Sephora Must Haves

Leave a comment

I’ve loved makeup ever since I was a kid—it was always the one thing I couldn’t wait to play with and, honestly, nothing has changed. To this day, makeup is still my favorite thing to buy. Over the years, it’s become much clearer which products work best together and how much more there is to makeup than just a good lipstick.

This blog is for the girls and women who feel a little lost when it comes to beauty. If you’re not sure where to start, or what you actually need, consider this your guide to stocking up on the right essentials.

Concealer:

✨ Huda Beauty Corrector in Peach

This lightweight, buttery corrector instantly neutralizes dark circles with its rich peach tone. It blends seamlessly under concealer—but it’s also perfect on its own for those no-makeup days when you just want a quick, brightened under-eye without layering products.

✨ NARS Radiant Creamy Concealer

A cult classic for a reason. With hydrating medium coverage and a natural radiant finish, this concealer covers effortlessly while keeping the under-eyes fresh—not cakey. Use it in your exact shade for the most skin-like effect.

✨ Hourglass Vanish™ Airbrush Concealer

For extra brightness in the inner corners or high-points of the face, this concealer’s high coverage and soft-focus finish are unmatched. It gives a lifted, airbrushed look with just a tiny amount.

Primer:

✨Armani Beauty Luminous Silk Hydrating Makeup Primer

This primer is perfect for anyone who wants a smooth, glowing base without the heaviness. The Luminous Silk Hydrating Primer adds a healthy radiance while keeping the skin moisturized, helping foundation glide on effortlessly. It softens texture, grips makeup gently, and gives that signature Armani “lit-from-within” look. A beautiful choice for both natural makeup days and full glam.

Foundation:

✨ Armani Luminous Silk Foundation (lighter coverage)

For days when you want your skin to breathe but still look polished, the Armani Luminous Silk Foundation is perfect. It evens out the complexion with a soft, natural finish and feels weightless on the skin. Ideal for everyday wear or when you’re aiming for that effortless, glowy look.

✨ Estée Lauder Double Wear (more coverage)

When you need extra coverage and serious longevity, Estée Lauder Double Wear never fails. It gives a flawless, full-coverage finish that stays put all day without melting, fading, or creasing. Perfect for events, long days, or whenever you want a perfected, long-lasting base.

Setting powder

✨ Fenty Beauty Pro Filt’r Instant Retouch Setting Powder – Butter

This one is perfect for brightening and smoothing without looking heavy. The shade Butter adds a soft warmth that sets makeup beautifully while keeping the skin looking natural and fresh.

✨ Huda Beauty Easy Bake Loose Setting Powder – Cherry Blossom

If you love a bright under-eye, this powder is a game changer. Cherry Blossom adds that subtle pink brightening effect that instantly lifts the face. It blurs, smooths, and locks everything in place—perfect for baking or a light set.

✨ Laura Mercier Translucent Loose Setting Powder

A classic for a reason. This powder gives a soft-focus, matte finish that keeps oils at bay without ever looking cakey. It works on every skin type and sets makeup flawlessly, making it a must-have staple in any makeup routine. If you’re new to makeup, Laura Mercier is the safest, most beginner-friendly option—you simply can’t go wrong with it.

Eye shadows:

Huda’s palettes have always been some of my favorites—super pigmented, easy to blend, and beginner-friendly without sacrificing quality.

✨ Grunge Palette – Browns & Blacks

This one is my go-to for an easy smoky eye. The rich browns and deep blacks blend effortlessly with no fallout and amazing pigment. It gives that bold, smoky look with almost no work, and it always turns out bomb.

Lip gloss:

✨ Charlotte Tilbury Big Lip Plumpgasm Plumping Lip Gloss – Pink Nude (Fair/Medium)

This is my go-to when I want a soft, pink nude with a subtle plumping effect. It’s glossy, lightweight, and perfect for everyday wear.

✨ Fenty Beauty Gloss Bomb Universal Lip Luminizer – Fussy & Fenty Glow

Fenty’s Gloss Bomb is a must-have for that universally flattering shine. The shades Fussy and Fenty Glow give lips a luscious, glossy finish without stickiness, making them perfect for layering over lipstick or wearing alone.

✨ Huda Beauty Faux Filler Shiny Non-Sticky Lip Gloss – Sugar Baby & Bombshell

These glosses are shiny, comfortable, and totally non-sticky. Sugar Baby and Bombshell are my favorites—they give that full, juicy lip look while feeling light and wearable all day.

Cheeks:

✨ Charlotte Tilbury Beauty Highlighter Wand – Pinkgasm & Gold

These are my go-to for adding instant glow. I apply them to the high points of my cheeks, and whenever the light hits, it reflects beautifully and looks amazing—effortless radiance every time.

✨ Rare Beauty Soft Pinch Liquid Blush – Happy & Spirited

Though technically a blush, I love using Happy and Spirited for a dewy, fresh highlight effect too. It gives my skin a natural, soft glow while adding a hint of color—perfect for a lively, youthful look.

Lip oil and balm

✨ Rare Beauty Soft Pinch Tinted Lip Oil Stain – Joy, Happy & Wonder

These tinted lip oils are perfect for a sheer wash of color with a glossy finish. They feel super lightweight, keep my lips hydrated, and add a fresh, natural tint that’s perfect for everyday wear.

✨ Dior Addict Lip Glow Balm – 001 Pink & 063 Pink Lilac

Dior’s Lip Glow Balms are my ultimate go-to for soft, nourished lips. The shades 001 Pink and 063 Pink Lilac give a subtle pop of color while keeping lips moisturized all day. They’re perfect for when I want a natural, effortless look.

Hair Treatment:

✨K18 Biomimetic Hairscience – Leave-In Molecular Repair Hair Mask

Repairs hair at a molecular level, restoring strength, elasticity, and softness. I apply it after washing, leave it in a few minutes, and my hair feels instantly healthier. Definitely worth the price—one bottle can last up to six months if used correctly.

Conclusion:

Being a woman isn’t always easy. Life can be challenging, and sometimes we try to distract ourselves by indulging in things that make us happy. For me, buying and shopping is therapy—it makes my inner child happy, and I know it does the same for many women.

I also want to take a moment to express my gratitude for my amazing father. He gave me the world and the opportunity to grow, teaching me lessons that have shaped who I am today. There was still so much to learn, but he did more for me than any father in my family ever did for their daughters. He protected me, prioritized me, and never cared about society’s judgment or brainless opinions. He put me above everything and everyone else, and I will love him for that forever. I truly wish there were more fathers who see their daughters as human beings with emotions, capable of being nurtured, valued, and empowered.

Winter Must Haves

Leave a comment

Hey guys!

This post is dedicated to everyone who wants to invest on basic yet effective must haves for winters. The cold weather leads to dry skin which means you need to have good products in your routine which protect your skin barrier. A good diet too helps a lot to combat harsh weather conditions. And try to limit your caffeine intake.

CICAPLAST BAUME B5+ REPAIRING BALM

This is something which goes everywhere. Your face & body. It’s for dry skin but the zinc in this helps fighting the acne as well. Usually i’ll put it on my face like a mask before I sleep and let it sink in my skin without rubbing it on. It literally does wonders for dry skin. And when you wake up the redness on your skin due to acne just goes away. It literally gives you baby skin. I use it on its own after my skin toner and serums or even after my retinols. This is perfect for sensitive skin. If you have active acne just use it as spot treatment on them and leave it overnight or even after your spf in the morning/noon.

CERAVE HEALING OINTMENT

If you get dry lips or generally want to add a lip care routine at the end of your skin care routine you should add this amazing balm to them. It has no tint or fragrance and only skin soothing ingredients. It’s not greasy like the typical petroleum jelly. It’s rich in Hyaluronic Acid (literally the best thing to add to your skin care routine).

CICAPLAST BALM B5 UV SPF 50

These winters I am obsessed with the cicaplast line of La Roche-Posay. This is a new product to their line and it is hands down one of the most amazing day creams/sunblocks I got. This is literally for every skin. Specially sensitive skin. It relieves and hydrates dry skin while protecting it from the UV rays. Remember you need an spf even if you stay at home all day.

L’Occitane SHEA BUTTER HAND CREAM

I’m a complete germaphobe and I tend to wash my hands a lot. I prefer using mild soap since they are less drying and then boom I got this hand cream and I always use it after I wash my hands. Specially at night before I sleep and put it a thick layer on my hands. It doesn’t have an extremely strong scent and it is very thick consistency and immensely hydrating (yet it’s not sticky or greasy). This can be used as a hand mask too for immense hydration.

LANEIGE LIP BALM

If you’re feeling a bit bougee and want something with a scrumptious scent definitely invest in Lip balms. Currently I am obsessed with my Laneige Lip balms. They are absolutely amazing and are literally like candy. Their gummy bear flavor is my top favorite. You can literally just put them in your handbag and reapply it whenever you want that extra hydration and glossy look.

CETAPHIL MOISTURIZING CREAM

This is perfect for your skin. If you’re someone who has extremely dry skin. Usually extremely hot showers do lead to dry and flaky skin and in order to combat that you need to have an amazing fragrance free moisturiser. It’s so important to invest on your yourself and your skin particularly. I literally spend a lot on my skin care and moisturisers. And consistency is the key to having a good skin. It won’t show overnight.

Fragrances:

YSL LIBRE INTENSE EDP, BURBERRY GODDESS EDP & Lush Let the good times roll spray.

Whenever you invest on a perfume make sure it’s EDP not EDT. EDT doesn’t have much of a lasting power (might be lighter on the pocket but not worth the money). If you want to talk about winter scents I’d say something woody, dark vanilla, oud, nougat, hints of caramel and Lavender. All these three scents have gotten me compliments and every time I use them I get asked what I’m wearing. The Lush Body spray literally makes you smell like sweet caramel popcorn or like you were baking something sweet at home and you carried on that scent with you. I recently got my hands on Perfumes de Marly Delina Exclusif (yet to use it). Will add it to the list if I find it dark/intense enough for winters.

Also it’s so important to get your monthly manicures & pedicures to make sure your nail, hands and feet are in good health. Just make sure you get your own tools and never use the tools used in salons generally (you never know who’s infected with what).

Cheers! 🥂

Lastly don’t ever let the negativity of people bother your peace. Know when to remove yourself from situations you don’t want to stay in. Ignore, remove and block. Don’t ever let this stupid world get on your nerves. It’s important to keep your composure in such a shitty world with blind and ignorant pathetic excuse of human beings. Sick.

Hey guys!

We’ve reached the end of the 5th month of this year and the time is just slipping by so fast. Anyways, I have been using some products this year which have been my go to every single time. I’d recommend these to anyone reading this blog post;

Beauty of Joseon Relief Sun : Rice + Probiotics (SPF50+ PA++++)

This is a light yet very creamy and hydrating sunscreen and i’ve been using it for 3 months now. This is contains 30% rice extract which is highly nourishing for the skin. I use it twice throughout the day once after my morning skin routine and the other layer 4-5 hours later throughout the day. I generally use sunblock a lot, even if i’m home i’ll use it.

Beauty of Joseon Ginseng Essence Water

I have been using this amazing toner and it’s my go to everytime I wash my face. Ginseng has been a cherished herb in Korean history, renowned for its benefits to our overall health and particularly our skin. This Ginseng Essence Water, is made with 80% ginseng water, harnesses the natural power of ginseng, nourishing and hydrating the skin deeply. This essence not only supplies your skin with ample moisture and nutrients but also ensures long-lasting hydration.

Bioderma Sensibio Gel Moussant

My skin has gotten really sensitive and I cannot use harsh chemicals or cleansers on my face. This has been my favourite facial wash since over a month now. They didn’t have the 200ML size available in my country to I had to order it from abroad. They had the 45ML sizes which hardly lasted me 10 days or maybe 12. This has no fragrance and is amazing when you want to wash off your stubborn mascara or even normally washing your face in the morning.

*remember you need to clean the excess makeup off before washing it with a face wash for a double cleanse and make sure everything comes off before you start your skincare*

Bioderma attoderm moisturiser

This is my favourite moisturiser. This is insanely hydrating. They stopped selling this particular moisturiser in my country *yet again* had to order it from boots and they had an amazing deal of buy 2 get the third one for free. Boots.uk has amazing deals so do check them out when ordering. Bioderma has been my favourite brand since last year.

Cosrx Pimple Patch

We all have that day when we have a pimple show up in the most obvious place on our face , and guess what I got? Cosrx pimple patch. You can literally do all your skincare and put up a patch over your annoying pimple and wait for it to go away.

Armani Luminous Silk Foundation

This foundation is everything. I am so upset that I never listened to people suggesting me this hydrating , sheer coverage and silk foundation before. It feels like your own skin and it gives you such a natural glow. I have used it 3-4 times already and I absolutely love it. This is coming from someone who has used Nars, Huda Beauty, Fenty and Chanel foundations; Armani takes the cake. Also your makeup will only look good if you take care of your skin and your diet. You can get all the expensive stuff but if your skin isn’t doing good you won’t look good.

Nars Creamy Concealer

I’ve been using this concealer since I first got it 2022. Got 2 more this year. The best part? It’s not at all heavy can be used on its own or over your foundation for a more glammed up look.The shelf life of this product is 2 years making it a major plus point to anyone who, like me, throws away makeup after the shelf life has ended.

Kiko Colored LipBalms

I absolutely love these lip balms. They are so hydrating and not too pigmented. It has the perfect balance of both. Even if it comes off it leaves a hint of the pigment on your lips. It has this immense scent of shea butter with a creamy formula. If you’re someone who loves lip balms do try it out.

Rare Beauty Soft Pinch Liquid Blush & Lip Oil

Previously i’d used their lip oil when it came out and I usually just wear it under my lipgloss for that pop of color. It’s really long lasting and hydrating and a perfect substitute for lipsticks. The cheek tint however is absolutely lovely. A little goes a long way, one dot is enough for your cheeks and i’ll definitely be repurchasing these items. I got the dewy liquid blush in the shade happy.

L’Occitane Shea Butter Hand Cream

I’m a complete germaphobe and I tend to wash my hands a lot. I prefer using mild soap since they are less drying and then boom I got this hand cream and I always use it whenever I wash my hands. It doesn’t have an extremely strong scent and it is very thick consistency and immensely hydrating. This can be used as a hand mask too for immense hydration.

Summer Fridays Lip Balm

Another absolute favourite lip balm has to Summer Fridays lip balm in the flavor; pink sugar. The scent of vanilla is very overpowering in this lip balm and it gives a hint of sugar too making it really cute. This is the best product you can carry in your bag and if you’re someone who doesn’t like using lipsticks. For all my lip balm and lip gloss girlies I’d suggest this lip balm. I’m definitely getting 3-4 different flavors in this now.

YSL LIBRE INTENSE EDP

I am a huge fan of Vanilla and Tonka generally and whatever perfume has these two as base notes tend to grab my attention super quick. I got this a couple of weeks ago and I reach for this perfume every single time. I absolutely love how it dries down on skin, it’s a perfect balance of everything. If you’re a girl who loves buying perfumes and still hasn’t gotten their hands on this one i’d suggest go for it.

Will be adding more to this list! đź©·
