At this time of year, I love the warm, cosy vibes that the scent of vanilla brings. This collection is some of the best vanilla-scented self-care products; from body butters and lotions to shower gels, body mists, perfumes, and home fragrances that I use and really rate. These picks all have that soft, sweet, creamy vanilla vibe without smelling heavy or artificial. Perfect if you love comforting fragrances, girly vanilla routines, pamper nights, gifting ideas, or budget-friendly vanilla beauty favourites. I have three teenage daughters that also use and love these products, so they’re rated by us all!

Welcome to my curated beauty list for women in their 40s with oily, pore-prone skin……just like me 🙋🏻‍♀️ Every product here is something I use daily or consistently because it genuinely works. From lightweight moisturisers to glow-boosting serums and makeup that won’t slide off oily skin, these are my real favourites that help keep my complexion smooth, balanced, and fresh. I’ve struggled with shine, enlarged pores, and breakouts for years, so I only recommend products that perform without clogging pores or feeling heavy. If you’re in your late 40s and looking for affordable, effective skincare and makeup that suit oily or combination skin, this list is full of tried-and-tested gems. All honest recommendations, all results-driven, all perfect for glowing at any age.
