My Absolute (Very Expensive) Holy Grail Beauty Product Is Currently On Sale at Shopbop
In my years of writing about beauty products, I’ve managed to built a pretty good list of favorites. There’s the micellar water I go through like, ahem, water, and the collagen hair treatment I rely on time and time again. That said, I hadn’t found an eye cream that has reached this level of legendary status until now. Retrouvé Revitalizing Eye Concentrate ($415) is my under-eye secret weapon—and guess what? It’s currently on sale at Shopbop!
From February 24 to March 1, you can use the code BEAUTY15 for 15% off select beauty products at Shopbop, which includes skincare, makeup, hair care, and more. I’ll get into more of my recommendations in a bit, but first, let me tell you a ‘lil bit about this eye cream. As I mentioned, I’ve spent what feels like an eternity sifting through endless beauty trends, testing out every “must-have” under the sun to have a robust list of recommendations, but eye creams were the one product that came and went. Then, Retrouvé Revitalizing Eye Concentrate ($415) walked into my life and my under-eyes haven’t been the same since.
Unlike other eye creams that have a more lotion-like feel, this formula is more like a balm. It’s made from squalane, THD ascorbate, and vitamin E for moisture, brightening, and protection against environmental stressors. This miracle worker completely transformed my eyes. I dab a little around the eyes and suddenly my dark circles look way less pronounced and the puffiness is practically poofed away. It smooths, brightens, and gives my eyes that “I just slept eight hours” glow even when I didn’t.
I’m obsessed! It’s living in my bathroom cabinet and overnight bag these days (I even took it on my wedding anniversary getaway where I stayed in a room that looks like a cave). If you want something that acts almost like a magic wand for tired eyes, this luxe concentrate is a total must. Grab it now while you can for 15% off!

Saint Jane is another one of my top, go-to brands, and I’d recommend any of its products, but this serum is something special! With star flower, niacinamide, and hyaluronic acid, it plumps, hydrates, and calms my skin while also helping improve skin texture and the look of pores and fine lines. It’s seriously heaven for my over-40, dehydrated skin!
I’m all about doing whatever it takes to keep my blondish-pink hair in good condition, and this serum is part of my hair arsenal. A little goes a long way to keep my hair silky, strong, and protected from heat!
I get really obsessed with a specific product from The Outset every couple of months, but this mineral sunscreen has had me in its grip since it first came out! Lightweight, hydrating, and never leaves a white cast—I never leave home without it. I’m actually scraping the last bits from my current bottle right now.
I’m a big lipstick girl, and this lip crayon delivers rich, creamy color with ease. One swipe and my pout is ready (and red-dy) for the day.
I can be the worst about regularly cleaning my makeup brushes (don’t worry—I’m not too disgusting; I just use a clean makeup brush until they all pile up), so I appreciate this shortcut from Jenny Patinkin! I just spritz it on my brushes and it instantly cleans and sanitizes them, but I also don’t have to wait. You don’t have to rinse it out and it dries fast so I can use my brushes immediately afterward.
Isamaya Ffrench’s makeup brand had me obsessed from the time it first launched, and I still reach for this palette constantly. Its bold, pigmented shades are completely my vibe and the palette itself is unlike anything else I own. Just look at it!
I’ve become such a lip-gloss gal, and Lawless makes one of my favorites. This hydrating gloss makes my lips look pretty and plump, thanks to a clinically proven ingredient called Maxi-Lip, which makes them softer, more hydrated, and even reduces lip folds.
This exfoliating cleanser is packed with vitamin C and omega-3 and 6-rich ingredients like Arctic cloudberry, squalane, and Australian Kakadu plum, so while it gently buffs away dead skin, my skin is left glowing and super smooth. Obsessed.
A true game changer is this primer from Stila, which evens out my skin tone and preps my face for makeup so my foundation goes on smoothly and stays in place all day. I love the color-correcting effect to help tone down my redness.
Ceremonia is a hair brand I cannot get enough of, but if I have to pick one recommendation, it’s going to be this Aloe Vera Oil Mist! I like to spray it on when my hair looks dull or dry. The aloe vera and Mexican chia-seed oil formula instantly hydrates and makes my hair shiny while also protecting and conditioning it.
I’m all about that luxe bodycare, and this body cream from Ouai leaves my skin feeling velvety soft and nourished. It’s pure indulgence in a jar.
While I mainly use this balm as a blush, I love that it’s multitasking, so you can use it on your lips, too. It’s made with olive oil and shea butter but never feels heavy on my skin. Plus, the color is perfect.
Whenever I travel, I pack a 111Skin mask. This one is perfect for flights since it targets daily skin stress. Ingredients like sea anemone peptides and ectoin help shield the skin from environmental damage while Nac Y² (an antioxidant-filled trio of actives) helps the skin look plumper and brighter.
