What I’m loving right now….
When I was a beauty editor on staff at women’s magazines, we had beauty closets the size of suburban bedrooms stocked from floor to ceiling with products to test for stories. The products that made it home to my tiny bathroom vanity had to be reaaaallly special.
The beauty products featured here every month are what I consider my “vanity products.” They’re the ones I’m using—and loving—now, earning them a spot in my routine. Check them out, and let me know if you’ve tried them, too!

Charlotte Tilbury Pillow Talk Beautyverse Love Palette, $69
As seen in my latest segment on Be Well, this nine-shade palette creates the ultimate romantic eye look. Start with a lighter pink all over the lid. Add a deeper shade in the crease and as a liner. Finish with a pop of shimmer on the inner corners. Done!

Beachwaver B-Series 1.5 Rotating Curling Iron, $119
This is another favorite from my recent segment. I’ve been a fan of the Beachwaver since it launched over a decade ago. The rotating function makes waves simple. This is the brand’s largest barrel yet and it creates volume and body, not tight curls.

DMK Elevate Neck & Décolleté Lifting Cream
Like Nora Ephron, I feel bad about my neck, but since I’ve been using this neck cream, I feel less bad. It boosts collagen, elasticity, and microcirculation. Plus, it’s said to stimulate muscle tightening. It warms on contact, so I feel like it’s doing something.

Charlotte Tilbury Lip Cheat Lip Liner in Pillow Talk, $34
I grew up in the 90s and did dark brown lip liner and light lipstick. Then I stopped wearing lip liner for years—until now. My teen got me hooked on this creamy, pink nude lip liner that gives my lip definition and shape without looking harsh and obvious.
-
Thorne Creatine Dietary Supplement, $42
After researching creatine for women, I added it to my daily supplement regimen. It helps build muscle (and we lose muscle mass with age), and boosts energy and cognitive performance. I do feel more energetic and productive since I started taking it 6 weeks ago!

Tower 28 MakeWaves Lengthening + Volumizing Mascara in Drift, $20
Brown mascara is having a major moment. It makes lashes look defined but still soft and natural. I’m not ready to trade in my black mascara, but I like having a mascara wardrobe—and this espresso brown mascara is now part of it.
