Too Faced Travel Size Better Than Sex Mascara
Over a decade after its release, I still stand by this iconic (and slightly controversial) mascara.
Sol de Janeiro Delícia Drench Body Butter
With notes of sugared violet, sweet vanilla orchid, and warm sandalwood, this body butter is a heavenly treat. Plus, the dreamy whipped formula has hydrating bacuri butter and coconut oil.

I’m still in love with this timeless palette. It has every shade you need to add depth and shimmer to your eyes.

I want to wrap myself in this ivory cashmere sweater all winter long.
