10 Beauty Products I'm Most Thankful For

Everyone has beauty products they love. However, these are products I could not live without! It’s important for a person to have their own perfect blend of hair, makeup, and skincare products that make them feel their best when they’re all-natural or glammed out, so here are mine.

1) Revlon One-Step Volumizer Hair Dryer

This hairdryer is my holy grail. It is perfect for a simple  blowout look, especially when I don’t have much time to do my hair. Use this styling tool when your hair is damp for the best results for a luscious, salon-looking blow out! This tool is $60 but will give you so many beautiful hairstyles for the price!

2. Maybelline Lash Sensational Mascara

Everyone needs mascara that makes their lashes look like falsies! From the first coat, this mascara gives me so much volume, and it’s affordable too at $10!

3) Cera Ve Foaming Facial Cleanser

Looking for an affordable facial cleanser to gently remove all dirt and extra makeup? I could not live without my Cera Ve Foaming Facial Cleanser! Every night, I use this face wash to make sure my skin stays healthy, especially when wearing masks all day. For $15, make sure you have this necessity in your repertoire.

4) Wet Brush

Every time I get out of the shower I have to brush my hair, otherwise the frizz and knots will take over! Thank goodness for this brush because it easily glides through wet hair, and I use it when my hair is dry, too! This baby is only $9 and will last forever.

5) Maybelline Dream BB Fresh Cream

I am always looking for a light-coverage base for my face, and this is it! Maybelline sells two different types of these tinted moisturizers. I use the one with SPF 30 to make sure my skin is hydrated and protected, but they also offer a version with salicylic acid to help with oiliness and acne! For only $9, make sure you stock up on this gem!

6) Cera Ve Daily Moisturizing Lotion

This product is perfect for my combination skin. Every time I leave the shower, wake up, wash my face, or even remove makeup, I make sure to moisturize. Moisturizing keeps the skin healthy and young, and this product is dermatologist-approved! For only about $12, make sure you’re taking good care of your skin!

7) Reusable Cotton Rounds


Whether I’m removing makeup or toning my face, I prefer to be sustainable! These cotton rounds are machine-washable and so versatile, too. Makeup wipes can be harsh on the skin and harsh on the environment. For only $8, these are a must-have.

8) Morphe X Maddie Ziegler Imagination Palette

This palette has every color a person needs to create a range of makeup looks! I can choose a neutral or bold look using this palette, and Morphe’s products have amazing pigmentation. This product carries me through every season, and I use it just about every day. It is well worth the $38 investment!

9) Simple Micellar Cleansing Water

Whenever I’m removing makeup, I look for the most gentle and effective way to do so. Simple is an amazing brand for skincare — their name is literally Simple Kind to Skin — and their makeup remover is no different! For $11 you can add this product to your routine, and I prefer to pair it with the previously-linked reusable cotton rounds.

10) Not Your Mother’s Dry Shampoo

Last but not least, I could not go a day without dry shampoo. Though I don’t have oily hair, I get bad dandruff, so I wash twice a week and use this product to keep my hair textured and bouncy until the next wash. This brand has the best dry shampoo I’ve tried, and it also makes my hair smell amazing! Snag this product for only $7 and keep your hair looking healthy every day.


Obviously, these products are my personal favorites and I use them just about every day! I’m so thankful these products exist, and the best part is, any of them would make amazing holiday gifts. Buy one expensive product or create a basket with a few beauty essentials, and these products are sure to become a hit in any beauty lover’s life!
