Fragrance
Kayali Vanilla | 28 Eau de Parfum
Probably one of the most popular and recommended perfumes, Vanilla 28 is one of my go-to fragrances. This perfume is a sweet gourmand with key notes of vanilla orchids, tonka absolute and amber woods. It’s very sweet and has an almost overpowering vanilla scent that last all day.
You can get the travel size here or the full size here.
Kayali Eden Juicy Apple | 01 Eau de Parfum
This perfume is a fruity floral with key notes of red apples, wild berries and jasmine. This is perfect for the winter holidays as it smells fruity, yet light and long-lasting. This is perfect for layering with other fragrances.

Kayali Vanilla Candy Rock Sugar | 42 Eau de Parfum
This perfume is like Vanilla 28’s little sister. This perfume is also a sweet gourmand and has me notes of candied pear, rock sugar and vanilla cream. It still has a notable vanilla scent but it's lighter and sweeter than Vanilla 28. Just like the other Kayali perfumes, it lasts all day.
You can get the travel size here or the full size here.
Kilian Paris Princess Eau de Parfum
This perfume is another one that's very popular and highly recommended. It’s a sweet gourmand with key notes of ginger, green tea and marshmallow. This perfume doesn’t last the longest but the sweet marshmallow smell really shines through while the ginger and green tea notes fade rather quickly.
You can get the travel size here or the full size here.
Viktor&Rolf Good Fortune Eau de Parfum
This perfume is definitely the more mature fragrance on the list. It’s a warm floral with key notes of fennel-gentian flower, jasmine and bourbon vanilla. It’s a very strong, luxurious fragrance that lasts a very long time.

Skincare
Topicals Faded Serum
If you have dark spots or hyperpigmentation, then this product might be your new holy grail. It’s formulated for acne-prone and sensitive skin and works wonders on any skin tone. The most important thing to note about this product is that you shouldn’t use it if you are actively using retinol, BHAs or exfoliating AHAs in your skincare routine.
You can get the mini here or the full size here.
Topicals Like Butter Moisturizer
This product works wonders for those who have sensitive skin or eczema. It’s the perfect moisturizer to use during the colder months since this time of year tends to dry out your skin a lot.
You can get it here.
Supergoop! Unseen Sunscreen SPF 40
This used to be the go-to sunscreen for both me and my mom for years before I found something new. This is a silicone based sunscreen so you do have to be careful with the other skincare and makeup products you use with it. It has a slight sunscreen smell but it's not too strong and it doesn’t irritate your eyes at all.
You can get the mini here or the full size here.
Laneige Lip Sleeping Mask
I’ve been using this lip mask for around 4 years, both as a sleeping mask and a lip balm before leaving the house. While some say it’s overpriced, I would recommend buying it either during the VIB sale or in the mini/gift sets that they have during the holidays. My favorite scents/flavors are vanilla and peppermint which is limited edition around the holidays.
You can get the Vanilla flavor here.
Makeup
Milk Makeup Hydro Grip Primer
While there are around 20 dupes of this primer on the market right now, in my opinion, nothing beats the original. It doesn’t have any unnecessary fragrances which is perfect for those with sensitive skin. This primer is great at keeping my makeup on all day despite having oily skin.
You can get the mini size here or the full size here.
Milk Makeup Hydro Grip Dewy Setting Spray
While I don’t like this primer to set my makeup, I like to use it to refresh and melt my makeup when I use a lot of powder. It leaves a naturally dewy and glowy finish on the skin.
You can get the mini here or the full size here.
Milk Makeup Pore Eclipse Mattifying Primer
Since I have oily skin, I love to use this primer on my T-zone since it’ll keep the oil at bay for longer. It plays well with both my water and silicone based products and doesn’t cause it to slip or separate.
You can get the mini here or the full size here.
One/Size On ‘Til Dawn Mattifying Waterproof Setting Spray
If it wasn’t already obvious by the video of Beyoncé performing in the pouring rain, this setting spray will have your makeup lasting all day and night. It is an aerosol spray so the scent is pretty strong after you spray it. The only downside is if you don’t shave your face, it does extenuate your peach fuzz a bit.
You can get the mini here, the full size here or the jumbo size here. *The jumbo size is limited edition.
Glossier Cloud Paint Gel Cream Blush
This blush is very pigmented and can be used for a variety of makeup styles. This blush can also be sheered out for a no-makeup makeup look. There’s only 10 shades but there is a pretty equal shade range that can work on a variety of skin tones. I used the shades Storm, Eve and Dawn.
You can get it here.
KVD Good Apple Concealer
This concealer is a very full coverage concealer but it isn’t heavy or cakey. There’s 30 shades with a somewhat equal divide among the shades. There is quite a bit of neutral undertones among the darker shades which is a bit rare for complexion products. I use the shade Tan 162.
