As a seasoned beauty editor, I've seen my fair share of beauty highs and overhyped flops. When I think of how many brands and products exist compared to the start of my career, it makes me dizzy. I don't blame anyone who gets overwhelmed by the choices we have these days. When I find products that I truly love (and write about them), it's a big deal, and when I see these faves on sale, I have to share them with everybody. I can't help it—I love to be a beauty big sister to anyone who will listen!
From February 20 to February 24, Bloomingdale's is having a sale on select beauty products, and a lot of my obsessions are on that list—specifically Beautystat, Dyson, Shiseido, T3, and Charlotte Tilbury, whose products I use practically every single day. They've earned their spot on my vanity, and soon, they'll earn a spot on yours too. From innovative skincare that brightens up my complexion to cutting-edge hair tools that completely leveled up my hair routine, these are my ride-or-die beauty allies.
Every time I'm on my Beautystat game, it's obvious. This brightening serum is straight-up magic, brightening my complexion and giving me a glow that garners a ton of compliments. When I'm off my game and forget to use it, however, I don't get the same feedback. (Insert sad trombone for my sad skin.) You must get this immediately.
When you have bleached blonde/pink hair or really any processed hair, a good hair mask is a must. I have been loving Leonor Greyl products lately, so naturally, this mask from the Parisian hair brand is on my radar. Orchid extracts and botanical oils? I need my hair to be drenched in it.
If you do not have a Canopy Humidifier, just what are you doing with your life? Really, this gadget has been saving my menopausal skin that is extra dehydrated thanks to the heater on blast in my apartment every day. It's quiet and makes me feel relaxed when it's on. I love it so much!
I honestly will never get over how clever Vacation's whipped cream–inspired SPF is. Not only is it always fun to apply, but it also gives serious SPF 30, water-resistant protection. It makes me want to be at the beach right about now.
Shiseido is an all-round favorite brand of mine. I've talked about this firming cream both online and in real life because it has been a total game changer for helping my skin look firmer and smoothing out my fine lines.
The Dyson Supersonic is my beloved, my precious, my ride-or-die hair dryer. I can't get enough of its speedy drying power while keeping heat damage away and in check. Get it now while it's $100 off!
I adore this on-the-go hand sanitizer so much I keep variations of it in every purse, my car, and by the front door. It cleanses and hydrates my hands, smells amazing, and comes in compact, spill-proof packaging. No other kind comes close!
When it comes to a beauty product that I go through like water, it's brow pencils, specifically my favorite Brow Wiz. This ultra-precise brow pencil creates defined yet natural-looking brows that I need, especially when I'm due for a plucking. I actually need to stock up.
There's literally nothing this multitasking serum doesn't do—from brightening stubborn hyperpigmentation to rebooting your skin's collagen production for a bouncier and more youthful-looking complexion.
When it comes to hot styling tools, T3 is the brand I reach for the most. Lately, I've been using this automatic rotating curling iron on my hair—it's fun to use, and the curls last long!
It's no secret that I love Charlotte Tilbury's Magic Cream (which I also recommend getting on sale), but I'm head over heels for this serum. It makes my skin look luminous! It contains the extra-stable Golden Vitamin C as well as super-hydrating polyglutamic acid. My skin loves it.
These Peter Thomas Roth eye patches are a must for a quick, refreshing pick-me-up. Slap them on to reduce puffiness and lessen the look of fine lines. If only I were that well-rested!
I can't get enough of this night cream. It delivers a huge burst of hydration that leaves my skin plump and glowing due to ingredients like the algae padina pavonica, which has incredible humectant properties. Slather it on me, please.
This liquid eyeliner is a dream for those of us who still hold a cat eye as our signature look! I love the pigmented formula and how easily the pen glides across my lids. (This is important when you start noticing your lids are getting a little more wrinkly than they were in your 30s.)
