I am always on the go, running from appointment to the office and so my beauty and skincare routine needs to be simple for day to day life. Over time, I’ve discovered a few standout products that I can’t live without, and these eight beauty and skincare gems are the ones I will always have in my bag. They’re reliable, multifunctional, and keep me looking fresh no matter where the day takes me.
1. Youth To The People Superfood Cleanser
Well done make up starts with a proper cleansing routine. That’s why I love this gentle cleanser and use it every morning!
It’s non-drying, and leaves my skin hydrated and glowing.
Skin Type: Normal, Dry, Combination, and Oily
2. Youth To The People Yerba Mate Resurfacing + Exfoliating
Those times when my skin needs a little extra love, this is always in my bag. A gentle exfoliator combines enzymes and acids to slough away dead skin cells, giving me a smooth, radiant complexion. The blend of yerba mate and prickly pear also helps hydrate and brighten my skin!

3. Clinique Moisture Surge
This gel-cream formula is light, refreshing, and provides a serious boost of hydration without feeling heavy. It’s perfect for all skin types, and the only moisturizer i use! I love how it works as a primer too, so I can apply it under my makeup or on bare skin for a natural, dewy look.
4. OLEHENRIKSEN Banana Bright Eye Creme
This eye cream is magic when it comes to brightening the under-eye area. It has a yellow-tinted formula that helps combat dark circles, while the vitamin C helps with overall brightness.
Not only does it hydrate, but it also makes my eyes look awake and refreshed—even if I’m running on little sleep!
5. The Ordinary Serum
I’m a big fan of The Ordinary for its high-quality, and budget-friendly skincare. Depending on my skin’s needs, I alternate between their various serums, whether it’s for hydration, brightening, or anti-aging.
Their Hyaluronic Acid Serum is great for giving my skin a moisture boost, and the Niacinamide Serum is perfect for minimizing pores and evening out my skin tone.
6. ILIA Super Serum Skin Tint SPF 40 Foundation
When I need a little coverage, I reach for the ILIA Super Serum Skin Tint SPF 40 Foundation. This is hands down my favorite tinted moisturizer.
Not only does it provide light, buildable coverage, but it also offers SPF 40, which is crucial for protecting my skin throughout the day.
7. Rare Beauty Liquid Blush
Girls are always commenting on my blush and ask what I’m using, well here it is!
The formula is incredibly pigmented, so a little goes a long way. I love how it blends seamlessly into my skin, giving me a natural-looking, radiant finish, AND the shades are stunning, so there’s something for every skin tone.
8. Rare Beauty Perfect Strokes Mascara
I got gifted this for mascara for Christmas and it has become an absolute favorite! It applies perfectly giving the a lift and lengthen.
All I can say is try it/gift it and you won’t be disappointed!
