items My Skin & hair care essentials. Things I can’t live without!
Absolutely ADORE this super hydrating, magically soothing, easily absorbed facial lotion.
Rose Ceramide Cream - 1.70 fl. oz.
The very, very best glowy shimmery, sheer & moisturizing skin treat. With SPF, total bonus.
Halo Glow Skin Tint SPF 50
The gold standard for very dry skin. The smell is nostalgic and it’s goes on easily and is readily absorbed. Such a hydrating classic, with simple, straightforward ingredients.
Facial Moisturizers
This incredibly pretty smelling, richly moisturizing, deep conditioning hair treatment brought my parched waves back to bouncy life. I love love love this! My dry, processed hair can’t live without it!!!
The Richer One Moisture Repair Deep Conditioner
I absolutely adore all the yummy & gentle Marvis toothpastes. But my all time favorites are the Jasmine Mint ( purple tube) and the Anise Mint ( black tube). I love the way they feel and they seem to be more gentle than regular old toothpaste ...
Marvis jasmine toothpaste
Incredible, velvety, matte lippy. I always wanted to be a girl who wears lipstick-but I’ve never found one that looks good on me. This is magic! It’s so smooth, not sticky, feels hydrating, and you can really control the intensity of the color by ...

My absolute favorite new Sunscreen. It goes on so smoothly. It sinks into my skin. I’m highly sensitive to all kinds of typical sunscreen ingredients and this doesn’t irritate my facial skin, or my eyes. It stays put and looks just a touch shim...
Sun Barrier Mineral Sunscreen SPF 50 - Prequel
I’ve been using Benetint Lip & Cheek stain for probably 30 years. Now, it’s widely available-but back in my 20s I had to travel to Saks to buy it because it seemed to be more exclusive then. It’s perfect. It’s subtle if that is what you want...
Benetint Cheek & Lip Stain
Another Pixi by Petra product that I cannot live without! I’ve been using this for several years a few nights a week. It’s a gentle yet highly effective chemical exfoliating tonic. I have extremely sensitive skin and I have worked up to using this pr...
Glow Tonic Exfoliating and Brightening Toner
This shimmery little blush is an absolute delight. Here I am wearing the most subtle little hint of a dewy swipe of the shade “Juicy” on my cheekies! I go pink very easily in warm weather, so I tend to go for “subtle” but this could me maximized f...
On-the-Glow Blush - Tinted Moisture Stick
I love Avene products so much. But this Cicalfate is wonderful for any irritated or damaged skin. It’s very soothing. I used it after I had 2 very small suspicious looking freckles frozen off of my forehead at my derms office. I swear it help...
Cicalfate+ Restorative Protective Cream
This is a wonderfully hydrating facial cream with a soothing quality. My dry sensitive skin drinks it up. I have a difficult time finding skin products that don’t irritate my face & sensitive eyes. This is one of the wonderful exceptions. I...
Hydrance RICH Hydrating Cream
My favorite cottage cheese! I eat this stuff everyday. It’s a meal for me with black pepper and some nori seaweed crisps. Protein and probiotic rich, it’s healthy, filling and incredibly yummy!! It’s a staple in my fridge.
Good Culture
I recently discovered this bottle of magic! It’s so good! I used it to revive my 3 day out natural curl and it left my tresses glimmering with a shimmery gold. I need to get my hands on more because this bottle surely will not last me long. I lo...
Shake & Shine
I recently started using the St. Barts Mist on my hair and neck and I really can’t say enough good things about it! It smells dreamy, tropical, light, not too overpowering and it doesn’t smell cloying and I am sensitive to strong perfumey smells. ...
Hair and Body Mist Travel - St. Barts Scent
This is a really excellent fine grain exfoliating “polish” with glycolic acid. I primarily use chemical/acid exfoliaters-but about once every 7-10 days I use a bit of this scrubby situation, being careful not to leave it on my skin more than just a ...
Peel & Polish
This cleansing balm feels really luxurious and decadent. It melts into the skin and gently but effectively removes my sunscreen, makeup and the rest of the day. It’s gentle on my delicate sensitive skin. I highly recommend it if your skin is sen...
Take The Day Off™ Cleansing Balm - Makeup Removers
This is the original tubing mascara - and was recommended to me by my eye doctor. I have dry sensitive eyes and this is the BEST mascara when I’m suffering from allergies and don’t want my mascara to smudge. It absolutely doesn’t smudge. And it c...
Blinc Original TUBING™ Mascara | Vegan & Cruelty-Free
I adore the salt and stone Bergamot & Hinoki deodorant. I also just added the Salt & Stone Bergamot & Hinoki body wash gel, and body lotion to my collection. It’s subtle, green, light & fresh with some kind of mysterious & sensu...
Salt & Stone
This is one of the few glycolic & vitamin C serum combos that I can tolerate multiple nights in a row. I use it before bedtime and wake up with the softest skin imaginable. I have noticed that with regular use, it has absolutely diminished the...
Skin Glow Serum | Glow Baby Booster Serum - Pacifica
I just tried this shimmery spray oil sunscreen for the first time this summer. It’s delightful, very different and kind of a fun way to get sun protection. For me being very fair, I don’t think it is 100% reliable if I’m going to be out long-BUT-th...
Sunscreen
This sensitive skin Pacifica ceramide barrier cream is so yummy. It almost feels like buttercream frosting going on but quickly melts into your skin creating a non greasy, luxurious layer of dewy goodness. I love this-winter, spring, summer or fal...
Vegan Ceramide Moisture Barrier Repair Skincare Products - Pacifica
I bought these on a whim at Marshall’s and am totally addicted and literally can’t use cotton balls from CVS ever again. How did I not know about these before. They are sooooo soft, so gentle, very less abrasive than sone cotton pads can sometimes ...
SHISEIDO Facial Cotton
I absolutely adore this Vitamin C serum. It is smooth & light and doesn’t leave my face feeling dry or tight like some other C serums. It’s very reasonably priced. I would rather spend my money on a more luxurious moisturizer than on a C ser...
HOLIKA HOLIKA Gold Kiwi Vita C Plus Serum Set
Oh please, can this possibly come in a bigger bottle! It’s THAT good! It is oh so lusciously hydrating. It’s easy on me, night or day, over serums, under eyes, before sunscreen or before bed! Pls try this. It’s affordable, accessible and stil...
Dreamy Youth: Age-Defying Skincare With Peptides - Pacifica
I just bought this skin tint/tinted moisturizer. I’ve used it 2x and gotten compliments from 2 separate gals at the grocery store on my dewy complexion. Sounds silly, but that feels good- and I’m happy to share what works! So, I would say that, ...
Makeup Revolution Superdewy Tinted Moisturiser
I have a big head of curley hair, not to mention it’s very fine and there’s LOTS of it. For me to blow out my hair, by myself, at home alone-to this smooth a degree-is wild to me. I just cannot achieve this with any other hair dryer, and I don’t ev...
Dyson Hair Dryer | Dyson Supersonic™
I used Pixi by Petra Hello Glowy Hello Kitty powder and was so impressed!!! I typically don’t use much pressed powder, but this was really illuminating, really glowy, and feels like it kind of “set” my tinted moisturizer and blush (also from Pixi b...
