Beauty Finishing Touches

As a beauty editor, one of the toughest challenges I'm faced with is having to edit my expansive collection of skin, hair, and makeup essentials to make room for new additions. My work requires me to test new products nonstop, and sometimes that means that my beauty cabinet is seconds from bursting its hinges. I like to give my collection a quarterly edit; taking note of the must-haves that outperform all others (sometimes making the products I once swore upon every day practically obsolete).

In that vein, I've taken a look at the 20 beauty finds I've incorporated into my admittedly lengthy beauty routine for an extra touch of luxury and compiled them into a shoppable edit complete with glowing customer reviews. By the time you're finished reading this, you may end up giving the contents of your vanity a second look.
