Beauty Finds
Claire’s Hydrating Toner
I’ve been using the Paula’s Choice Exfoliant toner for years now and just switched to this one for the dry winter months. It’s an anti-aging toner that targets dryness + dehydration, redness, and rough + flaky texture — all things that I struggle with this time of year! Has anyone used it yet? I’m only a few days in and already feeling smoother!
Claire’s Vanilla Dry Shampoo
Calling all Vanilla lovers 🤎 Living Proof just released a Warm Vanilla scented dry shampoo and it smells dreamy! It’s not too overpowering and works as well as their original clean scent!
Claire’s Matte Setting Spray
I ordered the travel size of this makeup setting spray during the Sephora sale to try and I’m already going to back to get the full size! It’s waterproof, mattifying, and holds my makeup on all day long!
Hannah’s Niacinamide Serum
I’m quickly becoming a big fan of all COSRX face products and this new to me serum has been incredible! It brightens dark spots, decreases size of your pores, brightens your skin and helps with fine lines! Between this and the snail moisturizer, I’m a big fan!
Katy’s “Clean” Body Wash
This sugar cookie scent from Native is seasonal and let me tell you….it smells AMAZING Their ingredients are clean and free of harsh chemicals too! BRB need the matching lotion ASAP!

Erin’s Finds
Claire’s Jetted Tub Cleaner
If you’re looking for a sign to clean your jetted tub, this is it! We recently moved and I’ve been too grossed out to take a bath [it kinda feels like taking a bath at a hotel, ya know?] It’s been cleaned, but is it CLEAN?? After using this product not one, not two, but THREE times.. a bubble bath finally feels safe! Simply fill up your tub over the jets, pour in the product [a little goes a long way, you’ll get 8 uses out of this bottle!] and run the jets on high for 15-20 minutes. If it’s disgusting like mine, rinse and repeat.
