I must to admit that this particular topic makes me a little uncomfortable to share because I am far from a fashion and beauty expert. However, I do have some tried and true favorites that I know work beyond the shadow of a doubt. I also sourced my daughter, friends and sister. Everything in this particular guide is something owned and loved by either me, Emery or my sister.

I’ll start with a beauty product that is loved by everyone from teens to adults and I’m happy to report that they are now available in a biodegradable design! Of course I’m referring to a beauty blender sponge. Emery loves these (I’m a brush girl) and I always toss some in her stocking and Easter basket. I recently discovered this particular brand at Wal Mart and am happy to report that they are also available on Amazon. Emery says they feel just like her regular beauty sponges.

Environmentally Friendly Beauty Sponges

I hope these are part of the Prime Day deals because I fully intend to stock up. Emery needs to be better about cleaning and replacing her sponges! Purchase here: https://amzn.to/3O34VPY

This is a brilliant little product that I will purchase along with the sponges: a travel case.

These are fabulous stocking stuffers or “favorite things” gifts. Get them here: https://amzn.to/44pa626

Along those same lines is something I shared after our Disneyland trip: a silicon magnetic makeup brush holder. This case keeps your makeup bag clean and corrals your brushes for easy travel organization. I actually have two of them because my foundation brush by Artis is on the bigger side.

Magnetic Makeup Brush Holder

Mine are the large option. Stock up if these are part of the sale as they make great gifts! Shop here: https://amzn.to/3pCIjfS

You’ll want to clean your sponges and brushes after travel, and this is the best way to tackle that chore: Cinema Secrets professional makeup brush cleaner. I’ve purchased this many times and even given it at my book club’s “favorite things” holiday party. Your brushes will be squeaky clean and dry in minutes. This is so much better than the traditional soap and water method that keeps your brushes wet for hours.

It’s now available in lemon as well. Get the original here: https://amzn.to/3pCAjvo and the lemon here: https://amzn.to/3PFFTHY.

If they’re included in the sale, I like to order my favorite hair products. I deviate from my Moroccan Oil shampoo and conditioner occasionally and always regret it, especially during summer. I should probably go ahead and get the big pumps for my shower.

Moroccan Oil Shampoo and Conditioner

I also love Moroccan Oil dry shampoo. I actually like several brands of dry shampoo that cost less, but the smell of Moroccan Oil is the best of the best. I’ll treat myself it it’s part of the sale. My hair needs the light tones version, but dark tones is available for brunettes.

Another splurge worthy hair treat is Oribe hairspray. This really does a great job of providing hold but without being stiff.

Another repeat purchase that I’ve shared before is this Revision microdermabrasion scrub. It feels delightful…not too scratchy. I use once or twice per week. Trust me when I tell you you will want this. I’ve yet to try another scrub that comes close.

I don’t even remember how I discovered this collagen hand cream, but I’ve purchased it several times over the past few years and it’s been a lifesaver. It’s the only thing that truly helps during the winter months and it’s non-greasy. I love it. This is a great stocking stuffer for moms, a surcee for a hostess, or a favorite things item.

That’s it for my tried and true beauty products. Moving onto jewelry! Well, sort of. When Ben and I were newly engaged, my mother in law gave me an ultrasonic jewelry cleaner. It’s been over seventeen years and that baby still keeps my rings sparkling! I cannot find my exact cleaner (shocker, it’s ancient), but here’s something similar.

I’m telling you, this is one of those things that you never knew you needed. Makes a great engagement gift. I should know! https://amzn.to/46R57td

While you’re at it, add this to your cart: https://amzn.to/44yvLoB

I have a few clothing items to share as well. To the surprise of no one, “the Amazon dress” makes the cut. I own and love this dress in several colors. It looks more expensive than it is. It’s perfect for everything from dinner to church to simply running errands. They’re comfortable and flattering. I can’t say enough good things about “the Amazon dress.” The price point is fabulous. Treat yourself even if these are not included in Prime Day sales.

My sister introduced me to this next staple: EVALESS blouses. The colors and prints are stunning. Like the dresses I mentioned above, these look more expensive than they are. Perfect for working girls or a dinner out! At this price, you can get several.

EVALESS Tops

All of these and more available here: https://amzn.to/3rgIyxJ

The tops are a little sheer, so you’ll want a tank to go underneath. Amazon to the rescue!

One pack of these and you’ll be all set: https://amzn.to/3pBVRrQ

Speaking of coverage, if you’re one of the lucky ladies who can go without a bra, add these to your cart immediately. They stay in place no matter the circumstances. I tried a different brand a few years back and hated them. These are legit. Nippies for the win! https://amzn.to/44y80wP

Happy shopping! I’ll share more if I stumble across anything fabulous that I didn’t cover.

Have a great weekend!
