark brown.
Not Your Mother's Beach Babe texturizing spray: I bought this on a recommendation from my friend Lisa and it hits all the major high points a beach spray should hit: it's inexpensive, smells good, and maintains the delciate balance between texture and...crunch. I have since bought the Victoria's Secret beach spray and I'll say that one works just as well.
