My go-to Vitamin C serum. On my second bottle. The texture is beautiful and it keeps my skin clear.

This is very moisturizing and soothing! Sometimes, I use this instead of moisturizer on days that are more humid.

This has helped fade away some of the hyperpigmentation I used to have. Also good for scars/discoloration from acne!

An excellent sunscreen. Gel-like, moisturizing, doesn't leave a cast. If you have skin on the drier side, consider this one!

I've tried more than 11 sunscreen sticks and nothing has ever topped this one. I don't leave the house without this. Perfect for reapplication throughout the day. She feels so cooling on, she glides on so effortlessly (no tugging), and is not sticky....
Clear Sunscreen Stick SPF 50+ - Shiseido

This was the toner that made me believe in toner! Suitable for sensitive skin and combination skin (this is me). Gentle and leaves my cheeks feeling so smooth. I'm on my 4th bottle. I gifted one of these to my friend last year - and now she also has ...

To help minimize visible pores. I used to have more visible pores around my nose area. Ever since I added this to my regime to help clear them out, they have really shrunken away. This formula also feels really nice on and feels so hydrating. A littl...

If you have sometimes angry feeling skin, I think you might light this one!

When I can feel something brewing underneath the surface of my skin, I dab this on! It stops anything from surfacing! I've actually worn this while out and about because it's not visible when on.

P.S. I'm a perimenopause baddie - if this at all helps?

Confession: I don't love make up. So, I'm picky about how products feel when I'm wearing it.

This gives me a youthful bouncy looking cheek. It's fun to dab on - I just use my fingers. A little goes a long way.

I love this lip tint. I have this in 3 colors. Feels very comfortable on. Not dry feeling or looking - like many lip tints can be. I like this more than the Benefit one and the Elf one. I have those two, but end up always reachign for this one.

I use this palette every day (I use #2). This goes on before anything else. For every day, I just have a couple of swipes from a shade or two from this palette and some mascara on. My skin tone is cool to neutral.

I love this brow pencil because it gives me a soft and natural look - with some good staying power. If black tends to be too dark/intense for you, and brown just doesn't seem to look right - try this in Grey-Brown. It works so well for me.

Ooooof. This on my cheeks, eyes, and lips + mascara is A+. Most of the time, I just use a light hand/my ring finger to dab this on.
