Having a bonafide nighttime routine is a sacred, elusive thing I’ve dreamt of since the early days of beauty influencer YouTube (shoutout Macbarbie07, Makeupbymandy24, and Stilababe09). My medicine cabinet ached for serums, my vanity yearned for creams, and hyaluronic acid was nothing but a promise whispered by the wind. After I started writing for Allure, time and the guidance of editor elders allowed my routine to finally fall into place. Best of all, most of my go-to’s are shoppable on Amazon and discounted during Prime Day.
So, while the sale is in bloom, allow me to take you through my nighttime routine.

Our Top Picks
Makeup Eraser
Before getting in the shower, I use my Makeup Eraser, which removes makeup with warm water and a gentle rub. The little lash casings from my brown Tarte Tartelette Tubing Mascara shimmy right off.
Quip Sonic Toothbrush
Next stop: oral care. My favorite part of the Quip Sonic Toothbrush is that it runs on a battery, not a charger. This may be a “con” for some, but my humble Brooklyn bathroom has no counter space (I regularly charged my previous electric toothbrush in the kitchen. Bad vibe.). My pink Quip leaves my teeth feeling perfectly clean.
Cocofloss
Cocofloss is a welcome reprieve from the weak, waxy stuff we think of when we think “floss.” The grippy, subtly strawberry-flavored thread gets in there, and it doesn’t hurt that the container is really cute. When I restock, I grab the four-pack.
Belif Aqua Bomb Moisturizer
Once I’ve washed my face and put on toner, I march back to my bedroom to apply the Belif Aqua Bomb Moisturizer (an elite Korean moisturizer) in all of its cooling, blue glory. “A little goes a long way” is a timeworn refrain, but when it’s true, it’s true. And, here, it’s true.
Milk_Shake Leave-in Conditioner
Then, I march to my bedroom to address my ample, damp hair. Before I brush with my Mane Ready or Knot Brush, I generously spray my strands with my bottled best friend—Milk_Shake’s Leave-in Conditioner, which I treat as a detangler.
Olaplex Blow Dry Mist
Before I go in with a bit of heat, I apply a halo of Olaplex Blow Dry Mist to keep damage at bay. Just a touch.
Dyson Supersonic
Once that’s taken care of, I give my head a rough-dry with the Dyson Supersonic, so as not to saturate my pillow with hair water. I let it air-dry a little more while I’m playing guitar or on Facetime with a bestie or collecting the six Peach Waterloo cans I’ve managed to accumulate on my desk within the past four hours.
Amazon Echo
Great. Now that I’m in bed, I kindly command my faithful Amazon Echo to wake me up at 9 a.m. Another day in the books. Father time marches on. Alexa takes the night shift. I am moisturized. I rest.
