Makeup
My holy grail for a porcelain, airbrushed finish. Ultra-fine particles blur pores and control shine for 12 hours without looking cakey or flashing back in photos. I first tried a mini from Marshalls and immediately bought the full size, my T-zone has...
Laura Mercier Translucent Loose Setting Powder
Creamy, lightweight, and blends in seconds, no brush skills needed. Gives that smooth, blurred, second-skin look without feeling heavy, and you can go from natural to full coverage by layering. My 30-second base on busy mornings. Best for: normal to ...
Dior Forever Skin Perfect Foundation
Okay, if you have dark circles like I do, this is the one. It's a peachy corrector in a little pot. You pat the tiniest amount under your eyes and the purple just... disappears. I set it with a whisper of powder and I'm good all day, no creasing into...
Tarte CC Undereye Corrector
This is my lazy-girl makeup hero. One stick for lips AND cheeks. Swipe it on, blend with your fingers, done. It's creamy enough to blend but sets to a soft blur that doesn't slide around by lunch. The shade range is actually wearable, not clownish. I...
Lip + Cheek Blur
You know that 'your lips but better' shade everyone talks about? This is it. It's a mini Pillow Talk lipstick plus the matching lip liner. The liner is so creamy and stays put forever, and the lipstick is that perfect nude-pink that somehow works on ...
Travel Size Pillow Talk Lip Kit
Okay, this is the famous dupe and honestly? Reviewers say it lasts LONGER than the expensive version. It's a liquid tint for lips and cheeks, one tiny dot blended fast gives the prettiest rosy flush that survives coffee, lunch, everything. Not drying...
MCoBeauty Cheek & Lip Stain
The matte one from Dior's new Forever foundations, and honestly my pick for everyday. It blurs everything, keeps shine away and doesn't transfer, but never looks flat or cakey. Same skincare ingredients as the glow version. Fran tested both side by s...
Forever Skin Wear Blurring Natural Matte Foundation
Fran called this one of the two luxury makeup products actually worth the money, and the packaging alone is a whole moment. It is a duo, one warmer shade and one contour shade, both matte with a soft focus finish that blurs instead of looking powdery...
Matte Bronzing Brick
The second pick from Fran's luxury worth it reel, and the commenters were losing it over this lipstick too. 187 Toasted is this perfect neutral milk tea shade in Lisa Eldridge's refillable Rouge Experience formula. Buttery, weightless, with a soft lu...
I absolutely love this. My hair dries in 10 minutes flat using practically one hand, zero frizz, and it doesn't damage my hair. Worth every penny.
Supersonic Nural™ Hair Dryer in Ceramic Pink Dyson
It works, but know that consistency is everything. You have to shave before every session and your skin can be sensitive at first. After a couple of months the growth slows way down and eventually stops, then it's just maintenance once a week or ever...
Ulike Laser Hair Removal Device Air 10 IPL
This is like bringing the facialist home, minus the $200 bill. It's an ultrasound device with three modes, glow, hydration, firming. I glide it over my serum for like 5-10 minutes and my skin feels so smooth after, that lit-from-within kind of smooth...
The secret to a lit-from-within glow in just 2 minutes. These iconic 2-step peel pads pack 7 AHA/BHA acids to smooth texture, fade dark spots. Reviewers call it a "mini facial at home" and say their skin glows so much they skip foundation on peel day...
Dr. Dennis Gross Skincare
These pads are genius, one side exfoliates, flip it over and the silky side tones. I swipe them over my nose and chin where my pores are the most obvious and everything looks smoother. They keep my makeup from getting all melty by afternoon too. My p...
Medicube Zero Pore Pad 2.0, 70 Pads
This is my current morning serum and I am really liking it. The peptide blend with ferulic acid and collagen is a great combo for fine lines, and my skin looks smoother and more even since I started using it. It absorbs fast and layers well under moi...
Saw @bahrocinholli rave about this and I'm sold. That shine in her video was unreal.
Elixir Ultime Refillable Hydrating Hair Oil for Shine
This serum went viral for a reason, guys. It's pink, it's got salmon PDRN in it (sounds weird, works amazing) plus peptides, and it gives you that glass-skin dewy look from the very first use. Within a couple weeks my skin felt bouncier and my dark s...
Medicube PDRN Pink Peptide Serum
Saw @alissawcassol demo this and the gunk rolling off was wild. Body acne and strawberry skin, I'm coming for you.
medicube Body Peel Shot with Hypochlorous Acid
Moisturizers & Barrier Repair
This is my skin's emergency button. Anytime I overdo it with retinol or exfoliating and my face is all red and stingy, I slather this on at night and wake up calm. It's fragrance-free, not greasy, and works on literally everything — face, lips, hands...
La Roche-Posay Cicaplast Balm B5 for Dry Skin Irritations, 1.35 fl oz
My holy grail for dry, itchy skin. This balm keeps my skin hydrated forever, like, I put it on and forget about it. It's rich but doesn't feel gross or sticky. I reach for it when my skin gets that tight winter feeling or when eczema flares up. Safe ...
La Roche-Posay Lipikar AP+Max Triple Repair Moisturizing Cream, Body Cream for Dry Skin, 6.76 fl oz
Fran from the reel wasn't exaggerating, she called this the best face cream that exists, and apparently it's basically her personality now, lol. She says she's noticed such a difference and apparently this cream has a cult following for a reason. It'...
L’Oréal Paris Age Perfect Midnight Cream
This was Fran's recent discovery and now I get the hype, a few drops in the bath or rubbed on after a shower and my skin feels like I just left a spa. The olive oil and green tea smell is so calming, not perfume-y at all. My elbows and knees have nev...
SheaMoisture Olive & Green Tea Body Oil 2-Pack
The viral filler in a stick. @alissawcassol called it her favorite and the glow on her cheeks sold me.
medicube PDRN Collagen Volume Balm Stick
Sunscreen
Finally, a sunscreen with zero white cast! This melts into every skin tone and dries down all velvety, not sticky. I wear it under makeup every single day and it never pills. SPF 60, water-resistant, and it honestly feels like a nice lotion so I don'...
La Roche-Posay Anthelios Melt-In Milk Sunscreen SPF 60 Face and Body for All Skin Types, 5.0 fl oz
Acne treatments
If you break out, this is the stuff. It's a lightweight gel with niacinamide and salicylic acid, calms down angry pimples fast and keeps new ones from popping up. I dab it on at night and wake up to way calmer skin. Doesn't dry me out like benzoyl pe...
La Roche-Posay Effaclar Duo Dual Action Acne Treatment 0 7 Oz
