My bathroom counter is typically filled with products—a little indulgence, a little necessity, and plenty of trial and error. I’ve always believed a well-curated vanity should feel like a personal apothecary, filled with products that truly earn their place. With my job, I get to try a lot of incredible formulas, and since I’m deep in my skincare era, I’ve landed on a handful that are genuinely worth the price.
During the driest stretch of winter, that means the serums and oils I swear by, my Nēmah staples, and the Necessaire lip balm I reach for daily. Lately, I’ve also been collecting marble trays and containers for display—these jade onyx finds from Amazon look far more expensive than they actually are.
Consider this your cheat sheet to my vanity—the products that make the cut and why they deserve a spot on your top shelf.
