Products I Repurchase
The products that have earned a permanent place in my routine. If I finish them, I buy them again because they work, I enjoy using them, and I’d genuinely miss them if they disappeared.
SPF only works if you actually want to wear it, and that’s why I keep replacing this one. It feels light, sits comfortably under makeup and doesn’t make everyday sunscreen feel like something I have to tolerate.
La Roche-Posay Anthelios UVMune 400 Invisible Fluid Non-Perfumed Suncream SPF50+ 50ml
For me, Crème de la Mer is the ultimate luxury skincare splurge. I love the idea of its rich, comforting formula, designed to give dry skin lasting moisture and a smoother, dewy finish. It's definitely an investment rather than an everyday essential,...
La Mer Crème de la Mer Moisturising Cream
Good for the nights when I just want everything off my face without irritating my skin. It melts away makeup and sunscreen, rinses clean, and leaves my skin feeling comfortable rather than tight. Simple, gentle and easy to stick with.
The Ordinary Squalane Cleanser
Nothing fancy, which is partly why I like it. It absorbs quickly, gives my skin enough hydration for everyday use, and doesn’t leave that heavy layer some moisturisers do. One of those reliable products that just gets on with the job.
Natural Moisturizing Factors + HA - The Ordinary
Eye products can feel like an unnecessary extra, but this one is easy enough to keep in my routine. It’s lightweight, applies nicely and gives the under-eye area a little more attention without turning skincare into a 12-step process.
Beauty Of Joseon Revive Eye Serum : Ginseng + Retinal
I tend to reach for this when my skin looks a bit flat and needs more hydration. It layers easily with the rest of my skincare and leaves my skin feeling softer and looking fresher without adding much effort.
Medicube PDRN Pink Peptide Serum 30ml
I love beauty products that make getting ready simpler, and these are exactly that kind of find. Each Balmie can be used on your eyes, lips and cheeks, so you can create a whole look without carrying half your makeup bag around. I also really like th...
3-in-1 Balmie Crayon Super Fan Pack
This is a proper head-to-toe treat rather than one of those gift sets where half the products get forgotten. It brings together L’Occitane favourites for face, body, hands, feet and nails, including the Almond Shower Oil, Shea Butter Hand Cream and I...
Best of L'Occitane
This is my softer, easier fragrance choice. It feels fresh, feminine and light enough for everyday wear without disappearing completely. One of those scents that works for work, lunch, weekends or an evening out without feeling too much.
Chance Eau Tendre Eau de Parfum - CHANEL
Libre is what I reach for when I want something confident and polished. The lavender and orange blossom give it freshness, while the warmer vanilla and musk stop it feeling too sharp. Great for dinners, evenings out or whenever I want something with ...
YSL LIBRE Eau De Parfum
Everyday Skincare
The products that keep my skincare routine simple and manageable. Hydration, cleansing and a few targeted extras that help my skin look and feel better without turning it into a 10-step routine.
Perfect for evenings when I just want makeup, sunscreen and the day gone without scrubbing at my face. It melts everything down nicely and leaves my skin feeling clean and comfortable rather than tight.
Beauty Of Joseon Radiance Cleansing Balm
A useful one for the days when my skin feels dry or a little flat. It adds hydration without feeling heavy and slips into almost any routine without making things complicated.
The Ordinary Hyaluronic Acid 2% and B5 30ml
I like this when my skin needs a bit more hydration but I don’t want to pile on another rich cream. It feels light, leaves my skin softer, and gives that fresh, healthy look without much effort.
Beauty of Joseon Glow Replenishing Rice Milk Toner 150ml
A straightforward body moisturiser for when I want hydration without that sticky, coated feeling. It sinks in quickly and makes daily body care feel easy rather than like another job.
The Ordinary Natural Moisturising Factors + Inulin Body Lotion
This is the kind of everyday moisturiser that earns its place by keeping things simple. Bloom Cream is lightweight, fragrance-free and made with goat milk and niacinamide to support hydration and the skin barrier, while being suitable for normal, oil...
Bloom Cream Daily Moisturizer
What stands out to me about this cream is how much it packs into one moisturiser. It’s designed to deeply hydrate while helping skin look firmer, plumper and smoother, with diamond peptides as part of the formula. Definitely a luxury skincare splurge...
Omorovicza Blue Diamond Super Cream
Nice for those evenings when my skin looks tired and I want a quick reset. It gives gentle exfoliation and leaves my skin feeling softer and smoother without needing a full at-home facial situation.
Ground Rice and Honey Glow Mask - Beauty of Joseon
I'm harder to impress with a pricey essence than a luxurious face cream, which is exactly why SK-II intrigues me. I like the focus on smoother-looking skin, improved texture and that healthy, fresh-faced glow rather than another layer of heavy moistu...
Facial Treatment Pitera Essence
Quick Makeup
Makeup for the days when I want to look more polished without spending ages getting ready. Quick, reliable products that do their job with minimal fuss.
Useful when I want some coverage without doing a full face. It evens things out quickly, cuts down shine, and is easy to throw on when I need to look a bit more polished without layering several products.
Superpowder Double Face Makeup - Powder Foundation - Clinique
One of those products that makes you look more awake in about ten seconds. I like cream blush for quick makeup because you can tap it on with your fingers, blend it out and move on. The finish is fresh rather than overly made-up, which works perfectl...
Merit Flush Cruelty-Free Blush Balm
A quick spray at the end and I’m done. I like this for busy days because it helps makeup stay looking fresher for longer without adding another complicated step to the routine.
L'Oréal 3-Second Setting Mist Spray
Low-Maintenance Beauty
The treatments and tools I use when I want better results without adding loads of extra steps. Easy masks, devices and low-fuss extras that fit around a normal routine.
A good one for nights when my skin looks tired and I want to do something without doing much. I put one on, leave it to work, and my skin feels more hydrated and smoother afterwards. Very little effort for a noticeable reset.
BIODANCE Bio Collagen-Real Deep Mask
Exactly the kind of beauty product I like — put it on before bed and forget about it. It gives dry lips a proper hit of moisture overnight, so they feel softer by morning without adding another daytime step to the routine.
LANEIGE Lip Sleeping Mask
A moisturiser with SPF built in is one of those small routine upgrades that makes mornings easier. This ELEMIS day cream combines broad-spectrum SPF 30 with a lightweight gel-cream texture and marine ingredients designed to hydrate, smooth and suppor...
Pro-Collagen Marine Cream SPF 30
Brows are one of those little details that can make your whole face look more put together, and Gimme Brow+ keeps the job quick. The tinted fibre gel adds natural-looking fullness while shaping and smoothing the brows, with a buildable, water-resista...
Gimme Brow+ Volumizing Eyebrow Gel
