"Step by Step...Ooh Baby"
I noticed after turning 40, the dryness in my face became even more challenging! I was already trying to combat my psorasis (it's mostly at my hairline and a couple small patches on my cheeks). These are all my favorite go to products that are on reg...
Love how a little goes a long way! Seriously a game changer for my under eye!

This balm melts on my skin. It has the ability to give my face a fresh glow and it's become my favorite part of my routine!
Yummy Skin Moisture Repair Balm Serum
This cleanser has became my shower staple when washing my face. I've learned that double washing is the way go to and this helps wash off the first initial layer of makeup off my face. I carry a travel version for when I go on vacations. Can't leave ...
BYOMA : Cleansers
Another staple in my routine. This gem is what I use for my second round of face washing daily.
Total Cleans'r - Face Wash with Barbados Cherry
After my morning face wash, I grab this moisturizer before I start my day. I allow my skin to soak it all in before I start my steps for makeup. The smell is out of this world and it feels so silky.
Fenty Skin - Face Moisturizer
One of the craziest things I noticed after turning 40 was my eyelashes. In six months, I noticed a patch of lashes had fallen out in the same spot twice! The ordinary's lash serum came to the rescue. Not only did my lashes grow back, they were the he...

This was my everyday go to spray after moisturizer and before primer in the summer. Looking forward to continued use through the California fall and winter months!
SOS Save.Our.Skin Daily Rescue Facial Spray - Tower 28 Beauty
For 40+ year old skin, nothing gives away our age more than the fine lines and dark circles under our eyes. This is a permanent part of my nighttime routine.
belif Moisturizing Eye Bomb with Peptide and Ceramide
I can’t explain it but the trust I have in the HudaBeauty easy blur primer is huge. With my dry/maturing skin, I am looking for primers that mattify my skin without it looking stiff or dry as a board. After I put on moisturizer and let it dry, this i...
Prime & Set
I received the travel mini set in a recent gift exchange and I’m obsessed! Just a little goes a long way and the smell is so clean. Definitely treating myself to the full size versions!
Green Tea - Korean Skincare
"I start to blush, you are my sugar rush!"
One of the biggest give aways of being in the 40+ year old club (besides ankle socks) is your makeup. I love mixing brands found at Sephora and Ulta with brands you can find at your favorite Target. And I've realized, less is more (especially when it...
This foundation is my new holy grail go to. The true test was wearing it at Disneyworld. With the heat, the humidity, the long days, this foundation passed every test with flying colors for my 40+ year old skin. And a little goes a long way and doesn...
Laura Mercier Foundation
Just a couple dabs of this goes a long way and lasts all day. Very pigmented, even on my olive skin and it spreads easily with a blush brush or my finger. Currently have truth, honesty, love, and grace in my collection.

I’ve tried all of them but my lips are kept the most moisturized and hydrated when I use Laneige, especially in the colder months. These is right by my bedside as my last thing to put on before I get some zzz’s.
LANEIGE Lip Balms & Treatments
If there’s anything that challenges the Florida humidity and always wins, it’s the Nyx glue setting spray. It definitely keeps up against the pricier setting sprays for 1/3 of the price. I need this one in bulk
NYX Professional Makeup - 2.03 oz The Face Glue Gripping Setting Spray
I’ve always trusted urban decay’s all nighter setting spray. It always makes my makeup stay put, no matter where I’m going (from dancing all night at a wedding to a hot day at a theme park). When I spotted this as the newest addition, I knew I had to...
Urban Decay All Nighter Waterproof Matte Setting Spray with 24HR Wear
Dear Patrick Starr, you are an angel. I was scared to use the ultra pink setting powder but if there was someone I could trust with my olive Filipino skin, I knew it was going to be you, my (not really but wishful thinking) cousin. The pink adds the ...
ONE/SIZE by Patrick Starrr Ultimate Blurring Setting Powder
This is my holy grail during winter time. Does anyone else double up on their setting spray? Cause I sure do. Especially during the holidays, with all the hugging and memories unlocked, setting spray keeps my makeup still when happy tears come flowin...
Charlotte Tilbury Transfer-Proof Setting Spray

Such a clean scent that I love to wear by itself or layer, depending on my mood or the occasion.
Rare Beauty by Selena Gomez Fragrance
Lather me up!
WThis is my holy grail. I’ve been using this for so long that I can’t remember when I started using it but it’s changed my life. A little goes a long way and I have never had a breakout from it. It leaves my skin feeling fresh and clean without that ...
Body Wash
I always double cleanse and this is always what I use for my second cleaning of my face in the shower. The smell is so clean and it truly removes whatever is left over from my makeup melting balm without stripping my face of moisture.
Shop Face Cleansers for All Skin Types
Not much to say except for it keeps my hair perfect. I have thick hair and with a slight wave to it, I’m always challenged by shampoos that strip my hair and leave it feeling dingy and oily after a day. This does the completely opposite and the smell...
