1. NYX Eyebrow Cake Powder to shape and fill in your brows so they look ~sharp~ but also super natural — I find that powder is way more forgiving than pencil and lends itself a softer (but still-with-oomph) look!
2. A pack of Peach & Lily Lazy Day's All-In-One Moisture Pads that'll streamline your skincare routine during rushed mornings without leaving out any benefits — as a toner, essence, *and* moisturizer, one drenched pad leaves your skin feeling plump, nourished, and hydrated (all without feeling the least bit sticky!).
3. A vegan, cruelty-free Winky Lux Watermelon Jelly pH Lip Balm with pH-reactive ingredients that glide on clear and transform to your perfect pink for a fruity-fresh pout that stays smooth and moisturized alllll day. Keep one in your purse, desk, bathroom — everywhere!
4. A lightweight, buildable layer of Supergoop! Daily Correct CC Cream to deposit juuust the right amount of tint so that any texture evens out without feeling like there's a bunch of goop on your face! And it has SPF 35!
5. A Milk Makeup Astrology Tattoo Stamp, so you can proudly rep your sign all year 'round — because, let's be real, it's a way of introduction these days — and probably impress a lot of people/strangers who ask if it's a real tattoo.
6. EltaMD SPF 31 UV Lip Balm to keep your lips looking hydrated (thanks to Hydromanil, which promotes both immediate and long-lasting moisture!), juicy, and protected from the sun — because, yes, lips are prone to sun damage too! It contains 5% transparent zinc oxide, so it's perfect for sensitive lips and it's also water-resistant for up to 80 minutes, so like what *can't* it do?
7. A Maybelline Facestudio Master Chrome Metallic Highlighter for imparting a gorrrrrgeous gold (or rose gold! or peach! or topaz!) highlight with a subtle glitter effect that's densely packed so you don't experience any messy fallout — just jaw-dropping cheekbones at a moment's notice!
8. A bi-phase (shake to mix!) Glow Recipe Watermelon Glow Ultra-Fine Mist packed with 84% watermelon, hyaluronic acid, and hibiscus AHAs to refresh/soften/illuminate skin and enhance makeup in a few spritzes of delightful watermelon ~fog~. Forget the second round of coffee, and meet your new afternoon wakeup call!
9. A dual-sided water-resistant eyeliner stamp that'll save you from yourself and be the helping hand you need to create the perfect cat eye — the stamp guarantees you get matching wings in a snap, but you can always customize and thicken them with the pen for ~more drama~.
10. A bottle of Cosrx Snail 96 Mucin Power Essence with a whopping 96% filtered snail mucin can replenish dull, stressed, and dehydrated skin in just a few seconds — hello, instant glow!
11. A few dabs of Coty Airspun Loose Face Powder to control excess oil/shine and minimize the appearance of large pores with just a few pats for the ultimate matte, ~blurring~ effect. Instagram filters, your business isn't needed. Not today, not ever.
12. A oil-free Missha Super Aqua Ultra Waterfull Clear Cream containing baobab tree extracts and glacial water for an instant bump-up in moisture, so your skin goes from dull to dewy in a few seconds — and if you've got some excessive sebum lurking around midday, this also helps with that!
13. Etude House Dear Darling Tints for a quick swipe of pigmented but weightless color on your lips. They're long-lasting and, if at all, they fade super prettily — I love applying them all over or concentrating the color in the middle for a gorgeous blotted lip look!
14. A cruelty-free, safe-for-sensitive-lids Essence Cosmetics False Lash Effect Mascara to majorly boost your lashes with unbelievable volume — so much that *everyone* will be asking what mascara you're wearing — for just a few bucks. Life is generally hard, but getting fabulous lashes isn't thanks to this bb!
15. Nip + Fab Glycolic Fix Daily Cleansing Pads to tackle breakouts with just a few gentle yet effective swipes of its resurfacing abilities, made up of 2.8% glycolic acid, witch hazel, and hyaluronic acid — because achieving glowing skin shouldn't cost an arm and leg, or require a super extensive routine!!
16. Revlon Ultra HD Matte Lipsticks that'll paint your pout in showstopping, bold colors without sucking all the life and moisture out of your lips (whew).
17. Or, for a glossy option, Buxom Full-On Plumping Lip Polish for visible-from-across-the-room shimmer and a cooling/tingling touch that's perfect for summertime and also causes lips to ~appear~ fuller, thanks for a unique peptide complex. We love a moisturizing lip gloss that does double duty!
18. The Ordinary Caffeine Solution 5% + EGCG, a super lightweight, fast-absorbing eye serum with a 5% concentration of caffeine, as well as EGCG derived from green tea leaves, to give dark circles and under-eye puffiness a well-deserved ~wake up~ call.
19. A multitasking Stila One Step Correct Serum can color correct (see ya' later, redness!!), brighten, hydrate, and prime your skin all at the same damn time — even if you're starting with sunburnt skin. This has you covered, period.
20. A Burt's Bees Herbal Complexion Stick that'll instantly calm down redness/inflammation, exfoliate dead skin cells (thanks, willow bark and calendula), and work its magic on getting rid of pesky zits as soon as they dare to show up — thanks to pore-cleaning tea tree and juniper oils!
21. A pump or two of Kevyn Aucoin Glass Skin Face Gloss for an almost-too-easy method of achieving a ~dewy dumpling~ or ~glass skin~ look — you can apply it alone, but it looks especially natural when it's mixed in with foundation.
22. A compact jade gua sha tool to help ~untense~ facial muscles, break down scar tissue, stimulate blood flow, increase collagen production, and decrease puffiness — plus, who wouldn't want to take a few minutes out of their day for a relaxing facial massage??
23. A Honest Beauty Magic Beauty Balm to soothe dry skin, lips, and cuticles as well as highlight cheekbones, and tame flyaways. Take this everywhere you go! You'll be glad you did.
24. A bottle of La Roche-Posay Thermal Spring Water Mist for a face refresh whenever it's feeling a little dull, tired, irritated, or overheated, thanks to soothing micro-droplets formulated with selenium (which is a powerful natural antioxidant).
25. Bamboo and charcoal oil-absorbing tissues that'll blot away excess oil at a moment's notice whenever you start lookin' a little shinier than you'd like — they barely weigh anything and will fit into any pocket or purse, and they're made with 100% natural linen fibers, so they're super gentle!
26. A convenient tinted mineral powder sunscreen brush with SPF 25 for easy-breezy touchups throughout the day. How easy? No grease, no mess, and no stinging — plus, it's slightly tinted so you get a bit of coverage and skin-evening to boot!
27. A sheer-to-buildable Kaja cushion blush stamp for a natural flush that blends seamlessly into your skin — because your cheeks deserve the love! You can either blend with your fingers, a Beautyblender, or even apply in actual heart shapes (!!!) if you're feeling a lil' extra.
