This Season’s Splurge
Tula Skincare Hydrating Day & Night Routine
EDITOR’S NOTE
I was gifted the Tula 24-7 Hydration Serum and incorporated it into both my morning and evening routines. At night, I applied it over my tretinoin, and during the day, I used it as a hydrating base before makeup. I loved the radiant, healthy glow it gave my skin, and it worked beautifully as a lightweight moisturizer under makeup, helping to minimize creasing in my under-eye area.
I was instantly hooked, so when Cyber Monday rolled around, I took the opportunity to stock up. While browsing the site, I spotted a discounted bundle that included a face wash, hydration serum, eye balm, and moisturizer—perfect timing, as I was on the hunt for a new moisturizer. I couldn’t resist and decided to try out the whole bundle.
After using the set for a few weeks, I can confidently say my skin has never looked more radiant. The face wash is incredibly gentle and non-drying, and the eye balm has noticeably brightened and refreshed my under-eye area. The true standout combo is the serum and moisturizer. The intensely moisturizing duo is great for the harsher winter months. Each morning, I wake up with glowing skin and finer, softer lines—especially my eleven lines. The fact that the products feature clean, cruelty-free ingredients is an added bonus. I can’t recommend this set enough.
Winter Beauty Lineup
Oak Essentials Moisture Rich Balm
EDITOR’S NOTE
I tried this on a whim-and and as a self-proclaimed ‘product girl’, this is my absolute favorite product for winter. My skin is glowing and dewy all day, the balm literally melts into your skin so there is no greasy feeling like a lot of other moisturizing balms on the market. I wake up with a dewy “glass skin” look which gives me the confidence to put on mascara, lip gloss, and go.
Typology Tinted Serum
EDITOR’S NOTE
This tinted serum is a real jewel for my skin. It provides light, natural coverage while moisturizing deep down. My complexion is unified and luminous, and the healthy glow effect is immediate. The texture is light, non-greasy, and blends perfectly with the skin. It is a must-have for a fresh, radiant complexion every day, especially in winter when my summer tan is gone.
Dew of The Gods Lip Butter
EDITOR’S NOTE
This lip butter is creamy and hydrating, it’s perfect for the winter season. My lips always get chapped at the start of winter and this lip butter has been a lifesaver. I put it on at night before bed and under my lipstick. I love that it’s long-lasting and you don’t have to keep reapplying every second. I’ve also noticed it’s made the lines in my lips less prominent.
Darlin Skincare Tallow Magnesium Cream
EDITOR’S NOTE
This cream has been a game-changer for my nighttime routine. The texture is thick, rich, and buttery, melting into my skin effortlessly. I apply it before bed, and it really helps my muscles relax—I’ve noticed I fall into a deeper, more restful sleep. The scent is a calming blend of peppermint, lavender, and patchouli, which makes the experience even more soothing.
