Neutrogena’s Rapid Wrinkle Repair Regenerating Cream great as a night-time moisturizer before bed. It is thick and goes on creamy but absorbs quickly. The addition of Hyaluronic Acid in a Retinol derivative cream is a great idea and the execution here gave remarkable results on rapidly aging skin.
The only downside of this product is the packaging which is a heavy plastic jar. An air-less pump would’ve been preferable. But what this means is that the product needs to be used up quickly to not affect efficacy.

The best thing about this sponge is that it comes in 2 sizes and is the perfect shape to be used for your under eye concealer as well as around the hard to get edges of your nose. Works just as well as the original beauty blender but lasts twice as long for half the price.
I have yet to find a better sponge and trust me I’ve tried them all!

I generally have combination skin (dry patches and oily T-zone) and in the winter season nothing beats this foundation for adding a dose of hydration to the dryness that seems to take over my face.
As a foundation with medium coverage, it does break apart at the end of the day, so a good primer is necessary. However, my skin is always amazingly texture-free and smooth throughout the day because of it.
The price point may be a bit steep for some but the elegance of the formulation can’t be beat.

As a dedicated SK-II disciple I had been hard pressed to give any other essence/toner a try. But when this was recommended to me by a beauty influencer I gave it a shot and I was not disappointed.
It contains fermented ingredients but I would not call this a dupe for SK-II. It stands apart, and on its own merit, it’s an incredibly elegant toner perfect for adding a good dose of hydration in the dry winter season.
The price point is perfect for those who want to commit to fermented products but don’t want to break the bank. It comes in a mist form as well (I love it) that can be sprayed on throughout the day in order to add more hydration when needed.

Shisedo and I go a long way back and when they launched the Future Solution LX line I just had to try it out.
They are using a new proprietary skincare ingredient known as enmei and while their clinical results have been good, I had been dying to try it out for myself. I have been using the emulsion from this line for the last two years as a lightweight sunscreen for cloudy and overcast days (and days spent indoors) because the creamy fluid goes on clear and works really well under primers and/or foundations.
It’s a 2-in-1 product that gives me all the benefits of an anti-aging cream while cutting at least a step or two out of my skincare routine for the morning.
The price might be a deterrent for some but one bottle will last you longer than a regular 30 mL bottle of sunscreen and since Japanese sunscreens are known for their great formulations, this emulsion can’t be beat.

When I first got into toners I was recommenced SK-II and it essentially spoiled me for anything else. Yes, there are good dupes for it out there that have a better price but the quality of the ingredients can’t be beat.
This essence is hydrating (you can totally use this for the seven skin method) and it is a great product to use especially in the winter. It helps that the glass bottle will also look gorgeous for your shelfie.
