the sephora brushes are truly underrated! i’ve had the same set for like 9 years at this point and they still perform beautifully

I need a new vitamin c, as my Skinceuticals and Paula's Choice are both out. Super curious if anyone has recommendations!

I have gone through at least 3 bottles of the Hyper Skin Hyper Even Serum and still love it. I'd say it's good for the price, but even if it were 2x more expensive, I'd still tell you it's my favorite vitamin C I've used in the last 4 years. https://go.shopmy.us/p-1341766

OOOH yes I do remember you posting about that a while back. Thank you!! Also curious if you have a face moisturizer recommendation for just a general daily moisturizer - I have normal to dry skin. I've been using Tatchy Dewy cream but it's a bit pricey for me at the moment.

I am still looking for my one moisturizer recommendation that I can give without fail. I have the Tatcha Dewy Cream and have been pretty underwhelmed by it. Feels nice, but isn't doing anything for me that any other moisturizer hasn't done. I've been working my way through the Shani Darden Weightless Oil-Free Moisturizer (https://go.shopmy.us/p-2524134), which I really like and has a pretty middle-of-the-road weight but NEVER breaks me out (I also hear good things about her Peptide version, but it's also expensive - https://go.shopmy.us/p-2524151).

For winter, I love to recommend Glossier After Baume (https://go.shopmy.us/p-2524200) -- it's a very heavy barrier recovery cream that is great for those nights when you really want to seal everything in and nourish skin, and then use something lighter during the day.

Yeah agreed on Tatcha Dewy Cream being a bit underwhelming. I'll consider trying the Shani Darden!

Also on my list is just replacing some of my standard things:

- Charlotte Tilbury eyebrow gel

- Nars tinted moisturizer

- Tatcha primer

- Pat McGrath concealer

I love hearing love for that Nars Tinted Moisturizer -- it's really good and everyone always forgets that!

This is a wise recommendation! I have been using the same blush brush for probably 15 years now. I think it's time for an upgrade!
