My vibe is best described as "bougie on a budget."
I am soooo guilty of picking at pimples (SUE ME) so finding a product that'll visibly reduce some of the damage I've done is pretty frickin' great. It doesn't sting or burn, and after ten minutes of hanging out with this on my face, my skin looked smoother and more even.

"I don't like spending a lot of time on my brows, but I love the look of a full and fluffy brow. I would normally go for a pencil to fill and shape them, but I actually really like using the clear shade of this stick. There's a teensy silicone brush on the other hand, so after I fluff up my arches with the stick, I can comb through the hairs to shape them. It takes less than a minute to groom my brows and they stay intact all day long." —Kaysey Davis

"I am a sucker for a good cream blush. This one is absolutely no joke. It's the most pigmented product I've ever worked with and I only need a tiny dot of it to do both of my cheeks. Luckily, it doesn't dry on the spot, so I have time to work it in with a beauty sponge or brush before it sets." —Alice Prendergast

Get it from Amazon Canada for $9.99+. Available in two colours.
"I have short hair, which means if I don't style it I look like Coconut Head. I spritz this all over my damp hair before I blow dry or style with my flat iron and it helps keep my hair safe from heat damage. It also adds a healthy shine to my hair, and it smells really sweet, but it's certainly not a scent that sticks around all day." —Bianca Guzzo

Okay, but this might be the best deodorant I've ever used — natural or not. My partner and I have tried all the different scents and absolutely LOVED each one, which is saying something. Unlike other deodorants, it never feels dry or chalky, either. Did I mention it smells amazing? Seriously, I can't get enough. Oh, and I was dry. All. Day. I even went out in the sun to test it and let me tell you, not a drop of perspiration left my underarms.

"I'm a huge fan of luxury skincare, but serums and oils are so dang expensive. I recently discovered this Neutrogena hyaluronic acid serum (a drugstore alternative), and I am impressed. It's lightweight, but keeps my skin moisturized. On winter days when I'm feeling particularly dry, I like to double up with moisturizer, but I think this stuff could definitely hold its own in the summer months without the help of any additional products." —Alice Prendergast
Get it from Amazon Canada for $18.47 (originally $19.97).
Reviewers say it's perfect for oily eyelids and love that it buffs out easily, so you'll be able to create whatever look your heart desires. Since it's a creamy formula, it'll be great for creating a statement lip, too!
Get it from Sephora Canada for $24. Available in 33 shades and in three finishes.
Alright, y'all, THIS is the kinda invention I can get behind. As much as I like blotting papers (and I do), this magic roller is just *sooo* much easier to use and less wasteful. It's perfect for all the nooks and crannies of your face (like around your nostrils, par example), not to mention it has a teensy cap to protect it from getting dirty in your pocket or makeup bag. And when it starts to look a smidge dingy, all you'll need to do is twist the top to release the stone then give it a scrub with soap and warm water.
Get it from Amazon Canada for $14.39 (originally $17.99).
Reviewers love that they can use it before air-drying and for both wash-and-go and protective styles.
Get it from Sephora Canada for $14.52+. Available in two sizes.
"As soon as I saw this product I knew I had to try it out, and it did not disappoint. It's slightly cooling right out of the box, but putting it in the freezer for a couple of hours totally changes the game. It's unscented and doesn't leave you sticky after you apply it. I even rubbed a bit into the back of my neck on a hot evening, and it completely cooled me down." —Bianca Guzzo
Get it from Walmart Canada for $19.97.
Get it from Amazon Canada for $10.19+. Available in ten shades.
The neat nozzle tip will make it easy to apply the shampoo right where you need it (aka the scalp) — perfect for people with thick hair!
Get it from Shoppers Drug Mart for $17.99.
It's legit the only product I've ever tried that consistently chills out all kinds of skin reactions — I even spritz it on myself and my partner when we inevitably get a sunburn every. single. summer. It soothes breakouts (they're less painful, swollen, and they don't stick around as long) and leaves my skin positively *GLOWING*. It's outperformed other fancy-schmancy mists I've tried and at a fraction of the price.
Get it from Sephora Canada for $16+. Available in three sizes.
"I only recently jumped on the niacinamide bandwagon, but it's already become one of my favourite skincare products. It's wild how little of this product you need to feel the benefits of it. I literally only use a drop of it before applying my moisturizer at night and in the morning, my blemishes are a little less invasive looking. This particular formula is mixed with zinc to increase its effectiveness!" —Brittany Barber
Get it from Sephora Canada for $7.10+. Available in two sizes.
Each kit comes with eight sets of 24 press-on nails, four bottles of nail glue, and a crystal nail file (each set comes in a different colour and has ten different-sized tips to ensure a perfect fit).
Get the kit from Amazon Canada for $19.99. Available in three styles.
Why did I spend so much time using other products when this one exists? I love that the updated formula has some added vitamin C, so I can treat my lips to the same TLC I give the rest of my face. And honestly, I can't remember the last time my kisser was this smooth and flake-free.
Get it from Sephora Canada for $29. Available in seven scents.
"I love hair oil. I've raved about both the Ouai hair oil and Verb Ghost Oil in the past, but this is my new fave. It's more affordable and smells amazing. It also keeps my frizzies and flyaways under control, but doesn't leave my tresses feeling or looking greasy (essential, since I have very fine hair and a ton of products weigh it down and leave me looking like Argus Filch)." —Alice Prendergast
Get a set of two from Amazon Canada for $24.95.
Whoever developed this formula deserves all the awards, because it is lighter than air and actually feels conditioning on the skin. I love that the shades are designed to be versatile, which means I don't have to keep 101 different products in my makeup bag. I'm pretty sensitive to fragrances, too, so I can appreciate that these gels are pretty fragrance free. It doesn't just work on cheeks, either — I like dabbing a few drops onto my smoocher to give it a natural flush whenever I don't want to commit to a full lipstick look.
Get it from Sephora Canada for $29. Available in four shades.
Reviewers with sensitive skin and eczema are especially fond of it, saying it's the only product that doesn't leave their skin feeling dry or inflamed. It's unscented, free of all potential irritants and allergens, is gynecologist-tested, and safe for pregnant people.
Get it from Amazon Canada for $23.
"Not gonna lie, I was floored by the length this mascara was able to achieve! When I looked up, I could feel my eyelashes touch my brow bone (!!!), which — to me — means that a mascara is doing its job." —Shelby Heinrich

"I have been eyeing this lip balm for months after seeing TikTok makeup queen Mikayla review it, so I knew I had to grab it when it came back in stock. It has become my go-to lippie this summer! I'm a sucker for clear glosses, so that's the one I got and I love wearing it on its own or over a lipstick. I loved the formula so much, I got a tinted gloss in their plumping version, too (it's just as amazing)." —Bianca Guzzo

Get a pack of three from Amazon Canada for $10.49.
I am uncompromising in my addiction to shellac (I even do it at home), so getting a treatment for my poor claws was a must. This one feels really silky, absorbs quickly, and keeps my nails from snapping off *right* when I get them to the perfect length. Since my cuticles are moisturized, too, I'm less tempted to pick and peel them.
Get it from Amazon Canada for $19.99.
Pro tip: stash it in the fridge for an extra dose of chill.
Get it from Amazon Canada for $11.
I mean, look at that LIFT! It's easy to customize the amount of volume and since it's a powder, it'll absorb excess oil and keep your mane looking fresher for longer. Oh, and it's fragrance free, which means wearing it with your other fave products isn't a problem.
Get it from Amazon Canada for $23.40 (originally $26).
There was once a time where I used to glue falsies to my eyelids every morning, so I know a good set when I find it. I saw TikTok makeup guru Mikayla wear these and RAN to the NYX website to buy myself multiple sets before they sold out. They are so comfortable to wear and they look really natural on the eyes. I love that the invisible band makes it super easy to glue them as close to your lash as possible, and that they can be used up to 15 times (with proper cleaning and care OFC!)

Things I love about conditioner and hair masks: they make my mane super soft. Things I hate about conditioner and hair masks: literally everything else. Almost every one I've tried has weighed down my hair and left it looking lank and greasy two seconds after I've styled it (what a waste of a wash day!). Whatever magic is in this one, though, definitely does the trick. It detangles my tresses, feels ahhhh-mazing on my scalp, and smells friggin' fantastic. I love that it works as a hard-working restorative mask, which is perf for the days when my tresses could use a lil' reward for all the work they do serving ~lewks~ all week long (a little squeeze goes a long way).
Get it from Amazon Canada for $36.
You can use them with liquid and powder formulas (or even to apply your sunscreen if you hate getting your fingers dirty).

Because I have reactive skin, I read a TON about this powder before I tested it. Knowing it's made of naturally-derived ingredients is a big bonus! There's a slight tingly sensation as the product dries on the skin, but I didn't notice any irritation or reaction at all. My skin felt velvety soft, and my pores looked almost invisible (not to mention thoroughly deep-cleaned). Application might be a tiny bit messy, but it's 100% worth it.
Get it from Amazon Canada for $16.
I'm kinda "meh" about eyeliners, but this one has convinced me to revisit the subject. I looooove the buttery formula — it never skips or tugs, so I can do precise linework even if my hands are a smidge shaky. It's also super pigmented, so I can opt for some ~drama~ whenever I feel like it, without having to reach for extra products to layer on top (and it's 🎉waterproof🎉). I haven't even told you the best part: it has a teeny sharpener hidden in the top!

"I have really long lashes (#blessed), but they’re pin straight, which means they flatten out as soon as I put product on them. I find that the brush is great for locking in curl, while the formula is light enough that it doesn’t weigh down my lil’ lashies. Plus, It never gets clumpy and washes off like a dream. I have tried dozens of different mascaras but I always come back to this one." —Bianca Guzzo
Get it from Amazon Canada for $7.99. Available in five shades.
Anything that makes my life easier is a serious success in my books. Things I love about this lash serum: zero irritation, easy application, and no flaky residue. It doesn't clump up my lashes or my brow hairs, has almost no smell, and dispenses the perfect amount of product with every click. And it's budget-friendly? Heck, yes.
Get it from Shoppers Drug Mart for $24.99.
"I bought this on a whim when I ran out of my favourite setting powder that got discontinued. This has now taken the top spot as my MVP powder, and it's SO affordable. It comes with so much product in the tub and it is truly invisible on the skin. I love that it never creases under my eyes and keeps my face matte all day long, too." —Bianca Guzzo
