Beekman 1802
This is one of my favorite beauty products. I spray this on after washing my face, and it instantly hydrates and it just feels so good. Serums/moisturizer go on top for a complete face care routine. I just love this, and for the guys— it’s a simple s...
Milk Shake Hyaluronic Acid & Squalane Facial Toner Mist
I swear by this, and use it every night. I add a few drops of the Beekman Dream Booster, and I swear it keeps my skin looking young(er) and healthy. It’s lightweight, absorbs quickly, and doesn’t leave your skin feeling greasy at all.
Milk RX Advanced Better Aging Cream
I know it seems crazy, but this bar soap has been my go-to facial cleanser for years. It’s creamy, and non-drying and doesn’t make my skin tight or dry. My wife has incredibly sensitive skin, and this is the only facial cleanser she will use. It’s al...
Milk Bar Facial Cleansing Bar
These are a staple for me and I have them in my car, in the bathroom, in my bag, in the bedroom, and I always take a pack when traveling. Perfect for cleansing and refreshing your skin, without harsh chemicals. Skin stays hydrated, and you can use th...
Goat Milk Facial Cleansing Wipes – Perfect for Sensitive Skin
Like the facial soap, this is amazing. So creamy and hydrating— you almost don’t need moisturizer after your shower. They smell so good, and it’s clean beauty! My wife has incredibly sensitive skin, and she will use no other soap. The regular size ba...
Goat Milk Soap - Clean and Natural Bar Soap
This stuff is a miracle. What can’t it do? You can use it in any way you’d use petroleum jelly, but it is nourishing and good for your skin, unlike petroleum jelly. It lets your skin breathe, and feels luxurious as you apply it. I use it underneath m...
Wonder Milk Buttery Botanical Jelly
This is luxury in a tub. So creamy and rich, but goes on light, with absolutely no greasy feel. You feel the results immediately— skin is soft, smooth, and supple. This is clean beauty and is great for sensitive skin. We use the Pure (and it is truly...
Cruelty-Free Goat Milk Whipped Body Cream
This is my go-to eye cream. It goes on light, and it works wonders— dark circles and wrinkles around my eyes are lessened greatly. Super happy with the results!
Beekman 1802 Mushroom Goat Milk Eye Cream
Super Glam
My absolute favorite nail polish. I get my toenails done regularly (yes, as a guy!), and I love supporting minority and women-owned businesses. Also, the colors are just fantastic, and when used with their base and top coats, the color lasts FOREVER....
mooncat
I use this every night before bed. This stuff keeps my lips so hydrated and soft— so if kissability is important to you, you should be using this as part of your lip care regimen (guys, you should want lots of kisses right? Take care of your lips! Th...
Hit Snooze Lip Mask
Sometimes despite my best efforts, my lips can get chapped— especially in the dead of winter. This lip scrub works wonders. A light coffee taste and gentle exfoliation gets rid of dead skin, and it hydrates as well. I follow that up with the Hit Snoo...
Pout Party Coffee Lip Scrub
1
Looks cool, works brilliantly. This black lip balm goes on with the barest hint of color (don’t worry guys, you won’t look like you have anything on) that enhances your lips as well as protects and moisturizes them.
The Black Lip Balm | Hydrating & Moisturizing Sheer Lip Balm
Who doesn’t love Hello Kitty? (If you don’t, unfollow me now) Who doesn’t want an occasional hit of sparkle? Well, now you can have both— easy on, easy off, gives just the right subtle (or not-so-subtle; your choice!) glittery glam for any occasion!
The Crème Shop x Hello Kitty Glitter Gel, Sparkle Time
My favorite beauty supply store. Great selection of clean beauty products and Hello Kitty themed products at a great price. Ultamate Rewards are really great as well. I’m so glad to have two really close to me!
Ulta Beauty
Subscription hair care service that allows you to customize your formulas exactly for you. Not only can you personalize the scent, but you choose what your hair needs and that formulation is uniquely yours. It’s a cool concept, and I’ve been very hap...

Sun and Fun!
This stuff is amazing. I love how it feels going on— it goes on sheer, not sticky, and it really is unseen. This is perfect for face, but works anywhere. This is my summer staple!
Unseen Sunscreen SPF 50
Another great sunscreen! The smell of Vacation is the absolute best of any sunscreen I’ve ever tried. I use the spray mostly, but for a real treat try the whip!
Store | The Worlds Best-Smelling Sunscreen - Vacation Inc
I bring this to the beach to protect my lips. Perfect balance of protection and hydration, with a pleasant feel and taste.
SPF Lip Balm - Hydrating Lip Sunscreen
Go Ahead— Smell Me!
I struggled finding a natural deodorant that actually worked— I’m glad I gave Akt a try! I put it to the toughest test— I used it for a month in Bali in July, and it kept me smelling great! I love After Thunder, and getting the set with the tool and ...
The Deodorant Balm - AKT
This one is in heavy rotation— it’s a great going out scent, and is a perfect gourmand for people (like me!) who don’t like gourmands. The combination of cherry, leather, and spice is amazing, and works so well together.
CHERRY PUNK | Eau de Parfum
This is one of my favorites, and it gets the most compliments of any fragrance in my collection. It is wearable in any situation— work, travel, going out, or staying home. It’s a genderless woodsy floral (thanks to ylang-ylang and sandalwood) that is...
Le Premier Parfum 50ml/1.7oz
Luxury and sexiness in a bottle. Mint, rose, and leather. This is a bold scent from an amazing perfumer. I wear this when I want to feel and smell sexy. Trust me, you will love the reaction of anyone who gets close enough to you to get a whiff of thi...
Black Rosette
This is an infinitely wearable fresh scent. Appropriate for any setting, it isn’t overwhelming but has definite character and depth. The combination of sea salt and sage is inspired!
Sea Salt & Sage Fragrance
One of my favorite perfume houses-/ Etat Libre d’Orange is insanely cool and creative. So many of their scents are over the top in the best way possible, and Secretions Magnique is perhaps their most diabolical yet. It’s polarizing to say the least— ...
Sécrétions Magnifiques - Eau de Parfum
I bought a bottle of this in CDMX. This is the only fragrance to capture the smell of the monstera plant, and it’s a gorgeous green scent. I love supporting local and smaller perfume houses.
