11 CURRENT MUST-HAVE BEAUTY PRODUCTS

This site contains affiliate links, view the disclosure for more information.

I have to admit, I love trying out new beauty products, especially if I know they will make my life easier! And when I am able to, I love to make time for self-care and beauty; because when I look my best - I feel my best!

Of course, you do not need to buy everything on this list, and I do not encourage overconsumption. (In fact, I think you should only buy what you need, and if something is already working for you, keep using it until it is time for a replacement.)

Nevertheless, I do enjoy sharing game-changing products like these that I have actually used, and that have become staples for me. Since I have already tried them, I will save you the time of wondering if they actually work or not by sharing my experience.

Keep reading to discover some of the products that have currently enhanced my beauty routine and I would totally repurchase! 



This post is all about my current must-have beauty products.




CURRENT BEAUTY FAVORITES





Hair






1. WET BRUSH GO GREEN CURL DETANGLER

See this Amazon product in the original post

Whether you have curly, wavy, or straight hair, this is one of the best hairbrushes/detanglers I have ever tried! It is super gentle on the hair and if you have crazy curly hair like me, it makes detangling so much easier and comfortable without stripping the hair. I cannot recommend it enough; it is an absolute essential for me!


2. PAUL MITCHELL PRO 3-IN-1 CURLING WAND

See this content in the original post

Paul Mitchell has such high quality hair products and I am obsessed with their wands! I bought this one on a whim, (because I have another Paul Mitchell wand that has been amazing, so I decided to try this one too), and I DO NOT REGRET IT! It is so good and leaves hair shiny!

My hair is curly so I have to blow dry first, and then go back and curl, so most wands do not hold the curls for me. But this one has proven to hold curls well no matter the hair type. I also LOVE that it has interchangeable heads, and the sizes included are exactly what I had been looking for all in one!

So glad I didn't have to purchase two separate ones because this one has all I need. If you want tight curls or loose beach waves that last, get this!!  

3. GRAN-NATURALS BOAR BRISTLE SLICK BACK HAIR BRUSH

See this Amazon product in the original post

If you have been craving a sleek bun before hair wash day, a more clean girl look, or you simply want to tame the baby hairs - you need this!

This is a high quality boar bristle brush that (paired with a good pomade or hair wax stick) tames all the fly aways in just minutes! I use it a lot - especially when I want that extra sleek look!




MAKEUP & SKINCARE




4. GRANDE LASH MD: LASH ENHANCING SERUM

See this Amazon product in the original post

I’m sure you have seen this online by now, because it is literally everywhere! I initially hesitated to try it because I was unsure and didn't want to buy into the hype. But after seeing a close friend of mine get amazing results, I decided to try the travel size first before investing in the full size.

In just a few weeks I saw crazy results! My lashes looked longer than they’ve ever been. It is pricey, but I LOVE how long my lashes look after using this consistently! A game-changer!


5. LOREAL TRUE MATCH HYALURONIC TINTED SERUM

See this Amazon product in the original post

I love how glowy and natural my skin feels with this tinted serum! It is super lightweight yet has good coverage. It is a medium coverage tinted serum that can build up to full coverage and it is great for everyday use without feeling cakey!

I have combination skin that tends to be more on the dry side in the winter, so I always look for more hydrating foundations or serums that are not too heavy, like this one. If you have very dry skin though, I would recommend you use a good moisturizer underneath.

But all in all, it leaves your skin looking super natural, glowy and velvety with sufficient coverage! LOVE!


6. TARTE MARACUJA JUICY LIP PLUMPING GLOSS

See this Amazon product in the original post

I’m obsessed with how moisturized and good my lips feel after using this! It has multiple benefits all in one: it moisturizes, smoothens skin, adds color, adds shine, and plumps!

It smells so good too! If you’re a dry lip girly like me, you will LOVE this! This one goes with me wherever I go! So good!



7. MAYBELLINE FALSIES LASH LIFT VOLUMIZIING & LENGTHENING MASCARA

See this Amazon product in the original post

I love this drug-store mascara so much! I discovered it a few months ago, and it has become my current favorite! It does what it claims to do, and is more affordable yet works the same as a high-end mascara.

The wand it has is exactly what I needed to help volumize my zero-volume and curl-less lashes! Paired with a good lash-curler, it will look like you’re wearing falsies!



BODY




8. SCHICK QUATTRO DISPOSABLE RAZORS 

See this content in the original post

I’ve tried several different razors and I always go back to this one! It is the only one that gives me that close shave I’m looking for and does not feel like it is stripping my skin.

This razor is quick and easier to use than others and my skin always feels super smooth after using it! I still haven’t found one I like more than this one!


9. EOS SHEA BUTTER 24 HOUR MOISTURE BODY LOTION 

See this Amazon product in the original post

This is one of my favorite lotions now, and I especially love to use it after a night shower because of how quickly it seeps into the skin and moisturizes WITHOUT leaving you feeling greasy or oily!

If you love feeling moisturized but hate waiting for your lotion to dry or don't want a greasy residue, this is for you!


10. SILICONE EXFOLIATING BODY SCRUBBER

See this Amazon product in the original post

I love this body scrubber that doubles as a scalp scrubber! It is great for sensitive skin, lathers up well, easy to clean, and more hygienic than a loofa! (Plus its aesthetic.)





JEWELRY





11. GOLD PLATED CHUNKY TWISTED HOOP EARRINGS

See this Amazon product in the original post

I confess, I keep reaching for these with every outfit! They are super stylish and can be dressed up or down.

They can be a statement piece on their own, or they can be paired with other jewelry without looking like too much.

I love how they add just the right touch of style to any outfit! 





BONUS - ESV TRUTONE STUDY BIBLE BY DAILY GRACE CO.

See this content in the original post

Not a beauty product, but definitely an essential that I highly recommend! I love The Daily Grace Co. products, and I love reading the Bible in the ESV version (thankfully, most of their Bibles are in ESV - which is a great, accurate, and easy to read translation). This beautiful Bible will help you dive into the word of God in a deeper way. Here is a cheaper alternative if you find this one too pricey: https://amzn.to/3CAbXbQ

CONCLUSION

These are just some of the products that I’m currently loving and have become favorites in this season! 

I love trying out new products, so you will definitely see more of these!

Thanks for stopping by <3
