    Hero Cosmetics Mighty Patches

    February may technically be the shortest month, but with holiday parties and travel and family get-togethers, December FLIES by. An unexpected blemish can cause unnecessary stress to an already busy time of year, so I always keep these Hero Cosmetics’ Might Patches stocked in my beauty cabinet (and travel bag). They contain hydrocolloid, a medical-grade gel that draws gunk out, so your blemish is flattened and less noticeable in just 6-8 hours. And, they’re so easy to use: just stick the patch on the spot and peel it off hours later to reveal a visibly flatter, smaller, less-red blemish. I…

    Typology Tinted Serum

    Big news: Typology is the most-sold skincare brand in France and it’s finally available in the U.S. I got my hands on their tinted serum and it is a WINNER. The vegan formula offers amazing, even coverage and is made with vitamin C and squalene for radiance and deep hydration. This is my new go-to for that dewy, “your skin but better” appearance on “no-makeup” makeup days. This tinted serum is really like a second skin.

    Biafine ACT Calming Cream

    This Biafine ACT cream is THE French pharmacy secret weapon for summer. The Trolamine emulsion heals everything — it calms burns (especially localized sunburns), skin irritations, scratches and skin dryness. Some reviews even claim it helps heal scars. If you’re wondering if it’s worth having this cream on hand all summer, the answer is a resounding oui.

    Rodial Lip Oil + Discount Code

    Do you ever find that by mid-afternoon, your lips still have the pigment from applying a lip product earlier, but they’re just… parched? I keep this plumping lip oil from Rodial in my bag (and car and desk) for just that moment. Not only does a blend of botanical oils hydrate dry lips, but vegan collagen and jojoba oil leaves lips visibly plumper. And, the soft pink gloss is sheer enough for layering over your favorite pigments. The code MARY15 is still active for 15% off site-wide.

    The Light Salon LED Mask

    To your children, it may look like an alien has abducted their mother, when in reality, this LED mask is taking years off mom’s face. I’ve shared it in the past, but now that I’ve been using it for several months, I can’t rave enough. It has massively improved my skin in every possible way — noticeably fading hyperpigmentation, improving texture, overall glow, you name it. Worth the hype and every penny. Also, if you have light eyes, this particular model is amazing because it comes with optional eye guards. Other LED masks I’ve tried do not and for my…

    Frownies Facial Patches

    If you haven’t spent much time on TikTok lately, you might not realize it, but Frownies are having a real moment. Of course, there are endless injectables and lasers, even surgical approaches to wrinkles, but the OG recommendation (from mom) is still in the conversation because they work, at a fraction of the cost. While they’ve expanded into some organic skincare, Frownies bestseller is still the original wrinkle patch for the forehead and between the eyes and the before-and-after photos don’t lie.

    Sigma Beauty Lip Mask

    I have used this hydrating lip mask from Sigma Beauty every night for the past year plus and finally just used up my last swipe before immediately panic-ordering a replacement. The clean lip mask formula is deeply hydrating thanks to hyaluronic acid, jojoba oil, shea butter and vitamin E. I’m addicted.

    Alleven Color Shield

    I’m easing into bare skin season with this color shield spray that works as a light airbrush for your skin while providing sun protection. This isn’t another self-tanner product, it offers a mist of even pigment for a very natural, matte finish and is infused with tons of skin benefits. If your legs haven’t seen the sun in months, this spray is a Spring must-have.
