Guess what? I got tagged (that rarely happens), so I was super excited to sit down and do the 2025 Year End Beauty Review Tag. It’s 10 questions, and I’m answering them from the perspective of 50+ skin—dry, textured, and still glowing. I share the one beauty product I truly wouldn’t leave the house without (yes, it’s a $6 gem), the two products I could not stop recommending all year, and the skincare step that actually helped with that tight, dry feeling I get. I also talk about the brand that impressed me the most in 2025 (hello, Morphe—and wait for a sale), and the brand that kind of faded into the background for me (I’m looking at you, e.l.f.). I shout out the creator who influenced me the most this year (Clara Barrera—Beauty is Ageless 55), and I get real about the hardest part of my beauty journey in 2025: coming up with video ideas now that I’m not unboxing a bunch of subscription boxes every month. To wrap it up, I share what I learned about PR and Instagram (I’m a laptop girly, not a phone girly), what I’m excited to try in 2026, my prediction that drugstore is coming for mid-tier and high-end, and my goals for more evergreen review content that actually gets found year-round.
