Hey beauties! So glad you're here for part two of my 2025 favorites. It’s always a thrill to discover products that genuinely make a difference in my routine, and I’m excited to dive deeper into why these made the cut! Let's kick things off with lip products, because who doesn't love a good lip moment? My absolute go-to this year has been the Spike Valentino Lipstick. Seriously, the super silky and satiny finish is just divine, and it glides on so smoothly. I just love how it feels lightweight yet delivers such a beautiful color. For those days when my lips need a little extra love, the EADEM Lip Balms are a lifesaver. I'm especially obsessed with the unique metal applicator – it's so cooling and feels incredibly luxurious. Plus, these balms really keep my lips moisturized for a long time. If you're looking for an overnight hero, the TOCOBO Vita Glaze Lip Mask is a game-changer. I'm on my third or fourth bottle already! It’s perfect for waking up with soft, plump lips. When choosing lip products, I always look for hydrating ingredients like shea butter or hyaluronic acid to avoid dryness throughout the day. Next up, sun protection – a non-negotiable in my skincare routine! I've been loving two sunscreens this year. The Dr. Althea Green Tea Fresh Sunscreen SPF 50 is incredible, especially for its lightweight feel. It really feels like skin and the centella extract is so soothing. It's also super easy to take with you while you're traveling. For a more serum-like texture, The Ordinary Sun Serum SPF 45 has been a fantastic discovery. It just glides on like a serum and blends seamlessly, making it perfect for layering under makeup without any white cast. Finding a sunscreen that feels good and you'll actually use every day is key, so don't be afraid to try a few until you find your perfect match, whether you prefer a chemical or mineral formula. And finally, to keep everything in place, the MAKEUP FOREVER ULTRA HD LOOSE SETTING POWDER is my holy grail. This powder, especially when combined with a good setting mist, truly makes my makeup last more than 24 hours. It sets makeup beautifully without looking cakey or drying, which is a big win for me. I usually apply it with a fluffy brush for a light dusting, or a damp sponge for "baking" in areas where I want extra longevity. A good setting powder can make all the difference in preventing creasing and shine, especially on long days. I hope these deeper dives into my favorites help you discover some new gems for your own routine! Remember, everyone's skin is different, so what works for me might not work for you, but these are definitely worth trying if you're looking for high-performing products in lip care, sun protection, and makeup setting.
