In today’s video I’m sharing my November “treasures or trash” basket—what I’m repurchasing, what I’m running low on, and what’s going straight in the trash. I’m a retired esthetician, so I’m always paying attention to what actually performs, especially on mature skin, and I’m keeping it real about what’s worth the money and what isn’t. I’m replenishing several staples I truly rely on: my IT Cosmetics Brush Bath for quick, in-between brush cleanups (it does not replace a real wash, but it’s fantastic), my rich Nivea cream (I prefer the one made in Hamburg, Germany), and my L’Oréal Infallible Blurfection loose powder—yes, I spilled it and you can’t exactly “pick up” powder. I’m also reordering my Queen Bee Naturals eye balm because it has been a holy grail for my extremely dry eyes after multiple surgeries and corneal transplants. I also talk tools I use constantly: the StansOut sponge for pat-and-press application, pointy precision Q-tips for eye cleanup and detail work, and triangle wedge sponges for setting powder around the eyes. And for “trash,” I’m letting go of the Essence Baby Got Bronze because it’s drying out and a bit dark for me. I even share a non-beauty favorite that stays in my fridge—Activia yogurt—because it genuinely helps my stomach issues.
