This set is a great way to dip your toes into the Sol de Janeiro line without committing to the full size products. For only $30 you get a body wash, fragrance mist and lotion in a cute reusable bag. Not only are the smaller sizes so cute, but they're great for travel. My mom is a huge fan of this brand and was ecstatic to get this. Now she can bring her favorite products with her on short weekend getaways, on the plane, or even just thrown in her handbag. I also love that this set is available year round as it makes a great gift!

MY GO TO COLLAGEN SUPPLEMENT

As I've started getting older, I've been trying to take better care of my skin and body. With that being said, I started looking into different supplements, because beauty starts from within (or so everyone says anyways). So I started scrolling through Beautylish and came across this product. It claims to dissolve easily and taste like nothing, all while Improving your hair, skin, nails, joints, ligaments, tendons, etc. Still, I was worried that this would clump in my coffee and ruin the taste, which is a big deal for me as I am an avid morning coffee drinker. Well, let me start by saying that this powder is so fine, that it truly dissolves into nothing. It also really doesn't taste like anything! I've definitely tried other products that are "tasteless", that end up altering the flavor of whatever I'm mixing it into. Ugh. But I can confidently say that if I wasn't scooping this in myself, I would never be able to tell that anything extra was added to my coffee. (Full disclosure I've only ever added it to hot beverages, so I'm not sure how well it'd mix into a cold beverage.) But I'm a huge fan of this collagen supplement. My hair and nails have never looked or felt stronger and I definitely notice a difference when I don't take it for a few days, like when I'm on vacation. I have about 1-2 tubs back stocked in my kitchen cabinet at all times so that I never run out!

great overnight mask

I am a huge fan of Jeffree Star's make up products, so when I saw that he was coming out with a skincare line I was intrigued. I honestly wasn't expecting too much from this product, but it has quickly inserted itself into my night time skincare routine. The directions say to apply and wash off after 15 minutes, but I don't. On lazy skincare nights when all I want to do is go to bed, I will wash my face and put this on. That's it. Sometimes I'll sandwich in a serum if I feel like adding in an extra step. The next morning when I rinse the mask off, my face is soft and sooo hydrated. Even my husband noticed that my skin was noticeably softer after the first time I used it! I will say that there is a scent and it is very reminiscent of Trix cereal. However, once applied to the face I find that the scent doesn't linger and fades rather quickly.

Must have, holy grail!

This is hands down my favorite conditioner! If i could only use one conditioner for the rest of my life, it would be this. On a day to day basis, my hair is dry, damaged, and overall not living its best life due to constantly dying and bleaching it. However, this conditioner is such a game changer! After only the first use my hair was softer, shinier and just *looked* healthier. Personally, I only ever use this on my ends as I find it to be too heavy on my roots and it ends up weighing my hair down. My scalp leans more oily towards the oily side though, so I feel like if your scalp is more normal to dry you wouldn't have the same issue. Definitely worth the splurge!

Bear-y Cute

Cute, functional, and only $6? As soon as I saw this, I knew I had to have it. Who doesn't want to pretend like they're a bear while doing their skincare routine? I personally already had a skincare headband from another brand, but it was bear-y tight and hurt my head so I bear-ly used it. This one is soft, stretchy, and I use it every single day! I've also had mine for awhile now and it still looks like I just took it out of the box.

A scalp reset

Sometimes I get a little carried away with how many days I substitute washing my hair with dry shampoo, which leads to my hair feeling heavy and weighed down. Fortunately, one of my co-workers introduced me to this micro-exfoliating shampoo. I use this about once a week or once every other week and it's so good at getting rid of product build up and leaving your scalp feeling refreshed. At first I struggled with how to use this, because there's so much hair in the way of the scalp, how is it exfoliating anything?! But I found that using my fingertips to massage it into the scalp and through the roots is what works best for me.

No more makeup wipes!

Admittedly, I don't like exerting a lot of energy into taking my makeup off at the end of the day. It's late, I'm tired, I just want to go to bed! So I used to be an avid makeup wipe user, but my skin never really felt clean and all those wipes couldn't be good for the environment... But then I found this! I was definitely skeptical at first, but this cleansing balm does such a great job of removing all my face and eye makeup without leaving behind a filmy texture. Just a little bit goes such a long way and it is SO satisfying to watch all your makeup literally melt off your face. I've tried other cleansing balms, but none of them really compare and I always find myself coming back to this one.

THE BEST JSC PALETTE

As an avid Jeffree Star Cosmetics collector, I own quite a few of his palettes (okay, almost all of them), but this is by far my favorite one! The pan shades are huuuge, so you're definitely getting your money's worth and I love the color story! I have taken this with me as my only palette when I've gone traveling, and I had all the shades I needed to create day or night looks. I will say, I do agree with some of the reviews that mention the matte shades can come off as a little streaky when swatched. However, directly on the eyelids is a whole different story. Every shade is pigmented, buttery and blends beautifully when applied. I've had this palette for about 5 years and I still love it as much as the day I got it!

Best CC Cream I've Ever Owned

Amazing coverage? Check. Good color match? Check. Cruelty-free? Check. There is literally nothing bad I can say about this CC cream. With some setting powder on top, this is definitely my go-to everyday product.

Life Changing

I constantly saw this pink little sponge all over Youtube and my first thought was, "Another overhyped product", but I was so wrong. Not only does the beautyblender apply my foundation/BB cream beautifully, it's also a really fun tool to use. To be honest, in the beginning I wasn't really sure why everyone was raving over this little sponge. But I was spritzing it with water instead of running it under the tap for a few seconds and squeezing out the excess water (this made all the difference, and now I am in love)!
