I have been using the same few products for years (basically). I am actually super picky when it comes to beauty & personal products because my skin is insanely sensitive. These are my favorite essentials that I’d recommend to anyone:
Aquaphor
This is the only chapstick I’ve used for the last year. Maybe I started using it because it’s what Billie Eilish uses, but that’s beside the point. Nothing works better.
RCMA No-Color Powder
I’ve been using this for close to four years. It’s only $12 for a 3 oz bottle, but I don’t think they carry it in stores. Having to order it online isn’t ideal, but the bottle lasts forever and it works great.
Waterproof Mascara
In my personal experience curling my eyelashes, regular mascara immediately weighs my lashes now and undoes the curl. I’m currently using Maybelline Total Temptation, but it’s a pretty dry formula and I’m starting to think I need to switch it up.

Maui Moisture Shampoo & Bodywash
I’ve been using different Maui Moisture shampoo scents for close to two years now, but nothing is better than the Volcanic Ash. The scent is completely addicting, like what I’d hope a hot boy smells like. I started using their shampoo because it’s sulfate-free, but the scents have kept me locked in.
Coconut Oil
I’ve been using coconut oil to remove my heavy-duty waterproof mascara for years. I just recently started using a branded eye makeup remover but had to switch back to coconut oil just because the actual remover was too harsh. A major plus is that a jar lasts months depending on how often you wear makeup.

Witch Hazel
This is easily the longest standing relationship I’ve had throughout my life. I remember my mom making me use witch hazel in middle school and absolutely hating the smell. Whatever smell I used to despise, I don’t even notice now, but I haven’t used another face toner in eight years.
Pimple Patches
Peach Slices Acne Spot Dots have been my savior this year. I’ve always had pretty sensitive skin, and cream spot treatments were always extremely harsh on my skin. I’ve tried other brands, but always end up back with Peach Slices. The package comes with 30 patches in 3 different sizes. They’re extremely helpful if you’re one to touch your face or pick at spots, these completely prevent you from further irritating the skin. They normally run two for $8 at CVS.

Dollar Shave Club Razors
Actually kind of annoying that I only ever see DSC marketed to men because I have never used a better razor in my entire life.
