This helps to take off any leftover makeup and also serves and my nightly toner.

BELIF The True Cream Moisturizing Bomb

Super hydrating moisturizer, really good for sensitive skin!

DYSON Supersonic Hair Dryer – https://www.sephora.com/product/supersonic-hair-dryer-P410214

This hair dryer is definitely pricey and was a Christmas gift, but it really does dry my hair faster and helps keep frizz levels at a minimum.

The perfect little contour palette and it’s great for travel!

ESTÉE LAUDER Double Wear Stay-in-Place Makeup
