The 44 MUST-HAVE BEAUTY PRODUCTS of 2022: the GEMS I swear by!!

[@jillianwilber237]

Holo Taco Tip!! She still keeps the skinny brush in certain things but you can purchase the wide, flat brushes in a 5 pack so you can have your preferred brush!! 😍

[@prettynsleepy1073]

Omg yes. I always buy the wide brushes anytime I purchase. They are perfection. HoloTaco is the only nail polish I use. Also the Super GlossyTaco is perfection too

[@laramitchell4141]

The skinny brushes are basically most of the polishes but you can buy the wide ones separately. Wide ones are now on all the cream polishes.

Holo Taco is so worth the hype. Best polish I’ve used. Cristine is also a good follow.

5:06 SHIEDO arch liner: YESSSSS GUUURL! This one is amazing! You can see everything you do so much better since the angle make it so that the pen dosen’t block your sight and give you that typical blindspots! It also works great over powder such as eyeshadows and even glitter. And everything you said too: dosen’t skip and sticks on all day! Fantastic! A most have for people who does eyeliner often!!

[@sherryr1222]

Love you as always. As someone with naturally wavy hair (you van finger curl into ringlets or blow dry straight….as long as it’s not raining then…hello frizz bomb) the only brush that gets near my hair since I turned 35 is a pick comb. Easy to wash and more than a decade later my hair is in better shape than someone my age has a right to expect. Your flow through brush is a good idea for those who still need to brush.

[@whitajeman]

Love all these favs but I was especially excited to see you mention Lights Laquer! Between my sisters and I, we own nearly every shade. Best polish for fast drying application that still lasts!

My SO has OCD and his hands crack and bleed from how often he washes his hands. We also go through A LOT of soap because of it. I replaced all of our traditional hand soap with Dove bodywash and it has helped a lot. We got touchless soap dispensers and I just refill them with the Dove. Something to consider, as I'm pretty sure CeraVe costs nearly twice as much as Dove.

[@lacytaylor1501]

Ah thank you, my stepdad washes his hands like crazy mainly due to being a germaphobe and his work place and recently his hands have massive bleeding cracks in them like someone or something sliced into them so I was hoping to find something to help. Only problem is he's one of those who hates certain smells and nothing too ' feminine ' so hopefully I can find a dove scent he'll use

[@sosrsbrittany]

@@lacytaylor1501 dove makes scent free! Also a lot of their basic line just kinda smells like generic lotion. Not sweet. It's like that dull cocoa buttery smell, if that makes sense.

I love the CT Flawless filter too but even better is the Auric Beauty (Samantha Ravndahls brand) Glow Lust, and you will prob literally not run out, lol. The eyeshadow duos are amazing too. Def not cheap but there’s a reason for the price point- ingredients, sustainability, etc. Def rec!!

[@mommashawna707]

Also I have swore by the Shiseido eyelash curler for many years, on a whim I ordered a Japonesque Midnight eyelash curler and HOLY COWS is it good. Dare I say better than the Shiseido one. Trust and believe I am a mascara ho, I can’t get enough and this is on another level you NEED to try it. Zitsticka! I love all of their products but their mask is phenomenal, if you are having a break out everywhere all of a sudden during your period or what not it is a lifesaver, within hours they are all well behaved. Also Differen, I’m sure everyone has seen the commercials lately but that stuff is fantastic. It doesn’t seem to dry my skin out but it takes charge of those pimples like no other. Well worth a try and I have hormonal acne by the way.

[@karennicholson4167]

My number 1 this year has been the Tarte Tarlette tubing mascara. It is fantastic because most tubing mascaras (think Thrive) make my eyelashes spiky and you can't build it up. This makes my lashes feathery and full, and builds up nicely.

Ooooh I may have to check this out. Right now I’m using a lash primer and then Thrive mascara.

Speaking of your only eyelash curler!! Have you tried the heated wand you use AFTER mascara to curl? It's the only thing that works for me!

[@SmoakArrow]

It’s so nice to see people talking about Tatcha. Yes, it’s a luxury brand and pricy, but my skin loved it. I got so many compliments on my skin when I did. It’s been a bit since I allowed myself to reorder, but I actually just did it it. Yesterday. I wish I’d seen you code first (LOL!!!!) because 20% off would have been awesome. I’m excited to get my shipment so I can start prioritizing my skincare again. I ordered the rice wash, too, along with my normal camellia cleansing oil. Excited to try it!

Going through the same hair loss situation since December 21 😥 mine is a greasy mess right after the shower too so no oils for me. Looking forward to hearing your recommendations!!

[@violetviolet888]

Caitlin S, see Glam Girl Gabi (professional hair stylist) and Dr Dray (board certified dermatologist) videos on hair loss.

[@zeemie12]

Ty Alline tablets..3/6 months❤️

[@misssunnydee]

Caitlin, not sure if you have telogen effluvium (hairloss allover your head) or loss on specific spots, but hairloss can be caused by so many different things that I would seriously recommend you to visit your family doctor first. Do not start doctoring yourself or use special shampoos/ oils before you know the why. If you, for example, start taking vitamins and you happen to have systemic problems with vitamin intake the bloodwork won't show that since you've masked the issue. Or you do something that might temporarily help and then you won't be taken seriously anymore. Hairloss sucks a** (I've already lost almost 70% of my hair, though luckily a medical trial medication has made sure the loss has slowed down tremendously now and even grew in bald spots). Anyway, please go to your family doctor/GP or - if you have direct access to a dermatologist with a trichology specialisation in your country, see a specialist. Low iron, autoimmune disease causing B12 malabsorption, improper diet (resulting in low vitamin intake), stress, hormonal issues to true hormonal afflictions (like Alopecia Androgenetica), thyroid problems etc etc can all cause hairloss. You need to know if it is a symptom or standing on its own. I hope you find the cause and it is easy to solve.

[@emilybradley1058]

I love how relatable you are! Please keep being awesome!!!!

As someone who also had significant hair loss post COVID I’m excited to try out some of the hair products! My hair has never been healthier since it fell out. It will take time for the hair to be back to normal but don’t give up hope! Cannot wait to try out the Amika overnight mask!

[@bethc.3835]

So I had a lot of hair loss about 6 months after covid too, and while I've had so much regrowth, the texture is different. My new strands are lightweight and crinkly! I found some info online about "bubble hair," and I plan on asking a dermatologist about it! And the flyaways from the regrowth are soooo bad, but that's what beanies are for 😅

As someone with psoriasis on the scalp I also use the massager in the shower. Of course I hold off from washing my hair as long as possible so I’m not stripping the oils but also not waiting too long where my scalp it’s uncomfortable to touch. I get my shampoo from function of beauty and depending on the time of year or how my hair is doing I will change up the formula accordingly. The Amicka soul food hair mask has been a game changer, and I use it with my conditioner every time I condition my hair. I tried to use as a little heat as possible and when I want straight hair, I use a straight brush instead of a flat iron.

[@elysenicole417]

I have been using Peter Thomas Roth Water Drench Hyaluronic Cloud Cream Moisturizer. Works wonders for drier skin. There are also eye patches that have the same moisturizing formula on it. 🤯 blew my mind with how great it works.

[@seandrayoung3524]

Try the avashine lip mask from amazonn! I had EXTREME DRY PAINFUL lips from over filling and that and lanolin are the only things that helped! I tried sooo many different products too

[@katrinarhodes6999]

I had the same thing happen to my hair a couple months after I had Covid. I lost so much hair for about a month. I was cleaning the shower drain more then weekly. For reference 3 of us share a shower and I usually clean the hair every 2-3 months. Thankfully it seems most of the hair I lost is grown my back! Now I use hairspray daily to tame all the little hair. Lol from 1 struggle to another.

[@plainsimplefaith]

Rachel you should try putting some mustard oil or almond oil inside your naval, hydrates from the inside and works every time for me when I have chapped lips that won't go away! Here in India we also apply purified butter/ghee directly on the lips for intense hydration.

[@kellysutton1210]

I was actually blow drying my hair with the same WET brush as I watched this video. 😊

Hey Rachel if you're having problems with your hands cracking in winter and are looking for a good hand cream I'd recommend "Bloody Knuckles" from Duke Cannon Supply Co. It's a bit of an odd texture at first but it works well and doesn't feel greasy or anything.

[@roseybennett6839]

Omg Rachh if u like the Charlotte Tillbury Hollywood Flawless Filter … Have u tried / compared it to the Elf Halo Glow Booster yet !?!? I love high end makeup however I was raised by a coupon queen extraordinaire so I neeeddd to get the best value !! Lol And I genuinely love the Elf one more !! It’s better !! I prefer it because I love the fact that it has more coverage than CT one, it has a huge doe foot applicator unlike CT one and a small things sure but I love it ! Feels way more appropriate being that u use it for face and not under eyes not to mention the biggest difference … that Elf is $14 and CT is $44 … that’s a $30 difference for a product that I find I like way more anyway!!!!

I was gifted a la Mer set for my wedding and I really like the moisturizer! I use the “sun fluid” on top of it to protect from sun. It’s very pricey though. You may have already tried it, I’m not sure. Also I got the watermelon glow pink juice and I really like that for before bed and my neck during the day. I’ve been on accutane for half the year so my skin has legit never been so dry in my life, and these two products have made it bearable!
