I’ve tested over a thousand beauty products, and in this video I’m walking you through 30 fresh empties with mini reviews—what I’d spend my money on again, and what’s a hard pass. I start with skincare (because of course I do), and I get really specific about what actually performs on mature skin: hydration that gives you that bouncy look, peptides and growth factors for firmness, barrier support for when you’ve pushed things too far, and cleansers that remove everything without making your face feel tight and cranky. You’ll hear me rave about a few true “home runs,” like Allies of Skin serums (pricey, but they work), my forever eye makeup remover from Bioderma, and an iconic sunscreen from Beauty of Joseon that I’ve repurchased more times than I can count. I also share a couple of surprises—like two absolute gems from The Ordinary, and a vitamin C that made my skin so happy I bought backups. Then I go rapid-fire through body and hair, because in my 50s I need more help with dryness, crepiness, and menopausal hair. There’s one body lotion I call holy grail because it eliminated my crepey skin, plus a few hair products I genuinely won’t wash without. It’s honest, real-world, and very much “would I actually buy this again?”
