Beauty Bits

I’ve been sharing my monthly favorites nearly every month for the past 10+ years but only on video (IG, Tiktok, YouTube). 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 September 2026.

Everything I Loved in September 2026

Summer Fridays Gentle Reset Pads

This peel pads are incredibly gentle yet incredibly effective. The key exfoliants in these pads are a proprietary mix of glycolic, lactic and mandelic acid. To balance this out, the pads also contain various skin soothing complexes to prevent irritation. Additionally, I love that these are packaged individually so you can easily travel with them.

The Noli Shop Colette Blouse

One of my favorite go-to outfits in fall is a printed blouse and jeans. This blouse has the most gorgeous floral print all in autumnal tones. Every time I wear it, I get tons of compliments because the fit is so perfect!

Sophie Blake Tyla Love Knot Necklace (discount code: MAREE15)

I have worn this pendant necklace nearly every day since it arrived. I love that you can adjust the pendant length based on your preference. I have been layering with other necklaces for an easy everyday necklace stack.

Boden Erica Cotton Frill Top

Fall and winter is my favorite time to shop Boden. Between the rich textures and vibrant prints, they have so many gorgeous options. I ordered this blouse to add to my fall blouse collection. LOL Even though it has fall tones, the material is super lightweight and perfect to wear from the end of summer into late fall.

Farm Rio Golden Nature Full Zipper Knit Cardigan

Another brand known for their prints is Farm Rio. Most people gravitate towards their spring/summer collections because their prints are tropical and perfect for the warm weather. I prefer their fall/winter prints a bit more. This zip up cardigan sweater is incredibly cozy and the print is absolutely gorgeous!

OGEE Sculpted Cream Blush Stick in Rose Quartz

This is a matte finish cream blush that leaves the skin looking blurred without being too flat. It’s a slightly drier formula so it doesn’t move around but still blends effortlessly with hardly any effort. The shade gives a subtle flushed look to the cheeks that looks natural and fresh.

NOYZ Loose Ends Fragrance

There has yet to be a NOYZ fragrance that I haven’t immediately fallen in love with. This is their newest launch which couldn’t have come at a better time because it will be perfect for cozy season. With notes of black sugar, smoked vanilla, cognac accord, amber, tonka bean and cashmere musk, this fragrance is a warm rich amber scent.

Baublebar Jamie Semi-Precious Beaded Necklace

Baublebar makes some of my favorite statement necklaces. This brown pendant necklace has been a great piece to wear with all my new fall blouses!

Baublebar Stassie Semi-Precious Ring Set

Most of my rings are silver or gold so I love adding a bit of color into the mix. These tones work perfectly for the fall and you can wear them stacked together or individually on separate fingers.

Vee Collective Essence City Tote in Mink Trench

I own a few Vee Collective totes because they are incredibly durable yet still hold a TON. This is a smaller size than the other totes I have but works perfectly for carrying day to day. There are so many compartments that it makes finding what you need so easy! Also, this color is a great neutral and unlike anything I have in my closet.

I prioritize using products that help to repair and strengthen my skin barrier. Even if my barrier isn’t damaged, using product to help support it keeps my skin so much healthier and more balanced. I’ve been testing the Biossance Squalane + Omega Repair Cream which is a rich, barrier-focused moisturizer and wanted to give my full review on it. I had a great experience with using it and wanted to share my thoughts so you could decide if it would be a great addition to your own skincare routine. As a top seller for the brand, the Squalane + Omega Repair Cream is suitable for eczema-prone and sensitive skin and delivers intensive nourishment to the skin while also targeting signs of aging. Now that we are moving into the colder months of the year, I wanted to provide a review on this cream as a great option for anyone looking to invest in a new fall/winter moisturizer.

Biossance Squalane Omega Repair Cream Review

In this review I am going to share more about the formula for the Squalane Omega Repair Cream and who I think it would be best suited for. I’ll also give details about how you can incorporate it into your own skincare routine.

What Is Biossance Squalane + Omega Repair Cream

The Biossance Squalane + Omega Repair cream is a skin barrier supporting moisturizer formulated with biomimetic ceramides and lipids. Additionally, it is certified by the National Eczema Association as being safe for eczema-prone and sensitive skin. It helps to deeply nourish and protect the skin barrier while also targeting fine lines and wrinkles.

Biossance Squalane + Omega Repair Cream Ingredients

• Hyaluronic acid – this helps to visibly plump and support hydration on the skin’s surface.
• Omega fatty acids – a grouping of fatty acid moisturizing molecules which help to hydrate, plump and restore.
• Ceramides – helps to maintain and prevent moisture loss.
• Acai berry sterols – these are plant sterols that mimic and replenish the cholesterol naturally found in our skin.
• Squalane – supports and replenishes the skin’s moisture barrier

Here is a full ingredient list for reference: Water/Aqua/Eau, Caprylic/Capric Triglyceride, Squalane, Glycerin, Butyrospermum Parkii (Shea) Butter, Sorbitan Olivate, Cetearyl Olivate, Cetearyl Alcohol, Cetyl Palmitate, Jojoba Esters, Euterpe Oleracea Sterols, Phenoxyethanol, Sorbitan Palmitate, Ceramide Np, Carbomer, Tocopherol, Ethylhexylglycerin, Sodium Hydroxide, Sodium Gluconate, Sodium Hyaluronate, Linoleic Acid, Oleic Acid, Linolenic Acid.

What Does Biossance Squalane Omega Repair Cream Smell Like

There is little to no scent in the Biossance Squalane Omega Repair Cream. Some moisturizers have masking scents to disguise the scent of the raw materials in the product, but this has nothing. I definitely feel this is what sets it apart from other similar moisturizers that help to protect the skin barrier. The cream has a whipped texture that is rich but not overly heavy. It’s instantly comforting to the skin but absorbs after just a few seconds leaving no greasy residue.

What Does Biossance Squalane And Omega Repair Cream Do

Supports the skin barrier

Formulated with biomimetic ceramides and lipids, this cream helps to protect and support the skin barrier.

Provides deep hydration

By helping to improve the skin barrier, it’s ability to retain moisture, prevent water loss and stay hydrated is also improved. If you struggle with dehydration or very dry skin, this is a great option.

Firms the skin

When the skin is balanced and properly hydrated, it will appear more visibly plump and firm. Fine lines and wrinkles will be less noticeable. Be sure to apply it to both your face and neck during your skincare routine.

Biossance Omega Repair Cream Before And After

If you have dry or mature skin, this cream is amazing at immediately giving your skin instant hydration while also leaving it looking plump and glowy. I’ve been testing it for a few weeks, using it in my evening skincare routine as the last step. I already use a lot of anti-aging products that target fine lines and wrinkles so I did not notice a reduction in that, which I didn’t think I would. However, now that the cold weather has come, I am struggling with dry patches here and there which this helped to resolve within just a few days.

Pros Of Biossance Repair Cream

Great for sensitive skin

Even if you don’t have sensitive skin, it is beneficial to use a product that can be used by the most delicate skin types. Though there is always a chance of irritation, it significantly decreases with a formula like this.

Comfortable texture

Many rich creams may perform well but feel too uncomfortable on the skin. The whipped texture of the cream allows it to feel weightless while still helping to deeply nourish the skin.

Cons Of Biossance Repair Cream

Not suitable for all skin types

If you have oily or combination skin, this may not be the best moisturizer for you. Even if you struggle with dehydration or sensitive skin. Instead there is a probiotic gel moisturizer that would probably be a better fit.

Price point

While this isn’t deemed a “luxury” product, the price point is quite high. It’s $60 for 1.7 fl oz. That is definitely steep considering there are so many similar formulas that are priced lower.

Is Biossance – Squalane + Omega Repair Cream Worth It

I have not used many Biossance products but I can see why this cream is a best seller. It leaves my skin feeling incredibly calm, soothed and nourished. The price point is a bit high compared to other creams I have which provide similar benefits. The main difference is that this cream is certified as safe for very sensitive skin which is a huge point of distinction. The ingredients they use are not vastly different from other brands but the lack of scent does move this ahead of other products. I definitely think it is worth trying if you either love the brand or are looking for something to help treat dry, dehydrated skin.
