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. However, 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.
RetrouvÉ
Revitalizing Eye Concentrate
Unlike other eye creams that have a more lotion-y feel, this formula is more like a balm, 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
Star Flower Niacinamide Serum
Saint Jane is another one of my top, go-to brands, and I’d recommend any of their 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!
Olaplex
No. 9 Bond Protector Nourishing Serum
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!
The Outset
Hydrasheer 100% Mineral Sunscreen Spf 30
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, lol.
Monika Blunder
Kissen Lush Lipstick Crayon
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.
Jenny Patinkin
Spray Away Instant Makeup Brush Cleanser
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
Wild Star Pressed Pigment Palette
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!
Lawless
Forget the Filler Lip Plumper Line Gloss
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, hydrated, and even visible reduces lip folds.
Goop
Cloudberry Exfoliating Jelly Cleanser
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.
Stila
One Step Correcting & Brightening Primer
A true game-changer, this primer from Stila evens out my skin tone and preps my face for makeup so my foundation goes on smooth and stays in place all day. I love the color-correcting effect to help tone down my redness.
Ceremonia
Oil Mist With Aloe Vera
Ceremonia is 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.
Ouai
Body Creme St. Barts
I’m ALL about that luxe body care, 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 multi-tasking, 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, and the color delivery is perfect.
111Skin
Y Theorem Bio Cellulose Facial Mask Box
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 skin looking plump and brighter.
