The beauty world keeps surprising us with fresh launches every day - and honestly, it can get a little overwhelming to navigate.
I love experimenting, BUT in moderation. When I find something I truly love I stick with them for years - I’m a very loyal customer that way.
So here’s a little roundup of my recent discoveries and longtime favorites - the true staples in my everyday beauty routine.
It’s no news anymore - sunscreen is a year-round essential. And since we’re heading into summer, it feels like the perfect time to highlight this one.
I’ve been using EltaMD for years now. It offers high SPF protection and works great with my sensitive skin. Most importantly, it doesn’t break me out - which is always my number one requirement.
It also doubles as a great base for makeup, adds a healthy glow, and leaves my skin feeling super soft. Highly recommend!
Obsessed with everything this brand does!
I recently tried their brow pencil, and it’s a must-have for me now. The shade matches my brows perfectly, and the application has never been easier. I love that it comes with a built-in brush, too - and I’ve got a little trick I picked up from my modeling days to share: spray a bit of hairspray onto the brush and comb through your brows. It keeps them in place all day without needing any extra products.
This product is definitely staying in my routine for years to come!
There are so many nice blushes on the market right now, but Clé de Peau in the shade #1 has been my absolute favorite for years. I really love this color - I use it everyday.
I like to apply it kind of in the middle of my cheeks for that soft “boy blush” look, and sometimes even on my eyelids. The result - you look fresh, blushed, and pretty much like you just woke up like this ;）
Finding the right cream for my skin sometimes feels like a continuous life journey. My skin is very picky - most creams are either too sticky or end up giving me congestion. It’s always something… you know, those girl troubles.
This Balance Moisturizer from Medik8 does exactly what it promises - it balances. My skin feels calm and hydrated. It’s meant to pair with their glycolic acid, which I do use very carefully since my skin is sensitive. But it’s a great combo!
My only wish is that the cream came in a bigger size - I use it twice a day and feel like I’ll run out way too soon.
This one is special — the whole lipstick line is sooo pretty. I’ve already mentioned the iconic red in 999, but shades 772 and 100 are just as lovely.
The application is super easy, and even though it’s a matte finish, it doesn’t feel drying at all. Nothing else to say but... J’adore Dior!
