MAC Color Excess Gel Pencils
“These are AMAZING. They offer a vibrant and long-lasting color; they stay in place even in 90+ degree heat! The color selection is perfect for those looking for a simple, natural look, as well as those who want a colorful environment.” —Kelly

L’Oréal Paris Sublime Bronze Facial Self-Tanning Water Mist
“Nothing conveys summer like the smell of coconut and a slightly sun-kissed face, and this offers both. My skin is usually pale or sunburned, so I’ve never had a chance to enjoy a “tan” until now. The tint is subtle; it gives my freckled face just a hint of summer color.” —Kelly
L’Oreal Paris Sublime Bronze Self Tanning Face Mist
Estée Lauder Supreme+ Youth Power Cream
“I have been plagued with dry skin for decades, and my parched 40-something-year-old face instantly fell in love with this cream. It has a refreshing feel and a pleasant floral scent. Doesn’t leave a heavy or oily feel like many others I’ve tried before.” —Kelly
Estée Lauder Revitalizing Supreme+ Youth Power Creme
Essie Hard to Resist Nail Strengthener
“Because nail polish tends to chip and peel, it’s been easier to avoid using it altogether. However, this transparent tint gives my hands a clean polished look and lasts. It glides on easily and dries quickly which is a big win for me. I am an artist and now I can post my painting videos, attend gallery openings and shake hands with renewed confidence.” —Kelly

Origins Mega-Mushroom Treatment Lotion
“This feels extremely refreshing and the scent is just as nice; It reminds me of an earthy cedar forest with subtle hints of citrus. I use it after washing my face but before moisturizing. It’s going to become part of my regular skincare routine.” —Kelly
Dr. Andrew Weil for Origins Mega-Mushroom Relief & Resilience Soothing Treatment Lotion
Smashbox Photo Finish Illuminate Illuminating Primer
“This smoothes out any small blemishes and discolorations I have and makes my skin feel refreshed. For a natural look, I don’t layer over the foundation. I just added a bit of mascara and a nude brown lipstick.” —Franchesca
Smashbox Photo Finish Illuminate Illuminating Primer
U Beauty Barrier Bioactive Treatment
“This is my absolute favourite. It feels like a mask I can sleep in. My face is really hydrated and rejuvenated when I wake up. 10/10.” —Franchesca
U Beauty Barrier Bioactive Treatment 
Ilia multi stick
“I enjoy the compact size of this multi stick and especially like that it can be used as a cheek tint without a mirror, blender or brush. I applied it on a moving vehicle! Very easy.” —Li-Ting
Cetaphil Daily Facial Cleanser
“This is an excellent cleanser, even for someone with very sensitive skin. The biggest draw for me is that it is a very affordable option, as well as being accessible at almost any pharmacy.” —Li-Ting
