Daily skin and makeup products - things I use on a regular basis - I am more of a natural girl, not a lot of makeup, so what I do use has more meaning and purpose. I really feel like all of my bad purchases and mistakes, getting the wrong skincare an...

My Favorite Daily Things

Skin care, makeup, and haircare that I use daily - I am GenX, but people often think I am much younger.  It's not my genetics - my parents aged poorly. I believe it's my routine and lifestyle. I am okay with spending extra money to make every day a little brighter and keeping my youth as long as I can. 
Age is a gift, but we can also try to look good while doing it.

My recommendations are not just for Gen X - my daughter always takes my makeup and skin care products - she's 14 with perfect skin. 

The key is moisturizing and providing the skin with the vitamins and minerals it needs to stay healthy. The makeup - well, most makeup is crap - and the expensive stuff can also be the same crap with a fancy name and brand. Sometimes the drugstore ma... :) Just my opinion.

I always get compliments on my Bobbie Brown eye makeup, and the eye and brow liner is a great quality - and the color is great.

Can't live without this! My hair is often frizzy, no matter what shampoo or conditioners I use - this Frizz Ease serum is a lifesaver. I put it in my hair while wet, then I dry and style it. It helps calm it down a lot.

Firming cream that works! I have lost over 60 lbs, and at my age, my skin isn't as elastic, so I have been using this serum and have noticed a difference! I have been putting it on the fold of my arms where I noticed “extra skin” it looks gross so I ...

Like magic! The IL Makiage is in my daily skin care rotation. I use several of their products. I toggle between this and another skin care product.

Down there wash, I originally bought it because I thought it was a clever name, but now it's a staple in my routine. I thought about gifting this to friends, but that might be a bit weird. So, buy it yourself here.

Bath time is the best time when you can use Dr. Teal's salts! I like that they are not overpowering and help dissolve muscle aches. I have chronic pain I don't like to talk about, but epson salts really helps and this brand has a nice smell so it is ...

I use the neck and face cream daily - It's expensive don't get me wrong but it has been something I keep buying after I have used it all, typically that isn't the case for me - I will buy something and use it - maybe forget I have it…or run out but b...

This has been a game-changer for me - a Gen X who wants to look at how I feel. - I have been using this for 4 weeks now (as of Oct 3, 2025) because my lower face was looking sort of saggy, ugh! So, I started using this to firm up my skin - apparently... lost a ton of weight (well, 60 lbs) and with that 2.5 inches around my neck! what!!! My skin doesn't bounce back because of my age. – the only thing I dont like is the gel you need to use, it's sticky and I wasn't washing it off right away, so I star...

I have been promoting this on TikTok - I bought it because of all of the hype and videos of people slicking back their hair, but my hair is frizzy, but - I don't need it slicked back, but it's perfect for my hair too! I even used it before going to a...
