Skincare
The face products I actually use, repurchase and recommend — hydration, glow, barrier support, SPF and the things that make my skin look noticeably better.
This is expensive, but goes a very long way and I think is worth it. Super soothing, deeply moisturizing, and especially good when my skin feels irritated or overdone. I love that it works as an all-in-one face/eye/lip balm too. I also love that it's...
Le Balm Unscented - Skin Savior Solid Serum
One of those skincare products that makes everything else work better. It’s basically an essence, toner and serum in one — super hydrating, calming when my skin is looking red, and gives that really good plump, glowy finish without feeling heavy. I l...
Pearl Peptide Glaze 3-in-1 Essence Toner Serum for Hydration & Redness
This is one of those products that makes my skin feel instantly more balanced. It’s hydrating and calming without being heavy, and I especially like it when my skin feels a little irritated, dry or just off. It gives that soft, bouncy, healthy-skin f...
Royal Tulip Hydrating Bi-Phase Tonic
A vitamin C oil that actually feels luxurious instead of heavy. It sinks in fast, gives my skin that soft, glowy finish, and is especially good when I want brightness + hydration without adding another complicated step.
Royal Tulip Vitamin C Facial Oil
Yes, it’s wildly expensive — but this is the kind of moisturizer that makes me understand why people spend that much on skincare. Rich and nourishing without just sitting on my face, and my skin feels softer, smoother and noticeably more hydrated whe...
La Cream Skin Longevity Crème
This is the one I’d reach for when my skin is irritated, red or just generally freaking out. It’s lightweight, sinks in fast, and is designed to calm stressed skin while adding hydration and helping support the skin barrier.
Recovery 27 Bio-Soothing Restoring Serum
I always have a bottle of this in my fridge and mist it on throughout the day. It’s one of those products that feels instantly refreshing and hydrating, especially when my skin is feeling dry, hot or generally over it. Cold from the fridge = even bet...
Josh Rosebrook Hydrating Accelerator - Clean, Natural Moisturizer
Another permanent fridge staple. I don’t even own a NuFACE device or use their other products — I stumbled onto these and still haven’t found a face wipe I like more. They’re double-sided, individually wrapped, and somehow feel way more substantial t...
NuFACE - Prep-N-Glow Facial Towelettes
One of those face oils that feels super luxe without being heavy or greasy. It’s nourishing and glow-y, but what I really like is that it gives you retinol-like smoothing benefits without the usual harshness. A very good last step at night when your ...
Supernatural Face Oil
The sunscreen I actually want to wear every day. Lightweight, hydrating and doesn’t feel like a chore to put on — which is honestly half the battle with SPF. It gives skin a really nice healthy finish without feeling heavy or greasy.
The One Daily Sun Cream SPF 30
Basically an entire hydrating routine in one very cute little lineup. Cleanser, milky toner, serum, moisturizer, eye cream and lip serum — all focused on hydration and barrier support, plus it comes in a reallllly cute travel bag. I like that it’s a ...
Main Attraction Hydrating Super Set - Bubble | Ulta Beauty
Tried this on a whim and immediately got the hype. My skin looked so much plumper and glowier the next morning. Definitely buying these again.
Deep Collagen Power Boosting Overnight Sheet Mask - SUNGBOON EDITOR | Ulta Beauty
I bought this on sale during Prime Day and I’m genuinely obsessed. This is what I always want an overnight mask to do but they usually don’t — it actually locks everything in. I do my normal skincare routine, put this on as the final layer, and wake ...
PDRN Pink Caffeine Night Wrapping Mask - medicube | Ulta Beauty
Self Care
The extras that make me feel more human: body care, wellness, deodorant, treatments and slightly indulgent things that are genuinely worth it.
Tanning drops people keep asking about
Sorelle Tanning Drops to Drink - 100% Natural Oral Liquid ...
Made by ballerinas who were tired of deodorants that couldn’t keep up — which honestly tells you everything. It’s made to work through sweat, movement and long days, and I genuinely love the formula. The discovery set is the best way to try it becaus...
The Deodorant Discovery Set
Definitely a splurge, but such a good at-home wellness luxury if you love saunas. It gets seriously hot, folds away when you’re done, and turns a random night at home into a full sweat-and-reset situation. I love that it doesnt take up much space and...
Infrared Sauna Blanket
Basically a hot-and-cold tool for tired, puffy eyes — which feels very worth it on mornings when your face needs help before you do. It cools in seconds, has three heat and three cold settings, and the curved tip is made to glide right under the eyes...
Peach TheraFace Depuffing Wand Heat & Cold Eye Massager - Therabody | Ulta Beauty
An at-home lymphatic massage kit that feels much more spa ritual than “body tool.” I like that it gives you the cup plus the products you actually need to use it properly, and the whole routine is only a few minutes per area. Very into anything that ...
Body Sculpt Kit
A screen protector that converts some of your phone’s blue light into red light is exactly the kind of wellness-tech crossover I’m curious about. If I’m already staring at my phone all day, I love the idea of making the screen work a little harder fo...
iPhone 18 Pro Red Light Converter - BodyGuardz | Ulta Beauty
I actually own this one, and it’s one of those things that feels a little more special than it needs to. I’m a sucker for anything that reminds me of Freddie, and the little dog detail got me immediately — but it’s also just genuinely beautiful enoug...
Large Amazing Hair Day Brush - Dog
Makeup
This is one of those mascaras that makes your lashes look dramatically better without turning into a clumpy mess. Tons of length and volume, really good separation, and it holds a curl without feeling heavy. Also love that it’s flake-resistant and co...
Cloud Mascara
