There’s a lot to cover, so I’ll keep this intro short and sweet.
This is my first time putting together a dedicated beauty roundup of this sort, but after years of testing so many amazing beauty products, I knew I had to share my favorites. With the Sephora Savings Event right around the corner (10/31-11/10), there’s no better time to spotlight the ones that truly stood out to me. Below you’ll find my personal recommendations—all tried, true, and worth every penny—plus a peek at what’s currently in my cart. It really does take a village.
