Tatcha Dewy Skin Cream
"Winter or summer, underneath makeup or on its own, this moisturizer has been my absolute favorite and I’ve yet to find a comparable cream. It’s extremely hydrating and rich but doesn’t leave your face feeling overwhelmed."
Dana Oliver
Vintner’s Daughter Active Botanical Serum
"It’s loaded with nourishing botanicals and essential oils, including avocado, grape seed, neroli, sea buckthorn, turmeric, and rose. Plus, it doesn’t possess the typical 'watery' texture that most serums have — more kin to an oil."

Sisley-Paris Phyto-Touche Sun Glow Bronzing Gel-Powder & Saint Cosmetics Radiance Finish Blush in Frosé
"It's a tie between the Sisley-Paris Phyto-Touche Sun Glow Bronzing Gel-Powder, which is a gorgeous true tan for sun-kissed skin on demand, and the Saint Cosmetics Radiance Finish Blush in Frosé, which is a luminous mauve pink that delivers something special to all skin tones. Together, they are my complexion powder duo for a polished face in mere seconds."

Shani Darden Retinol Reform
"Retinol is a staple skincare ingredient because it can treat a plethora of concerns, from hyperpigmentation to uneven skin texture, but many products are too irritating for my skin. Shani Darden's Retinol Reform lives up to the hype: it's gentle enough for my sensitive skin, but still yields results."
Kirbie Johnson
Fresh Soy Face Cleanser
"I’ve been using this product for years and it will always be the superior cleanser, in my humble opinion. I know cleansers aren’t sexy, but this is the first cleanser I ever used that not only fully removed my on-camera makeup, but was able to wash away every speck of my eye makeup without irritating my eyes or stripping my skin. It’s worth every penny."
Emily Ferber
Sobel Skin 35% Vitamin C Face Serum
"My holy grail product (other than my prescription retinol) is Vitamin C. At night I use retinol to keep my skin clear and smooth, and then in the morning, I layer Sobel Skin 35% Vitamin C Face Serum under SPF to reduce redness and boost my skin's brightness. It's a killer combo and makes my routine super effective and super simple at the same time."
Ali Oshinsky
Beautystat Universal C Skin Refiner
"Vitamin C serum? A dime a dozen! Really, really good vitamin C serum? There's only a handful, and to me, just one that's truly worth the money. Beautystat's Universal Skin Refiner is long-lasting without being weak, powerful without being drying, and effectively tackles all my biggest skin concerns (dark spots, texture, dullness) in one pump of satiny gel. You don't *need* to use vitamin C, but if you've been looking for one, this is it."
Jennifer G. Sullivan
Thrive Causemetics Liquid Lash Extensions Mascara
"I could devote hours to talking about the search for the perfect mascara (and one could argue I already have on my podcast, Fat Mascara). But lately, this one from Thrive Causemetics is checking all my boxes. It doesn’t smudge thanks to its tubing-like technology, it’s inky black, and it has just the right amount of drama, with a thickening and lengthening formula that gives you the look of the best false lashes of your life."
Kristina Rodulfo
Dyson Airwrap
"My holy grail beauty pick is the Dyson Airwrap! I've been using it almost every day for three years (and I even travel with it), and it has totally leveled up my hair routine. I love that the heat is non-damaging and that it dries at the same time so you cut down on styling time (which, for my long, thick hair, is a major bonus). I most often use the curling barrels for a voluminous, bouncy blowout."
Sara Tan Christensen
Vintner's Daughter Active Botanical Serum
"My skin quite literally thirsts for this product when I stop using it. No matter how dry, irritated, or red my skin may be, the Active Botanical Serum calms, hydrates, and brightens my face overnight. Every single drop is filled with nutrient-rich botanicals and essential oils that restore your skin's balance, banish any breakouts, and leave your complexion glowier than ever."
