My favorite of all makeup products, here I’ll share my top picks for color, gloss, masks and shine.
My absolute favorite lip gloss - I’ve tried nearly every shade! I highly recommend “Velvet” and “Nudie” as they flatter all skin tones. Smooth, not sticky, and perfect for eliminating those vertical lines that pop up on the lips after age 40.
Forget The Filler Lip Plumping Line Smoothing Gloss
Fruity, sheer with a light color tint and fantastic fruity scents! My lips are plumper and more hydrated when I wake up. My personal favorites are Gummy Bear and Berry.
Lip Sleeping Mask Nourish & Hydrate
Intended for overnight use, I even tap this on during the day under gloss to keep my lips hydrated and full of moisture. Shea butter is a key natural ingredient to help keep that moisture locked in and lasting. My favorite colors are Cherry Vanilla a...
Forget the Filler Overnight Lip-Plumping Mask
Tatcha rarely misses, and this moisturizing mask is phenomenal for the cold, dry winter months. It’s also great when visiting dry climates like Arizona. It does have a little applicator but I usually just use my ring finger to apply.
The Kissu Jelly Lip Mask
Dior Addict Lip Glow is pure perfection, even in its simplest shade. I keep this on my desk when I don’t want full color, because it acts a super hydrating balm. According to dior.com, it provides 48 hours of moisture and is available in 26 shades. I...
Dior Lip Glow | Balm Swatches and New Formula Comparison
This Dior gloss is worth the hype for me. I still get 24+ hours of moisture, but all the sparkle and shine of a typical gloss. It contains peptides and ceramides, so there is actual improvement over time. The colors are universally flattering for eve...
Dior Addict Lip Glow Butter: Hydrating Lip Treatment
Making Mascara Mandatory! 🩷
The right mascara defines and highlights your eyes, which makes mascara a mandatory daily part of my routine. Come explore my favorites for different needs and looks!
This stuff is amazing! One swipe and it separates and lengthens my lashes. I love it for a dramatic nighttime lash or full glam look.
lights, camera, lashes™ platinum mascara
I am a huge fan of this primer, and it is my go-to for daily lashes. I line first, then curl, then use one coat of this primer. Before it fully dries, I follow with my Tarte Tubing Mascara. I love that when I take it off at night, it doesn’t pull my ...
tartelette™ tubing lash primer
I use this one on the daily following the Tartelette primer. It’s perfect for my daily office look and gives length, definition and separation.
tarte tartelette™ lengthening & tubing mascara
I was once a devotee of the Shiseido lash curler, but the Picture Perfect Eyelash Curler from Tarte changed my opinion last year. I do have hooded eyes, so curling my lashes before mascara is essential for a wide-eyed daily look. This model can be pi...
Eyelash Curlers for Lifted, Lush Lashes
I love the sample or mini size for this product. It’s not a wrapping primer like the Tarte version, but it plumps up and volumizes my lashes perfectly. Plus the smaller size is perfect for travel and my carryon bag.
Cils Booster XL Lash Serum & Mascara Primer Base - Lancôme
This is my go-to for beach vacations and anytime I want lash definition with zero flaking or smearing. I never seem to go thru the entire tube, but because I’m a germaphobe especially on eye products, I toss this one every 12 months and pick up a new...
LE VOLUME DE CHANEL WATERPROOF Mascara 10 - Noir
Must Have ✨Tinted✨ Moisturizer
My current go to on a daily basis, I picked mine up from the Tarte website with a bonus gift of an application brush.
BB blur tinted moisturizer SPF 30
One of my personal favorites for over a decade, this one is oil free and just recently formulated to increase the SPF rating. The matte version is my favorite because it truly works to help minimize your pores.
Tinted Moisturizer Blurred Matte Oil Free Broad Spectrum SPF 30
Although I don’t use this every day, it definitely helps me on those days where I didn’t get enough sleep the night before. It covers and redness or darkness under the eyes, and I am such a fan of Tarte and their customer service. Their products work...
shape tape™ blur concealer stick
My absolute favorite highlighter palette is from Dior. I have three different versions as they keep reformulating and alter the packaging each year, but that helps me keep one in my purse, one in my office and another at my vanity. I love swiping the...
Dior Backstage Glow Maximizer Multi-Use Highlighter Palette
