Today I took you with me on a full hygiene + beauty restock day because I genuinely needed to re-up on body care, hair care, and a few makeup staples. I started at Sephora (and yes… I had zero self-control), but I moved smart: when I’m not 100% sure about a shade, I always ask for samples. As a dark-skinned girl, shade matching can be a struggle, so I tested multiple foundations and narrowed it down before committing—because I’m not trying to buy and then run back to return everything. After that, I hit Target for my real “hygiene shopping” essentials: body scrubs (I’m picky—some are just too soft), oral care, Aquaphor, and feminine care basics like panty liners. I also talked about little preferences that make a big difference, like why I don’t use loofahs (I don’t feel clean enough) and why I prefer exfoliating gloves. Then I finished with a CVS/Ulta run for hair care, including a hair mask, and ended with a mini haul of my Sephora picks—like Sephora Collection brushes, One/Size setting spray, my lightweight The Ordinary foundation, Makeup by Mario contour, and a House Labs foundation that finally feels like my shade.
