Shine Cosmetics – I’ve been using Shine for years and they’ve never failed me! Goals is my fave lip gloss ( I created it) , I can’t live without their BB Cream, love their bronzer/ highlighter sticks, AND they just launched new makeup brushes that are amazinggggg. Code TARA saves you 10%!

Lip Replenisher – This one is a splurge, but when I tell you it’s the best overnight lip mask I’ve used.. I mean it. It’s THICK and last well over 12 hours. My lips get so dry in the winter and this is my saving grace.

Kopari Hair Mist – Love these scents, it’s hair perfume! Honestly, totally can be used as a body spray too.. I have definitely done this.

Fold Down Toiletry Bag – This can hold everything you need. 4 compartments so it holds a ton. It folds up so nice, I love my Tobiq one but for when you need one that hangs, this one is great.

Dior Lip Oil – If you are wanting a HIGH GLOSS look this lip oil will achieve that! A ton of color options too, all are super subtle.

Mascara – This mascara is like a mix between a tubing and regular mascara.. the brown + burgundy looks very natural and doesn’t transfer under your eyes. It’s my favorite!
