I used to have drawers full of beauty products, but I’ve taken a more minimalistic approach in recent years. While I love taking recommendations from close friends about what they’re loving or testing the waters with a highly-rated product from time to time, I definitely have my tried and true that I find myself going back to. These are my top 10 beauty staples that I use almost daily.
Beauty Products I Love
1.
Hairdryer
This was my big Christmas gift this year—I have used it nearly every day since. If you have thick hair that takes more than 20 minutes to dry, I highly recommend a Dyson. Worth every penny: it’s lightweight, won’t burn your hair, is quiet, and dries my hair smooth in 1/3 of the time.

Gel Eyeliner
This was recommended to me by another influencer. I get asked constantly what eyeliner I’m wearing because it’s pigmented yet looks incredibly smooth and natural. Almost like it’s part of your eye, if that makes sense. I use it with this brush for smooth application.
Shop NowThis serum by NeoCutis is my holy grail for tighter skin, smaller pores, reduced fine lines, and an overall dewy look. I notice a difference within 72 hours when I run out of this product—it takes your skin from dull to baby soft and youthful.
Shop NowMy mother-in-law introduced me to Jo Malone several years ago and now it’s the only perfume I use. My favorites are Wood Sage & Sea Salt, Mimosa and Cardamom, and Bluebell. They smell elegant but not “perfumey.”
Shop NowWhile I don’t wear much makeup day to day, when I do my signature look is a smokey eye with nude lips. MAC’s Creme d’Nude lipstick is creamy, moisturizing, and can be layered beautifully. It’s always in my handbag!

Ice Roller
You guys know I love my ice roller. For under $20 you can get depuffing, jaw tension relief, relaxation, and a cooling feel. I use it every morning over coffee to wake up. Store in the freezer!
Shop NowNo other chapstick, lip gloss, or medicated lip product I’ve used has made my lips feel moisturized and smoothed for a longer period of time. I keep one of these in my bedside table, purse, gym bag, and car. It also layers beautifully underneath pigmented products!

Round Brush
This round brush (2-3/4″) is the perfect size for blowouts. I use it with my Dyson hairdryer and tuck the ends under slightly for a pretty, smooth effect. The bristles are just long enough to help lift your hair at the crown and around the face for a fresh-from-the-salon look!
Shop NowWhile I don’t wear much foundation or powder day to day, I always pop this undereye brightener on to help me look more awake. The color ‘Light’ blends beautifully and makes your undereye area look a bit more bright and youthful. It doesn’t crease at all throughout the day!
