L’Oreal True Match Nude Hyaluronic Tinted Serum

This is designed to be a lightweight skin tint with skincare benefits – most specifically hyaluronic acid which helps hydrate the skin. It’s not thin and runny like a serum and has a thicker texture much like a foundation. But product names aside, the texture is still lightweight and super easy to blend. It truly feels like I am not wearing anything on my skin – so weightless!

L’Oreal Le Shadow Stick

I will forever be a one and done eyeshadow gal and these shadow sticks are absolute perfection! They are smooth, creamy, long lasting and come in a ton of everyday wearable shades. I also recommend these to any one that struggles with crepey lids because they show very little texture and have a subtle blurring effect.

Missha M Perfect BB Cream

This is considered a BB cream but provides coverage like a true foundation with SPF. It gives medium coverage yet still manages to feel like I’m wearing nothing on the skin. Additionally, it is one of my longest wearing foundations! I will put it on in the morning and it doesn’t budge until I take it off at night. It gives my skin the creamiest and smoothest finish and it provides sun protection too.

Colourpop Shadow Stix in Socialite

This eyeshadow stick formula is creamy and smooth while staying put for the entire day. The shade Socialite is a shimmer finish but looks closer to a satin finish when fully blended on the lids. If you want an easy everyday eyeshadow color to throw on and go, this is the one to try.

Summer Fridays Blush Butter Balm

A new discovery that I loved from the first time I tried it. Perfect pigment without being too intense. Leaves a healthy radiant finish.

Summer Fridays Blush Brush

The brush is a must have to get with the blush! So good!

Skincare Favorites on Sale

Elemis Cleansing Balm

Cleansers

Elemis Cleansing Balm

I’ve been using this cleansing balm for 10 years and it’s still my tried and true favorite. It’s worth every penny but it’s always on sale during Prime Day so now is the perfect time to grab one.

La Roche-Posay Hydrating Gentle Cleanser

An easy hydrating cleanser that feels moisturizing and soothing yet still gives the skin a really deep clean.

Then I Met You Living Cleansing Balm

A gorgeous creamy cleansing balm that will nourish your skin while also removing every last bit of makeup.

Remedy Cleansing Balm

The first thing that jumped out at me about this cleansing balm is how FAST it removed my makeup. Usually cleansing balms easily break down my makeup but it does take a bit of massaging it around to really ensure the product is fully removed. This cleansing balm worked almost immediately cutting through all my makeup and removing my mascara within a few seconds. And the price point is under $20 which makes this cleanser even better!

Remedy Rich Cream-to-Foam Cleanser

A gorgeous creamy foam cleanser that doesn’t dry out my skin!

Toners/Facial Mists/Essences

Biodance Collagen Gel Toner Pads

I use these pads every day after cleansing. They instantly plump and hydrate my skin and you can also leave them on for a few minutes as a mini sheet mask treatment.

TirTir Milk Skin Toner

I like to “skin flood” which is layering multiple toners one after the other to help boost hydration. I pour them into my hands and then pat into the skin. This is my favorite lightweight milky toner and really nourishes my skin and calms it almost instantly.

Biodance Collagen Jelly Serum Mist

One of my favorite skincare discoveries this year! A serum in a mist form that plumps and hydrates immediately.

Cocokind Magnesium Mist

The Calming Magnesium Facial Mist helps to calm stressed skin and add a instant burst of moisture. The formula was designed for those with sensitive, reactive and acne-prone skin to help support the skin barrier while also refreshing the skin.

St. Tropez Tanning Face Mist

I have been using this to add a bit of a glow to my face/chest each day. It’s so easy to use and not streaky!

Eye Masks/Eye Creams

Abib Collagen Eye Masks

These are my holy grail eye masks. They help to hydrate, smooth, refresh while also staying put the entire time you wear them. No slippage!

TirTir Collagen Lifting Eye Cream

The TirTir Collagen Lifting Eye Cream is an eye cream formulated to build collagen, erase fine lines and strengthen the skin. It contains plant-based collagen that helps soften deep wrinkles and fine lines. It’s super gentle yet effective.

Face Masks

BioDance Bio Collagen Masks

I only use face masks a few times a week but this one is a must have at least once. I will apply after all of my skincare is on and leave it on for 4-5 hours. Some people sleep in them but I prefer to wear it during the day. I usually apply it on the weekend and it does wonders at giving my skin a nourishing and plumping treatment.

Clarins Cryo-Flash Instant Lift Effect & Glow Boosting Mask

This mask is a combination of great results and a product that is enjoyable to use. It’s designed to tighten, firm and give the skin a glow which it definitely does. It’s also super cold and has a menthol/cooling sensation to it that I absolutely love. I use this as needed when my skin needs to look its best for a night out or special occasion.

Chin Lifting Masks

These may seem a bit kitschy but I have repurchased them so many times! They are a mask you wear that helps to firm and lift the chin and jaw area. There are loops that go around your ears to keep the mask in place. It does really help temporarily with puffiness especially if you use it in the morning before getting ready.

Serums

Medik8 C-Tetra Luxe

I will alternate between two different vitamin c serums each morning. The Medik8 C-Tetra Luxe is closer to a face oil texture so I will reach for this on the mornings that my skin may feel a bit drier. I’ve have been using this vitamin c serum for more than 2 years and love the formulation of it.

Medik8 Liquid Peptides

This has been a long time favorite peptide serum that both hydrates and plumps! If you want to combine both a hydrating formula with a targeted fine line treatment, this is a great choice.

Naturium Barrier Bounce

I love this serum because it can be used a ton of different ways (as an essence, as a serum, as a lightweight moisturizer) but I prefer to use it as a serum. It instantly plumps my skin and delivers intense long lasting hydration. And the price point is under $25 which absolutely blows my mind. This is 10x better than serums double and triple the price. Highly recommend!!!

Moisturizers

Medik8 Advanced Night Ceramide

This night cream is like a gorgeous fluffy pillow for your skin. LOL It is incredibly rich and nourishing so you only need a small amount but it manages to absorb nicely and leaves my skin feeling soft and satiny.

Then I Met You Bong Bounce Cream

A lightweight gel-cream that delivers nourishment and barrier support. If you need something intensive to help with dry skin or sensitive skin but prefer a lighter texture, this is the cream to try. It won an Allure Best of Beauty award last year which is very well deserved.

Cocokind Electrolyte Water Cream

Gel creams and water creams are not typically my favorite textures to use because they never feel hydrating or moisturizing enough for my dry skin. But the Electrolyte Water Cream is one of the few exceptions – it is like a drink of water for the skin! The formula feels lightweight and comfortable on the skin but the deep hydration it gives is next level.

Sunscreen

EltaMD UV Clear Broad Spectrum SPF 46

This is a long time favorite sunscreen and a regular repurchase for me. I prefer the clear version but there is a tinted version as well. I love wearing it under makeup but it is also the sunscreen that I bring with me to the beach/park etc because it gives such great sun protection. And I also like to recommend this sunscreen for anyone that has acne prone skin, rosacea or hyperpigmentation.

Colorescience Sunforgettable Total Protection Face Shield Flex SPF 50

I’ve heard so many great things about this tinted SPF so I’m not sure why it took me so long to try it – but I am HERE NOW FOR IT!!! I can now understand why this has so much buzz surrounding it because the formulation is 10/10. This is a tinted SPF that goes on white and then transforms into a skin tone shade when you blend it in. The coverage is more than any other SPF with a slight tint in this list so you can wear it as a true makeup or skin tint.

Tatcha The Milky Sunscreen SPF 50

This is one of the most beautiful sunscreen formulas I’ve tried in a long time. It feels like a nourishing hydrating serum rather than a traditional sunscreen. It wears beautifully under makeup and leaves a fresh radiant glow to the skin. A must try for mature skin!!!

Bloomeffects Tulip Dew SPF Stick

This is my preferred SPF stick to keep in my purse when I’m out and about. It is moisturizing and leaves the most natural soft glow on the skin.

Supergoop Play Everyday Lotion SPF 50

This is the preferred sunscreen that I leave in our pool bag for the entire family to use. It feels very lightweight, doesn’t leave any white cast on the skin and really protects my fair skin. Some body sunscreens will do a good job but if I get in and out of the pool, I will eventually get burned even if only a small bit. I never burn with this on!

Supergoop Unseen Sunscreen Stick

Another favorite for the pool bag because it helps to control the appearance of oil and shine on the skin. Goes on clear and doesn’t feel heavy or uncomfortable as you apply more throughout the day.

La Roche Posay Anthelios Melt-in Milk SPF 100

A new addition to the pool bag this summer. This is a sunscreen milk with SPF 100 protection! The entire family loves this and is what I reach for when I can’t be in the shade for whatever reason. I don’t have to reapply this as frequently as my other body sunscreens but this still protects me from ever getting burned.

Naturium Dew Glow SPF 50

There is a reason this is a top seller for Naturium!  While the name is Dew-Glow, I would say this is not overly dewy so it would work well for a variety of skin types. It’s creamy, moisturizing and leaves my skin with a natural finish. The price point is also what makes this a cult classic – $44 for 100mL which is nearly double the amount of every sunscreen in this list.

Versed Good Defense SPF 50

The other two sunscreens in this list have a moisturizer-like texture to them, whereas the Versed Good Defense SPF feels like a lightweight gel-cream. It’s intensely hydrating as soon as you apply it leaving my skin feeling plump and well-balanced. It’s a clear formula that leaves no white cast on the skin. For anyone with dehydrated skin, this SPF is a must try!

Bodycare Favorites on Sale

Body Wash

Saltair Skin Serum Body Wash

One of my all time favorite body wash formulations! They are incredibly affordable for how luxe they feel.

Naturium Glow Getter Multi-Oil Hydrating Body Wash

As someone who has been using cleansing oils for her face going on 10+ years, I love using them on my body as well. The entire Naturium skincare line is amazing but the body washes are 10/10! This one comes out as an oil but transforms to a gentle hydrating milk when you add water. It nourishes the skin so well and never leaves it feeling greasy.

Naturium The Calmer Ceramide Body Wash

If scented body washes are not your thing, this Naturium Ceramide body wash is a great option. It’s creamy and intensely nourishing making it perfect for my dry skin.

Cyklar Sensorial Body Wash

There is a reason that this oil-infused body wash has gone viral multiple times. I’ve never felt anything like it before. It’s truly one of the most nourishing body washes I’ve ever used and the scents are to die for!!! A bit of a splurge but they are worth every penny.

Body Creams/Lotions/Oils

Hanni Splash Salve

This has gone viral many times and for good reason. It is a solid balm that you apply after the shower when you skin is still damp. You massage it all over, quickly rinse off the excess and then gently pat dry. When I tell you my skin feels BABY SOFT after using this, I am not exaggerating. It’s considered a deep conditioning treatment for the body, much like you do for your hair. It dries very quickly so you can get dressed right after and there is no greasy feeling left on the skin. And the scent is absolutely AMAZING!

Cyklar Nutrient-Rich Body Cream

I have yet to try anything from Cyklar that I didn’t immediately fall in love with. This body cream is intensely rich and moisturizing but absorbs quickly without leaving a greasy film on the skin. Also the scents last for HOURS!

Cyklar Ceramide Milky Essence

I use milky essences on my face both morning and night so I am so happy to be using one for the body. I prefer to use this in the morning because it is incredibly lightweight. It doesn’t take long to absorb and keeps my skin hydrated all day long. If you are experiencing extra dry skin, layer this under your favorite rich body cream for additional bit of moisture.

Naturium The Glow Getter Multi-Oil Body Butter

If you love the Glow Getter Body Wash, the Body Butter is a must try! It’s a multi-oil body butter that intensely nourishes, hydrates and soothes the skin. It has a light vanilla/coconut scent that isn’t overpowering or lingering once absorbed into the skin. There is a reason that this continues to be a top seller for the brand because it’s one of the best body butters I’ve ever tried.

Salt & Stone Body Cream

I take my body care very seriously and love a rich nourishing body cream especially in the colder months. These are creamy, rich and smooth while absorbing in just a few minutes. The scents are what keep me coming back though. They last for so long and smell divine.

Saltair Hyaluronic Acid Body Serum

I love hyaluronic acid products for my face because they help to intensely hydrate as well as hold onto moisture for longer. Additionally, hyaluronic acid is great for helping to plump, firm and boost skin elasticity. Adding a hyaluronic acid treatment serum into my body care routine has really helped with any dehydration or intense dryness. I typically like to layer this under a body cream or body lotion for that added boost of hydration in my routine.

Saltair Retinol Revive Overnight Body Lotion

As I’ve gotten older, retinol is one of the most important ingredients in my skincare routine. Cellular turnover slows down as we age so it’s important to use a retinol product to help speed up this process. Only using products that hydrate or add moisture into the skin won’t do much for the appearance, texture and tone of the skin on your body. Adding in those products containing targeted anti-aging ingredients will really help to improve the skin’s overall look and feel. I don’t use this body lotion every day but try to add it into my routine 1-2x/week. It’s important to use SPF daily while using a retinol product, so be sure to apply a daily sunscreen to the body or any areas that are exposed to the sun.

Hand/Feet Care

Amlactin exfoliating foot cream

I’ve been buying this for 4 years because nothing makes my feet as smooth as this.

Remedy Hand Cream

I’m VERY picky about my hand creams but immediately fell in love with this one. It’s nourishing but not greasy while also containing retinol to help target anti-aging concerns.

Hair Care

Epres Bond Repair

I use it once a week before I shower drenching my dry hair with the solution and leaving it on for 10 minutes. I’ve noticed a HUGE difference in the ends of my hair and overall health of my hair.

nightlight and Hoover Smart Wash Vacuum

Nightlight (updated version)

I bought this for Miles a few years ago and we still use it EVERY SINGLE NIGHT. This exact model is no longer available but they have updated it and made it look a bit better but it still performs the same way. Out of all the toys and things I have purchased Miles over the years, this may be one of the best things and the one we use the most. It’s perfect for kids of all ages – not just for the little kiddos.

Hoover Smart Wash Vacuum

My girlfriend recommended this carpet cleaner to me because I wanted something to deep clean my carpets at home. This is AMAZING and removed nearly every stain even if it was yearssss old. A must have for every home!

Carepod Humidifier

The BEST humidifier I’ve ever used. So easy to clean which is my main issue with all humidifiers – they are a nightmare to clean! This one is a breeze so no mold accumulates!

Hatch Baby

Even though Miles is now 8, I have this for him because he loves using it as his alarm clock! Also it plays some of the best ambient sounds at night.

Black Leggings

I’ve been wearing these leggings for years and they are still one of my favorites!

Makeup sponges

I’ve been buying these for a few years now and they have replaced all my other makeup sponges.

Shower steamer tablets

Both myself and Miles love these. You place one on the floor of the shower and they dissolve and release the most amazing spa-like scent as you wash.

Clip-on light for phone/computer

This is absolute magic and is like your own personal lighting crew. If you do zoom meetings or film content, this light is a must have.

Air fryer

We upgraded our air fryer to this one because it has two baskets so we can cook separate things at the same time. It’s a life saver.

Jergens Wet Skin Self Tanner

I already repurchased this self tanner. So easy to apply on damp skin and it doesn’t smell like self tanner.

Weighted Vest

I wear this every time I go on a walk. I bought it after seeing a menopause doctor I follow on social media recommend it for helping with bone density in perimenopausal and menopausal women.

Flameless Lighter

A rechargeable lighter for my candles. Every time I gift someone a candle, I gift this with it.

Eye Massager

I bought this for Stan to help with sinus pressure and headaches. It is heated and massages the eye area and temples. It’s absolutely a game changer for headaches and sinus pain!

Foot Massager

Amazing for sore feet!

Powder Puffs

These are the puffs I use to apply my pressed powder and they are fantastic! So velvety smooth and the perfect shape.

Terrycloth wristbands

This keeps the water from running down your arms when you are washing your face.

Everything I Read in June 2026

Everything I Read in June 2026

1. Junie

This took a bit to get into and at parts it dragged on, but in the end I absolutely loved it. Junie has spent her entire life enslaved on a plantation in Alabama. She has been the attendant to the daughter of the home, Violet and they have both grown up together. Now in their late teens, Junie faces the inevitable truth that once Violet goes off to get married, Junie must follow her. That means leaving her family and all she has ever known. In her desperation for freedom and to stay with her loved ones, Junie commits various acts to hopefully derail Violet’s plans. Throughout all this, Junie becomes aware of some devastating truths about the whereabouts of her own birth mother and what really happened to cause the death of her beloved older sister. Rating: 8

2. Too Close To Home

An easy thriller that will keep you engaged from the beginning! Residents of a wealthy lakefront community are faced with tragedy when a car explodes killing one person during the annual Labor Day party. It was Regan’s car but she let a friend use it during the party to go pick up more supplies. Was the bomb meant for her? And if so, why? As Regan looks into the possible motive behind the bombing, she discovers dark secrets from those in her inner circle which makes her wonder if she ever knew her friends. So many secrets but the truth has to come out at some point but at what cost?! This was one of my favorite kind of thrillers to read because the story is easy to follow with tons of twists that keep me guessing the whole time. Rating: 9

3. Caller Unknown

I kept wanting this book to get better but it never really did. I finished it because I wanted to know how it would end. But the story dragged on slowly for being a mystery/thriller. Simone is flying from London to spend some time with her daughter Lucy, who is currently spending time at a camp in Texas before she begins university. But on the first morning of their vacation, Simone wakes to find Lucy kidnapped. Forcefully taken in the middle of the night with no idea of who could have taken her. Shortly after, Simone is contacted by the kidnappers with ransom instructions. Simone’s husband urges her to call the police instead of trying to get Lucy back herself, but Simone feels that will put Lucy in more danger. Though the premise of the book had potential, there was too much detail that bogged down the story. Rating: 7

4. Dead Girls Book Club

The ending of this book will have your jaw on the floor! A true twist like no other. Amelia’s husband is a detective hunting down a serial killer. He’s always working leaving Amelia alone with no family or friends to talk to. While visiting a local coffee shop, Amelia meets a few other women who invite her to join their book club. Excited to make some new friends, Amelia arrives to the book club only to find out it’s not what she imagined. These women are bonded in a way that makes Amelia hesitant but decides that she will take the chance in getting to know them. As her husband’s case heats up, Amelia realizes that these women may know more about the killer than the police do.

All I can say is that wherever you think this book is going, it takes a sharp turn at the end! Ha! Rating: 8.5

5. The Briar Club

I never wanted this book to end! I would only allow myself to listen to a few chapters at a time because I wanted the story to last forever. And the story was told from so many different points of view but it all came together beautifully!

It takes place in Washington D.C. during the 1950’s following the lives of the women living at the Briarwood House, a female boardinghouse in the nation’s capitol. This group of women come from all walks of life, each with their own story of what led them to live at Briarwood. While they all start out as strangers, bonds form that allow the women to create a community of support in a tumultuous time in history. After a murder occurs on Thanksgiving, authorities come to investigate only to find out that some of the women have been keeping secrets that will shock everyone. This is one of the best books I’ve read this year! Rating: 9.5

6. The Wrong Daughter

I enjoyed 3/4 of this book until things began to unravel in the end. The plot got a bit too weird and dramatic which ruined it a bit for me. But the majority of the book had me completely perplexed (in the best way!). Caitlin and Olivia were finally old enough to stay home alone so they thought they would have a fun night enjoying a bit of freedom. When their parents arrive back at home, they are horrified to find Olivia’s room empty and Caitlin in shock. Someone had come into the home and kidnapped Olivia while Caitlin watched the whole thing in horror. He wore a mask but her memory of that night has haunted her for her entire life.

Now 16 years later, Caitlin gets a call from her parents saying Olivia has shown back up and escaped her captor. The family is elated that Olivia is still alive and come back to them, but Caitlin is unsure about the story Olivia shares with them about where she has been these past 16 years. Things begin to fracture within the family when Caitlin questions if Olivia is even who she says she is. Even though the ending is rushed and ridiculous, the majority of the book is a wild ride and entertaining. Rating: 8.5
