L’Oreal True Match Nude Hyaluronic Tinted Serum

This is designed to be a lightweight skin tint with skincare benefits – most specifically hyaluronic acid which helps hydrate the skin. It’s not thin and runny like a serum and has a thicker texture much like a foundation. But product names aside, the texture is still lightweight and super easy to blend. It truly feels like I am not wearing anything on my skin – so weightless!

L’Oreal Le Shadow Stick

I will forever be a one and done eyeshadow gal and these shadow sticks are absolute perfection! They are smooth, creamy, long lasting and come in a ton of everyday wearable shades. I also recommend these to any one that struggles with crepey lids because they show very little texture and have a subtle blurring effect.

Missha M Perfect BB Cream

This is considered a BB cream but provides coverage like a true foundation with SPF. It gives medium coverage yet still manages to feel like I’m wearing nothing on the skin. Additionally, it is one of my longest wearing foundations! I will put it on in the morning and it doesn’t budge until I take it off at night. It gives my skin the creamiest and smoothest finish and it provides sun protection too.

Summer Fridays Blush Butter Balm

A new discovery that I loved from the first time I tried it. Perfect pigment without being too intense. Leaves a healthy radiant finish.

Summer Fridays Blush Brush

The brush is a must have to get with the blush! So good!

Elemis Cleansing Balm

Cleansers

Elemis Cleansing Balm

I’ve been using this cleansing balm for 10 years and it’s still my tried and true favorite. It’s worth every penny but it’s always on sale during Prime Day so now is the perfect time to grab one.

La Roche-Posay Hydrating Gentle Cleanser

An easy hydrating cleanser that feels moisturizing and soothing yet still gives the skin a really deep clean.

Then I Met You Living Cleansing Balm

A gorgeous creamy cleansing balm that will nourish your skin while also removing every last bit of makeup.

Remedy Cleansing Balm

The first thing that jumped out at me about this cleansing balm is how FAST it removed my makeup. Usually cleansing balms easily break down my makeup but it does take a bit of massaging it around to really ensure the product is fully removed. This cleansing balm worked almost immediately cutting through all my makeup and removing my mascara within a few seconds. And the price point is under $20 which makes this cleanser even better!

Remedy Rich Cream-to-Foam Cleanser

A gorgeous creamy foam cleanser that doesn’t dry out my skin!

Toners/Facial Mists/Essences

Biodance Collagen Gel Toner Pads

I use these pads every day after cleansing. They instantly plump and hydrate my skin and you can also leave them on for a few minutes as a mini sheet mask treatment.

TirTir Milk Skin Toner

I like to “skin flood” which is layering multiple toners one after the other to help boost hydration. I pour them into my hands and then pat into the skin. This is my favorite lightweight milky toner and really nourishes my skin and calms it almost instantly.

Biodance Collagen Jelly Serum Mist

One of my favorite skincare discoveries this year! A serum in a mist form that plumps and hydrates immediately.

Cocokind Magnesium Mist

The Calming Magnesium Facial Mist helps to calm stressed skin and add a instant burst of moisture. The formula was designed for those with sensitive, reactive and acne-prone skin to help support the skin barrier while also refreshing the skin.

St. Tropez Tanning Face Mist

I have been using this to add a bit of a glow to my face/chest each day. It’s so easy to use and not streaky!

Eye Masks/Eye Creams

Abib Collagen Eye Masks

These are my holy grail eye masks. They help to hydrate, smooth, refresh while also staying put the entire time you wear them. No slippage!

TirTir Collagen Lifting Eye Cream

The TirTir Collagen Lifting Eye Cream is an eye cream formulated to build collagen, erase fine lines and strengthen the skin. It contains plant-based collagen that helps soften deep wrinkles and fine lines. It’s super gentle yet effective.

Face Masks

BioDance Bio Collagen Masks

I only use face masks a few times a week but this one is a must have at least once. I will apply after all of my skincare is on and leave it on for 4-5 hours. Some people sleep in them but I prefer to wear it during the day. I usually apply it on the weekend and it does wonders at giving my skin a nourishing and plumping treatment.

Clarins Cryo-Flash Instant Lift Effect & Glow Boosting Mask

This mask is a combination of great results and a product that is enjoyable to use. It’s designed to tighten, firm and give the skin a glow which it definitely does. It’s also super cold and has a menthol/cooling sensation to it that I absolutely love. I use this as needed when my skin needs to look its best for a night out or special occasion.

Chin Lifting Masks

These may seem a bit kitschy but I have repurchased them so many times! They are a mask you wear that helps to firm and lift the chin and jaw area. There are loops that go around your ears to keep the mask in place. It does really help temporarily with puffiness especially if you use it in the morning before getting ready.

Serums

Medik8 C-Tetra Luxe

I will alternate between two different vitamin c serums each morning. The Medik8 C-Tetra Luxe is closer to a face oil texture so I will reach for this on the mornings that my skin may feel a bit drier. I’ve have been using this vitamin c serum for more than 2 years and love the formulation of it.

Medik8 Liquid Peptides

This has been a long time favorite peptide serum that both hydrates and plumps! If you want to combine both a hydrating formula with a targeted fine line treatment, this is a great choice.

Naturium Barrier Bounce

I love this serum because it can be used a ton of different ways (as an essence, as a serum, as a lightweight moisturizer) but I prefer to use it as a serum. It instantly plumps my skin and delivers intense long lasting hydration. And the price point is under $25 which absolutely blows my mind. This is 10x better than serums double and triple the price. Highly recommend!!!

Moisturizers

Medik8 Advanced Night Ceramide

This night cream is like a gorgeous fluffy pillow for your skin. LOL It is incredibly rich and nourishing so you only need a small amount but it manages to absorb nicely and leaves my skin feeling soft and satiny.

Then I Met You Bong Bounce Cream

A lightweight gel-cream that delivers nourishment and barrier support. If you need something intensive to help with dry skin or sensitive skin but prefer a lighter texture, this is the cream to try. It won an Allure Best of Beauty award last year which is very well deserved.

Cocokind Electrolyte Water Cream

Gel creams and water creams are not typically my favorite textures to use because they never feel hydrating or moisturizing enough for my dry skin. But the Electrolyte Water Cream is one of the few exceptions – it is like a drink of water for the skin! The formula feels lightweight and comfortable on the skin but the deep hydration it gives is next level.

Sunscreen

EltaMD UV Clear Broad Spectrum SPF 46

This is a long time favorite sunscreen and a regular repurchase for me. I prefer the clear version but there is a tinted version as well. I love wearing it under makeup but it is also the sunscreen that I bring with me to the beach/park etc because it gives such great sun protection. And I also like to recommend this sunscreen for anyone that has acne prone skin, rosacea or hyperpigmentation.

Colorescience Sunforgettable Total Protection Face Shield Flex SPF 50

I’ve heard so many great things about this tinted SPF so I’m not sure why it took me so long to try it – but I am HERE NOW FOR IT!!! I can now understand why this has so much buzz surrounding it because the formulation is 10/10. This is a tinted SPF that goes on white and then transforms into a skin tone shade when you blend it in. The coverage is more than any other SPF with a slight tint in this list so you can wear it as a true makeup or skin tint.

Tatcha The Milky Sunscreen SPF 50

This is one of the most beautiful sunscreen formulas I’ve tried in a long time. It feels like a nourishing hydrating serum rather than a traditional sunscreen. It wears beautifully under makeup and leaves a fresh radiant glow to the skin. A must try for mature skin!!!

Bloomeffects Tulip Dew SPF Stick

This is my preferred SPF stick to keep in my purse when I’m out and about. It is moisturizing and leaves the most natural soft glow on the skin.

Supergoop Play Everyday Lotion SPF 50

This is the preferred sunscreen that I leave in our pool bag for the entire family to use. It feels very lightweight, doesn’t leave any white cast on the skin and really protects my fair skin. Some body sunscreens will do a good job but if I get in and out of the pool, I will eventually get burned even if only a small bit. I never burn with this on!

Supergoop Unseen Sunscreen Stick

Another favorite for the pool bag because it helps to control the appearance of oil and shine on the skin. Goes on clear and doesn’t feel heavy or uncomfortable as you apply more throughout the day.

La Roche Posay Anthelios Melt-in Milk SPF 100

A new addition to the pool bag this summer. This is a sunscreen milk with SPF 100 protection! The entire family loves this and is what I reach for when I can’t be in the shade for whatever reason. I don’t have to reapply this as frequently as my other body sunscreens but this still protects me from ever getting burned.

Naturium Dew Glow SPF 50

There is a reason this is a top seller for Naturium!  While the name is Dew-Glow, I would say this is not overly dewy so it would work well for a variety of skin types. It’s creamy, moisturizing and leaves my skin with a natural finish. The price point is also what makes this a cult classic – $44 for 100mL which is nearly double the amount of every sunscreen in this list.

Versed Good Defense SPF 50

The other two sunscreens in this list have a moisturizer-like texture to them, whereas the Versed Good Defense SPF feels like a lightweight gel-cream. It’s intensely hydrating as soon as you apply it leaving my skin feeling plump and well-balanced. It’s a clear formula that leaves no white cast on the skin. For anyone with dehydrated skin, this SPF is a must try!

Bodycare Favorites on Sale

skincare products

Body Wash

Saltair Skin Serum Body Wash

One of my all time favorite body wash formulations! They are incredibly affordable for how luxe they feel.

Naturium Glow Getter Multi-Oil Hydrating Body Wash

As someone who has been using cleansing oils for her face going on 10+ years, I love using them on my body as well. The entire Naturium skincare line is amazing but the body washes are 10/10! This one comes out as an oil but transforms to a gentle hydrating milk when you add water. It nourishes the skin so well and never leaves it feeling greasy.

Naturium The Calmer Ceramide Body Wash

If scented body washes are not your thing, this Naturium Ceramide body wash is a great option. It’s creamy and intensely nourishing making it perfect for my dry skin.

Cyklar Sensorial Body Wash

There is a reason that this oil-infused body wash has gone viral multiple times. I’ve never felt anything like it before. It’s truly one of the most nourishing body washes I’ve ever used and the scents are to die for!!! A bit of a splurge but they are worth every penny.

Body Creams/Lotions/Oils

Hanni Splash Salve

This has gone viral many times and for good reason. It is a solid balm that you apply after the shower when you skin is still damp. You massage it all over, quickly rinse off the excess and then gently pat dry. When I tell you my skin feels BABY SOFT after using this, I am not exaggerating. It’s considered a deep conditioning treatment for the body, much like you do for your hair. It dries very quickly so you can get dressed right after and there is no greasy feeling left on the skin. And the scent is absolutely AMAZING!

Cyklar Nutrient-Rich Body Cream

I have yet to try anything from Cyklar that I didn’t immediately fall in love with. This body cream is intensely rich and moisturizing but absorbs quickly without leaving a greasy film on the skin. Also the scents last for HOURS!

Cyklar Ceramide Milky Essence

I use milky essences on my face both morning and night so I am so happy to be using one for the body. I prefer to use this in the morning because it is incredibly lightweight. It doesn’t take long to absorb and keeps my skin hydrated all day long. If you are experiencing extra dry skin, layer this under your favorite rich body cream for additional bit of moisture.

Naturium The Glow Getter Multi-Oil Body Butter

If you love the Glow Getter Body Wash, the Body Butter is a must try! It’s a multi-oil body butter that intensely nourishes, hydrates and soothes the skin. It has a light vanilla/coconut scent that isn’t overpowering or lingering once absorbed into the skin. There is a reason that this continues to be a top seller for the brand because it’s one of the best body butters I’ve ever tried.

Salt & Stone Body Cream

I take my body care very seriously and love a rich nourishing body cream especially in the colder months. These are creamy, rich and smooth while absorbing in just a few minutes. The scents are what keep me coming back though. They last for so long and smell divine.

Saltair Hyaluronic Acid Body Serum

I love hyaluronic acid products for my face because they help to intensely hydrate as well as hold onto moisture for longer. Additionally, hyaluronic acid is great for helping to plump, firm and boost skin elasticity. Adding a hyaluronic acid treatment serum into my body care routine has really helped with any dehydration or intense dryness. I typically like to layer this under a body cream or body lotion for that added boost of hydration in my routine.

Saltair Retinol Revive Overnight Body Lotion

As I’ve gotten older, retinol is one of the most important ingredients in my skincare routine. Cellular turnover slows down as we age so it’s important to use a retinol product to help speed up this process. Only using products that hydrate or add moisture into the skin won’t do much for the appearance, texture and tone of the skin on your body. Adding in those products containing targeted anti-aging ingredients will really help to improve the skin’s overall look and feel. I don’t use this body lotion every day but try to add it into my routine 1-2x/week. It’s important to use SPF daily while using a retinol product, so be sure to apply a daily sunscreen to the body or any areas that are exposed to the sun.

Hand/Feet Care

Amlactin exfoliating foot cream

I’ve been buying this for 4 years because nothing makes my feet as smooth as this.

Remedy 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.

Hair Care

Epres Bond Repair

I use it once a week before I shower drenching my dry hair with the solution and leaving it on for 10 minutes. I’ve noticed a HUGE difference in the ends of my hair and overall health of my hair.

nightlight and Hoover Smart Wash Vacuum

Nightlight (updated version)

I bought this for Miles a few years ago and we still use it EVERY SINGLE NIGHT. This exact model is no longer available but they have updated it and made it look a bit better but it still performs the same way. Out of all the toys and things I have purchased Miles over the years, this may be one of the best things and the one we use the most. It’s perfect for kids of all ages – not just for the little kiddos.

Hoover Smart Wash Vacuum

My girlfriend recommended this carpet cleaner to me because I wanted something to deep clean my carpets at home. This is AMAZING and removed nearly every stain even if it was yearssss old. A must have for every home!

Carepod Humidifier

The BEST humidifier I’ve ever used. So easy to clean which is my main issue with all humidifiers – they are a nightmare to clean! This one is a breeze so no mold accumulates!

Hatch Baby

Even though Miles is now 8, I have this for him because he loves using it as his alarm clock! Also it plays some of the best ambient sounds at night.

Black Leggings

I’ve been wearing these leggings for years and they are still one of my favorites!

Makeup sponges

I’ve been buying these for a few years now and they have replaced all my other makeup sponges.

Shower steamer tablets

Both myself and Miles love these. You place one on the floor of the shower and they dissolve and release the most amazing spa-like scent as you wash.

Clip-on light for phone/computer

This is absolute magic and is like your own personal lighting crew. If you do zoom meetings or film content, this light is a must have.

Air fryer

We upgraded our air fryer to this one because it has two baskets so we can cook separate things at the same time. It’s a life saver.

Jergens Wet Skin Self Tanner

I already repurchased this self tanner. So easy to apply on damp skin and it doesn’t smell like self tanner.

Weighted Vest

I wear this every time I go on a walk. I bought it after seeing a menopause doctor I follow on social media recommend it for helping with bone density in perimenopausal and menopausal women.

Flameless Lighter

A rechargeable lighter for my candles. Every time I gift someone a candle, I gift this with it.

Eye Massager

I bought this for Stan to help with sinus pressure and headaches. It is heated and massages the eye area and temples. It’s absolutely a game changer for headaches and sinus pain!

Foot Massager

Amazing for sore feet!

Powder Puffs

These are the puffs I use to apply my pressed powder and they are fantastic! So velvety smooth and the perfect shape.

Terrycloth wristbands

This keeps the water from running down your arms when you are washing your face.

L’Oreal True Match Nude Hyaluronic Tinted Serum

As I have gotten older, I definitely find that lightweight foundations and skin tints look better on my face. I have tried this Tinted Serum Foundation before but had the wrong shade so this time I got the correct shade and fell in love with it even more. It’s designed to be lightweight skin tint with skincare benefits – most specifically hyaluronic acid which helps hydrate the skin. It’s not thin and runny like a serum and has a thicker texture much like a foundation. But product names aside, the texture is still lightweight and super easy to blend. It truly feels like I am not wearing anything on my skin – so weightless!

L’Oreal Le Shadow Stick

I will forever be a one and done eyeshadow gal and these shadow sticks are absolute perfection! They are smoooth, creamy, long lasting and come in a ton of everyday wearable shades. I also recommend these to any one that struggles with crepey lids because they show very little texture and have a subtle blurring effect.

Missha M Perfect BB Cream

This BB cream gives medium coverage yet still manages to feel like I’m wearing nothing on the skin. Additionally, it is one of my longest wearing foundations! I will put it on in the morning and it doesn’t budge until I take it off at night. It gives my skin the creamiest and smoothest finish out of this entire group and it provides sun protection too. The only downside to this is the limited shade range. I use both shade 21 and 23 and find they can both work separately or even mixed together. However, the formula and the way it makes my skin looks does override this for me but I did want to mention that.

Tarte Tubing Mascara

My favorite holy grail mascara that I’ve been buying for years!

Elemis Cleansing Balm

I’ve been using this cleansing balm for 10 years and it’s still my tried and true favorite. It’s worth every penny but it’s always on sale during Prime Day so now is the perfect time to grab one.

Biodance Collagen Gel Toner Pads

I was obsessed with the Mediheal Collagen Ampoule Pads as a daily toner to give a boost of hydration to my skin after cleansing. I was about to repurchase them but saw these and decided to order them to compare. I’ve been using these every single day after cleansing and am IN LOVE with them! Even more than the Mediheal pads. They are a very different texture than what I am used to but absolutely love the jelly-like feel to them. They instantly plump and hydrate my skin and you can also leave them on for a few minutes as a mini sheet mask treatment. These will absolutely be a repurchase!

TirTir Milk Skin Toner

I like to “skin flood” which is layering multiple toners one after the other to help boost hydration. I pour them into my hands and then pat into the skin. This is my favorite lightweight milky toner and really nourishes my skin and calms it almost instantly.

Medik8 Total Moisture Daily Face Cream

I still like to end each evening skincare routine with a rich moisturizer but this isn’t as thick as the ones I use in the winter. This moisturizer is a tad bit lighter in texture but still gives my skin a deep hydration. In addition to hydrating the skin, it helps to strengthen and support the skin barrier.

Clarins Cryo-Flash Instant Lift Effect & Glow Boosting Mask

This mask is a combination of great results and a product that is enjoyable to use. It’s designed to tighten, firm and give the skin a glow which it definitely does. It’s also super cold and has a menthol/cooling sensation to it that I absolutely love. I use this as needed when my skin needs to look its best for a night out or special occasion.

TirTir Ceramic Milk Ampoule

The TirTir Ceramic Milk Ampoule is a 3-in-1 milky serum designed to provide skin barrier support, deep hydration and nourishment for the skin. I love a creamy milky serum in my skincare routine so I had high hopes for this. After the first time trying it, I fell in love with the way it made my skin feel and look. Since my skin has progressively been getting drier and slightly more dull looking, I seek out products that help to moisturize my skin but also leave it looking glassy and dewy.

La Roche-Posay Hydrating Gentle Cleanser

This cleanser could fall both in the dry skin and sensitive skin category because of how gentle and nourishing it is. It’s a cream texture that feels moisturizing and soothing yet still gives the skin a really deep clean. Some of the key ingredients are the La Roche-Posay thermal spring water which is rich in antioxidant properties. Additionally there is ceramide-3 which is a natural component of the skin barrier and glycerin which moisturizes and hydrates the skin. As someone who really focuses on protecting and strengthening my skin barrier, this cleanser is a must have!

Colorescience Sunforgettable Total Protection Face Shield Flex SPF 50

This is a tinted SPF that goes on white and then transforms into a skin tone shade when you blend it in. The coverage is more than any other SPF with a slight tint in this list so you can wear it as a true makeup or skin tint. The finish is VERY dewy and glowy which I personally love because my skin is more dull and dry these days but it may not be a good option for those with oily skin. It wears beautifully throughout the day and also works well underneath makeup as a great base or primer.

Abib Collagen Eye Masks

I may have mentioned these eye patches before but I felt the need to include them in my Prime Day post because I love them that much. These are under eye patches that DO NOT move. I have tried dozens of eye patches and almost all of them slip and slide around my face. These feel hydrating, soothing and stay in place until you remove them.
