“This product is one that I’m so proud of! I created it in 2011, and it took me four years to create the formula for this shade. I wanted it to be the perfect universal light-to-medium brown. A little goes a long way, and it has very buildable coverage. It’s a lifesaver to cover gray roots in between salon visits, and you can also use it to blend your hair with extensions and to make the hairline appear fuller and thicker. The best part is that it stays put until you shampoo it out.”
“I love this treatment because it’s so hydrating and perfect for all hair types—but especially color-treated, dry, or damaged hair. If I were to choose any one of my products to splurge on, this would be it!”
“This is one of my favorite face cleansers. It’s very gentle on my skin and is affordable too. I use it daily, once in the morning and before I go to bed at night. It does a great job of removing all my makeup and leaves my skin feeling clean and hydrated.”
“After I wash my face, I always use these pads. They’ve really brightened and evened out my skin tone. I don’t have a ton of dark spots because I try to keep my face out of the sun, but the few I had have become increasingly lighter with twice-daily use of these pads.”
“I always use this serum at night after I use my brightening pads. I’ve been using it for a few months now, and I notice a major difference in my skin. It feels smoother, looks brighter, and my pores are smaller.”
“This is my holy-grail skincare product. It’s pricey, but it’s worth it! I’ve been using it for a very long time. La Mer has many types of face creams, but the original Moisturizing Cream is my go-to—it’s so rich in texture and feels so smooth. My skin always feels firmer and looks healthier with consistent use of this cream.”
“This is my go-to foundation. It has a natural and dewy finish [and] buildable coverage. I don’t like foundations that are too heavy, so this is perfect for my skin. I wear this one all year round.”
“I’m amazed by the high-potency, nutrient-rich ingredients in this serum. The peptides and plasma make my skin feel so refreshed and renewed.”
“This palette is great for concealing and color correcting. I love that it’s customizable with the different shades. It makes it perfect for both summer and winter. It has great coverage, too, and is super smooth and easy to blend.”
“Brows are so important to me because it really shapes the face. Tweezerman makes the best tweezer with the perfect precision point. My makeup artist Sandy Linter always cleans up my brows for me, and she uses the scissors to trim and keep them looking clean. I never wax. I only tweeze my brows, so this is my go-to brow tool.”
“I love bronzer. It’s important to always add color to your skin after foundation to give a healthy glow. This is one of my all-time favorites. It’s the perfect bronzy color for me—not too light and not too dark.”
“This is my absolute favorite red lipstick. I wear it every day to work but also when I go out. It’s a thick matte lip pencil, but it’s very easy to apply and doesn’t smudge or smear. Everyone always asks me what lipstick I wear, and this is it!”
“This is my signature scent. It’s a dark and spicy floral fragrance, which I love wearing for a party or formal event. It’s also great to wear on a date night out with my husband. It has notes of tuberose, bergamot, and white musk. It smells delicious!”
“I love this product for those days when you just want to add a little extra something to look more put-together. It’s super hydrating and can be used on the lips, eyes, and cheeks. It’s the perfect all-in-one product to throw in your bag.”
“I love dark nail polish. I always have. I never wear light colors because I work every day with hair color, which can stain the nails. Sometimes, I will do red, but my favorite nail polish is Lincoln Park After Dark by OPI. I love that it’s a dark eggplant purple that looks almost black on the nail.”
“This is one of my favorite products to use at home to maintain your hair color because it brightens and illuminates blonde hair and highlights. I use this in the shower after I wash my hair at least two to three times a week. It makes my hair so shiny and prevents color fading and dullness.”
“I love the coconut scent of this body cream. It reminds me of vacation! I apply it all over after I exfoliate my skin. I actually discovered this product fairly recently because I was looking for something to make my skin feel and look tighter, and it’s quickly become a must in my routine.”
“I love this exfoliating body scrub. The Lemon Sugar scent is my favorite. It smells delicious and leaves your skin feeling smooth and fresh after each use. I use it all summer and even more in the fall and winter to help get rid of dry skin.”
“This broccoli sprout shot helps with inflammation, detoxification, and gut health. It makes it easy to get my greens in when I’m really busy and also gives me a boost of energy.”
