Some items that are indispensable to me are the Jones Road Beauty Miracle Balm in Sunkissed — It's all in the name. This formula gives an immediate healthy glow to make you look like you just got back from vacation.
The Eyebrow Pencil— This quick, easy and waterproof formula makes my eyebrows full, which totally changes a face. The Mascara — It's really black, it's really clean, and it's really good.
For my skin, the JR Light moisturizer cream— This perfect-for-summer formula is a combination of gel and moisture to make your skin feel perfectly hydrated. Love my Debloat from EV— It does what it says. I always have at least one stick in my bag for a quick reset.
Classic slant Tweezerman tweezers in pink— there is no better tweezer on the market. I have one in my makeup kit, makeup bag, bathroom drawer, and even in my car.
For my hair I can’t live without the dpHUE Root Touch Up Stick— I have healthy hair that grows fast. It's hard to keep up between touch-ups and this helps carry me over as well as the ColorWow Root Cover Up— I like having different formulas on hand. This one is a breeze and the wide brush makes it easy to reach the back of the head. And, bonus, it can also be used as an eyeshadow!

My kit must-haves are the Tweezerman Cuticle Pushy & Nail Cleaner, the Nail Clipper and the Ultra Precision Cuticle Nipper. I always keep a few sets of these essentials with me on all my jobs to perfect a manicure. It is so important for me to have the best quality tools to get the job done properly.
A few other essentials in my kit are Kai Fragrance Body Butter in Rose, it’s so soothing on the skin with a gorgeous scent, Seche Vive Gel Effect Top Coat to finish off the perfect polish look and Mazz Hanna Cuticle Oil to soften cuticles before pushing or trimming.

The Tweezerman Slant Tweezer is a staple tool in my kit. It’s the best at removing any unwanted hairs and applying false lashes. I also love the new flat brow brush, its a great tool for creating the look of individual brow hairs for the perfect full and feathery brow look I typically like to create.
I love my Olly Sleep gummies, they are so helpful for nights when I need to calm my mind and relax my body. I chew 2 gummies 30 minutes before bed and I wake up feeling rested, refreshed and energetic.
The Pat McGrath Divine Blush in Nude Venus is a stunning peachy pink powder blush shade with golden pearl. It is one of my new go to blushes. It has a soft, silk velvet texture that is easy to blend and build for a long wearing wash of cheek color.
The one and only La Mer Creme de la Mer moisturizing cream is always my first step on clean skin before every makeup application. I simply can’t live without it. It softens, soothes, heals and hydrates giving skin the perfect healthy glow. Make sure to warm it for a few seconds between the fingers to activate, then press gently into the skin.
Lastly, SkinMedica HA5 Rejuvenating Hydrator is a moisturizing facial serum that I apply to my face, neck and décolleté day and night before moisturizer. It is made with hyaluronic acid, peptides and vitamin E which helps hydrate and soften skin, reduce fine lines and protect skin from damaging free radicals. It’s a must have in my skin ritual!

As someone who loves the natural look, eyes and brows are super important and your tools are a key ingredient for keeping a look simple. I’m a huge Tweezerman fan and getting the right pair of tweezers is not easy, getting a pair that can tweeze with perfection takes shopping around! I love the Classic Slant Tweezer, they never fail and last forever. Also in my must-have kit is the Every Lash Curler, I love how you can enhance the outer lashes to really make your eyes pop.
When it comes to skin, they key is to keep it fresh and plumped. Especially while wearing a mask, my must have moisturizer is Ren Global Protection as it helps to moisturize and eradicate redness. I also love Wander Baggage Claim eye masks, I use these when prepping the skin. Lastly, the Tom Ford Bad*ss Mascara gives the lashes length and intensity! All about the eyes for me!

I truly believe when you have great brows you don't really need to wear much makeup. Especially during the pandemic, when you can only see the upper part of your face, having good brows is the secret to looking youthful. To give the illusion of thicker brows, I use Anastasia brow wiz to draw my brow shape and fill in where I have gaps. Then, using Benefit 24- hour brow setter, I brush up the brows then press them down with your finger to set and give a feathery look. Next using Tweezerman brow scissors, trim any long and unwanted hairs along the top. Finally, using the slant tweezer, I remove any stray hairs and VOILA, amazing brows!
