What I’m loving right now…
When I was on staff at magazines, our beauty closets were the size of suburban bedrooms, stocked floor to ceiling with the latest beauty launches. With so much competition, the products that made it home to my tiny bathroom vanity and earned a spot in my everyday routine had to be truly special.
Well, consider these six my vanity products. These are the products that have recently wowed me and found a home in my bathroom vanity.

OLEHENRIKSEN Peach Glaze Glow Niacinamide Serum with Vitamin C, $45
In a story I recently wrote for Women’s Health, every expert touted the science behind niacinamide. So I was thrilled when this new serum arrived on my doorstep. The antioxidant improves skin tone, texture, and barrier function, while also helping with redness, enlarged pores, fine lines, and acne.

Meaningful Beauty Firming and Tightening Body Hydrating Treatment, $55
There is no denying that founder Cindy Crawford has hacked the aging game. This body cream features the same Melon Leaf Stem Cell Technology as the rest of the line, which helps firm and plump the skin. Plus, hyaluronic acid and sweet almond oil provide deep hydration.

Meadow and Bark Facial Mist in Neroli Rose, $48
The facial mists from this Long Island-based clean beauty brand recently got a major nod from Oprah Daily—and we can see why. The ultra-fine mist gives skin a refreshing spritz of hyaluronic acid, organic aloe juice, pre- and postbiotics, and more—all with an elegant scent. My favorite is the Neroli Rose, which smells sophisticated, not cloying.

Beautiful You Body Perfecting Bronzer, $57.50
I’m naturally pale and very pro sun protection, but that doesn’t mean I don’t like a bronzed glow from time to time. I’ve tried many body bronzers, and this one has the most natural-looking color and finish of all. Once blended onto skin, it’s transfer-resistant, so it won’t budge until you wash it off.

Odele Volumizing Shampoo, $12
With three long-haired daughters, we go through a lot of shampoo in my house. If I put pricey products in the shower, they use them! I recently started buying this sulfate-free, vegan line—and we all like it! It leaves my hair soft and bouncy, not weighed down, and at $12 a bottle, I’m willing to share.

Flamingo Nourishing Shave Oil, $10
Confession: I tend to shave with soap, not even shave cream. But I recently upgraded to a shave oil, and my leg skin has never been smoother. It contains coconut, argan, and avocado oils to deeply hydrate skin, soften hair, and give your razor the perfect amount of slip.
