Thirty Walmart Beauty Items Excelling in Performance
Isabella Sarlija, a BuzzFeed Contributor known for her beauty expertise, often recommends a range of skincare, makeup, and haircare products that combine effectiveness with accessibility. Here's a general overview of some types of products she tends to recommend based on her style and past contributions.
Skincare
Isabella favors gentle, non-stripping cleansers that maintain skin balance. Hydrating serums with hyaluronic acid or vitamin C for brightening and hydration are also part of her routine. She recommends lightweight but nourishing moisturizers for both oily and dry skin types, and broad-spectrum sunscreens for daily use, often mineral-based for sensitive skin. Sheet masks are popular for a quick hydration boost.
Makeup
For a natural, lightweight finish, Isabella prefers tinted moisturizers or BB creams. She also recommends multi-use products such as lip and cheek tints for versatility. Black eyeliner is a staple for defining eyes, and mascara that adds volume and length is highly valued. Neutral eyeshadow palettes are ideal for easy, everyday looks, and setting sprays help keep makeup fresh and long-lasting.
Haircare
Isabella advocates for sulfate-free shampoos to protect hair health and color. Leave-in conditioners or hair oils provide moisture and shine, and dry shampoo is useful for refreshing hair between washes. Heat protectants are essential for styling with heat tools, and texturizing sprays or sea salt sprays offer volume and beachy waves.
