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!

Dazzle Dry Nail Lacquer in C.E.O., $22
If you caught my recent reel, you know I have a new nail obsession. This nail polish line lasts up to 14 days, doesn’t require UV light, comes off with regular polish remover, and is non-toxic. My first mani lasted two weeks, and now I’m rocking this deep red shade.

Isdin K-Ox Eyes, $106
This eye cream is a splurge, but if you deal with undereye bags, puffiness, and/or dark circles, it’s a good one! The formula contains vitamin K, which helps with darkness, Haloxyl to firm up bags, Eyeliss, and a cooling ceramic tip to reduce puffiness on contact. I use it every morning to help de-puff my sleepy eyes.
-
Weleda Makeup Removing Cleansing Oil, $20
I recently switched to this oil cleanser, and my skin feels incredibly smooth and soft. Plus, all of my makeup dissolves away in one rinse. It can be the first step in a double cleanse or used alone. The oil turns milky when mixed with water and rinses clean. No oily residue!

Anisa Beauty Angled Cream Blush Brush, $32
I’ve been using Anisa’s game-changing Pinnacle Foundation Brush for a while, and they’ve done it again with this brush for cream blush. The densely packed, domed bristles help cream formulas blend seamlessly into cheeks, and the angled shape is designed perfectly for the tops of your cheekbones.
-
Jones Road Lip and Cheek Stick in Rosy Brown, $34
Speaking of cream blush…I’ve been using this neutral rose blush shade on my cheeks. I apply a swipe high on my cheekbones and then use the Anisa blush brush to blend the color toward my temples. It’s also the perfect everyday lip shade—a sheer pink with a hint of brown.

Tarte Lights Camera 4-in-1 Lashes, $27
I used this mascara when it first launched, and I recently got a sample size when buying my all-time favorite lash curler. And damn, I was quickly reminded of what I loved about it! It thickens, lengthens, and curls my little lashes in just two coats. It conditions lashes, too.
