It was Marilyn Monroe who said, “Give a girl the right lipstick and she can conquer the world.” The beauty bombshell icon knew: the right products help us feel confident, beautiful and ready to tackle the day.
And, it wasn’t just Monroe’s beauty we adored, it was her authenticity and headstrong confidence too. We love influencers for the same reasons. These digital creators give us a peak into their life with confidence, authenticity and vulnerability. They have us clicking the like button and thinking, “Where’d she get that? It looks great.”
So you don’t have to do an internet deep dive, we worked with three beloved Tampa Bay influencers and gathered some of their favorite products in haircare, skincare and makeup to help you mix up your routine, feel your best, and look good doing it.
