My recommendations for what to use if you want to start waxing! I’ve been waxing at home for 5 years now, it’s much better than shaving because you only have to wax every couple weeks.
After testing dozens of Korean lip products over the past year, these are the 20+ that actually earned a spot in my routine.
Long-lasting lip tints that survive meals and coffee, glosses that give that “glass skin” juicy finish without stickiness, and lip care that repairs rather than just masks dryness.
Organized by what you’re looking for, so you can skip straight to your pick ;)
a cushion foundation is really practical because you wont need to carry a foundation brush and foundation with you! down below are some recommendations!
I’ve never felt my age and considering I just turned 40 this year, I’m lucky enough to age gracefully.

Having curly or wavy hair can be fun but it comes with a learning curve. Over the years I have tried several products looking for the best thing for my hair. For reference, my hair is technically considered wavy - probably a 2A-2C. It is coarse, thick and has quite a bit of gray. The curls / waves change and get tighter or looser based on the weather and humidity. I have tried the “curly girl method” but realized that I needed to break some of the rules for best results.

I obsessed with sunscreen. After trying all kinds of sunscreens—from affordable drugstore picks to high-end favorites—I’ve found a few that truly work for my combination skin (which can be breakout-prone at times). I prefer lightweight, water-based formulas that don’t feel greasy or clog pores, but still give strong SPF 50++ protection. These sunscreens not only sit well under makeup but also keep my skin feeling fresh and calm throughout the day. If you're looking for sunscreens that are gentle yet effective, this list is for you!

As a skincare geek who visits the derm monthly, I’ve tried SO many products over the years. i love researching products based on the effect im looking for on my skin. here’s everything I’ve liked and why!
Your daily dose of effortless glow. I use these products on the daily, day and night. These are all amazing products that saved my face when I started breaking out a year ago at 31 years old.
Curating this list, I ensure that I test BEFORE I buy, meaning I will always spray a decent amount near the crook of the arm, so the scent is not washed away from handwashing, and note the time of spraying, to test the longevity of the scent and well as what it trully smells like with my body chemistry.
I focus on performance-driven beauty for 40+ skin. Every product in this list blends seamlessly, respects real texture, and delivers results without aging the face. These are products I’ve worn, tested, and trust. Curated with experience, not hype.

Being always on a budget, I still maintain practical and reliable pampering regimen. I tried using a range of beauty and wellness products perfect balance between affordability and quality. These items are game-changer indeed in my routine—not only are they budget-friendly, but they deliver visible results without compromising on ingredients or performance. What I love most is how inclusive they are. They're suitable for all ages, making them ideal for anyone looking to start or elevate their self-care journey. Even better, they're perfectly suited for Asan (Asian) skin tones and types, enhancing natural beauty while being gentle and effective. Whether it's skincare, haircare, or wellness essentials, these products have earned a permanent spot on my shelf. Quality self-care doesn’t have to be expensive—it just has to be the right kind.

I have maintained Rouge Status at Sephora for 10+ years so I like to think I know what I’m talking about! I promise I will ONLY recommend products that I actually use and would buy again.
Ive struggled for years with a mixture of hormonal acne, general skin texture, redness, hyperpigmentation (post inflammatory erythema) and ended up making it worse by using products that did more harm that good on my sensitive clog prone skin and damaged my skin barrier. I finally have clear skin and know what works for me and what doesn't from lots of trial and error. Ive tried to include a mixture of price points! Its also important to me that and products i use in the AM sit well under makeup so none of these products pill don't worry :)
Want your hair to be shiny and soft? These are the products I absolutely love and recommend without hesitation! I have been using these products for years and have found that they are the absolute best for achieving shiny hair and a top-tier blowout at home.

As one of my favorite drugstore brands, I had to make a list of its own. Every single one of these products was tested by me, and I would love to hear that they worked for you as well!
