I hope this guide is helpful while shopping for the holiday sale!
Skincare
Belif The True Cream Aqua Bomb – This moisturizer is so lightweight and hydrating. I’ve tried a few different kinds and this is still my favorite.
Murad City Skin Overnight Detox Moisturizer – Splurging on this item because I’ve heard so many good things.
SK-II Facial Treatment Essence (Pitera Essence) – This has made such a difference in my skin. I started using it years ago and love how it hydrates my skin immediately and evens my skin tone.
The Ordinary Hyaluronic Acid 2% + B5 Hydrating Serum – I started using hyaluronic acid recently and it’s been amazing for my dry skin. I’m switching up my products and trying this one out.
The Ordinary 100% Organic Cold-Pressed Rose Hip Seed Oil – Using a facial oil as the last step of your nighttime routine seals in all benefits of the products you use right before. I’m excited to try this based on the reviews and price.
The Ordinary Glycolic Acid 7% Exfoliating Toning Solution – Adding this new product to my nighttime routine. I discovered it through TikTok and learned that it helps with lightening dark spots and reducing odor on your underarms.
The Ordinary Buffet Anti-Aging Serum – Seen a lot of recommendations on this and can’t wait to try it for myself.
Caudalie Grape Water Moisturizing Face Mist – I was buying this specifically to dampen my skin before applying hyaluronic acid, but it also sounds very refreshing to use throughout the day too.
Body
St. Tropez St. Tropez x Ashley Graham Ultimate Glow Mousse Kit – This is a great way to add some warmth to your skin. It’s easy to apply and gives a subtle and natural-looking tan.
Hair
Oribe Dry Texturizing Spray – I use this texturizing spray on my roots to give it volume. Lifting your hair from the roots also helps your hair from getting greasy fast.
Bumble and bumble Bb. Heat Shield Thermal Protection Mist – I use this on my ends before I curl my hair to protect it from the heat. It has a really nice coconut scent.
Olaplex No. 0 Intensive Bond Building Hair Treatment – My stylist recommended this treatment and it does an amazing job of repairing and strengthening my hair. I apply damp hair and let it sit for 10 minutes before applying Olaplex No. 3 Hair Perfector.
Olaplex No. 3 Hair Perfector – This is used with Olaplex No. 0 Intensive Bond Building Hair Treatment and leaves my hair feeling so soft. I use this treatment every 2 or 3 weeks. I apply it in the morning and wash it out at night.
Olaplex No. 6 Bond Smoother Reparative Styling Creme – I mix this and Olaplex No. 7 Bonding Oil together for an incredible shine and softness to my ends.
Olaplex No. 8 Bond Intense Moisture Mask – I only wash my hair twice a week so instead of conditioner, I like to use a hair mask instead. I’m interested in trying this one since I love all of the other Olaplex products.
Makeup
FENTY BEAUTY by Rihanna Invisimatte Blotting Paper – I always have blotting papers with me to control the shine on my face. I like that you can control how much paper you use. I’ll be purchasing the refill.
Charlotte Tilbury Airbrush Flawless Setting Spray – My new favorite setting spray. I like it more than Urban Decay All Nighter Long-Lasting Makeup Setting Spray. I feel like it does a slightly better job.
COOLA Makeup Setting Spray Organic Sunscreen SPF 30 – Love the SPF on this and will always use it when I know I’ll be outside.
Jouer Cosmetics Powder Highlighter – A very pretty highlighter that is super pigmented with a subtle shimmer. I have it in the shade Skinny Dip which is a shimmering golden peach.
Charlotte Tilbury Airbrush Flawless Finish Setting Powder – Switched out my Laura Mercier Translucent Loose Setting Powder for this and I like it a lot better. It gives my makeup a very nice smooth finish. I have it in the shade Medium.
Hoola Bronzer – I have been using this bronzer for years and love it. I use the shade Caramel.
FENTY BEAUTY by Rihanna Match Stix Matte Contour Skinstick – I really love the easy application and how it glides on smoothly and blends easily. I have it in shade Mocha and it’s the perfect color for contouring.
Anastasia Beverly Hills Brow Powder Duo – I use this to lightly fill in my eyebrows. It gives a very soft and natural-looking brow. I use the shade Dark Brown.
