Skincare for fall/winter (dry skin).
Products to keep your skin looking dewy, soft, and supple.
The ONLY lip balm I use every single day.
Aquaphor Lip Repair Stick, Lip Protectant
Pricier, but one of the best night creams I've tried. A must have for winter.
Skinfix Barrier+ Triple Lipid-Peptide Face Cream - Sephora
For heavy duty moisture on the lips, but also great for locking in your skincare by “slugging”.
Aquaphor Healing Ointment® (14oz.)
Mix this with your nighttime moisturizer and you'll be glowing in the morning.
Marula Facial Oil
When your skin needs a little extra boost. Works well over makeup too.
Curél Deep Moisture Spray
The best nighttime eye cream I've used. Would buy over and over.
Avocado Eye Cream – Brightening and Hydrating ... - Kiehl's
Amazing for daytime, even under makeup. A little goes a long way!
Natural Moisturizing Factors + PhytoCeramides
Super hydrating, perfect for makeup prep.
Lait Crème Concentré - Daily Face and Body Cream
Draws in moisture with hyaluronic acid, hydrates and repairs skin barrier with mineral water. The first serum in my routine!
Minéral 89 Hyaluronic Acid Serum
Great alternate for the Laneige lip mask if it doesn't agree with you. I love this when my lips are wind chapped.
Smith & Cult + Locked & Lit CBD Lip Balm
I use this on my hands during the winter and it works so well to keep my dry, cracked skin in check. So soothing as well.
Eczema Relief Body Cream 14 oz. Tube - Eucerin
I use this year round, but especially in the fall/winter. Perfect for after cleansing and before serums. I top it with a serum after while it's still damp to get extra glow.
Cream Skin Toner & Moisturizer | LANEIGE
My favorite for my first cleanse when I wear makeup. I’ve tried others but this one is just so good. Nourishing formula is very good for dry skin!
Clean It Zero Cleansing Balm Nourishing - Banila Co
I’ve slept on this for too long and I regret not picking it up sooner. Thick but not too thick, nourishing, and gentle on the skin. The regular moisturizing cream wasn’t enough for the colder months but this does the trick.
Skin Renewing Night Cream - CeraVe
Okay listen, hear me out….. I know, your grandma probably used this or still does. But there’s a reason: ITS GOOD. Especially in the dryer months and if you want to start slugging but straight Aquaphor sounds a little much.
Dry Skin Cream | Ponds US EN
Works beautifully under makeup so your under eyes don’t look scaly! This is also a great fragrance free option if you’re sensitive.
Skin Renewing Eye Cream - CeraVe
Skincare for spring/summer (dry skin).
Keeping your skin moisturized and hydrated, but not greasy.
Great hydration boost when your skin needs it but heavier moisturizers are too much. Gel based.
Moisture Surge 72-Hour Hydrator
A gel formula that's super hydrating AND helps with under eye puffiness.
Yerba Mate Wake Up Eye Gel - Good Molecules
I didn't want to believe, but I'm a believer. This sunscreen is so good. Literally about to repurchase. Great under makeup and feels like a moisturizer.
Relief Sun : Rice + Probiotics (SPF50+ PA++++) - Beauty of Joseon
Lightweight but still so hydrating! Perfect for the summer when I need a little less going on.
The INKEY List Omega Water Cream Oil Free Moisturizer - 50ml
Makeup products I can't live without.
I literally cannot live without this. They expanded the shade range when Smashbox took over and a little goes a long way. I always have a back up.
Becca Under Eye Brightening Corrector
Great finishing mist to help lock everything in and bring life back to powder products. Also great as a skin refresher.
Prep + Prime Fix+ Makeup Setting Spray
I don't think I've ever loved a concealer the way I love this one. Great coverage, looks like skin, and blends like a dream.
MAC Studio Fix 24-Hour Smooth Wear Liquid Concealer
I love this under my eyes to set concealer without it looking dull and lifeless. The glow is subtle and not glittery too so it doesn't look silly, just glowy.
Halo Glow Loose Setting Powder
The shade Blush Please is everything I've ever wanted in a blush. Creamy powder blush with a subtle sheen that brings so much life to the face.
Glow Play Blush | MAC Cosmetics - Official Site
I loved the OG Falsies, but this knocks it out of the park. Looks so good without flaking or smudging throughout the day.
Falsies Surreal Lash Extension Mascara
Okay this + a dry beauty blender pressed into the skin? Perfection. And it wears better throughout the day.
Mineralize Skinfinish Natural – Powder | MAC Cosmetics - Official Site
My final step in my makeup routine to just lock everything in and make it last all day. Especially helpful when it gets hot and I’m sweating.
Fix+ Stay Over Alcohol-Free 24HR Setting Spray - MAC Cosmetics
I use this after I press my powder foundation into my skin just to bring a little life back into the skin, but also add longevity. The sprayer is a little meh but nothing that makes me hate it.
Power Grip Dewy Setting Spray | e.l.f. Cosmetics
I have never found a better eyebrow gel. My eyebrow hairs get really curly and long and this keeps them in place all day. LOVE.
Glued 4 Brows & Edges 2in1 Gel - GOT2B
She’s my favorite daily powder blush. Adds some color without being too crazy for every day wear (even though there’s nothing wrong with lots of blush).
deluxe Amazonian clay blush in paaarty - Tarte™ Cosmetics
I use C0 because I’m pale as Casper, but this is so beautiful and natural on the skin. The key is to rub it in with fingers as it’s friction activated. I set in the T-zone and I’m good!
Studio Radiance Face and Body Radiant Sheer Foundation
Hair care (curly, dry).
Allegedly, this is Pureology formula in Kirkland packaging. Either way, this works beautifully and so inexpensive!
Kirkland Signature Moisture Shampoo, 33.8 fl oz, 1-count
Inexpensive and available at the drugstore, this mousse has enough hold but not too much. You can add gel for stronger hold!
Curl Boosting Mousse for Frizzy Hair - Herbal Essences
Adds extra hold and controls frizz. I usually buy this in the big size.
Curl Talk Sculpting Gel | Not Your Mother's
The pairing for the moisture shampoo, allegedly both Pureology in a different bottle. Heavy enough to moisturize my hair, light enough not to weigh down my curls.
Kirkland Signature Moisture Conditioner, 33.8 fl oz, 1-count
