January 2026 Favorites – Beauty, Fashion and Wellness

| ,

I’ve been sharing my monthly favorites nearly every month for the past 10+ years but only on video (IGTiktokYouTube). I’ve never shared my favorites in a blog post but thought I would begin doing so in case you ever miss my monthly favorites video. These are all my favorite, most worn and most enjoyed products from the month. I love putting these lists together and sharing the best of the best with all of you! Here are my favorites from the month of January 2026.

January 2026 Favorites

OneSkin OS-01 Lip Mask (discount code: MAREE15)

I must own a millions lip balms and lip masks currently but this newest one from OneSkin is the only formula that I’ve been wearing to bed each night. Formulated with their proprietary OS-01 peptide, this lip mask deeply hydrates all night long. I wake up in the morning and my lips still have some on from the night before!

Remedy Skin Hand Cream

I’m VERY picky about my hand creams but immediately fell in love with this one. It’s nourishing but not greasy while also containing retinol to help target anti-aging concerns.

Sarah Creal Beauty Moisture Source

This is the only skincare product I have tried from Sarah Creal but it is a best seller for good reason. It’s one of the most hydrating and plumping essences I’ve ever tried. An essence is heavier than traditional toners. So it is best used after you have cleansed/toned, but before you apply your serums. Skip a cotton pad and pour the essence into the palm of your hands so you can press it gently into the skin. It’s a bi-phase formula so be sure to shake it up before you apply.

On the Sarah Creal website, it’s described as a liquid moisturizer which is a great description. You could even use it as a serum in your skincare routine if you are in need of added moisture. I use it both morning/night and find that it helps my skin hold onto moisture longer throughout the day. My skin is less dehydrated at the end of the day when I use this regularly in my morning routine. For my nighttime routine, I find it adds another layer of hydration that helps my skin stay balanced.

Phlur Cherry Stem

I ordered a travel size of Phlur’s new Cherry Stem scent during the Sephora sale without ever smelling it and hoped for the best. Thankfully it is even better than I imagined and ordered the full size. It’s a rich black cherry scent mixed with plum nectar, ebony wood, sugared jasmine and a hint of leather.

VT Cosmetics Reedle Shot 100

I finally began testing this top selling and viral Korean skincare product and LOVE IT! It’s unlike anything I have ever tried before but really impressed by how it performs. It’s a microneedling serum that you apply before your other serums in order to help the products absorb better into the skin. It isn’t uncomfortable but does feel like tiny little needles all over your face as soon as you apply it. It really helps to boost the results of any other serums I apply afterwards.

Kroma Wellness Bone Broth Packets

I discovered these high protein bone broth packets last winter and drank them non-stop. I love drinking one at night or even taking it with me in a thermos to drink while running errands.

Tejari Protein Powder

I have tried a ton of different protein powders but LOVE the taste of this one – specifically in the vanilla flavor. It only contains 7 ingredients and easily blends into my coffee in the morning.

Naked Nutrition Collagen Powder

In addition to the Tejari protein powder, I also add this collagen powder into my coffee each morning. It has no flavor or taste and blends easily with my frother.

Cumulus Cold Coffee Machine

My husband and I are iced coffee lovers so this cold coffee machine was a must have! It brews iced coffee, cold brews, nitro cold brews, etc so if you are someone who prefers cold coffees, this is a must try.

Nisolo Lucy Loafers

THE most comfortable pair of loafers I own! So chic and minimal but feel like I’m wearing my slippers.

Parisa Wang Gabrielle 35 Bag

This bag could easily cost double or triple what it does because of how luxe and beautiful it is. Parisa Wang as a brand focuses on making modern luxury pieces without the insane markup. Their bags are crafted in the same ateliers as many of the world-renowned fashion houses, but don’t come with the same exorbitant price tag. They produce their bags in small batches and are sent directly to the consumer rather than utilizing middlemen which can often drive up the cost. The quality and detail of the Gabrielle bag is absolutely stunning. It is probably why it’s one of their best sellers.

My skin is SO dry which means I need to use all the nourishing and barrier strengthening products I can. Here is my full morning and evening routine that would be great for anyone with dry, mature skin like myself!

If regular body cream or lotion is not cutting it this winter, trying one with additional chemical exfoliants. I ordered this enzyme body lotion to try because although I do a weekly exfoliation routine, I need something a bit stronger.

Mid-Range Priced Handbag Brands To Put On Your Radar

|

As a long time handbag lover and collector, I have always been comfortable splurging on bags that caught my eye. At one point in my career, I worked for YSL Beauty which was owned by Gucci at the time. The perks to that were getting a huge discount on all the luxury brands under the Gucci ownership umbrella. I bought so many bags because I got such a great discount but even after my discount went away, I purchased some handbags full price because they felt worth the investment. Now handbag pricing at major luxury brands has gotten so outrageous that I can’t see paying these exorbitant pricing for something that I can’t live in or drive. LOL Thankfully it seems like the retail market is beginning to understand this because so many new brands are creating handbags are price points under $1000 and often under $500 without sacrificing quality.
