"Favorite brow product from Sephora is the Rare Beauty Brow Harmony Brow Pencil. Really love the shape and the tininess of this brow pencil. It's really, really small. It's really creamy and easy to use. It's easy to fill in your brows, draw in those tiny little brow hairs, and really just beef up your brows if you're a little bit brow challenged, as we tend to be as we get older."

"My new favorite brow pencil this year is the Rare Beauty Brow Harmony Precision Pencil in the shade Rich Taupe. It's so tiny but it's almost tear-shaped, so it's really easy to just make those little hairlike strokes. I like to define the upper edge of my brow first and make it a little straighter than it actually is, almost to a point. My brows are like a little toenail moon shape, so they're just very much curve, and I like them to have a little bit more definition and a little bit more shape, so I just kind of draw on the shape that I want and blend that all out."

"This is a really nice eyebrow pencil. The taupe shade was a little dark for me, but it has a little bit of a reddish cast to it when I first put it on. This is such a super fine tipped eyebrow pencil that you can do hair-like strokes and then you can color it in. It's soft and creamy so it doesn't take a really hard stroke to get it on. Some of the pencils, the product is so hard that it's really hard to get it on. And of course it has a spoolie on the other end for blending it out. I really really really like this."

"This L'Oreal Extensionist mascara was my next favorite makeup find. I tried this one without very high hopes because I have not been happy with any drugstore mascaras for a long, long time. They always chip, flake, smudge. And guess what? This one actually delivers. The marketing on this is that it makes your lashes 5 mm closer to your eyebrows, and I put it on one eye and then compared, and my eyelashes sure were closer to my eyebrows because it made them look much, much longer. I really like this and it stays put all day and it's not hard to take off at night."

"L'Oreal Extensionist Mascara is a beautiful mascara and it wears so well. It's so easy to apply and I love it. It really gives me a lot of extra length."

"I've been talking about this, raving about this since the very first time I tried it. It is one of my favorite palettes of all time because it's got 10 pans of color, but the four in the center are cream eyeshadows. And so, I love to use them either as an eye shadow base, a primer. They help to make my crinkly, like discolored eyelids look smooth and beautiful, but they also help the powder shadows to stay in place and to blend out so beautifully. I get the smoothest blend with this palette."

"I'm really kind of digging this palette. I just think this is so good. I love that it gives you cream eyeshadows. It gives you powder eyeshadows. It gives you mattes and shimmers. It's very versatile and I think it'd be great for travel especially. You know, it's great that you can use these creams as eyeshadows, as an eyehadow base. You can also use them to contour your face and you can also use them as eyeliner."

"It only takes one coat to give me long, silky lashes that last all day. This is a beautiful mascara that makes your lashes look long and silky and actually gives them a little bit of curl. With this mascara, it does take a couple of coats to build up volume, to build up length. This one wore pretty flawlessly all day long."

"The mascara is beautiful, it went on really great with no clumps and made my lashes look really good. It does take two coats to build up some lash, but it just makes you look like you have a lot of lashes, gives you volume, gives you length, and it wore really really well for most of the day. My only problem with it is one eye got a little dribble under here and there are some flakes under that eye, but there are no flakes under the other eye. So it's interesting how one eye versus the other performed differently."

"I loved it at first because it went on and made my lashes really big and really bold, but there was just like little chunkers all over them that I knew were going to come off later in the day. And sure enough, they did and they were like on my eyelids and under my eyes and it also smudged beneath my eyes."

"The mascara very disappointing. It's got these gray smears and very flaky. I much prefer a tubing mascara. This is not longwearing."

"The big winner for the day is the Natasha Denona I Need a Nude Palette. This is beautiful, it's nice and cool palette but it does have some warms in it. It's got a lot of variety in there. The colors are gorgeous, they blend really well, they wear really well. The colors are all very wearable. There's nothing in here that makes it such a dark palette that you wouldn't use it. The only real criticism of the palette is that for me I don't need that many shimmers with glitter in them, but even though I ended up wearing one of the glitter ones, I don't think it looks bad. I do have a little bit of glitter fall out, but it's not everywhere. In general, these are really great quality. You cannot go wrong with this palette. If you were thinking of getting it, definitely get it. It is a beauty and definitely my favorite thing that I put on today."

"I cannot do a job without this palette it is so stunning. It's so soft. It's not too warm but there are warms in it. Even like the shades, it's not like a super orangey peach, it has enough gray to it that it really just sits so naturally on the skin and it just looks like a color that would normally be there. The shimmers are beautiful about this palette. You can't go wrong with any of the shimmers in my opinion."

"The Holy Grail eyeshadow palette for this year is the Natasha Denona I Need a Nude Palette, hands down favorite palette of not just this year, of like the last 5 years. I got to say with the exception of my Stone Cold Fox palette, this is I think the most beautiful palette, just right up my alley. The colors in here are just so subtle and so beautiful."

"Natasha Denona came out with a new palette this year that is just such perfection. I love it. It is the I Need a Nude Palette, and if you're into nude eyeshadows, oh my gosh, this is the most beautiful palette because it's not just a cool palette or just a warm palette. It's a combination, but even the warm tones in here they're not super orange or super red. This shade right here, this rusty color, is the most magical color because even though it looks kind of a bricky color in the pan, it comes off more of a muted clay rust color rather than a super bright orange color. And even this peachy tone, they're very wearable. If you love a nice neutral palette, and they go with the cool shades in here because the cools aren't completely gray. The cools have a little bit of warmth to them, the warms have a little bit of cool to them, and so they just blend perfectly and make you these gorgeous eyeshadow looks. The shimmers in here are so beautiful. It's an expensive palette at $69, so getting it at 20% off is definitely the way to go."

"I love the Mario eyeshadows, but today I decided to use my Mario Ethereal Eyes Moonlight Palette, and I was really disappointed with this. The main thing was that the shimmers in this palette, they have so much glitter and so much fallout, and they don't give you any payoff on the eyelid. It didn't stay in place. You couldn't even see it. I had glitter all over my cheeks. I like the mattes in this. I don't like the shimmers. The only shimmer in this palette that is kind of like problematic is this white one, and I wish this one wasn't such a big pan because this is really a glitter fallout shimmer. So stay away from this one."

"This one is the Makeup by Mario Ethereal Eyes Moonlight Palette. I don't really want to talk too much about these except to say that it is a gorgeous palette. I've used it in videos and I love it, but it's the kind of palette that I'm not really going to reach for every single day because of how the shimmers are in it. The Mario is more true neutral to gray and blue, but it has shimmers in it that are very chunky and very glittery. If you're not into chunky glittery shimmers then you really will have no use for at least three or four pans from this palette. It's a stunner, it's gorgeous. This is the glittery color that I have on my eyelids today and it's beautiful and I love it, but it really is for me I'll wear it like Christmas Eve and to make a video but not so much in real life. So if you're looking for something special for the holidays or for a gift I would recommend it, but for everyday use it's not what I'd pick."

"If I ignore the shimmers I can do a beautiful everyday matte look with it. There's three silver shimmers in here, and I'm not sure that anyone needs three silver shimmers in one palette. There are three pans that I'm not going to use like on an everyday basis. I think they're both beautiful, it's just going to depend on what kind of colors you wear."

"This palette is just stunning, it is gorgeous and it's just such a special palette for the holidays. The colors in here are definitely not the average things that you see in the average palette, but this one really spoke to me because it's on the cool side, it has some blues, it has some really pretty shimmers. The shades are so gorgeous, I used the lightest one on my movable lid at the inner corner, then this kind of dusty mauvey color in the crease, then I went with this gray to deepen up and smoke out the crease, and then I put on some of this really dark navy blue, so pretty, and then I top that with this gorgeous peacock shimmer. Oh my goodness, is that not just stunning?"

"I'm using the new Makeup by Mario Master Mattes Neutrals palette. You're going to love it. This is such a great essential palette. It's not overly warm, it's not warm at all. It's a nice neutral leaning cool. I mean, you can see it's like a beautiful palette filled with neutrals. These are all great tones."

"As a matte palette this is perfection. These are the best blending eyeshadows I think I have ever used. You get such a beautiful blend with these. Just using this palette I feel like my eyeshadow skills are so much better, and they're really the same but it's this eyeshadow that makes me look like a pro makeup artist with my blending. The shades are gorgeous. There are enough pale midtone mats to do your crease, there's enough darker tones to smoke it out. It just gives you such a variety of warms and cools. There's even a true gray and a true black. It's really a special palette, and if you don't have this already I would highly recommend picking this up."

"The first Mario palette I bought was the Master Mattes Neutrals, and I am a complete convert to the Mario eyeshadows. They are some of the best eyeshadows I've ever used as far as the blendability. You cannot make a mistake with these eyeshadows; they blend out so beautifully. This is like my everyday go-to palette, the one I reach for, and it has just such a nice variety of colors but it doesn't go too dark too fast. That's my age-old problem with palettes, they just get too dark too fast. This one has so many shades that are really wearable, so your eyeshadow won't come out looking too heavy-handed, too overdone, too theatrical. The everyday palette would definitely be worth the money because you will reach for this every day and it will up your eyeshadow game exponentially in the blend and everything. This is the one I would recommend for the vast majority of people."

"The Anastasia Brow Gel, I can still feel it, it's still in place and it's still holding my brows in place."

"The Anastasia Clear Brow Gel is just a clear brow glue that really does work to glue your brows into place, but it doesn't make them feel super sticky or really crunchy and it is perfectly clear so you're not going to see it. The nice thing about it is because it does coat your brows it does make them look a little bit darker, and most people can use that."

"To keep them in place I use the Anastasia Clear Brow Gel. This is another favorite that I've discovered this year. This is really awesome. A lot of brow gels you put them in you can see them in your brow, they make it feel sticky, they make it feel heavy. This is the most lightweight product but it really holds your brows in place perfectly all night."

"I love this brow gel, it's perfectly clear. I have some other brow gels that say they're clear but they're really not. This one actually does dry clear but it really does stick my brows in place. I highly recommend this if you're looking for a clear brow gel."

"First Essence mascara that I've ever really liked that has lasted throughout the day. The lashes are pretty and silky and long but there's no flaking and no chipping so no smudging either."

"I use the Essence Lash Without Limits Mascara"

"My favorite is their 10% lactic acid serum. I used that for the last 12 years until I came out with my own skincare that combines a lot of these things in two little bottles."

"I use The Ordinary 10% lactic acid serum and these are very lightweight and so they layer really well on top of each other."

"The Ordinary's lactic acid serum is my favorite and it only sells for what $8 normally, and it's 23% off."

"I used up a bottle of my Ordinary 10% Lactic Acid serum. I love this serum, it's been a holy grail for me for years now and I apply this in the morning after my vitamin C serum. It just helps to exfoliate my skin, but the other thing I love about lactic acid is that it helps your skin to produce more ceramides and ceramides are those fatty lipids that make your skin look plump. So this is a great one, really love that. Have repurchased."

"I have used Timeless for years and years and years. I'd say about 12 years I've been using Timeless. I love their vitamin C serum."

"This is a 20% L ascorbic acid based vitamin C serum. It's very watery liquid. Vitamin C is an antioxidant, it's one of the most potent antioxidants that we can use in skin care, and L ascorbic acid versions of it are the most effective in your skin. They are proven to help to brighten your skin, to fight free radicals that are produced by exposure to sun and pollution. Those are things that destroy our DNAs. It's doing wonders below the surface that you may not even be aware of, protecting your collagen, and that's the name of the game in anti-aging."

"I would bring a mini size of my Timeless 20% Vitamin C + E + Ferulic Acid Serum. This is my go-to Holy Grail vitamin C serum so they make this little half ouncer which is great for travel."

"This is at a much higher price point at $89 for 9 ounces, so does it top my Timeless vitamin C as my favorite that's staying in my skincare routine? It doesn't. But if you were looking for the vitamin C serum to be stable in your cabinet for a lot longer, this is a really great product."

"I love their CoQ10 serum."

"The next serum I always apply in the morning is my Timeless CoQ10 serum. This is another antioxidant, and this one helps to give your skin more energy. Energized skin can make more collagen, more elastin, more ceramides, more hyaluronic acid, more of everything that our skin produces less and less of as we get older, so that's a really great one to have in there. This one also contains Matrixyl 3000, so it's not just a one-trick pony, this one has two active ingredients in it."

"The Timeless Coenzyme Q10 Serum is a yellow serum that's really nice and lightweight. CoQ10 is an antioxidant, but it works differently from vitamin C. CoQ10 actually gives your skin cells energy, and your skin cells need energy because they're really busy producing collagen and elastin. Just like everything else, as we age our skin cells get tired and they need more energy to do their work."

"I put on my Timeless Coenzyme Q10 serum. I love this serum, this is a hydrating serum. CoQ10 is an antioxidant, so again helps to fight those free radicals in your skin, but it also works to give your skin cells energy. So if your skin cells are more energized, they can make more collagen, they can make more elastin, they can do more repair work that they need to do. This serum also has Matrixyl 3000 in it, which is a peptide, and I love peptides in my skincare, but Matrixyl 3000 is supposed to help with collagen production and so it's supposed to help reduce your wrinkles as well."

"The Timeless Coenzyme Q10 Serum has CoQ10 which is an antioxidant but it also contains Matrixyl 3000."

"The coenzyme Q10 serum comes in either a 4 oz size or a 1 oz size. This contains CoQ10 which is another antioxidant so good for your skin, but it also contains Matrixyl 3000. I love their formulas because they have a very small ingredient deck, there's not a lot of fluff in here, there's not a lot of extra ingredients, you know like botanicals that are going to bother your skin. They're formulated properly which is very very important."

"This is my Timeless CoQ10 serum. It's coenzyme Q10 and what I love about this serum is that it contains two, really three anti-aging ingredients. Coenzyme Q10 which is an antioxidant but it works differently from vitamin C. CoQ10 gives your skin energy so it helps to feed the mitochondria in your skin to have them produce more ATP so that your skin can do more. If your skin is more energized it can make more collagen, make more elastin, make more ceramides, make more hyaluronic acid, all the things that help to keep our skin looking great as we get older. This also contains Matrixyl 3000 which is the original peptide that has the most research behind it. This also contains hyaluronic acid, which is a humectant, a water binding molecule so it traps water onto the surface of the skin."

"The third step in my morning routine is always my CoQ10 serum. This is from Timeless as well. So this one has coenzyme Q10. It also has Matrixyl 3000. CoQ10 is an antioxidant that helps fight free radicals and it also energizes your skin. It feeds your mitochondria and helps with ATP production so that your skin can do more. It can make more collagen, elastin, everything that your skin needs to make it look and be its healthiest and best. And the Matrixyl 3000 is a great ingredient. It was one of the more proven peptides that are out there."

"I love this serum because it has two powerhouse active ingredients in it. It's got CoQ10 but it also sneakily has matrixyl 3000 in there, and matrixyl 3000 is a peptide. CoQ10 is also an antioxidant but it works differently from vitamin C. It's not a precursor for producing collagen. What it does is it gives your skin cells energy. If your skin has more energy then it can do more, it can repair itself more, it can make more new collagen, it can make more elastin, it can make more hyaluronic acid. But in addition this contains matrixyl 3000 and the matrixyl peptides are really good for your skin. They help to build collagen as well. So collagen being the name of the game, this has two ingredients in it that can help your collagen production. The Timeless products are just so well priced. A bottle of any Timeless product is about 26.95. They're a great price point because they're going to last you for a few months. I have repurchased and am using this every single day."

"I love their Matrixyl Synthe 6 serum."

"I apply my Timeless Matrixyl Synth 6 Serum, this is a peptide serum. The matrixyls help with varying signs of aging so they'll help with wrinkles, they'll help with discoloration, so help with all kinds of things. They're very hydrating."

"The Timeless Matrixyl Synthe 6 Serum is a nice clear runny liquid. I just put on about a half a dropper of this, rub it along, and rub it all over my face and all over my neck. Matrixyl Synthe 6 is another peptide that hits six different signs of aging and it helps your skin to produce more collagen and helps to reduce your wrinkles."

"The second thing that I put on after that at night is my Timeless Matrixyl Synthe 6 Serum. This is another Matrixyl but this one helps with six different signs of aging. This one is supposed to help with synthesis of collagens types 1, 3, 4, fibronectin, laminin, and hyaluronic acid. So this is another great peptide that has been shown to work in the skin. Very lightweight, fluid serum that's easy to apply."

"I'm using this KrX Six Peptide Skin Booster and this contains six different peptides, it's got a copper peptide, it's got Argireline, it's got Matrixyl. It's a really nice serum but the consistency of it is more like a toner, so I just put it on like a toner to rewet my skin. I put it all over my face, my eyelids, my neck, my chest, and the backs of my hands. Some of these ingredients can be irritating to the skin, so you should really ease in with them slowly. You shouldn't start slapping them on in large quantities every day. The research shows that skin will generally acclimate as long as you introduce things slowly enough so that it has time to adjust."

"I actually kind of like this product. What I like about this product is that it does contain six peptides in a really big bottle of product for a very reasonable price point. The regular price on this is like $25 for 5 oz. There's a copper peptide in here, there's argireline, which is like the Botox in a jar peptide. It's also got one in here called KKPE, which is based on snake venom, also kind of a Botox in a jar kind of thing. It's got matrixyl. So this is loaded up with peptides. It's very watery, this is like a toner kind of consistency, and it's really nice to use. I would use this in like my first steps in an evening skincare routine, would be a great place to use this almost as a toner after you wash your face, either morning or evening. I would imagine you could use it either time. I don't think there's anything in here that is going to interact with any other products. It's fragrance-free."

"This contains a couple of peptides and it also has a copper peptide in it. This is more spendy than most of the other things at about $70. This is a really lightweight serum. I really love how it feels going on the skin. I love the finish on it and it's just a great serum that is just packed with really great anti-aging ingredients."

"This is a great serum that is so packed with so many great ingredients. This contains niacinamide, hyaluronic acid, a copper peptide, ceramides. It's normally $69 for an ounce, it's now $48.30 with your 30% off."

"This is a really great multitasking serum that I usually use in the summer when it's hot and humid and I don't feel like putting on a lot of heavy layers of moisturizer, and this has everything that is usually in two or three of my moisturizers all combined into one bottle, which is awesome. It's got ceramides, niacinamide, a couple of peptides in it, and a copper peptide. I do put this on in my morning routine near my vitamin C and I don't think there's any problem with it. This is not the kind of copper peptide that would interact with your vitamin C because this is not the blue kind of copper peptide. This one is perfectly clear, so no worries with this and your vitamin C serum."

"The copper lysinate prolinate is the copper peptide that is used in the Dermatology Needleless Growth Factor Serum. It's a clear serum. Even though Dermatology says that their Needleless Serum can be used with anything anywhere in your skincare routine, if you look at their product frequently asked questions there is one about vitamin C and Needleless Serum and they say that the one vitamin C serum that should be used at a separate time than Needleless Serum is ascorbic acid, which is found in their vitamin C E and F. I used it and it didn't seem to interact with anything in my skincare routine, though I kept pushing it around and used it sometimes in the morning sometimes in the evening."

"This was just not great for me. I don't enjoy using it. It did give me a little bit of the tingles on my neck and I didn't love that about it. I don't think it looked worse, I just don't think it looked any better after using, you know, two-thirds of a bottle and using it for six months. I'm not saying it's a bad product, I'm not saying that it can't be showing results for you. You may have used it and have great results. On me, I just thought it was just okay."

"Research on using copper peptides topically is very sparse, very sparse. If you want to try it, fine, I wouldn't spend a ton of money on it. I would go with something like M love, which is a really good formulation because it's got four peptides in there, so even if the copper peptide isn't necessarily doing something, maybe one of the other peptides will be. I purchased The Ordinary Multi-Peptide + Copper Peptides for a video. I have both, and I think what I've decided to do is use them one on each hand and I'll use up the entire bottle of each and we'll see if my hands look any different."

"The prequel one turned brown really really fast so I was a little disappointed in that. Ascorbic acid based vitamin C serums have to be formulated right, they have to be in the right packaging in order for the vitamin C not to oxidize, but when it oxidizes it turns brown, and once your serum is brown it's really no good and you shouldn't use it."

"The Prequel Lucent-C Brightening Vitamin C Serum is derived mainly from mushrooms and on studies on skin cells in the lab it looks like it can do some of the same things that vitamin E can do such as regenerate vitamin C. This formula also contains niacinamide so you're definitely going to get a brightening of your skin with this. The Prequel vitamin C is much more of a watery liquid, will run through your fingers but you just squeeze them together tight. It does absorb really really quickly and this doesn't really leave any kind of a tack or stickiness on the surface of your skin so it rubs right in."

"This vitamin C serum does have 15% L-ascorbic acid at a pH of 3.2, so it's formulated pretty similar to the standard vitamin C serums that I love with the low pH. It also does contain ferulic acid which is one of the helper antioxidants. The look and feel and consistency of this vitamin C serum is really beautiful, it comes out crystal clear and all you need is a few drops to treat your whole face. The feel of it is slightly thicker than, say, the Timeless vitamin C serum. It's not going to run all over the place. This one does have a little bit longer of a rub-in and it does have a slightly grippy finish at the end, which I don't mind because once I've rubbed in my neck it kind of goes away. I like the finish on it, it's not overly shiny and overly dewy. What makes this product more stable than your standard vitamin C serum is really the packaging. It seems like there's something that is blocking air from getting into the tube, which is why they include this little part here called the beam, which is almost like a toothpaste tube squeezer to help you get the serum out. Poems from the Lab makes this in small batches, so you're getting a fresh product that will last for the full 8 months."

"The Poems from the Lab Future Focus Vitamin C Serum is supposed to stay shelf stable for eight months. It's more of like an $80 price point, but if it does last the full eight months then it's only like $10 a month, so that's pretty good. I got this in February so now I've had it for like six months and this is still nice and clear."

"This is supposed to stay fresh and stable in the bottle for up to 8 months. After a year, it's almost clear, which is some pretty amazing stability. It's at a much higher price point at $89 for 9 ml, so it doesn't top my Timeless vitamin C as my favorite that's staying in my skincare routine. But if you were looking for a vitamin C serum to be stable in your cabinet for a lot longer, this is a really great product."

"The vitamin C that I put on my neck is also from Timeless, it's their 10% vitamin C serum so this is going to be just a little bit gentler than the 20 version."

"They put it in a glass airless pump bottle. A lot of people in years past had been having trouble with the old plastic packaging the pump leaking, this one doesn't leak at all. They used to only sell this in a 1 oz size, they started this year selling it in a 1.7 oz size. The other thing that they came out with this year is the same vitamin C serum but in a 10% strength because a lot of people can't use the 20%, it's just a little bit too strong. This is all the same great helper ingredients and the same formula as the 20%."

"This is a tinted mineral, but this one is substantially less expensive than this one. If you're looking for something that's like a one and one, you don't have to put makeup on over it because the tint is perfect, but it feels nice and dry and set. If you want to put makeup on over it, you can, and it will look great all day."

"This is a tinted mineral sunscreen and this one doesn't contain butyloctyl salicylate, which is a chemical sunscreen booster that can sometimes irritate your skin if you have super sensitive skin. As you can see, this one has a much more radiant finish to it. This one is definitely going to be more hydrating on the skin, and if you have super dry skin, this is the one that I would recommend. If you have more oily skin or enlarged pores, then I would definitely recommend the matte version."

"This one is from Dermatology, this is their Physical Tinted Moisturizer SPF 44. It's very hydrating as well. They're both pretty shiny, pretty dewy looking and accentuating my enlarged pores and whatnot, so I do have to definitely powder these over."

"It's a hybrid chemical mineral sunscreen so it has zinc oxide but it also has octanoate. It's also tinted but it does have a little bit more of a matte finish. Sometimes I really like that matte finish if I don't have time to put powder on over my sunscreen. It's more of a matte finish and I do find it a little bit drying by the end of the day so I'm not really using this one now that it's winter. I'll probably start using again in summer when my skin is a little bit more hydrated."

"It is a sunscreen that I liked the color of. I had reviewed this so many years ago that it wasn't really on my radar, but I did feel like on my skin it didn't dry, it didn't set up, it was just too greasy. But that was a few years ago, and I got to say, you know, the older I get the drier my skin gets, and especially this time of year I really appreciate a really hydrating sunscreen. So I dug this one out and I started using it again, and you know, I really really like this one now. It could just be the difference in my skin from then to now. I can put it on and it doesn't look super greasy. I do still have to powder it, it does have like a shiny finish to it, but I like it a lot more now than I did back then."

"This is a tinted mineral sunscreen and it has almost the exact same ingredients as the Healthy Skin Labs. But it's much less expensive. This is about $25 an ounce price point versus $15 an ounce, so definitely like $10 less an ounce. Blends in easily, wears great under makeup, nice and hydrating, doesn't feel heavy or greasy. It's just a great sunscreen. In addition to this one being cheaper, I have a 20% off discount code with Dermatology that's always usable."

"My two favorite sunscreens of all time after testing 250 different sunscreens are the Healthy Skin Labs Protect SPF 50 and the Dermatology Physical Tinted Moisturizer SPF 44. They are tinted. These are truly all mineral sunscreens. They're thicker and a little bit heavier feeling going on than say the Kopari or the Chromat and they do have a shinier finish. So, they do need something over them. I either have to set them with powder, I have to put foundation on over them. But when I want my foundation to look its best and when I'm really looking for a sunscreen to wear with foundation, these are the two that I go to. So, I highly recommend those two as well."

"The concealer I'm wearing today is also a sunscreen. This one is from Dermatology. It's their Luminous Eye Corrector SPF 41. And this is a dedicated sunscreen just for your eyes. It's got this nice cooling tip. So, you press this, a little bit of sunscreen comes up, you apply it. And of course, under the eyes is a great place to use an all mineral sunscreen because the chemical sunscreens really do irritate your skin a lot more than mineral sunscreens. So, if you never put sunscreen up close to your eyes because it makes them water and it stings and burns, definitely try a mineral sunscreen. It's tinted, so it gives you some coverage under there."

"I've been using it as my concealer on my no makeup makeup days and I love this. It's the Dermatology Luminous Eye Corrector SPF 41, this is an all mineral sunscreen and I love it just as under eye concealer. It has this metal tip that's cool and you just press this, get a little sunscreen up there, pat it under your eyes and oh it feels so good when I use this. I don't use any concealer with it so it hydrates and it doesn't settle in my wrinkles. It is perfection under the eyes. If you're like a no makeup person you don't really want to wear any concealer, try wearing sunscreen under your eyes because the under eyes is one of the first places that people start noticing their age showing. The best way to prevent that is to wear sunscreen directly under your eyes, but a lot of the chemical sunscreens will burn your eye skin and that's where mineral sunscreen comes in and that's why this product is so great because you can sunscreen all around your eyes and it color corrects, it moisturizes and it protects your skin. So it is a really, really great product."

"I just love this so much. Since I got this I literally have not used concealer for my everyday makeup in months. I put on my regular sunscreen every morning and I do put it up under my eyes but I want that extra protection under my eyes because that's really where the sun damage starts showing first, and so I think this is just great. Plus it gives me that little bit of color correction that I need because I don't have super dark circles under my eyes, I just have a little bit of color correction that I need, and this is perfect. It's lightweight, it's moisturizing, and it just looks so beautiful under there that I have pretty much stopped wearing concealer except for my most special occasions, but for an everyday this is what I use as my concealer now and I absolutely love it."

"The Dermatology Luminous Eye Corrector SPF 41 comes in four shades. It looked great on top of my sunscreen, but when I added my concealer on top of it, it did start to look a little bit heavy, so instead of putting my concealer on top, I've just been wearing this as my concealer and I love it. I haven't worn concealer like at all this week. I just put this on under my eyes and it's giving me that extra sunscreen protection where we really need it, because who doesn't see the signs of aging first under their eyes. It doubles as your under eye concealer. This is 12% zinc oxide and 10% titanium dioxide. It does have a fairly luminous finish, so I just put my regular setting powder over it. It's not settling into my wrinkles, it's not accentuating anything, and it looks really smooth and really nice. I just love it as my under eye concealer."

"It's a tinted minerals eye sunscreen. It's very similar to the Color Science one but I think it costs less. This is $44 for a quarter of an ounce, the Color Science is $79 for a quarter of an ounce. They both come in different shades. It's definitely luminous for like half the price, higher SPF, really good product. I am definitely going to have to get the darker color in it though."

"If you are looking for just a chemical sunscreen you don't have to deal with all the characteristics of mineral sunscreens like that they're heavy greasy shiny leave a white cast then this is a great one to try it doesn't leave a white cast it goes on perfectly clear and it works great under makeup."

"The Haru Haru Wonder Black Rice Moisture Airy Fit Daily Sunscreen is a Korean chemical sunscreen with an SPF 50 and PA+++ rating. I instantly fell in love with this one. It's not a mineral sunscreen, but the Asian chemical sunscreens have different sunscreen ingredients than what's allowed in the US, and using this kind of sunscreen I get no irritation at all. It isn't greasy, it's very lightweight. When they call it Airy Fit, that's how it feels, it feels very airy, doesn't feel heavy on your skin, doesn't make you hot. It is just so incredibly beautiful."

"I go for this completely chemical sunscreen from Haru Haru Wonder, this is their Black Rice Moisture Airy Fit Daily Sunscreen SPF 50. It's a PA+++ in which means that they have tested the UVB separately from the UVA. This is a standard white chemical sunscreen but it uses sunscreening ingredients that aren't available here in the US, they're available in most of the rest of the world, and for me they're much much less irritating on my skin than US chemical sunscreens. I love this, it's very lightweight, doesn't feel greasy. If you have never met a sunscreen that you liked because it felt greasy and disgusting and you just couldn't wear it, give this one a try. You will probably love it. It's not shiny, it's not white casty, it's just the most beautiful sunscreen."

"It's a chemical sunscreen from Korea that is so fantastic. I have sensitive skin and I have never been able to use a chemical sunscreen ever until this sunscreen. I've been using it every day since July. I started a one-week test with it because usually within five days sunscreen is really going to irritate my skin, but oh my gosh I love it so much."

"Their matte Universal tinted moisturizer is an SPF 46 hybrid chemical mineral sunscreen. When I rub it in it goes matte and I don't really have to powder it, I can just put it on and go. The tint is a perfect match for my skin tone and I really just love this sunscreen. If you have more oily skin or enlarged pores, I would definitely recommend the matte version."

"The matte finish is nice if I don't have time to put powder on over my sunscreen. With the other two that I showed, they are definitely glowy, and so for me with my enlarged pores I always have to add some kind of setting powder over the top. This one has a more matte finish, but I do find it a little bit drying by the end of the day. So I'm not really using this one now that it's winter. I'll probably start using it again in summer when my skin is a little bit more hydrated."

"This is an SPF 30 and this one I would compare to the SRA V sunscreen but the advantage to this one over say the SRA ve is that this one comes in four shades. It stayed pretty shiny on my skin, it stayed pretty oily feeling on my skin, pretty wet and damp, didn't really dry back 100% on me. But I think this is formulated more like the SRA with drier skin people in mind. This is going to be very hydrating if you have dry skin, it's going to sink right in and it's going to be perfect on you. Even though this is an SPF 30, I feel like it's giving such good sun protection and especially such good UVA protection because this one has 21.6% zinc oxide and then it's also got 3.2% titanium dioxide. This is 80 minutes water resistant. It's really easy to reapply. It didn't make the makeup settle into my wrinkles and it didn't make it slide around. It did shorten the wear of makeup on me by a couple of hours."

"It's a tinted sunscreen that comes in four different shades. It does have a greasy feel on the skin and it doesn't really dry and set back, it has a really super shiny finish, which normally those two things combined would be the kiss of death for me with sunscreen. But I gotta say I love this one because of how makeup went on over it. It really was great under makeup. The shine did come through and I did look shinier and shinier throughout the day, but under normal circumstances where I can reduce the shine during the day, this is really great under makeup. It didn't settle in my wrinkles, it didn't wear off super fast, and it was a great one. It is an SPF 30, though, and you know I prefer an SPF 50."

"I really wanted to do it because I wanted my lower teeth to be straighter and I also had a crossbite over here that my dentist wanted to fix. So I was psyched about the results. I just wasn't psyched about the actual process. But you guys had told me that the year would go by fast and I would be really happy. And the year did go by pretty fast and I am really happy with the results. My bottom teeth were getting increasingly crowded as the years went by, and they got to the point where my two center teeth were literally angled in and pressing against each other so hard and all the other teeth were very crowded. Everything kept pushing forward and so Invisalign seems like a good way to go. I talked to my dentist about it. She was like, 'No, you're a good candidate for it because you're not looking at doing anything super major and so it should take about a year.'"

"I am really psyched about the after. They're so nice and straight across in here. I got to say, some people did mention them to me over the course of the years, but that's really not why I had them done. It was more that they bothered me and so I just wanted to get it done for me, not for anybody else. I'm not going to say it was an easy journey or it was enjoyable to do. But before you get Invisalign, they have this like tiny little mini camera that they put in your mouth and they just kind of roll it all over your teeth and it makes like a 3D map of your teeth and your mouth. Then they take that, they send it into Invisalign, they say what they want to correct and then they send back another 3D image of your teeth."

"Argireline is supposed to be like Botox in a bottle. People ask me about argireline all the time and if it works, and my general feeling about it is that no, it's not going to be Botox in a bottle. But I've heard from a lot of you guys who say that you use it and you think it does help, and especially people who use Botox say that it helps it to last longer. So I've been trying this lately. I haven't been using it all over my face, I just kind of use it as a spot treatment around my crow's feet, under my eyes, and on my forehead. Can't say I'm seeing any huge difference because of course I do have some Botox in my face right now."

"I'm using it on my leavens and around my crow's feet. The instructions on this are to use it twice a day. I've only been using it once a day so I think I'm going to bump it up to twice a day. I'm going to use it morning and evening with my serums. I am going to continue with this and we'll see if it does help my Botox last a little bit longer and maybe soften some of my wrinkles like my crow's feet and my leavens."

"The next serum I use is my May Love Hydrator. This contains vitamin B5 panthenol and also Resveratrol. It's a very lightweight serum, it's very nice. I use five or six drops of this for my face, my neck, backs of hands, and my chest."

"May Love Hydrator is a really lightweight liquidy serum. If you're not quite ready for a heavy-duty moisturizer, this is a really great thing to add now. You can add it in your morning or your evening skincare routine. I use it at night just because I like it to help keep my skin more hydrated overnight while I'm sleeping. This is a really amazing serum because it's got three active ingredients in it: it's got vitamin B5, it's got Resveratrol which is an antioxidant, and it's also got panthenol. Vitamin B5 is a humectant so it binds water to your skin and so it's going to definitely keep your skin hydrated by keeping more water on the surface, but the antioxidants and the panthenol in here will help to moisturize your skin and help to keep it healthier."

"The elf Halo Glow Liquid Filter, that is a dupe for the Charlotte Tilbury Hollywood Flawless Filter. This really is like a perfect dupe for this. I wear shade two in the elf, I wear shade four in the Charlotte Tilbury, but they both are so so so very beautiful."

"The e.l.f. Halo Glow Liquid Filter is a really great product. This is awesome, this is a dupe for a much much more expensive highlighter and I love this highlighter. I wear it anytime that I want my cheeks to really pop. It doesn't have any glitter in it. It gives your skin like a glow from within and it's so pretty. If you just put a little bit like on the fronts of your cheeks and up here on your cheekbones it just makes your skin come alive. It just makes your cheeks look really plump and juicy. I wear this in shade two."

"If you are mainly just concerned with wrinkles and sagging around your eyes, I'd recommend the NIRA Precision Laser. It definitely reduced my eye wrinkles when I tested it. The lasers work by heating your skin just below the level of heat shock. That is where collagen production is increased. And so they help to increase collagen production in your skin."

"The precision laser is really helpful for around the eye area. It really gave me great results, especially in the wrinkles under my eyes. It's made my wrinkles so much less deep, so much less visible that I love this guy. The way the neural lasers work is they heat the skin but they heat it just below the level of heat shock and that is where collagen production happens which helps to plump out and smooth out those wrinkles on the surface. You'll feel this treatment more because it is a heat treatment. When the laser fires, you do feel it on your skin."

"One of the biggest differences between the two models is that the Precision model actually kind of hurts when you're using it at the higher levels. I started off on level one that was fine, went up to level two that was fine, went up to level three that was fine, level four ouch it hurt but I could do it, level five far too painful for me to ever really even use it. I only ever got up to the 2.66 joules per cm squared for most of my time using the Precision laser. I love the results, I loved how quick and easy it was to use, but the one thing that I didn't 100% love about it is that it did hurt a little."

"This one does take the neural lasering to a whole new level of comfort and speed and the areas that you can treat, and there's no reduction in the power or the amount of energy that you're getting out of this one. You're just treating a bigger area in less time. It produces types one and type three collagen in your skin, so it doesn't destroy any skin and it's not looking for color in your skin so it's safe to use for people with darker skin tones. I was so psyched about the results that I got with the sister laser about 9 months ago, and now I'm using this one and I'm seeing great results around my eyes."

"This one I used it for 150 days it gave me great results around my eyes on my crow's feet with the wrinkles under my eyes"

"I could not believe what it did for the wrinkles around my eyes it even reduce my wrinkles that you can't get at with anything even with botox"

"If you are older and you have larger areas that you want to treat I tested the Pro Laser all over my face and also on my neck and I had great results"

"The Precision model I feel is most effective for the wrinkles around the eyes it is such a tiny little opening"

"The Pro Laser is really the one that I love using the most because I get in the most coverage. Like I can do my whole neck in 10 minutes with this and it really gave me good results on my neck. I can do my whole face with it in 10 minutes and it really has given me good results on my face. The way the neural lasers work is they heat the skin but they heat it just below the level of heat shock and that is where collagen production happens which helps to plump out and smooth out those wrinkles on the surface. You'll feel this treatment more because it is a heat treatment. When the laser fires, you do feel it on your skin. You feel like a hot sensation, but it's only for a second. Then you move on to the next area and then it's over. And they each have five different temperature settings. So, if the highest setting is too hot for you, you can turn it down."

"I feel like this is making my pores my skin look so much smoother and it's really super easy to use it's really fast to use I actually I kind of prefer it to the little Nera"

"Looking at my jawline and my jowls, I can't say that it completely got rid of them and made me look like I have the neck of a 20-year-old, but I am seeing an improvement here. I feel like my jowls are a little bit less saggy. I feel like that little flap directly underneath my chin is not hanging down quite so far. I am really really psyched about the results that I've been able to achieve using the NIRA Pro on my neck and on my jowels and along my jawline."

"With the Pro Laser I can use this on level five and have been using it on level five from day one it doesn't hurt at all. I love the results I loved how quick and easy it was to use but this one which is for me completely pain-free is like wow an amazing difference. I had a call with the president of the company and he explained to me that because the pulse on this one is three to four times longer than the pulse on the Precision laser it kind of ramps up the amount of energy that it's delivering and so your skin actually takes that longer interval to acclimate to the heat. You're delivering more energy but just over a longer time so it doesn't feel as hot. It's really much more of a pleasure to use. With the Pro model there is no button to press, whereas with the Precision laser every pulse that you wanted to deliver you had to press a button."

"I'm really really happy with how much faster this is to use all over my whole face and all over my whole neck, that it doesn't hurt, it doesn't get super hot, and because it's more comfortable to use I am more likely to stick with it. You can use it down the center line of your neck because this only affects the skin on the surface and it doesn't go deeper than the skin, so you can use it over your thyroid. You can use this if you have a darker skin tone because this doesn't look for pigment in your skin; it's targeting water in your skin. Usually with lasers, people with a darker skin tone can't use a laser or have to be very careful with them, and with this one there isn't that precaution because it doesn't look for pigmentation in the skin. There's no contraindication to not use it with tretinoin, so this is safe to use with your tretinoin and your stronger anti-aging actives. It really makes it easy to work it into your skincare routine because you don't have to worry about interactions with your skincare and you don't have to worry about interactions with your other devices. It's really quick and painless to use."

"I felt like they were slightly better anyway but given that it's delivering more energy per pulse I think it probably would do the same as this"

"The Makeup by Mario Surreal Skin Natural Finish Foundation is a lovely foundation and it looks beautiful on the skin. It's supposed to be blurring and longwearing. It definitely did seem blurring to me. I really like that about it. I'd say it's a light to medium coverage, so it does look fairly natural on the skin."

"On the cheeks, it is a blurring and smoothing foundation. I'm not feeling like my pores and texture are really accentuated, and that looks good. And on the forehead, I think it's really nice and smooth, and it looks great. So, overall, really happy with the foundation."

"The best foundation of 2024 in my humble opinion is the e.l.f. Soft Glam Foundation. I fell super hard for this. I absolutely love it. You cannot beat the price point. This is such a beautiful foundation. I'm wearing it today. I've actually had it on for 7 hours and this looks still just about perfect and I didn't touch it up to start filming this video. The thing is it looks so natural on the skin. It doesn't look like a heavy mask of makeup. It's just beautiful. The shades are really great, easy to find a shade match. I wear it in the shade 25 light neutral."

"I was really really happy with it. There was no wearing off anywhere and there was very very minimal settling into the wrinkles. By the end of the day I was still really happy with this one, really high on it. It just became an instant favorite of mine. I just felt like my skin looked better than it really is, I felt like it looked younger than it really was, and I was just really falling for this hard. This is probably my most worn drugstore foundation so far this year."

"The E.L.F Soft Glam Foundation is so good and I love it so much. I've been wearing it literally nonstop since I tested it. It won head-to-head against another viral foundation of the summer. I wore it to a black-tie wedding in Boston and I felt so confident. My skin just looks great but it doesn't look like a heavy coating of makeup. It's got such a lovely finish, it's not super super luminous, it's just soft. It softens my pores, it softens my texture, it just softens everything. I feel like my skin just looks younger when I have this on."

"This is a fabulous drugstore foundation. It lasts all day with that sunscreen. It doesn't wear off. It doesn't settle into wrinkles. It looks natural on my skin."

"For special events, if I'm going to something fancy and I want the bulletproof foundation that's going to look fantastic all night, that's going to photograph really well, then I reach for my Dior Forever Matte Foundation. This is the top holy grail foundation. It doesn't settle in wrinkles. It minimizes the look of my pores. It lasts 10 hours without any primer, without any setting spray. It is just like a one and one beautiful, beautiful foundation. Of course, it is typical high-end foundation. It contains a lot of fragrance. It contains a bit of SD alcohol, so it's not the kind of thing that you're going to want to put on every single day."

"This is my Holy Grail Foundation. It's called a matte foundation but I don't really find it to be drying and I don't find it to be super matte so if you have drier skin I wouldn't be afraid of this one. It doesn't settle in your wrinkles, it gives you great coverage but it still looks skin-like and natural and it lasts all day. One of the best things about this foundation is that you don't need a primer, you don't need a setting spray because it just lasts and lasts."

"This Foundation doesn't need a primer to last all day and it minimizes the look of my pores. It is my Holy Grail, absolute perfect foundation for me. I tested this on one of the hottest days of the summer when I was sweating and this didn't budge. I don't find this one drying at all. I have slightly oily skin around my T-Zone but normal skin the rest of my face, and I'm always a little bit dry around my mouth and my temples, and this doesn't dry out my skin in those areas. It's so lightweight yet so pigmented that it looks really natural on the skin and it doesn't take a lot of it to cover up your redness. The finish on it is so perfect because it makes my pores look smaller and it makes my wrinkles look smaller and it never settles in my wrinkles throughout the day. It wears for 10 hours straight, so if I'm going somewhere and I'm not going to be able to touch up my makeup, this is what I reach for."

"The Dior Forever Matte is my number one top Holy Grail Foundation of all time, the best of the best. This is so good on mature skin, the heavens opened and the angels sang. If you're a drier skin person and you're afraid of a matte finish, don't be afraid of this because it's not really fully matte on me. What it does for your skin is just so good. If you have normal, combo, or oily skin and you have enlarged pores or a lot of texture, this minimizes those things all on its own. It doesn't really need a primer in order to perfect your skin, and it lasts all day. I tested this on one of the hottest days of the summer and it stayed put, so if you're dealing with hot flashes or you live in a hot climate, this is going to be the foundation for you."

"I'm wearing the Dior Forever Matte and the Elf Soft Glam foundations both and I'm really liking this new setting powder I got from Sephora."

"The foundation I'm going to use today is my Dior Forever Matte. This is like my perfect bulletproof foundation, and when I tested this Foundation a couple of summers ago it was super hot out and this lasted like 10 hours, didn't wear off. It was a hot, hot, hot sweaty day and it was amazing, and I didn't do anything special with it."

"The foundation I reach for when I have a special occasion I really want my makeup to be longwearing bulletproof going to make me look perfect and flawless all day or all night long is the Dior Forever Matte Foundation. This is so fantastic especially in the summertime if you live somewhere where it's warmer and you have combo or oily skin this will stay put it won't budge all day and you will be perfected. It doesn't let any oil breakthrough it's really really fantastic it doesn't get super shiny during the day and it's actually smoothing on my pores without using anything else. It's a beautiful foundation, longwearing, doesn't settle in your wrinkles, great shade range. This is my number one top of the heap holy grail foundation that I wear when I want to just look absolutely perfect."

"I tested this I think it was last year over the summer and it instantly became a Holy Grail foundation. This is like 100 percent my favorite summer, like heat wave foundation. If you're going to wear a foundation, let's say you have a wedding to go to or you have a party to go to, this is the foundation that is going to keep your skin looking perfected the entire time. I wore it on one of the hottest days of the summer last year, I sat outside, I was sweating in it, it didn't budge, it didn't get shiny, it didn't accentuate my pores. It really makes my pores disappear. I feel like my face looks so velvety perfection when I have this on. It is amazing on mature skin, doesn't settle any wrinkles, looks great. You don't even have to apply a lot of it to get really good coverage."

"I always use the Laneige Lip Sleeping Mask. I do so love that lip sleeping mask. It is about $25 for a pot."

"I really love the Laneige Lip Sleeping Mask. I put that on my lips every night before bed, and when I wake up in the morning, my lips are so hydrated and so moisturized."

"One of my favorites that I always recommend is the Laneige Lip Sleeping Mask, and it's going to be 30% off. I love it. It's what I put on my lips every single night before I go to bed, and my lips stay nice and hydrated and they feel great in the morning. If you have dry lips, especially in the winter or overnight, it's a great product to get."

"I put on my Laneige Lip Sleeping Mask, butter up my lips with that for the night and it keeps my lips nice and hydrated overnight."

"You guys know how much I love this, have been a big fan of this for years. I finally emptied out this one and have a new one going. These last me a good 6 to 9 months and they're amazing. Put it on at night on my lips, keeps them hydrated and moisturized, and it's the one thing that when I wake up in the morning I can still feel it on there, which is what I like. I don't like my lips to be like dry as the desert in the morning when I wake up, and this keeps them from being that way."

"My favorite for a long time has been the Saie Slip Tint. I love this one. It's an SPF 35. It is beautiful on the skin. It doesn't look like makeup. It looks really natural. It's what I'm wearing today because it is my favorite. I love this because it looks like my skin but better. It dries and sets. It's just gorgeous. The shade I wear it in is 3 plus half. This, I'd say, is currently my go-to foundation for everyday makeup, right? The thing I'm going to just reach for every day just to even out my skin tone and help me look a little bit better than I am while still looking really, really natural."

"The Saie Slip Tint is a tinted moisturizer that I love. I brought both a foundation and this, and I found that I wore this ninety percent of the time and really didn't need a full coverage foundation."

"When I first looked at it and it looked really heavy and waxy, I was like, 'No, this is terrible.' But it has really settled in nicely and the coverage is great. It is looking fairly smoothing on the pores and the texture. It feels so lightweight on the skin. It isn't coming off under my fingernails all day, which I love. It's not transferring all over the place. It feels dry. It feels set. I feel like it looks like my skin, but it's giving me that nice radiant lit from within glow."

"My skin feels hydrated, but it doesn't feel like sticky, greasy, hydrated. It just feels comfortable, which is really, really nice. Usually hydrating things don't dry and set and they leave my skin feeling a little tacky and coming off on my fingers and on everything else all day. I think I like it better than the original version. I definitely like it better than the It Do It All, which at 5 hours didn't look this good. It was definitely starting to wear off on my nose at 5 hours and on my chin at 5 hours. Really no settling into wrinkles to speak of at all on the forehead. Very not worn off anywhere. It looks really nice, really natural on the skin. Zero wearing off on my nose. At the 10-hour check-in, from a distance, I still think it looks beautiful. I don't really think it looks very worn off at all. I am seeing a tiny bit of wear around each nostril and not so much really anywhere else. It really hasn't been doing anything like sliding around, especially on my forehead."

"Shockingly, this is actually an improvement over the previous formula. I like this one better than the other one. I think it wears better than the previous one. Generally, it's not as good when companies discontinue and reformulate something, and so I was really pleasantly surprised to see that I like this one better and that I even like it better than the Do It All. For me, of the three, this is the winner."

"It's their barrier therapy skin protectant cream. This is an awesome face and body lotion. It's a really nice cream that does contain ceramides. It's also got urea. Comes in a 10 oz tube and it's a great price point."

"This is their barrier therapy skin protectant cream, this is a really great body lotion to have in your arsenal because this contains serum eyes, it's got five ceramides plus the cholesterol that it needs to actually deliver the ceramides into your skin. This is a very soothing lotion that's going to help to repair your skin barrier. It's got colloidal oatmeal in it, it also has shea butter and glycerin. Of the three, this is going to be the more lightweight of the three lotions, easier to spread."

"The Prequel Barrier Therapy Skin Protectant Cream is calming and soothing for the skin, it's good for eczema skin or itchy skin, but what I love about this is that it has ceramides in it and it's so hard to find a body product that has ceramides. This contains five ceramides, so this has gotten into my rotation of body lotions that I use every time I get out of the shower. It comes in a nice big 10 oz tube and the Prequel pricing is very reasonable."

"There's nothing else that is proven like tretinoin to work in your skin to produce more collagen to reduce wrinkles to brighten your skin by thinning the outer dead layer of skin while thickening the deeper layers of skin. Everyone's asking for skin tightening and skin firming and the main ingredient that's proven beyond a shadow of a doubt to do that safely is tretinoin. I can definitely say that the differences I'm seeing in my skin now with the combined ingredients are significant."

"Tretinoin, it is the gold standard, it's the heavy hitter. It's the thing that has 40 years of study into it saying that it really does work. Start with that, but it is prescription."

"All the research agrees that it's the one thing that helps your skin to produce more collagen. It helps your skin to look plumper and firmer. It reduces wrinkles, it reduces discolorations, and it does it all in one little bottle. You just put on a pea-size amount of this every night once you work up to it and you can watch the years melt away on your skin over time. It is really the gold standard of anti-aging. You talk to any dermatologist and they'll tell you Tretinoin is the way to go, and the longer you're on it the better off you'll be. I've been on it for 11 years now and I wish I had started earlier. The people who I see who have the best skin now are people who got on Tretinoin and have used it for years and they don't go for Botox, they don't go for fillers, they don't go for laser treatments. It really is a testament to what it can do for your skin."

"The bronzer that I use most this year, which means that I loved it the most this year, is from RMS Beauty. It's their ReDimension Hydra Bronzer in the shade Tan Lines. It's just so beautiful. It's not too dark. It's not too cool. It's not too warm. This shade is just perfect for me. And it blends beautifully. I have this bronzer on this half of my face and I just put it on with a brush. It just gives your face a little more dimension. If you're looking for a really great bronzer that's really easy to blend, give the RMS bronzer a try."

"One of my favorites is the RMS Beauty ReDimension Hydra Bronzer. I use that every day. This is a really great bronzer. Easy to work with, so pretty on the skin."

"The one I'm wearing today is the L'Oreal Lumi Blush, and it is just gorgeous. I love how it blends. I'm wearing that in the shade dewy bright pink. They're very, very pigmented, so you have to be careful when applying these. You have to always apply to the back of your hand first and just pick up a little bit from there and then apply it to your skin. You don't want to ever go in right with the doe foot, but they look gorgeous on the skin."

"This is more akin to the Rare Beauty liquid blush than most of the other drugstore liquid blushes I've tried. Most of them are not very pigmented. A very pretty blush, but use it very sparingly."

"That blush has probably the longest lasting staying power. For nine hours, this actually looks pretty good."

"I got this new blush in from Rare Beauty and I feel like it's hard to blend, but once I get it on, oh my gosh, it is so beautiful."

"The Rare Beauty Soft Pinch blushes are fantastic. This was the first one that came out that was really super highly pigmented and these are so big they will last you forever. My favorite is Hope. I love this one, it's beautiful. It also gives you that lit from within glow with a little bit of a shimmer, but a little goes a long way with this."

"The Omnilux mask is bright. It has 132 bulbs total, 66 of each color. The wavelengths are 633 for the red light, 830 for the near infrared. It retails for $395 and I have a 10% off code. It's the one that I tested years ago that gave me such great results on my skin. I felt like I was seeing the results in two weeks. I was like, 'Oh my gosh, I think my pores are looking smaller. I think my wrinkles are looking smaller. I think my skin's looking firmer.' And everyone else noticed it, too. People in my regular life were saying, 'Hey, what are you doing? Your skin looks so good.' If you want to get in more of a $350 range for a mask, then the Omnilux is still a great mask to go with."

"If you're concerned about melasma, if you're concerned about too much light or if the lights are too bright for you, then I would definitely recommend the Omnilux Contour Face. This is an awesome mask. They make the professional arrays that they use in dermatologist offices. They did most of the research into red light therapy, so their bulbs are very accurate. There aren't as many bulbs in their mask as there are in the others. It's about half as many with about 66 of each bulb, but it's still a really good quality mask. I saw great results with this. This is the one that I've mainly used for the last 5 years."

"This has been my favorite mask for about 5 years now. This is really the one that started my love of red light therapy. It's the one that I used and did a before and after video on and saw the changes in my skin and how fast they came in. I was just blown away by this technology. Omnilux is the company that makes the professional red light arrays that are used in dermatology offices. So, they really pioneered the use of red light therapy and especially at home masks for red light therapy. It is a great mask. You will see changes in your skin with this mask."

"Red light therapy has been shown to increase collagen production as well as collagen density in your skin and you need kind of both of those things. The whole anti-aging game is about collagen and increasing collagen production, so that's what this mask does and that's why I love it. I saw results with this really quickly and since it is so passive and easy to use, that's why I stuck with it. If you're interested in trying red light LED therapy, I highly recommend Omnilux."

"This is my Omnilux mask, this is probably my number one device just because it's so easy and so passive to use. My Omnilux mask is red light and near infrared LED therapy and you can see all the little light bulbs here. This has two head straps so it gives you a nice close fit. I use this in the morning before I even get out of bed so I keep it on my bedside table, I put it on my face, my neck, my hand, I do my 10-minute treatment, I go back to sleep, I wake up, I take it off, end of treatment for the day, and I use this every other day."

"I've been using this for a couple of years I swear by it and I don't think I'll ever not use this. The reason I love this so much is because what it does for my skin, it just makes my skin glow and be so much more even toned and firmer and it also reduced some of my wrinkles. The best thing about it was not only that I noticed the changes right away but other people started noticing right away and asking me like what I was doing. This uses both red and near infrared light to anti-age your skin and this is really like the gold standard of the masks. They make the big light arrays that they use at dermatologist's offices so you're getting clinically proven red light with this. I did a couple videos a couple years ago where I compared all the different masks as far as did they have the right wavelength did they have the right intensity and after seeing how few masks stacked up it just convinced me that this was the way to go with a red light mask. This is also the most comfortable one because these are soft, they're flexible, they don't hurt to use, and because of the way the straps are on this one you get more of a customizable fit."

"This is the Omnilux mask, this is my favorite red light therapy device. This mask is flexible, so in addition to using it on your face you can also use it on say the backs of your hands, you can just lay it on your arm, you could wrap it around your leg. There are lots of different ways to use your red light therapy mask. Red light therapy increases collagen production in the skin and it's also been shown to increase collagen density in the skin. I haven't used this anywhere on my body except my face, my neck, and my chest, and I think that's why I mainly don't have a lot of crepey skin in these areas as well because I do use my red light therapy mask there."

"Omnilux is one of my favorite anti-aging devices. It's one that I've used consistently and uninterrupted for the last three or four years, and I had such great results with it that I was an instant convert to red light therapy."

"The Omnilux Contour Face is a red and near infrared LED mask you wear on your face for 10 minutes a session, 3 to 4 times a week. I just keep it next to my bed in a little basket, I wake up in the morning, slap it on my face, do my 10-minute treatment, put it away, and get up and go about my day. That just makes it so doable. This is definitely one of the most effective things that I've ever done for my skin, and I saw the results the fastest of anything that I've done for my skin. With this I saw changes in my skin in the first month, and so did everyone else in my life. Omnilux is the company that did most of the research into red light therapy. They're also the company that makes the professional light arrays that you get a treatment from at a dermatologist office. The studies on red light therapy show that it helps to increase collagen in your skin, it helps to increase collagen density in your skin so the collagen that you have is better formed, it's denser, closer packed together."

"I love my Omnilux mask. I used it for about three years and it was the gold standard of red light masks. Red light therapy really does work and masks are a really great way to get an effective, dermatologist-grade treatment at home. I do still love the Omnilux mask and if you have it you certainly don't need to go out and get another one. For the price point, Omnilux is still great at about $350."

"I've been using the OMNILUX mask for about 3 years now and I love that thing. I loved everything that it did for my skin and how fast it was. This was the one device that everyone in my life could tell that I was using it within a month of me starting to use it. People started asking me what are you doing to your face, it looks so good. I could definitely see the difference in my skin in my before and after pictures. My wrinkles were reduced, my pores were reduced, my discolorations were reduced. My skin looked firmer and plumper and just clearer overall. I didn't have as much redness in my skin and my skin was looking just great."

"You guys know how much I love my Omnilux mask, and I've been using it for years and I do love it and I did see great results with it."

"I had been using the Omnilux Contour mask for years and I absolutely love this mask. Red light is so good for your skin, red and near infrared. It's been shown to increase collagen production in your skin, which is what anti-aging skincare is all about. But in addition to that, it also increases collagen density, which means that your collagen fibers are closer together. If they're closer together, then there are like more tent poles holding up the surface of your skin, so your skin looks smoother. The other thing that I noticed is that this worked very fast. When I was using this, I could see the difference in my skin in two weeks to a month. People started noticing and asking me what I was doing. When people start telling you that they see the difference in your skin, that's when you know something works. It's a great mask, great company, love Omnilux. I really love the quality of this mask. The thing that I love most about this mask is that it gives me the best fit out of all the masks because it has two separate straps."

"My favorite is the NuFACE Trinity. The way this works is that it increases ATP in the skin, which is your skin's energy currency. Skin that has more energy, that's more energized can do more. It can make more collagen. It can make more elastin. It can fight off the everyday stressors that our skin comes in contact with better. And it really helps to give me a temporary lifting and firming of my skin. I use the NuFACE Trinity every other morning and I alternate it with my red light mask."

"The one that I use every day is the NuFace Trinity. I love this one because it has a little booster mode, so it gives you 25% more power. It also has the heads that pop off. So, you can get a red light device for this or you can get another head that has little prongs that really, really helps with the hooded eyes called the ELE attachment."

"I've been using the NuFace Trinity for years and years now, still do use it and still love it. The NuFace Aqua Gel helps the device glide along my face and it also keeps it from giving me any shocks or tingles so that it's a perfectly comfortable treatment. It is a little messy to do and so there are times when I kind of get tired of doing it and take a week off here or there, but overall I still love it."

"The NuFace Trinity Microcurrent Device has extra 25 percent of power when the booster button is activated. You can really feel a difference in the microcurrent, and look at the difference it makes. This is one of my all-time favorites."

"The NuFace Trinity is a microcurrent device that I've been using for about 10 or 12 years now. I did a test on this way back in the day and I really was amazed at how it just lifted my skin. It's very subtle, but it does do something for your skin. Basically you're giving your skin a 10-minute massage with microcurrent, which is electricity that runs between these two balls and shoots the electricity into your skin. It helps your skin produce more ATP, which is your skin's energy currency, and skin that has more energy can do more. Skin that's been hanging around on your body for 50, 60 years is tired and not making as much collagen and elastin as it used to, and the more tired your skin is, the more tired your skin looks. It just looks better when I use this than when I don't. This is the more expensive model because the heads pop off and you can get different heads to put on here."

"I highly recommend buying a NuFace Trinity during the Nordstrom sale if you were going to buy one because you can get the Trinity for $130 off which is unheard of you can never get a bargain on it like that anywhere for the rest of the year so this is the time to get it."

"This is a treatment that I do every other day. I love this. I love this new model because it has this 25% extra boost to it and I find that that really helps. What I like this best for is I find that it really helps to lift my face. It helps to sculpt my jaw, it helps to sculpt my cheeks, it helps to lift my eyebrows and just make everything look more lifted. The microcurrent matches the electrical current that your skin uses and so it really helps your skin to produce more ATP, which then, if it has more energy, presumably it can then produce more collagen."

"The device I use alternating mornings with the Omnilux mask is the NuFace Trinity. This is a microcurrent device. The microcurrent in this matches the microcurrent, the electricity in your skin, and it helps your skin to produce more ATP, that energy that feeds the mitochondria in your skin and helps your skin do more, so it can pump out more collagen, more elastin, more ceramides, more hyaluronic acid, more everything. But on the surface it also helps to lift and firm your skin. So if you have hooded eyes that are sagging or if you have sagging jowl or sagging nasolabial folds or want to raise your cheeks, doing this treatment can definitely help with those things. That part of the treatment is much more of a temporary effect. It lasts for anywhere from a half a day to a couple of days depending on how often you do it. It does require conducting gel. I like the NuFace gel, this is my favorite gel, and it's just very soothing to the skin."

"I love this Trinity. I do use the mini when I travel sometimes but this is my at home version and I love it that it has this booster button so you get 25% more power with the microcurrent. This is the device that I've used the longest. I've been using this for about eight or nine years now and I love it. The microcurrent that they use matches the energy currency of your skin, the ATP, and so it helps your skin to produce more energy and skin that's more energized can generate more collagen, it can generate more elastin, it can generate more hyaluronic acid, all the things that you need in your skin to keep it younger looking. Plus the massage that you're giving your face really helps to uplift your skin. I've noticed the biggest difference in my cheeks and in my eyelids when I do it. It really helps with the hooded eyes. It also helps to bring more blood flow to the skin and more blood flow brings more nutrients to the skin that can again help it to do all the things that it needs to do to look and act younger. So this is one of my favorites. I use it all the time."

"The other microcurrent device that I did try this year is the Zip Halo. I got to say I didn't love it. For me it's just not better. I end up getting the gel all over my hands and I feel really goopy because the gel gets all over the device. Even though the balls are roughly spaced the same on other devices, I can't get these right in here because there's this big hunk of plastic on the end that keeps it from getting close to my nose or close to the inner corner of my eye. I just can't fit it on all the areas of my face that I want to use it on. The difference between the original Zip and the Zip Halo is that with the original you had to download the app, but with the Zip Halo you don't need the app. It has a little light ring that tells you when you're making good contact with your skin. But other than that it's the exact same. They didn't increase the strength."

"They did send me the Zip Halo. I know everyone's like, 'Ah, the Zip Halo, is it better?' Like, it's the same. The difference between the original Zip and the Zip Halo is that with the original Zip you had to download the app in order to use it. With the Zip Halo you don't need the app to use it. It has a little light ring around here that tells you when you're making good contact with your skin, but other than that it's the exact same. They didn't increase the strength, they didn't redesign it at all."

"Here's my travel brush set, it's a very compact, sleek little silver pouch. Inside there are five brushes curated from my original set so you get the KPAW concealer brush, you get two of the eyeshadow brushes, you get the blush brush and you also get the BK 101 which is their foundation brush and this is the brush that started my love of BK brushes in the first place. And the added bonus with it is that the back of this folds down so when you get to your destination it just sits upright so you can use this to hold your brushes at home, you can travel with it, and there's enough room in here that you can fit in like a mascara, a blush, a couple other things of makeup if you're really doing minimal makeup. This can be your entire makeup bag for your trip."

"This is one of my launches from this year and it is my travel brush set with BK Beauty. It came out in September and I'm really proud of this product. We were able to create this based on requests from you guys. I launched my original brush set a couple of years ago and almost from the moment I launched it, people were asking for shorter handles on my brushes and also to have the BK11 brush in my handle color, and we were able to accomplish both those things in this little travel set. It makes a great gift. The travel pouch is really slim, it's really compact, but yet it can hold all the brushes that you need when you travel. Inside the pouch you get five brushes: these are four brushes from my regular brush set and also the BK11 brush in a scaled down version in my handle color. The brushes that come with this are my A506 concealer brush, my A507 blush brush, my A501 all over lid shader, and my A502 medium crease shader, and also the BK101 brush. This is just perfect for any kind of trip whether it's long or short because if it's a short trip I can just take the original five brushes, but if it's going to be a longer trip where I need more makeup then I can add in a few of my other brushes."

"The travel brush set comes with this beautiful silver faux leather pouch. It is so compact I love that it's not going to take up a lot of space in my luggage or in my backpack. Inside I've got a collection of five brushes with shorter handles all in travel sizes. The five brushes that come with the set are the A506 concealer brush because concealer is the one thing that nobody goes without when traveling, the A507 angled blush brush which can do triple duty to apply your blush, your setting powder, and your highlighter. For the eyeshadow brushes we included the A501 allover shader to lay down the base and you can also use it for your shimmers or for blending out your crease, and the A502 which is my medium size crease brush perfect for doing your detail work and blending. And last but certainly not least is my holy grail foundation brush, the BK101 in a travel size, renamed the A101. The pouch does double duty as it converts into a cup that can stand by itself like on the vanity in your hotel room."

"My favorite cleansing balm has been the Clinique Take the Day Off Cleansing Balm for years. This balm takes off my waterproof eyeliner, my tubing mascara, all my tenacious sunscreen and makeup in one step."

"One thing that I love getting at Sephora always is my Clinique Take the Day Off Cleansing Balm. This is by far the best cleansing balm ever, hands down. Removes all your makeup, no matter what it is. If it's tenacious waterproof sunscreen, if it's waterproof eyeliner, waterproof mascara."

"For that I'll usually use Clinique Take The Day Off Cleansing Balm. I just take a scoop of one of these and I rub it into my dry face then I give that a splash with water then I rub my Wonder cloth around my face that removes more of the makeup and more of the dirt and more of the sunscreen rinse this and everything rinses right off the Wonder cloth."

"I usually use my Clinique Take The Day Off Cleansing Balm. I just rub it right into my dry skin, rub it right into the base of my lashes, go underneath. Everything comes out nice and clean. I love them."

"Clinique Take The Day Off Cleansing Balm is my favorite first-step cleanser. It's an oil-based balm that you just rub into your dry skin and it removes all your most stubborn makeup, your most stubborn skin care, your most stubborn tinted sunscreen. No matter what you want to get off, this will get it off quickly and easily."

"I love this. I work it into my dry skin, I put it right on top of the makeup and this really breaks up all the makeup, it breaks up the sunscreen. Then I splash my face with water and that emulsifies the oil and most of the makeup runs down the drain."

"Another great deal is the Clinique Take the Day Off Cleansing Balm. You guys know that has been my favorite for years. And they have the big tub for $36 in the sale. So, I'm going to be grabbing one of those."

"This is the best cleansing balm for removing your makeup. There's no harsh rubbing or scrubbing or tugging at your skin because it's so slippery it just slips around, so you're actually doing your face a favor and you're helping your skin to look younger by not tugging at your skin. I definitely will be purchasing another one of these."

"Fragrance free, it contains ceramides and niacinamide so it's got everything that I'm looking for in a facial cleanser. It's a little bit thicker than the Derma e that I was using before, so when I go to wash my face with it, it's not just like running through my fingers and disappearing. It's very soothing, it's very mild, it doesn't burn my eyes or anything. My favorite is still the Clinique Take The Day Off Cleansing Balm for the first step in my double cleanse with the Wonder Cloth, but this for the second step I love, or on days where I'm just wearing sunscreen and I don't even put on mascara, this is getting off my sunscreen really really well with the Wonder Cloth."

"The Clinique Take The Day Off Cleansing Balm has been my ultimate favorite for a lot of years now. I really love this, I looked in my cabinet and I have two backups of this, that's how much I love it. I just take a scoop and I rub it onto my dry skin, I rub it into the base of my lashes to get my mascara off, my waterproof eyeliner. It never stings or burns my eyes. Then I splash that with water, the water emulsifies with the oil balm and then all my makeup, all my sunscreen runs right down the drain."

"This one is my all-time favorite, the Clinique Take the Day Off Cleansing Balm. When I'm washing my face, I don't like a lot of tugging and pulling to get like my waterproof eye makeup, mascara, and eyeliner off. And with an oil-based balm, you can rub it in and it has so much slip to it that it doesn't yank your skin around."

"I use the Clinique Take the Day Off Cleansing Balm. I find that using an oil-based cleansing balm is really the gentlest way to get off all your makeup, all your tenacious sunscreen, even your waterproof mascara, eyeliner. It comes off so quickly and easily with this. I've tried a ton of them. There are some other ones that I do like almost as much as this, but this is one that I always go back to. So, I just take a glob of this and I rub it into my dry skin with all the makeup. It melts it right away."

"This is my favorite way to remove my makeup. I do a double cleanse and this is the first step in it, and I love it that they sell it in this whopper of a jar because it means less repurchasing. With a smaller jar I find that I go through them fairly quickly and I have to be buying one every 3 months or so, whereas this guy will last me a good 6 months."

"The Clinique Take The Day Off Cleansing Balm, which is my favorite first cleanse to get rid of tenacious sunscreen and waterproof eye makeup."

"The Clinique Take The Day Off Cleansing Balm is just so nice to use. It doesn't take a lot and you just rub it into your dry skin. Your makeup dries, it makes the makeup just melt right away. Then you just splash it with water, give it a little rub, and all the makeup just runs right down the drain. This is a really good one. I have repurchased this and bought the larger size tub."

"For my gentle cleanser for my second cleansing step, I've switched over to the Prequel cleanser this year. I love this as a second cleanse. It's so hydrating and so soothing. It doesn't have any hidden irritants in it like fragrance or acids."

"Another thing of theirs that I love is the cleanser. And I'm so kicking myself cuz I just bought it last week full price and now here it is for 20% off."

"I really really love this as a first step cleanser. It's really mild, it's really soothing. There are some surfactants in here which normally I like a face wash with no surfactants, I don't like anything that foams or strips my skin, but the idea behind this one is that they put in 50% glycerin and glycerin is one of the workhorses of our skincare routine. It's in everything, it's humectant, it keeps the surfactants that are in here from stripping your skin so it keeps your skin more hydrated while it does its work of cleaning your skin. My only complaint about this is that it takes a little bit longer to rinse this away than some of the other cleansers that I'm used to for my second cleanse. I just wish that it rinsed a little bit quicker from the skin, but other than that no complaints about it."

"I have gone back and forth to so many different cleansers over the years and I always come back to the CeraVe Hydrating Facial Cleanser. There isn't anything that's as hydrating or as gentle on the skin as that CeraVe Hydrating Facial Cleanser. So I love it. It's going to be about $4 off, down to $15 from $20, which is a great deal."

"I've only been using this for a couple of weeks. For washing my face I don't want anything that's going to strip my skin, I don't want my skin to feel tight and dry afterwards. It's not the greatest at getting off like makeup but I do a double cleanse in the evening. This is just for my morning cleanse where really my skin is essentially still clean from the night before, so I rub that into my dry skin then I give it a little splash with water."

"The CeraVe Hydrating Facial Cleanser is an old longtime favorite. This one doesn't sting my skin, it doesn't have any surfactant, it's very hydrating, very moisturizing. It's not going to remove your waterproof makeup, sunscreen, and all those things, but as a second cleanse it's great. It takes a little bit longer to rinse away than some of the other cleansers that I'm used to for my second cleanse. I just wish that it rinsed a little bit quicker from the skin, but other than that, no complaints about it really. I like it."

"I go in with my second cleanse which currently I'm using the CeraVe Hydrating Facial Cleanser to make sure that my face is super clean and I've gotten all the sunscreen makeup off."

"Over the past couple months I've been trying the Beauty of Joseon Radiance Cleansing Balm and I really like this. This is about on par with all the other cleansing balms that I've tried that are almost as good as the Clinique, but just not quite, but it is definitely a lot less money. I like the packaging on this too, it's got this little flip top so it's just easy to use and it comes with a little scooper which I really appreciate. I'm about 3/4 done with this and I have been using this consistently every night. I'm definitely going to use it all up, it's not the kind of thing where I try it and hate it and never use it again. I really like this one and I feel like this is probably the closest one to the Clinique that I've tried yet."

"This one is my all-time favorite. When I'm washing my face, I don't like a lot of tugging and pulling to get like my waterproof eye makeup, mascara, and eyeliner off. And with an oil-based balm, you can rub it in and it has so much slip to it that it doesn't yank your skin around. You do have to do a double cleanse with it because then you need to wash the oil off."

"Another one that I love is the Geek and Gorgeous Mighty Melt. I just take a scoop of one of these and I rub it into my dry face then I give that a splash with water then I rub my Wonder cloth around my face that removes more of the makeup and more of the dirt and more of the sunscreen and then everything rinses right off."

"This is one of my favorite products, their Mighty Melt cleansing balm. This definitely gives my Clinique Take the Day Off cleansing balm a run for its money."

"The fragrance is super heavy, really coconutty, really Hawaii-ish, but it feels nice on the skin. It doesn't settle in my wrinkles. If I'm self-tanning because it's summer, this is one of my self-tanners that I like. I like the Beauty by Earth one. You put it on with a mitt, and if you want to get it on your back and you don't have someone to help you, this is a great little tool for that. I've used it and it works great."

"My favorite current self-tanner is the Beauty by Earth self-tanner tanning lotion. This one's really nice because it is a lotion. It's not a foam. I find that I get better coverage with a lotion. I can rub it in better. I don't get streaks and hard edges like I do with some of the foams where you can't really see where you're putting them. With the lotion, you really have to spend a little bit more time rubbing it and that just gives me a better, smoother application. I wear the medium to deep shade and it gives me the most beautiful tan and I find that this lasts a little bit longer than the foams because it is in a moisturizing base and so it's moisturizing your skin which is what does make your self-tanner last longer whereas most of the foams are in like an alcohol and water base and so they can dry your skin a little bit. This one just lasts on my skin longer. It transfers to my clothes less. That's why it's my favorite. I've been loving this for a few years now."

"This is like a cream, you can't really see where you're putting it. I like the tan that it gave me. I feel like I got the same color in the same amount of time as the other one, and I feel like it lasted about the same amount of time. The main difference was that when I put it on at night and then put on white pants, this one didn't stain or transfer all over my clothes, whereas the other one did stain up the inside of my pants. So if you're someone who puts it on at night and then gets tanner all over your sheets or clothes, you might prefer this one. I didn't end up with any streaks. It went on really nice and I liked it a lot."

"I discovered a new self tanner this year and I was so excited about this one, it's called Beauty by Earth Self-Tanner Tanning Lotion and I do get it in the medium to dark shade. This is a lotion, it's not a mousse, and it comes out white, you just rub it in like a regular old lotion. The thing I like the most about this is that the tan seems to last a lot longer with this because it is like moisturizing my skin, where a lot of the mousses will have some SD alcohol in them and they could be a little bit more drying. This really moisturizes my skin and I feel like that helps it to just stay longer in the skin. This also has really great ingredients: it's got aloe leaf juice, it's got shea butter, coconut oil, glycerin, green tea leaf extract. This is organic and cruelty-free and it's just been a really great change."

"The glycolic acid is actually a low enough pH to exfoliate your skin, so if your skin looks a little bit dull and a little bit crepey and is showing a lot of fine lines and wrinkles, this is what will really help to get rid of that by turning over those dead skin cells faster. It helps your skin to be less itchy and less dry and just looks a lot better in general. This has been a holy grail for so many years I can't even tell you, and I of course have purchased a new one, have it in my bathroom, and am using it. I used it today after my shower. I love how it makes my skin look and feel."

"I've been using this for 9 years. This is Alpha Skin Care's Renewal Body Lotion. This one has 12% glycolic acid and it's formulated at a pH of four. Glycolic acid helps your skin in three different ways: it helps with collagen production, it helps with skin cell turnover on the surface, it actually dissolves the glue that holds dead skin cells on the surface so it'll immediately make your skin look better, and third it's very hydrating to the skin, it helps to lock water into the skin. It's about $15 to $20 for this big tube. The best thing that happened to it in the last couple years is that they finally put a pump on it because this is so thick that it really was hard to get out of the bottle. This contains petrolatum, mineral oil, and dimethicone, so it's very thick, it's very occlusive, but it makes my skin feel so nourished and so hydrated. This one though is a little bit spicy. When I first started using it I would get a little bit tingly when I would put it on."

"This is a glycolic acid body lotion that I absolutely love, swear by. I've been talking about it for years. It's such a great lotion, but it's so thick that you can barely get it out of the container. So the big news about it is that I ordered a new one and they included a pump. I didn't even realize it was coming. I was like I squealed when I opened the box."

"Concealer, not so happy with it. 4 hours. I feel like my under eyes just look really cakey, really heavy, really creased. Not the greatest looking concealer. I don't love the concealer."

"The concealer I'm going to use today is the Haus Labs Triclone concealer. This is in the shade 23. What I usually do to make sure that I don't apply too much concealer is that I always wipe off any excess on the wand back into the bottle. And then I place my concealer just at the inner corner where I have that discoloration. And I just put on a little triangle of concealer like that. And that much I'm going to use to even out all underneath my eyes. It's going to color correct all underneath. You can always add more later, but it's hard to take it away."

"I definitely recommend getting a really good quality concealer brush. This is my A506 brush with BK Beauty. And this is very similar to their foundation brush. I actually modeled it after that one. Using a blending sponge, it just removed too much of the concealer and I didn't get enough coverage. Once I created this brush, oh my gosh, it really changed my concealer game. You press it and stipple it rather than dragging. So basically, I start patting it into the concealer, working it into the brush. I just bring it across using those same patting motions. And you can see that even with just little patting motions, it spreads the concealer under my eyes, but it's leaving most of the concealer concentrated at the inner corner where I have my discolorations, and it's putting just the tiniest bit of concealer out here where most of my bigger wrinkles are. So when I smile, I have my crows feet, and I don't want my concealer settling in those wrinkles and making my skin look wrinklier than it is. So that's why it's best to keep it more at the inner corner. Just stipple it across and that way you get the least amount on here because definitely with older skin and makeup, less is more. But look how beautiful and smooth that looks."

"This is an excellent concealer brush. It's a viral brush. It's so good for really detailed work. The right size and it actually curves to the shape of your nose, follows along it. It's excellent. The longer fibers of this brush I'm going to use to blend out the edges of the concealer so it really is seamless and it melts into the rest of the complexion."

"It is so soft and so lovely and it works great with the SE concealer, my Lancôme concealer, just about any concealer. It's really just like a combination of the softness and the fluffiness of this brush that just lays down concealer so seamlessly and so smoothly. It never leaves any streak marks, it never leaves it patchy or weird looking."

"If you have never put on your under eye concealer and liked the way it looked, whether you use your finger or a sponge or some other brush, this is the brush to try. I had tried all the brushes out there, used my finger, used a sponge, until this. Now this is the only thing I use and I love it so much. It really does make my concealer go on so perfectly. It fits so perfectly right into that corner of my eye. It's just an amazing brush. The quality of these brushes is so good. The brush fibers are so soft. They never poke, they never prickle, they never make your skin feel bad, and they don't tug on your skin either, which is a problem that we have once we get more mature and our skin gets to be a little bit looser. I use them all the time. I use them every single day in tutorials, in videos, behind the scenes, and nothing has ever happened."

"The number one brush that I would recommend is my A506, this is my concealer brush. I developed this to be kind of a mini version of the BK-101, which is another one of my all-time favorite brushes, and it was the exact shape of that that I wanted to translate into a mini one that would fit perfectly right into the inner corner of the eye. So this fits perfectly and it's so soft. There's never a brush mark, never a streak. It just shears it out so perfectly, but also lays down the right amount so that you do get the coverage you want, but you don't get any excess that is going to settle into your wrinkles. I just love it. I use it every single day."

"It is my favorite hair styling tool. I so missed it while I was away because two weeks without it, you know, it doesn't work in Europe, but when I got home, I practically ran into my bathroom and like kissed my Dyson. I was so happy to be back with it. It makes my hair look really good and I highly recommend that."

"I use the Dyson Airwrap with the round brush attachment. Those are hard for me because it's blowing from inside the brush, but air brushes like that are really good for the fact that they are one unit."

"It gives me the kind of style that I want. It's never stiff or sticky, it doesn't make your hair feel like weirdly plasticky, just makes your hair feel like hair. And it just gives me so much shine. It is just the best hair dryer that you will ever use. I've had mine for a few years, this is my original one."

"The Dyson Airwrap is really worth it to get it on sale. This is my original one I've had this for seven or eight years now, so even though it's a huge investment it lasts and it comes with all the attachments that you need to do your hair, so it's like a one-and-done. It has the blow dryer attachment which I use almost every day or every day that I dry my hair. Then I love this paddle brush, this is really what I use to smooth and sleekify my hair and make it super shiny and nice. And then lately I've been using the round brush attachment to do my bangs and to give me a little bit of curl on the end."

"The Dyson Airwrap is the best blow dryer styler that I've ever used. I actually reviewed this when it first came out way back in 2019, so 5 years ago, and this is my original Dyson Airwrap. This thing is built like a tank. I've never had a problem with it. I don't love the Airwrap attachments on it, that's the one thing that I don't love, but I love it as my blow dryer. It cut my blow dry time down from about half an hour to 10 minutes because something about the Dyson air pushes it through with such velocity that it can use less heat and it dries your hair faster. Everything is magnetized so you just pop them on and off. I go in with the paddle brush attachment and I blow my hair nice and sleek, and then just to finish my bangs and the ends I put on the round brush attachment. Then I can style my bangs, get them to go the right way away from my face, I can curl the ends. They come in sets based on how your hair is, so if you have curly hair they'll give you the attachments to do your curly hair."

"Switching from a regular blow dryer to my Dyson Airwrap has made a really huge difference in my hair. I really don't use the air wrap attachment that much, I generally use the paddle brush, the general blow dry attachment, and the round brush, but I love my Dyson. This is still my original one. You know it's expensive, but I've had this one for I don't know six or seven years now. It's so great. It's just the best hair dryer ever."

"It's got 110 of the 633 wavelength. It's got 110 of the 830 wavelength. And it's got 16 of the deep near infrared, which is 1072. The difference between this mask and other masks is that it's a shaped mask and it has an underneath the chin strap. Most of the other masks are just flat and they don't have anything under here. This is by far my favorite mask and this is the one that I'm using currently."

"I've compared all the deals on all the masks and I've got to say the best deal for the best mask is the one from Current Body. This is the Current Body Series 2 mask. There's a couple things that make this mask so special. Number one is the number of bulbs. The average red light mask will have between 50 and 65 bulbs of each color. This mask has 110 bulbs of each color of the red and the near infrared. That means that every inch of your face is getting bathed in that red light, that near infrared light that really is going to help. Those are the most proven wavelengths with the most study on them that they are actually going to help your skin. And they're also the most accurate bulbs on the market. So much so that it comes with a bulb accuracy certificate for you so that you know that these bulbs are accurate within 2 nanometers of the"

"I looked at the specs on it and it looks really, really good. The red wavelength is 635. What we're looking for is 633. So that's only two off. So that puts it right in the very accurate range. The near infrared is 830 and it also contains blue light at 415. So this one, if you also have acne or you want to share it with a kid, this has all three in one mask and it's got the most bulbs. It has 120 of each color bulb. There are three modes. Mode one is red and near infrared light. Mode two is red, near infrared, and blue light all on at the same time. And mode three is blue light only. Most masks will have 50 or under. So that's a ton of bulbs in here. So a mask with more bulbs, they're closer together, so it treats more of your skin more evenly, and that's really important in a mask."

"This mask is already shaped and has a built-in strap under here to treat this part, which you don't really get with the Omnilux mask. This mask definitely is a little bit big on me under here. I've been using it for about 6 months now. I can't say that I see a huge difference between using this one and using the Omnilux. Even though this one does have more light bulbs, I'm not sure that it's really giving me that much better of a treatment. I haven't really seen a quantitative difference. I think it's doing about the same job as my Omnilux mask. This one is more expensive than the Omnilux. This is in like an over $400 price point."

"This is my favorite highlighter. It's the Charlotte Tilbury Hollywood Flawless Filter. But the fullsize tube of this is just so big. I think I've had mine for maybe four years. The mini is so perfect. It's also great for travel. But it's just a great size if you don't wear a ton of makeup."

"My favorite highlighter to pick up in the sale is the Charlotte Tilbury Hollywood Flawless Filter, but this is so huge. If you're never going to use this all, get the mini. Do yourself a favor. The mini is great for travel, it's great for everyday. You will actually go through this. This is just so enormous. But I wear this in shade four and I love it. Have it on my cheeks today. Just love that extra pop. Just makes the cheeks look so full and so beautiful."

"My tried and true one that I've loved for years is the Charlotte Tilbury Hollywood Flawless Filter. This comes in more shades so you can get a shade. I wear it in shade four and this is more of a golden glow. I feel like it has more pigment in it so it more like colors your skin a little bit. It's beautiful."

"The newest body lotion to my body lotion arsenal is a retinol body lotion from Gold Bond, the age renew retinol overnight body and face lotion. You can use this on your face, though I don't because I use a prescription retinoid on my face. It is a really good body lotion and I like it a lot. The price point is really great. It's a really thick cream, really hydrating, really emollient. Comparing the ingredient lists, the retinol is probably in them in about the same amount based on where it is on the ingredient list, much less than one percent because that's just how it is with retinols. But I gotta say I like the ingredient list on the Gold Bond a little bit better because the Gold Bond has niacinamide, shea butter, and squalane. The Gold Bond also has urea and a peptide in it, so this one is just more packed full of skin loving goodness. This one I'd say is just a little bit heavier, a little bit more emollient."

"I would recommend the Gold Bond if you live in a colder climate when your body skin gets really really dry. This is an awesome body lotion because not only does it contain retinol but it also contains so many of my other anti-aging ingredients. This has got urea, shea butter, niacinamide, jojoba oil, squalane, it's got a peptide in there. I mean they really threw everything into this formula. I feel like all the ingredients that we use on our face we should really be using on our body as well, but it's hard to get them in a big enough quantity in a body lotion, and I love that this comes in this huge 13-ounce size so this will last for a few months using it every other day. It's so hydrating. It really keeps my skin looking nice, it keeps it feeling nice, and it's just been a really great find for me."

"This lotion is my Gold Bond Age Renew Retinol Overnight Body and Face Lotion. This has retinol in it. And retinol is much weaker than prescription options, but it's the over-the-counter cousin, and it's great to have it in a body lotion. Also really thick, really emollient. Love that it comes in this big tube."

"I go in with my Agency Future Formula with tretinoin. It's also got azelaic acid and tranexamic acid. I love this part of my skincare routine so much because I really feel like tretinoin is the most effective portion of my entire skincare routine. It's also available only by prescription here in the US, so in order to get tretinoin you have to see a doctor or dermatology provider, which Agency can provide you with as a telemedicine company. The way it works is you go on their website, answer a questionnaire, upload some pictures of yourself, describe what your concerns are whether it's just general aging, redness in your skin, sagging, wrinkles, rosacea, whatever it is you tell your provider what you're concerned about and then they pick the ingredients that will go into your Future Formula to address your concerns."

"The product that contains the tretinoin is their Future Formula, but it also contains three other active ingredients that are selected by my skincare provider at Agency specifically for my skin concerns. I love that Agency sets me up one-on-one with a dermatology provider who looks at the pictures of my skin, looks at the answers to my quiz, and who then recommends the active ingredients, but not just the active ingredients, the amount of the active ingredient that is going to be the best for my skin. If you are a newcomer to tretinoin, they're going to recommend a much lower percentage of tretinoin in your Future Formula than they will in mine. Agency's dermatology providers can give you exactly what you need for your skin because all of our skin is different. What goes into my Future Formula doesn't need to be the same as what goes into yours. That is one of the best things about this service, it really is almost customized just for you. They choose from a limited ingredient deck, but what they're choosing from are the most effective, the most proven ingredients that you can get. They're not wasting your money on a bunch of ingredients that don't really do anything. For me, there's nothing better than looking at the back label on my Future Formula and seeing the exact amount, the exact percentage of each of my active ingredients that are inside my bottle, so I know I'm getting an effective dose."

"I've actually been using this for almost two years now and I love it. Tretinoin is the gold standard, it is the way to go in anti-aging skincare. There's nothing else that is proven like tretinoin to work in your skin to produce more collagen, to reduce wrinkles, to brighten your skin by thinning the outer dead layer of skin while thickening the deeper layers of skin. The main ingredient that's proven beyond a shadow of a doubt to do that safely is tretinoin. The way it works is you snap a couple of pictures of your skin, you upload them to their website, they set you up with a one-on-one consultation with a dermatology provider and they're there to look at your skin and to address your concerns by prescribing the right ingredients in your formula. These formulas have four active ingredients and they have a whole list of the best, the most proven anti-aging active ingredients to choose from."

"The three active ingredients that I have in addition to my tretinoin are for redness in the skin and they have really helped to clear up the redness in my skin and to clear up the discolorations. I've seen the biggest improvements to date through my 10 years of tretinoin use just in the last couple of years since I switched to Agency. It's really powerful, the things that they combine in here."

"For about the past 5 years I had been getting my tretinoin from Agency in their Future Formula and I love this product. The tretinoin is the key ingredient to use if you have a ton of sun damage. If you can keep that layer thin while thickening the deeper layers, then your skin looks plumper, it looks firmer, your wrinkles look reduced, and as an added bonus, it also helps a little bit with discoloration. Agency is more of a customized cream that's made with your skin in mind. So they'll put in three other active ingredients besides your tretinoin. If you've been using Agency for a long time and you love Agency and you don't want to switch, then there is absolutely no reason for you to switch from Agency."

"This is from Agency and this is my Future Formula and this is the one that has tretinoin in it. The cool thing about Agency is that they mix in other ingredients to address whatever is happening on your skin. So let's say you're aging and you want the tretinoin for wrinkles but you also have a lot of redness in your face or you have discolorations or you have a lack of firmness, they'll put four active ingredients into your formula that will address exactly what you want to address in your skin. They also set you up one-on-one with a dermatology provider who recommends the ingredients in yours and they're there for you to communicate with. They give you a whole sheet of information on how to use it and what your other skincare around it should be, and then if you have any problems you can write back to them and they'll help you right through the portal. You know exactly what you're getting in your bottle because on the back it shows the percentage of each ingredient. With tretinoin the standard percentages that you get from the pharmacy are 0.05% or 0.1%, but with this service they offer so many different percentages. I really like it because the other ingredients in mine are specifically for redness in the skin."

"It can really help to protect and build new collagen which keeps your skin looking plump and firm and more youthful. It reduces wrinkles, it turns over the dead skin cells on the surface making your skin look glowier and brighter. My age spots are disappearing, my redness is practically gone, and my skin just looks so much better without makeup. I absolutely love my Agency Future Formula with Tretinoin."

"With other products, I've been saying for 13 years, there's no reason to get a dedicated eye cream because there's nothing special in it that isn't already in face cream. But this one, where the percentage is so much higher, it's really going to help the eye area so much more. This is so creamy and emollient, you only need the tiniest, tiniest little dab of this. I've been using this for about 3 months now and I really love it. I take a tiny dab of this and I just work it underneath my eyes and onto my eyelids. The one thing that I love about this is that it's so nonsensitizing. You can start using it right off the bat every single day. No irritation."

"They recently came out with an eye version of it. And this is a smaller bottle. It's 30 grams versus the 45, but it's a higher strength of the estriol. It's 1%. And this is a very creamy, very hydrating cream. So, you just need the tiniest tiniest amount of this for your eye area. So, this will last a good long time. These tubes are supposed to last for about 3 months. and I find that they last 3 months if not longer."

"I actually do like this Foundation a lot. I think for something that gives such light coverage, it's really beautiful for the first half the day. It looks very natural, very skin-like, it looks like nothing on your skin but it does give you some coverage and it stays in place really well. But on me it definitely gets kind of shiny and a little bit oily looking in the afternoon. If you have super dry skin you may just love this as it is, but if you do have a little bit of an oily T-Zone like I do, you're definitely going to get some shine later in the day."

"It looks very natural, very skin-like. It looks like nothing on your skin but it does give you some coverage and it stays in place really well. It's a really great one for like the natural look girlies out there who really just don't want to look like they're wearing any makeup but you have some things on your skin that you want to improve the look of or you just want a dewier, more glowy look to your skin. This will deliver that with a very sheer wash of pigmentation. It gets kind of shiny and a little bit oily looking in the afternoon on me, so I would definitely wear a little bit of a more matte setting powder with it, but if you have super dry skin you may just love this as it is."

"One thing I do get at Sephora that I love is the Tower 28 SOS Daily Rescue Facial Spray. It's a hypochlorous acid spray, soothing and calming for the skin. If your skin is irritated, you just give it a little spritz and it takes away the irritation really, really quickly. It's instantly cooling and takes away that sting, and I love it."

"The Tower 28 SOS Daily Rescue Facial Spray is a hypochlorous acid spray. If you have any kind of skin irritation, it takes away the heat and the sting and the burn really quickly."

"At home my neck is just constantly irritated by my hair, clothes, jewelry, you name it. My neck is just in a constant state of irritation, and so I thought well let me give this a try. It's so easy to use, it's almost like a setting spray. I can do my skincare and then just spritz it on or I can spritz it on and then do my skincare. It has really been helping my neck to be much less sensitive. This is a hit with me. I really love it."

"I've got a new weapon in my skincare routine to fight that irritation this winter and I'm absolutely loving this. It's from Tower 28, it's their SOS Daily Rescue Facial Spray. This is a hypochlorous acid spray, it's super gentle and super effective in calming and soothing the skin. It's antibacterial, it's antimicrobial, so it fights acne, it fights infections. After I wash my face I pat my skin dry, I don't get it super completely dry, I don't wait any amount of time, then I give myself a spritz with my hypochlorous acid spray. I spray my face and my neck and then I rub it around a little bit and then I just give it a couple of seconds to dry. I don't necessarily put this on every single day, mainly if I wake up and my skin is feeling just a little bit itchy, a little bit dry and irritated, I'll give it a spritz with this. Sometimes I use it at night."

"I started using the Tower 28 SOS Daily Rescue Facial Spray on my neck and oh my gosh, this is it. It gets rid of my irritation on my neck in a matter of minutes instead of hours or days. When I first feel my neck getting hot and tingly and itchy I can just give this a spray and it takes care of it, and it has kept all irritation away. I swear this is the most comfortable my neck has been in years. In the dead of winter, in January with heat on and no moisture in the air, my neck is not red, irritated or on fire, and it's because of hypochlorous acid. The main difference I noticed compared to another hypochlorous acid product is that this one has a bit of a fragrance to it, but this one is a little bit of a finer mist. Sometimes I do it before I put on my skincare and sometimes I put it on after I put on my skincare and I literally just mist and let it soak in, and I have had no irritation on my neck. I'm so thrilled."

"The Tower 28 SOS hypochlorous acid spray is a new discovery for me this year that I am so psyched about. Hypochlorous acid is one of the workhorses of the dermatologist toolkit, they use it for everything. It can help to minimize your acne, it can help to minimize your skin irritation, and my neck is constantly irritated and I just give it a spritz with this and it takes away the irritation almost immediately. My neck has been so non-irritated this fall. I just love this. This is a really great product, and it also comes in a mini if you just want to try a mini or give one to someone who maybe has acne or irritated skin to try."
