Chanel Blush Horizon De Chanel
"True, I am a sucker for the classic packaging of Chanel products, but their blush is really exceptional. Just the right natural pinky-peach tone."
$58, available at Saks Fifth Avenue.
MAC Lip Pencil in Cherry
"I've been using this since I don't know when. It goes on so smooth and has the most long-lasting finish. If I know it's going to be an insane day, I always apply this in the morning and it keeps my lips bright and bold."
$14, available at MAC.
Dermalogica Total Eye Care
"For a one-step eye cream that really does it all, this is the best...I never go anywhere without it."
$42, available at Dermalogica.
Acqua Di Parma Colonia
"My all-time favorite fragrance. It's citrusy and a little masculine...I just can't get enough of it, but it's particularly good and refreshing in summer."
$83, available at Sephora.
Caudalie Lip Conditioner
"My obsession with dark lipsticks really takes its toll, and this is the only lip balm that really works to smooth out my lips and keep them hydrated."
$12, available at Caudalie.
Brad Skincare Ultra Elastin Lift
"Since my friend Eden recommended this to me, I am certifiably addicted. I've never had a facelift, but I feel like I've had one after I put this on every morning. It's literally transformative."
$210, available at Brad Skincare.
