Skincare Favorites
AmorePacific Treatment Enzyme Peel: Don’t be scared off by the name, this isn’t a scary peel by any means. I actually use it about every other day as a cleanser (it creates a luxurious foam). My skin has improved from dry and uneven to supple and breakout free, plus it doesn’t leave my skin feeling stripped.
Clinique All About Eyes: Even my husband is hooked on this one. This is the only eye cream that doesn’t make my eyes tear and burn. Helps concealer go on smoother and my under eye area looks younger. Bonus- it’s reasonably priced for an eye cream!

Kiehl’s Midnight Recovery Concentrate: My skin is dry but breaks out if I put heavy moisturizer on. Only a couple drops will do and not under makeup. At night though, a miracle worker in terms of locking in moisture.
Farmacy Green Clean Makeup Meltaway Cleansing Balm: This gets every trace of waterproof makeup off. I just use a warm, damp washcloth to wipe it away and my skin feels hydrated not oily.

Dr. Brandt Age Defying Exfoliator: For extra dry months or after a heavy makeup weekend when I need a little extra help. Teeny tiny crystals don’t make this feel like you’re scrubbing your face with rocks, dual action exfoliating with lactic acid AND the best combination of tingly peppermint and lemon.

Makeup Favorites
Laura Mercier Silk Crème Moisturizing Foundation: I love this for both the formula and the shade- Beige Ivory is my EXACT match. This can be made sheer when mixed with moisturizer or built up with a sponge.
KEVYN AUCOIN The Volume Mascara: This is a tubing mascara. It doesn’t smear like non-waterpoof formulas and it doesn’t stay on like glue as with waterproof formulas. If it comes off throughout the day, it flakes and can be easily flicked off, then in the evening it swells in the presence of water and can be easily rinsed away.
IT Cosmetics Bye Bye Under Eye Anti-Aging Concealer: This is thick! I wear the shade Medium, and a tiny bit goes a long way but it blends out with a warm fingertip, doesn’t crease and lasts all day. I even find it to be a bit moisturizing.
Marc Jacobs Eye-Conic Multi-Finish Eyeshadow Palette: The formula of these shadows is the best I’ve ever used. I have the Glambition palette. The perfect variety of shimmer and matte, this is everything you need in one place and without a lot of extra packaging. Perfect for travel.
