Beauty & hygiene essentials I rely on and rebuy. These are the products I consistently return to — not trends or experiments, just the staples I trust.
This lip gloss provides a long-lasting protective layer on my lips in dry winter air. Yes, it also plumps the lip, but the main reason I wear it is because it prevents lip peeling, chapping, and cracking which in turn prevents cold sores. I've used i...
Lip Gloss, Plumping Serum, Polish & Cream
This cream is thick and long-lasting and is invaluable at keeping skin protected from winter air.
Moisturizing Cream - Skincare
This make-up mirror is big enough for everyday use, but small enought to travel easily. It's rechargeable, but I just keep it plugged on my vanity table.
HUONUL Makeup Mirror Vanity with Lights, 2X 3X 10X Magnification
I wish you could smell and feel this silky, soothing, effective (under $10) facial cleanser. It almost elicits a long sigh.
No7 Melting Gel Cleanser Makeup Remover
To be honest, I picked my headband up at Marshall's for about the same price, only mine didn't come with wrist bands :( It's so nice to have it gently hold my hair back when I wash off my day. Those wristbands would be especially helpful if you splash your face, so that the water doesnt travel down your arms and on you sleeves.
Pink Spa Headband & Wristband Set
A friend gave this to me, along with cream and cotton gloves, one Christmas. It feels like you're massaging your hands as you use it. And the scent! Its one of my favorite things to give to my friends.
Tree Hut Moroccan Rose Shea Sugar Scrub
My daughter gave this to me, and I was surprised by how much I like it. It actually feels refreshing.
The Ordinary Hyaluronic Acid 2% + B5
These socks are the best thing that ever happened to tired, dry feet. They feel so good, and any girl who needs a little pampering will love them.
3 Pairs Gel Socks Soft and Comfortable
I bought this because it was much cheaper than what I normally buy at the brick and mortar stores. What a pleasant surprise! It's actually fantastic!
MONDAY Dry Shampoo with Keratin
This is one of those items that elicits loyalty from the get go. Neither I nor my daughters will ever use any other brush. It's that good and comfortable.
Wet Brush Original Detangler Hair Brush
I've used these for a couple of decades. I can't be swayed. It's my favorite!
Sonicare 4100 Rechargeable Electric Toothbrush
I've used this for a long time, like about 20 years off and on. The “off” times were short-lived, because the effects came on suddenly and always drove me back.
Nioxin System 3 Scalp + Hair Thickening Shampoo
This is the difference between good and bad hair days for me. Trouble is, I only remember I need it when my hair has so much static in it that I can't do anything. Then I remember to ouse this to calm it down, and the result is magic. Figuring out th...
L'ANGE HAIR Posh Hair Polish - Shine & Frizz
Hands down my favorite toothpaste, and what I love most is how long it feels like “you just brushed your teeth.” I've heard that the AP stands for anti-plaque, that it resists plaque 24 hours (AP 24).
Nu Skin AP 24 Whitening Fluoride Toothpaste
When you don't want to pay for salon nails, and you're terrible at applying press-on nails, this is a wonderful alternative. My friend gave me a great piece of advice: before you apply these, paint a strip of clear nail polish down the center of your...
