Year round favorites!
My all time favorite scent, year round! I’ve worn this for almost 20 years and I get stopped on the street by people asking me what perfume I’m wearing.
HERMÈS Eau des Merveilles
Been using this for over a decade! Gentle on my sensitive skin, it doesn’t strip too much moisture and helps remove makeup gently.
one-step facial cleanser
Beautiful addition to my skin care! Tiniest amount helps my whole face, and the price is SO affordable. Layer it under your regular moisturizer.
The INKEY List Hyaluronic Acid (HA) Hydrating Face Serum
Gentle exfoliation after a shower, before skincare. Swipe on your skin with a cotton round, avoiding the eye area. Use it at night before bed--if you use it in the AM make sure to add a sunscreen to protect sensitive skin.
Glycolic Acid 7% Exfoliating Toning Solution - The Ordinary
I discovered this face cream for my dry, sensitive skin a few years ago. Gentle but still very rich and hydrating for cold, dry Midwest winters. I switch to a light cream in the summer!
Kiehl's Since 1851 Ultra Facial Refillable Moisturizing Cream with Squalane
Seriously helps with dry cracked feet. Put it on with socks overnight and it’s so helpful in the winter.
PurOrganica Urea 40% Foot Cream USA
My favorite secret lip weapon. Japanese Nivea Rich Care and Color. Tinted lip balm, but also shiny and truly beneficial to dry chapped lips. Love this!
Nivea Ritchikea Color Lip Sheer Red 2g
Completely my lips but better. Color “nude” is perfection. I use it with lipstick, gloss, or even just a lip balm for extra definition. My lips but better 💋
Color Statement Lipliner
The hype is real for this one. Comfort is one of my biggest requirements for a holy grail lip product, and I’ve used this for almost 15 years. Still love it!
Almost Lipstick in Black Honey | Glossy Lip Balm
An oldie but definitely a goodie!! Beautiful pink coral flush, love how it applies, a timeless color. 🍑💕✨
Baked Blush - Luminoso
“Raspberry Rush” is a beautiful, bright red with a hint of pink. Comfy on the lips and such a happy color to wear. Can’t beat the price!
L'Oreal Paris Colour Riche Creamy Satin Lipstick
I will never tire of this gorgeous, easy to use eyeshadow! Gold/bronze/pinky color that flatters so many eye colors. So easy to use and blend, just using one swipe of a finger!
L’Oréal Amber Rush Eyeshadow
Been using this for almost a decade. Perfect for dry skin in the winter.
Cetaphil - 16.0 oz Hydrating Moisturizing Cream Body ...
I've used this drugstore setting spray for years, helps keep my makeup locked into place without excessive shine, especially for long events like weddings and parties.
Lasting Makeup Setting Spray
The best earplugs. The most comfortable, they’re reusable (until you’re ready for a fresh pair), and the only way I can sleep next to my snoring husband 😆
Ohropax Reusable Wax/Cotton Ear Plugs (6 Pair)
The absolute best gunmetal eyeshadow color. Soft, easy to blend, apply with finger or brush. A metallic, bronze-meets-silver color.
L'Oréal Paris Infallible Paints Eyeshadow Metallics, Caged, 0.09 oz.
I'm completely obsessed with this color. I discovered ILNP last year on Amazon, and they're both affordable and GORGEOUS. I love shimmer and sparkle on my nails. So this one gets a lot of use.
ILNP Fairy Forest Whimsical Nail Polish
I've lost count of how many times I've repurchased this mascara. I've used it for almost a decade and always come back to it.

I discovered these recently and bought 3 colors. Truly is a marker you can draw on your lips. 💋

Bought this in 2020 to store all my nail polishes, and it’s perfect for organizing and keeping it all out of the way between manicures.
JIASHENG Nail Polish Organizer Case 48 Bottles
My ride or die, all time favorite top coat. It has to be the Essie topcoat in the twisty bottle, it lasts the longest and doesn't peel off like the Seche Vite I've found.
Essie Gel Couture Top Coat
Summer favorites
I use a lighter moisturizer in the summer, but with bumped up SPF. This one is perfect for a light feel but know I’m getting sun protection too!
Olay Complete + Daily Facial Moisturizer with Sunscreen Broad Spectrum SPF 40
Winter favorites
My favorite winter face cream for my dry, sensitive skin. Gentle but still very rich and hydrating for cold, dry Midwest winters. I switch to a light cream in the summer!
Kiehl's Since 1851 Ultra Facial Refillable Moisturizing Cream with Squalane
My heavy lifter lotion for my hands in winter time. Thick and moisturizing, and sinks into the skin instead of just sitting on top.
Healing Hydrating Body Lotion & Cream | Gold Bond Skin Care Products
Need the heavy duty lip balm for winter time. Good for cuticles too!
