I don't leave the house without this. SPF is a must. This product has it, plus just a little tint that gives a nice natural looking glow. Great alternative to heavy makeup, save that for the special occasions. Use this for every day.
Tinted Moisturizer: Natural Dewy, Matte & SPF Options. Light and Perfect for Every Day.
This face cream works and feels great. No synthetics and up to SPF 50 protection. This is also water resistant, non toxic, reef safe and doesn't clog pores. Can't go wrong with this. It checks all the boxes.
Stilip Organic Beef Tallow SPF 50 Sunscreen. Guilt free SPF waterproof protection. No harsh chemicals and feels light, not greasy at all. I use it under my foundation.
Don't forget to protect your lips. This is lightweight, well rated on Amazon. I put this on before I put on my lipstick. SPF 30 which is great. Feel light. Gluten free.
COOLA Organic Liplux SPF 30 Vegan Lip Balm
I love this brand. It's clean and smells so good. Light and gentle but effective cleansing for those heavy makeup days.
Origins Checks and Balances Frothy Face Wash
The quickest way to remove makeup. Not just waterproof mascara which can be tough to remove, but also foundation, blush, lipstick, eyeshadows etc. Sometimes you're just too tired to do a full face wash, but this one will do the trick. Just wet a cott...
Garnier Micellar Water Waterproof Makeup Remover - Non Greasy
This primer works. Put on first (after lip scrub if you use one) followed by your lip pencil then lipstick. Makes lipstick last longer.
Lip Primer Clear - Prevents Feathering, Enhances Pigment
This was a recent find. I love it. Not thick and cakey like some other ones I bought. This works well with the Laura Mercier tinted moisturizer with SPF. Great for your “no makeup” look. Immediate noticeable improvement upon application. So glad I ha...
Palladio Under Eye Brightener Medium Nude
My everyday hair brush. Great for blowdrying. I have thick hair. This brush really grips the hair and makes hair drying quick. This one is a time saver.
AIMIKE NaturaVol Round Brush 1.7" Barrel
I used this brand since they were Clove and Hallow years ago. I was impressed with the results. It uses squalane, a good ingredient. I haven't stopped using it and I think my skin looks great. Look for my other review on their complimentary product, ...
Clover Balancing Oil | Clearer Skin Support
This is the companion product to the Clover Balancing oil. I love using this, day and night. It's light and just makes your skin feel good. Full of really good ingredients like: Argan Oil, Black Cumin Seed Oil, Willow Bark Extract. A very nice produc...
Clover Balancing Water Balm - Gel-Cream Moisturizer for Sensitive Skin
A wonderful eye cream. A little tube lasts a long time. Goes on smoothly and can use day and night. I like this product.
RoC Retinol Correxion Under Eye Cream
This made my calf cramps go away. I was suffering from charlie horses (calf cramps) during the night and would ruin my sleep. I heard about this supplement. I've taken Pure Encapsulations Magnesium Glycinate every night for a couple years now. No mor...
Pure Encapsulations Magnesium Glycinate 360 Caps
I've added this to my daily supplement routine. Most Americans are deficient in vitamin D. Together with the K they work synergistically. Many health benefits, if you look it up you will see. My levels are great. I trust this brand.
Pure Encapsulations Vitamin D3 & K2 - 120 Caps
Got mine in September and still use it almost daily. It feels great when you apply it. Looks like they've improved the formula so can't wait to see how it compares. I'm happy with this product.
RoC Multi Correxion Revive + Glow Eye Balm 0.14oz
I love this brow pencil. Very easy to use.You don't have to be super precise, just fill in the gaps, which at our age, we tend to have. Then blend in with the other end. It's a universal color so you don't have to worry if you got the right shade. Ea...
Billion Dollar Brows Universal Eyebrow Pencil Retractable Spoolie Liner
Had my 1st one for about 20-25 years. Only replaced because I couldn't clean the bottom piece completely, possible black mold. It wasn't until I bought this one that I learned you have to keep the base dry to avoid that. This is a small investment s...
Oral-B Pro 1000 Power Rechargeable Battery Electric Toothbrush with Multiple Modes - White
I've had this for years. If you're like me and you don't put on makeup every single day, this will last a very long time. It's really light going on, and you can build on it for fuller coverage. It feels light, and it doesn't become cakey like liquid...
Laura Geller Balance-n- Brighten with Kabuki Brush
I was told by a nurse to get this after a surgery to reduce my scar. I used it daily. You can barely see the scar now. Highly recommend.
Mederma Advanced Scar Gel - 0.7oz
Keep these in your house. These last longer than traditional bandages, and with the hydrocholoid, they heal faster.
Band-Aid Brand Pro Heal 5 Day Protect Hydrocolloid Blister Adhesive Bandages - Waterproof - 6ct
I use these on my bathroom counter. They hold cotton swabs, cotton pads, bobby pins and hair elastics. No glass to break on the slick stone surface.
