With makeup trends that come and go, it's crucial to have products that you can rely on throughout every season. Through my own numerous trial and errors, I've found my top four beauty products that are there through thick and thin. You won't want to miss out on these underrated staples that will change your makeup look for the best.
1. "It's a 10: Miracle Leave in Plus Keratin"
This product is a lifesaver- especially if you're short on time. Apply this treatment throughout your hair before styling or wear it solo. "It's a 10" removes frizz, detangles, and leaves my hair feeling soft and shiny. Even though I don't have keratin, this treatment helps to smooth and somewhat straighten my hair. If I'm lacking time to blowdry and style my hair, I apply this product to diminish worries of frizz and unruly locks. I've relied on "It's a 10" for years, and do not plan on removing it from my beauty routine any time soon!
2. "Drunk Elephant: D-Bronzi Anti Pollution Sunshine Drops"

I am forever grateful to my best friend for introducing me to this incredible product. Having sensitive skin, I am careful about which products I use on my skin as well as the ingredients in them. "Drunk Elephant" is a "Clean" skincare line at Sephora, meaning it's made without parabens, sulfates and other harmful ingredients. Besides being beneficial for your skin, the "Drunk Elephant: D-Bronzi" adds color to give the appearance that you're much more tanned than you are. This product is great to mix with any moisturizer or foundation to create a natural-looking, tanned face- without all of the UV rays. I cannot express enough how much I love this product for the evening my skin tone and giving me a natural tan within minutes.
3. "Ardell: Faux Mink Wispies"

Easy to apply, voluminous, and lengthy- the holy trinity of fake lashes. These are my go-to lashes- even in a hurry! I find Ardell fake lashes to be easier to apply compared to most, and just as beautiful as high-end brands. It's hard not to fall in love with this game-changer, especially when it comes at an affordable price. If Walgreens or Publix's prices aren't cutting it for you, I recommend checking out the selection at Marshall's. Marshall's carries variations of Ardell lashes at much lower prices, as well as other decent-quality brands. If you haven't tried the "Ardell: Faux Mink Wispies," I suggest doing yourself a favor and checking them out.
4. "Too Faced: Peach Perfect Setting Powder"
Before trying this setting powder, I was skeptical of setting powders in general. Although they seemed to make a slight difference in my makeup routine, I found that the sheer white powders do not blend in my skin well. The "Too Faced: Peach Perfect Setting Powder" blends beautifully, especially for darker skin tones. As someone without the patience for baking, I love applying this setting powder over my concealer and any oily areas to secure and mattify my makeup. If you're finding trouble finding a quality setting powder, I recommend trying out this product.
From setting powder to instant bronzer, these products are sure to transform your daily routine. Don't miss out on my most cherished and reliable beauty staples next time you're shopping!
