My Most-Loved Skincare and Beauty Products of the Year

As the year wraps up, I’ve been reflecting on the things that got me through—not just the big moments, but the little, everyday helpers.
And when it comes to my skin and beauty routine, a few MVPs truly carried me through (even when I wasn’t exactly consistent… because, life).



These products didn’t just show up; they showed out,
keeping me feeling confident and cared for no matter what the year threw my way.

Here are my most-used skincare and beauty products of the year and why they’ve earned a permanent spot on my vanity:


1. TimeWise® Miracle Set

If my skincare routine were a house, the TimeWise Miracle Set would be the foundation—and not the shaky, wobbly kind, but the rock-solid one that keeps everything steady.
Even on the days (or, let’s be real, weeks) when the rest of my routine was hit-or-miss, this set kept my skin balanced and happy.
Cleanse, hydrate, protect—it does it all, and it does it well.


2. Mary Kay Naturally® Exfoliating Scrub

Pregnancy brought me a lot of surprises this year, including extra-sensitive skin. My beloved Microdermabrasion Set had to take a back seat while I switched to this gentle exfoliating scrub, and let me tell you, it’s been a game-changer.
It’s soft enough for my pregnancy skin but still super effective at keeping my complexion smooth and fresh. Honestly, I’m probably sticking with this one postpartum, too, because I’m that obsessed.


3. Mary Kay Chromafusion® Eye Shadow in Cinnabar

This was the year I discovered my beauty season (I’m an autumn!), and everything clicked. Cinnabar has become my go-to shade—not just for my eyes but for filling in my brows too. It’s warm, versatile, and flatters my coloring perfectly. It’s amazing how one little shade can pull together a whole look and make me feel so put-together, even on days when I’m running on fumes.


4. Mary Kay® Targeted-Action® Toning Lotion

Pregnancy also meant a growing belly, and this lotion became my new best friend. I’ve been religiously applying it to help avoid stretch marks and keep my skin feeling firm and hydrated. Compared to my last two pregnancies, I can already see a difference. Bonus: the new formula is even better, and I’m planning to keep it in my routine long after baby arrives.
*Be sure to check with your doctor for any new skincare products.


5. Mary Kay Supreme Hydrating Lipstick

This lipstick formula has been my winter lifesaver. Not only does it glide on like a dream, but it also keeps my lips soft and hydrated even in the driest weather.

It’s the perfect balance of comfort and color payoff, making it my go-to for everyday wear. Whether I’m running errands or hopping on a Zoom call, this lipstick makes me feel polished and confident with zero effort.


Why These Products Matter

These aren’t just products—they’re little acts of self-care that reminded me to prioritize myself in the chaos of life. Whether it’s the foundation of my skincare, a lipstick that makes me feel effortlessly pulled together, or a lotion that’s literally holding me together (thank you, belly toning!), these have been the tools I needed to keep going.
