Face Loves & Holy Grails

My notes for all my Loved face products since we can no longer edit them outside of shelves.

Minimalist Multi-Peptides 10%

Multi-Peptides 10% Minimalist

Cutting edge Matrixyl 3000 & Bio-Placenta EGF peptides on the CHEAP. These ingredients are some of the best kept secrets in skincare and this product easily maximizes my evening routine.
Vaseline 100% Pure Petroleum Jelly

100% Pure Petroleum Jelly Vaseline

I'm a "slugging" convert and loyalist. Instead of waking up dry and flaky, my skin is soft, supple, and bright. I rub in any excess into my hands and cuticles. I use an off brand tube version for sanitary applications.
Laneige Lip Glowy Balm

Lip Glowy Balm Laneige

My prayers for a portable lip sleeping mask were answered with this. It's not as moisturizing as the lip sleeping mask alone, but it's perfect for reapplying throughout the day.
Laneige Lip Sleeping Mask Berry

Lip Sleeping Mask Laneige

Moisturizes my lips longer than anything I've ever used. I swipe some on morning and night, before I leave the house, and as needed. I've been using this product for years and years. It's a certified HG.
Shiseido Eyelash Curler

Eyelash Curler Shiseido

Specifically THIS eyelash curler has been my HG all my life because it fits my large, round eyes the best. No pinching ever.
Grande Cosmetics GrandeLASH-MD Lash Enhancing Serum

GrandeLASH-MD Lash Enhancing Serum Grande Cosmetics

This tripled the length of my short, stick-like lashes. No need for daily mascara or extensions. I've fortunately experienced no side effects after using this for years. It lasts forever and I use it daily.
Grande Cosmetics GrandeBrow Brow Enhancing Serum

GrandeBrow Brow Enhancing Serum Grande Cosmetics

Does the same magic as the lash serum, but it works overnight for me. I already have full brows, so I use this to fill in sparser areas to define the shape. It works so well that I only use it a few times a month.
MediCube [Glow Booster] Age-R Booster-H

[Glow Booster] Age-R Booster-H MediCube

This served me well for a while before I upgraded. I felt it made a noticeable difference to how my skin looked and it felt luxurious to use. I gave this to my mom and she LOVES it. I saw a noticeable improvement for her as well.
Drunk Elephant A-Gloei Maretinol Oil

A-Gloei Maretinol Oil Drunk Elephant

I no longer use this, but I enjoyed it while it lasted. It's a very gentle retinol and feels soooo good. I gave the rest of my product to my mom and she ended up repurchasing a few more times before switching to Mad Hippie's retinol.
BYBI Bakuchiol Booster

Bakuchiol Booster BYBI

I used this prior to starting retinol and really liked it. It's super easy to use and doesn't conflict with anything. The only problem is that it's always sold out and hard to get sometimes. This is another product my mom ended up loving.
The Ordinary 100% Plant-Derived Squalane

100% Plant-Derived Squalane The Ordinary

I've bought countless bottles of this over the years, as I realized my skin always felt better with squalane... but it no longer fits into my routines as a stand alone product. Still a great, cheap product that lasts forever.
Dr. Song 2.5% Benzoyl Peroxide Advanced Acne Gel

2.5% Benzoyl Peroxide Advanced Acne Gel Dr. Song

No fuss formula that cleared up any closed comedones overnight. I used this as a spot treatment for years. Lasts for freaking ever. Insane value.
MediCube Age-R Booster Pro Black

Age-R Booster Pro MediCube

naevis rated The BEST facial tool of all time. Booster and EMS modes ❤️. I love that this tool can be used with my own products. It's worth it for the EMS mode alone. Provides transformative results and also has LED light therapy.
Laneige Lip Sleeping Mask Gummy Bear

Lip Sleeping Mask Laneige

I smelled this in Sephora and instantly fell in love. It's so delicious. It smells EXACTLY like grape PEZ, which I was obsessed with as a kid. Not a fan of the slight purple tint on my lips so I only use this at night as a bedtime ritual.
EltaMD, Inc UV Daily Facial Sunscreen Broad-Spectrum SPF 40 Tinted

UV Daily Facial Sunscreen Broad-Spectrum SPF 40 EltaMD, Inc

naevis rated Forever HG sunscreen. I'm done searching. This doesn't dry me out like other physical sunscreens and feels so lightweight. The tint matches me perfectly and has a beautiful, natural "my skin but better" finish.
Eris Oaknet Revize Micro Tretinoin Gel 0.025%

Revize Micro Tretinoin Gel 0.025% Eris Oaknet

naevis rated The SUPERIOR tret formula. After finally upping my moisture game on tret, my skin has never looked or felt better. Tret works synergistically with my other products and is the foundation of my routine.
Lansinoh Lip Balm

Lip Balm Lansinoh

The best lip moisturizer EVER. Finally a no frills, non-drying lip balm that actually hydrates. I use this morning and night. This paired with the Lip Glowy Balm = staying power hydration.
LEO Pharma Finacea 15% Gel Azelaic Acid USA

Finacea 15% Gel Azelaic Acid LEO Pharma

naevis rated This provided a marked improvement in acne and truly removes all redness and irritation. It also gently exfoliates. I love that I can combine this with Vitamin C to maximize my morning routine with as few products as possible.
Vanicream Gentle Facial Cleanser

Gentle Facial Cleanser Vanicream

Instant HG. I hate that I ever doubted it. Finally, a truly basic cleanser that removes makeup and sunscreen without stripping or causing eye/sinus infections. Finally acne free. My skin and eyes feel so normal and good after using this.
Timeless Skin Care 20% Vitamin C + E Ferulic Acid Serum

20% Vitamin C + E Ferulic Acid Serum Timeless Skin Care

I originally only got this to min/max antioxidant support, but it transformed my skin overnight. I feel like this is an essential HG and sends my skin to the next level. The other Vit C derivatives don't compare at all to the real thing.
