I love going through other people’s holy grails on TikTok or Instagram, so today I thought I would write about my own! Here are some products/things I literally would die without, in no particular order.

Covergirl Perfect Point Plus Liquid EyelinerScreenshot 2025 04 14 at 11.31.59%E2%80%AFPM

This eyeliner is literally $7 and stays on all day. I have cried while wearing this and you can’t tell. I can do my waterline with this when I feel like being a baddie, and it gives me the most precise wing I have drawn on myself ever. I know a lot of people hate the dip eyeliner, but I love it and will be taking zero criticism. It’s very accessible to buy, carried by places like Target, drugstores, and Amazon.

This is literally the best thing I have put on my lips ever. It tastes so good and looks gorgeous on. I am a sucker for a good lippy and this passes every one of my tests. I’ve only ever found it at Sephora for $28 but I promise it is worth every penny.

This is one of the more expensive items on my list, coming in at $99 before taxes, but I wear it every day. I’m a sucker for anything strawberry but I hate wearing fruity scents, and somehow this both smells like strawberries and is more musky than fruity. Also, a pro tip for any Orlando locals, the Sephora in Disney Springs (and any other store in Disney Springs) accepts Disney gift cards as payment. Thank me later.

An underrated gem that my grandmother passed down to my mother passed down to me, and I am now telling all of you lovely people. It gets any makeup off so quickly and doesn’t dry your face out at all. It’s also so cheap, the biggest size I’ve been able to find costs $14 and lasts for months. I usually only have to buy two or three of these a YEAR and wear and take off makeup every day.

Literally a lifesaver, this is so helpful for when I get out of the shower. It’s much lighter than a towel and has an elastic so it won’t randomly come undone. I’ve been using this for the past six straight years and I’m so glad I found it. You can wash them with your laundry and they’re only $15 and are pretty easy to find.

I know this is a strange addition but it’s so fun and I always get so many compliments. You can put it in for literally any reason—my sorority all put it in our hair for lip-sync and I’m known to wear it just because. You can get a pack of multiple colors on Amazon for $9 and there are a lot of videos that explain how to put it in quickly and easily.
