What I'm restocking

Makeup

+ I've added Charlotte Tilbury's Lip Cheat Liner in Iconic Nude to my rotation, so much so that it's time for a restock! I also love shade Pillow Talk.

+ Charlotte Tilbury's Flawless Filter is an OG in my makeup bag. I use this as a primer, a stand-alone sheer 'foundation', and a highlight. As we're approaching the cooler months, I like to use a shade lighter from my Summer shade 3, so I'll be grabbing shade 2.

+ I like to keep Charlotte Tilbury's Mini Airbrush Flawless Setting Spray in my makeup bag versus the full size

Skincare

+ Yes, I buy a boujee body wash. Nécessaire's Eucalyptus body wash is my absolute favorite. I hide it from Joe so with only me using it, it doesn't run out too fast. Smells amazing.

+ Always stock up on Dr. Jart+ masks during the sale. My favorites are the water replenishment and the brightening.

Haircare

+ Bumble and bumble Heat Shield Blow Dry Accelerator works as a heat protectant and also noticeably speeds up dry time.

+Bumble and bumble Pret-a-Powder Tres Invisible Dry Shampoo is my ride-or-die dry shampoo. Always stock up on a few bottles during sales!

+ I always feel best when traveling with my own shampoo & conditioner. The Dae Signature Shampoo & Conditioner minis are the perfect size!

What I'm trying for the first time

I recently took @makeupxka's Back to Basics virtual class and left with so many new product recommendations.

+ Patrick Ta Major Dimension Eyeshadow Palette - This was one of Kelli Anne's most-used palettes. I love the shimmery shades for holiday szn!

+ Kosas Cloud Set Baked Setting & Smoothing Powder - This setting powder was a viral Tiktok find (shade Breezy).

+ Makeup Forever Artist Color Pencil - Kelli Anne's most-recommended everyday liner shade (Wherever Walnut).

+ Saie Glowy Super Gel Lightweight Dewy Highlighter - Mix with skincare for a dewy look. I grabbed shade Starglow.

+ Iconic London Super Smoother Blurring Skin Tint - Haven't found a skin tint I've loved yet and heard great things about this (shade Cool Fair).

+ Nudestix Blot & Blur Matte Stick - Another viral Tiktok find to diminish the look of pores! The before & afters look insane.

+ Dae Mini Cactus Flower Leave In Conditioner - Haven't tried a Dae product I didn't love and this one's been on my list.

+ Bumble and bumble Pret-a-Powder Post Workout Dry Shampoo Mist - Dry shampoo alone doesn't always work amazing for post-workout, so excited to give this one a try that was specifically made for it!

Gifts I'm stocking up on

I'm a big believer in gifting with intention and not just spending money on random shit. I always try to gift my personal favorites and/or products I know the person on the receiving end will actually use and love.

+ Split up sets - Want to get the most bang for your buck? Buy a set and split it up! This works great when you need multiple stocking stuffers, co-worker gifts or grab bag gifts. With the 20% discount, these Laniege Mini Sleeping Masks come out to only $3 a piece.

+ Take advantage of splurges on sale - Whether you're grabbing a wishlist item for yourself, or a gift for someone special, taking up to 20% off on something like the Dyson Airwrap or a Slip Pillowcase (the best) is so worth the savings!

+ Grab a stocking stuffer or small gift she'll actually love - If you need a great gift but don't want to buy full size, grab a mini version of your favorite and gift it with something like a Starbucks gift card or a bottle of wine. This mini Flawless Filter is under $15 with the 20% discount and a favorite of mine to gift.
