This serum REALLY makes your eyelashes grow long; after a month or so of using it, I recommend going down to every other night unless you want your lashes to hit your brows. So with that logic, in spite of being labeled as a three-month supply, this tube ends up lasting much longer. In other words, don't bother with the big tube.

I am a big fan of chemical exfoliants but sometimes I just want to physically scrub the schmutz off my face. This powder formula is gentle enough not to be irritating but effective enough to get the job done, plus it's made from rice, so it won't clog our water supply with a bunch of microplastics. Also, this thing lasts forever. 

Dermalogica Daily Microfoliant $64 (c/o)

I'm a huge fan of the entire Inkey List line, but this is one of my most-recommended skincare products. I go through a bottle of this serum every other month. It's so lightweight yet deeply hydrating, especially when you layer it under a thicker cream or oil. And you literally cannot beat the price. My only criticism is I wish it came in a bigger bottle! 

The Inkey List Hyaluronic Acid Serum $8.99 (c/o)

I've found that people either love or hate Christophe Robin products; I'm in the former group, and this is my favorite product of his. If you have baby-fine hair like mine, it gives a surprising amount of volume without drying your hair out. The consistency is a little off-putting at first—it looks like mud but smells like roses—but once you get the hang of it, it works wonders. 

Christophe Robin Volume Shampoo Paste $53

I'm embarrassed to say how long I've owned this concealer; once I heard that it was being reformulated, I rationed it out for only my most Crypt Keeper–y dark-circle days. I may have wept a little when I reached the end of the bullet. Apparently the new formula doesn't hold a candle to the old version, so RIP, holy grail concealer. 

Clé de Peau Beauté concealer $75

I often struggle with mineral sunscreens; they can make my skin look chalky, and in spite of this one being "silk," that was sadly the case. That said, it didn't slide into my eyes,  which is often a sunscreen problem for me, and I felt like it provided pretty good sun protection. The texture is a dealbreaker for me though.

Coola Sun Silk Creme Mineral Sunscreen SPF 30 $48 (c/o)

Lilah B. recently announced that they were shutting down, which is sad, because they made really luxurious, cleanly formulated products. I also had the pleasure of working with them on some #sponsored content, and they were incredibly generous partners. I loved this mist for setting and/or refreshing my makeup; if you're lucky, you may be able to find some on sale at a Sephora store, however they're totally sold out online :(

Lilah b. Aglow Hydrating + Setting Mist $48 (c/o)

Apologies if you've seen my IG ads 8,000 times, but I really do love this serum and think it's worth it if you can stomach the price. It makes your skin look plumper, firmer, and more even in tone, and it works overnight. For more of my thoughts on it, check out this post. 

Eighth Day The Regenerative Serum $195 (c/o)
