If you know me, you know I’m always exploring new beauty products, though I often move on before finishing a bottle. That’s why it says a lot when I actually finish one! Here are a few products I’ve used up and will definitely repurchase.

Oribe Dry Texturizing Spray: 

This texturizing spray smells incredible and gives your hair that perfect boost when styling. It’s lightweight, won’t leave your hair feeling crunchy, and adds just the right amount of volume for a bouncy, blowout-worthy look.

 

Loving Tan 2HR Express:

This tanning mousse is hands down the best. I’ve tried countless brands, and this one always comes out on top. The scent is bearable, it dries quickly, and the color is flawless. I’m constantly getting compliments and people asking where I just vacationed! But here’s the key with this brand: you have to go for the 2HR Express in Dark for the best results. I’ve tried the Medium, and even with my pale skin, I didn’t see much of a difference. So, be sure to check the bottle before you buy!

 

Unite 7Seconds Detangler:

This detangler has been one of my favorites for years—back to my college days, actually. It's so effective that you could skip conditioner altogether, leaving your hair nourished, healthy, and smelling amazing. Just spray it all over, wait 7 seconds, and comb through your hair in complete awe. I've loved this product for so long that I tried searching for cheaper alternatives, but let me tell you—this bottle is worth every penny. No frizz, just lush, silky locks. For my SoCal readers, you can find this easily at Planet Beauty. Sign up for their emails to get occasional 20% off coupons for a sweet discount!

 

Sun Bum Sunscreen Spray:

This sunscreen spray flew through my summer routine. First, it smells amazing. Second, it’s non-sticky. And third, no sunburn! I’m picky when it comes to body sunscreens because I can’t stand feeling oily or greasy, but this one was perfect. It didn’t clog my pores and delivered great results all around.

 

Dr. Lancer The Method Polish - Combination Skin

I’m not sure if you can tell, but I literally squeezed every last drop out of this bottle—it’s that good. I first discovered this exfoliator years ago after Hilary Duff raved about it, claiming she no longer needed facials because it worked so well. For starters, it has a refreshing minty scent and applies smoothly. I’m picky about exfoliators since many tend to leave a waxy residue, but this one cleans deeply and leaves my skin feeling smooth and refreshed. Highly recommend it!

 

Kerastase Genesis Shampoo:

This shampoo was recommended by my hairdresser because it’s nourishing, helps with breakage, and is perfect for color-treated hair. I absolutely love it, especially since I brought it with me to Ireland—now every time I use it, the scent takes me right back to that trip! It leaves my hair shiny, full, and lush. Definitely one of my top picks from the Kerastase line.

 

Sunday Riley Clean Rinse:

If you struggle with oily hair, this product is a game-changer. I’ll admit, the scent isn’t my favorite, and I try to avoid getting it on my fingers because of that. The key is to apply it in sections directly to your scalp, then use a scalp massager to really work it in. Let it sit for a few minutes to allow it to fully absorb before rinsing. Once you rinse, you’ll be amazed at how much buildup comes out of your hair. It’s an effective product, though on the pricier side, so I only repurchase when it’s on sale at Ulta.

 

Donna Karan Cashmere Mist Deodorant:

Let’s be real, natural deodorants just aren’t for me. While there are some solid drugstore options, I was curious to try this one after seeing countless rave reviews. And honestly, it lives up to the hype. For starters, it glides on smoothly, smells amazing, and I never have to reapply halfway through the day. It goes on dry, so you can quickly get dressed and move on with your day. It’s a solid product, and I’ve repurchased it a few times.

 

Kiehls Better Screen UV Serum:

This is truly magic in a bottle. To be honest, I was never great about wearing sunscreen on my face. With my dry/combo skin, I always started my makeup routine with a moisturizer, so the idea of layering sunscreen, moisturizer, and then makeup felt like too much. But this sunscreen is both your sun protection and moisturizer in one. It applies lightly and smoothly, has a subtle, refreshing scent, and even works as a primer. I never experienced any breakouts and made sure to use every last drop. Highly recommend!

 

Clarins Roll On Deodorant:

So, it’s official—I’ve become a fan of bougie deodorants. My mom has always been a huge fan of Clarins products and raved about this one for years, until it was unfortunately discontinued. Well, after a lot of customer demand, Clarins brought it back last year, and I can totally see why people fought so hard to bring it back. This deodorant goes on wet, which might feel a little strange at first if you're not used to it, but it dries quickly, and trust me—you’ll stay dry all day. It has a lovely, subtle scent that won’t overpower your perfume and keeps your clothes feeling fresh. I absolutely love this deodorant—worth every penny.
