These are the products I don’t wait to run out of. The sale usually just gives me a good excuse to stock up.
• Make Up For Ever Hydra Glow Foundation (2N26)
One of the few foundations I consistently come back to. It makes my skin look healthy and even without feeling heavy.
• Cyklar In-Shower Body Oil Balm
Leaves my skin soft and moisturized with almost no effort. I especially love the Vanilla Verve scent.
• Crown Affair The Finishing Gel
The best non-sticky gel I’ve tried. It smooths without stiffness and also works well for adding texture. And, it cleanly brushes out of my hair at the end of the day.
• Living Proof Triple Bond Complex
Makes my hair feel stronger and smoother without weighing it down. I like that it works with my normal routine and doesn’t require any special prep to use it.
• Phlur Vanilla Skin
A warm, cozy vanilla that never feels overly sweet or heavy. I love to wear this when I’m having a cozy day, or when I’m not sure what fragrance to wear.
• MAC Gigablack Lash Mascara
My go-to for lower lashes because it actually stays put, which is surprisingly hard to find.
• One Size Powder Melt Setting Spray
I use this after powder to melt everything together and make my skin look like skin again.
• Paula’s Choice Pro-Collagen Peptide Lip Balm
Hydrating, glossy, and really comfortable on the lips. I especially like peptide lip products since the lips, like the eye area, tend to show aging earlier than the rest of the face.
Final thoughts
I try a lot of products, but these are the ones that consistently make their way back into my routine. Sales are usually when I stock up on things I already know I’ll use rather than buying products I don’t actually need.
