My 2022 Beauty Must-Haves

As the end of 2022 approaches, it’s time to reflect back on the highs, the lows, the yesses, noes and the absolute MUST-haves! 

This year has been a big experimental one for me- I’ve been abroad for 4 months and have had to do a lot of self discovery, especially when it comes to my beauty products and routine. 

Although it has taken a while, I have found my top 5 absolutely-cannot-live-without, must-have beauty items. Good news is: there’s still time for you to add them to your Christmas lists! 

1: Drunk Elephant D-Bronzi Anti-Pollution Bronzing Drops. Looking for the perfect bronzy glow in the winter months when the UV Index and weather aren’t cutting it? Look no further! Add a few of these glowy bronzing drops to your moisturizer and get the perfect dewy, bronzed look without the hassle of self- tan and applying a highlighter. Wear it on its own, or as a prep to your makeup routine, and watch as your skin transforms! 

2: Laneige Lip Sleeping Mask: In the winter months, especially with travel, my lips have become almost unbearably chapped and dry, until I started using this lip mask. Perfect for any and all skin types (yes, even sensitive skin), this lip mask serves as the perfect lip balm or gloss for any occasion. It’s available in countless different flavors and has a slight tint, so it deeply moisturizes while simultaneously perfecting any look. 

3: Kerastase Blond Absolu Shampoo & Conditioner: Being so blonde, it’s a never-ending struggle trying to find products that help to nourish my hair, while making it look and smell good. I have shopped countless hair care brands, and none compare to Kerastase. No matter your hair type, thickness, or color, there is a line for you. Blondies in particular, try it out and watch your hair transform into the smoothest, shiniest, and best-smelling hair you’ve ever had! 

4: T3 Luxe Care Hairdryer: This “Allure Best of Beauty Winner”, although pricey, is totally worth it! Whether looking to quickly dry your hair, get the perfect blowout, or blow your hair out straight, there is absolutely no beating this hairdryer! I try to be super conscious of the heat I put on my hair and have found that this is the perfect solution. I’m left with perfect results every single time! 

5: Maison Margiela REPLICA “Bubble Bath” Perfume: There truly is no better compliment than, “Oh my gosh, you smell so good, what are you wearing?” For me, the answer is always REPLICA’s “Bubble Bath.” This scent really is perfect for anyone, and you can never go wrong with such a clean and refreshing scent!

As the year comes to a close, it’s a no-brainer that these products are at the very top of my absolute must-haves. Tried and true, add them to your list and thank me later <3 

XOXO,
