I’m a bit obsessed with beauty products, so I try a lot of them. Some can be an entirely new category of product, but most of them are just new mascaras, moisturizers, shampoos, etc…products that are looking to become my new favorites. And sometimes that works, and I do find a new favorite. Or I will use up a product that I like, but not love, and then look for the next best thing.
However, there are some products that I use and repurchase without fail. And so without further ado, and in no particular order, here are my Queen Bee products – those that I can’t even comprehend living without.
- Lancôme Bi-Facil Eye Makeup Remover – I don’t remember when I didn’t use this product. It’s the best eye makeup remover available. It’s gentle but effective and doesn’t dry out my lashes. Try to look for the 13.5 oz size for the best value.
- Chantecaille Future Skin – Truly my favorite light to medium coverage foundation. Goes on beautifully, lasts all day, and the color match (alabaster for me) is absolutely perfect.
- Kosas Air Brow – The perfect auburn brow, comes in a ton of colors to match everyone. Easy to apply and doesn’t smudge
- Korane Dry Shampoo – The perfect dry shampoo – works well and the scent is not overpowering.
- SlipSilk Hair Ties – Again, it’s all about the color – comes in a beautiful auburn to match my hair. Tons of colors and sizes. Never tugs or pulls on my hair!
- Chantecaille Bio-Lifting Mask – Best mask for lifting hydration. Can be worn as a rinse off mask, or overnight as an intensive night treatment.
- Tatcha Dewy Skin Moisturizer – Perfect day moisturizer. I’m not going to say any more because I have talked about this moisturizer too many times!
- Stacked Skincare Dermaplaning Tool – While getting a professional dermaplaning treatment is the best (at Beauty by Biba, the best spa ever!), I sometimes do at-home dermaplaning using this tool. It is sturdy, the blade is sharp without being too scary, and only the blades are disposable. And the blades come in two lengths, which makes it easy to get those smaller spaces on my skin.
- Sisley Velvet Sleeping Masque – The best overnight mask for hydrated, glowy skin. And it smells amazing.
- Sisley Velvet Nourishing Body Cream – Extremely hydrating yet quick-absorbing, with the greatest fragrance.
- Sisley L’orchidee Highlighting Blush – I have all three colors of this – a pink, a coral and a bronze. I love a lot of blushes, but this is my favorite powder blush. Beautifully pigmented, blends seamlessly and has a bit of a glow without being shimmery or glittery.
- Chantecaille Cheek Gelee Blush – The best cream blushes blend beautifully without disturbing your foundation, and provide a natural flush. This blush from Chantecaille does it beautifully. I especially love the Happy color, a perfect pinky peach.
- Hermes Bronzer – A newer addition to the world of bronzers, but the best one I have tried. Good shade range and never looks muddy.
- Saie Sun Melt Cream Contour – I never used a contour regularly until the one from Saie. And apparently a lot of people agree with me, it’s a much-loved cream contour!
- KohGenDo Soft Gommage Gel – Another product that I recommend all of the time. Gets rid of dry skin without irritation, and is so easy to use.
- Clairol Nice & Easy – I use shade 7R, which gives me the perfect natural auburn hair! No need to go to the salon if you use this. I was actually getting a haircut recently and someone complimented me on my hair color.
- Rita Hazan True Color Shine Gloss – Red hair is notorious for fading quickly, so I use this color depositing foam twice a week to enhance my red hair. It never looks patchy and enhances color incredibly quickly.
- Chantecaille Lip Definer – Discreet is the perfect color to match my lips, regardless of what color lipstick I am wearing. It goes on incredibly smoothly, last long and is creamy enough to blend without smearing. Comes in a lot of gentle, beautiful colors.
In looking at this list, I notice that there are some products that have been around for years, and some that are relatively new. But in my opinion, they are all Queen Bees!
Do you agree with my list? Is there anything you would add? Let me know!
