SKINCARE

Danessa Myricks Yummy Skin 10/10 Barrier Boost Plumping Serum (1.69 oz for $42) Danessa Myricks is the queen of innovation, in my humble opinion. This is her first foray (as far as I know) into skincare and she nailed it. This serum is lightweight and adds the perfect boost of hydration. If you have normal to dry skin, I think you’ll absolutely love this. I’ve also found that my skin really agrees with ectoin, it plumps and hydrates better than HA would do on its own. You do have to let this dry down before you add any additional skincare or makeup, or else it might lead to pilling.

Glow Recipe Vitamin C Brightening Toner Pads (60 pads for $30) Toner pads are all the rage right now, and I’ve come to love my innisfree Brightening Vitamin C pads, but I’ve specifically been using the Glow Recipe toner pads under my eyes and it’s made a big difference. I love using these in the morning in tandem with my innisfree pads, and my skin goes from dull first in the morning to glowy in a matter of minutes.

The Inkey List Ectoin Hydro-Barrier Serum (1 oz for $17) The Inkey List makes some of the best, no-nonsense skincare on the market. When they sent over this serum, I didn’t really have any expectations. After using it consistently for about two weeks, I could tell that my skin was bouncier and that my skin barrier was stronger. I actually went to my medspa to get a facial and my esthetician told me that my skin barrier looked really good. This is great for those who need more hydration and want to focus on barrier repair.

The Inkey List Hydro-Surge Dewy Face Mist (2.5 oz for $13) As a facial mist fiend, I love having a mist with me to use throughout the day. I’ve actually been using this product since it dropped within the last year, but I’ve been thoroughly enjoying it in 2026. The mist is super fine, and it never disrupts my makeup if I’m using it to touchup during the day. It’s gives an immediate boost of hydration and glow. I also love the size—it’s TSA approved to pack for trips or to just throw in my purse.

Innisfree Green Tea Ceramide Milk Toner (5.41 oz for $24) Give me a milky anything and I’m all in. I’ve been so incredibly impressed with the innisfree milky toner because it has the perfect consistency—not too thick but not too watery. It immediately moisturizes my skin and I love that it contains cica to help with calming the skin and keeping the skin barrier nourished. I look forward to adding a couple of layers in my morning and nighttime routine.

Paula’s Choice Pro-Collagen Peptide Plumping Gel Cream (1.7 oz for $49) I recently fell in love with this moisturizer again, after switching back from other moisturizers in my collection. It has the most perfect velvety texture and even though it’s a gel cream, it sinks into your skin more like a weightier moisturizer would. My skin feels bouncier and softer to the touch almost immediately. This one is definitely a bit on the pricier side, but I highly highly suggest it for my 30+ skin girlies.

Paula’s Choice Pro-Collagen Peptide Gloss Balm ($24) This has become a bag & nightstand staple for me. It keeps my lip moisturized for hours on end, and the subtle vanilla scent is an added plus. The consistency is similar to that of Summer Friday’s LBB, but thicker and more long-lasting. I promise you’ll become addicted like I did if you decide to try this one.

MAKEUP

Eadem Le Chouchou Lip Softening Balm in Sakura Shaved Ice ($24) These lip balms have gone absolutely viral for a reason—the formula is incredibly luxe, as is the applicator, and they gently exfoliate your lips while also keeping them nourished and the perfect amount of glossy. Sakura Shaved Ice is the pink of my dreams—I was worried it was going to be too milky like Chateau Rose was, but I am obsessed. If you can get your hands on these LE shades, I definitely would.

Kulfi Lassi Lips Staining Lip Liner ($24) Kulfi said I see your run of the mill lip liner, and I raise you a staining lip liner. These are creamy and very easy to blend, and once they set, they leave a light stain on your lips for quite a few hours. I wouldn’t say they’re the most long lasting, but Kulfi makes the some of the best lip shades for women of color. I’ve used the shades Jaan and Swoon the most, and they pair very well with their Lip Staining Oils.

Merit Signature Lip Blush ($28) Merit makes some of my favorite lip products, and the Lip Blush is no exception. It’s a sheer but buildable soft matte lipstick that blurs lip lines and is comfortable to wear all day. The shade range is gorgeous—I wear September all the time, and I’m thinking of picking up another shade during the sale.

Rhode Peptide Lip Boost in Sugarmint ($23) I was pleasantly surprised about the new Rhode Peptide Lip Boosts, and I absolutely suggest picking this up over their viral Peptide Lip Treatments + Tints. The Peptide Lip Boost has a slight tingling effect, but it’s never uncomfortable, and immediately makes my lips look juicy and feel nourished. I bought backups to keep in my purse and in my car because it’s that good. I have a video up comparing the Rhode lip products here.

Saie CitySet Lightweight Setting Spray (3.21 oz for $34) It’s not often that a setting spray wows me, but the Saie was in the lab when they came up with CitySet. To start, the mister is to die for. It feels like absolutely nothing on your skin, but the finish is the perfect midsection between dewy and satin. Plus there are no comedogenic ingredients included in the formula, so it’s safe for all skin types.

BODY CARE & MISCELLANEOUS

Cyklar In-Shower Body Oil Balm (5 oz for $29) Lazy girls will love Cyklar’s In-Shower Body Oil Balms. Squeeze out the tube, apply to damp skin, and towel pat dry for luscious skin that doesn’t need any additional moisture. I’m extra, so I like to pair it with the matching Body Cream, but it’s truly not necessary. I hope that Cyklar expands the scents to this line because although I love a mix and match moment, I like drenching myself in one single scent. My thoughts on the entire Cyklar ecosystem is here for your reading pleasure!

Cyklar Roll-On Perfume Oil (0.5 oz for $24) I swear by Cyklar’s perfume oils, but please note that they’re not as strong as your typical EDP. If you’re looking for a scent that blends with your body heat, that’s easy to mix and match with your other scents, look no further! Plus they’re the perfect size to throw in your purse for on the go. Vanilla Verve, Modern Patchouli, and Rose Bud are my top 3.

Cyklar Urea Hand Cream (2.2 oz for $22) I love a chic hand cream, and this is just the perfect little luxury to elevate the mundane. The component itself is incredibly luxe, and the marble cap adds such a nice touch. The formula is incredibly nourishing, and never leaves any residue on your skin. It comes in most of the scents already in the line, so there’s definitely one for everyone. These make for a great gift, paired with a cuticle oil or nail color.

Cyklar Vitamin C Body Oil (4.2 oz for $38) I’ve always been a huge body oil fan—I used to watch my mom lather up with body oil when she got out of the shower and it stuck. Bonus points that this is a body oil with Vitamin C to help brighten your skin over time and ectoin for ultra hydration. It comes in 3 of Cyklar’s top scents, Vanilla Verve, Sacred Santal, and Naked Neroli.

DedCool Mochi Milk EDP (1.7 oz for $90) This is everything that I hoped and wished it would be and now I can’t get enough. It’s the perfect amount of creamy sweetness without being too overwhelming. It pairs incredibly well with my all time favorite, Phlur’s Heavy Cream. I’ve had the pleasure of trying the other scents in DedCool’s Milk line, but Mochi Milk will always be my favorite.

Luna Daily The Hydrating Everywhere Spray-to-Wipe Mini (1 oz for $12) As a gym girlie who doesn’t want to shower at the gym lol this has been a nice way to freshen up before a full shower. it’s incredibly compact, and there are three types: sensitive skin, unscented, and lightly scented. You can spray it directly on your body or use a tissue to use as a wipe. I’ll be restocking on mini sizes to keep with me!

Summer Fridays Sunlit Vanilla EDP (1.7 oz for $82) I was definitely confused when I saw SF was coming out with a perfume, but pleasantly surprised to find that they nailed this scent. As a gourmand lover, the notes of caramel and vanilla really resonate with me. I like to pair with a body oil (pro tip, try pairing with the Cyklar’s Vanilla Verve body oil) to help with the longevity of this one. Such a gorgeous scent!
