The go-to makeup products that enhance your beauty and boost your confidence. These are my tried and true products that i have been obsessed with for years!!!
The older i've gotten the more ive become aware of the importance of keeping my skin safe from harmful sun rays! as a retired tanning bed queen ive turned to self tanning at home to keep a perfect glow year round without damaging my skin in the process ☀️
After months of chemically altering my hair, my hair was fried, dried and dull! These products were made from heaven! They helped me bring life to my hair. Added my favorite hair tools and accessories too! ✨
I'm 53, post-menopause (yay!) and I've never been overly precious about what I use on my face. I have had no cosmetic procedures and my eyebrows are natural because I was too chicken to aggressively wax/tweeze them to follow the thin brow trends. Here are the skincare and makeup products that work for me.

These are the products I always come back to in order to get my best beauty sleep.
All have been repurchased at least once and most have been purchased numerous times over the last few years.
I have put this list together for sensitive, dry skin and beauty products because I know how hard it can be to find products that actually work without causing irritation. These are the ones I keep coming back to because they really focus on hydration, calming the skin, and strengthening the skin barrier. My skin always feels softer, more comfortable, and looks healthier when I use them regularly. I love how simple they make my routine. The serums help bring back a bit of glow when my skin looks tired, and the moisturisers keep everything feeling properly hydrated throughout the day. They’re just easy, reliable products that make a noticeable difference especially when my skin needs a bit of extra care.

Here is where to start if you are looking to rid yourself of free radicals and go back to basics when it comes to skincare.
