Omorovicza Thermal Cleansing Balm: Removing dirt with dirt does seem counterintuitive. Get past the fact that this Hungarian mud cleanser looks like charcoal grease and I swear, it leaves skin makeup-free and unbelievably soft. $102, bergdorfgoodman.com Suki Exfoliate Foaming Cleanser: This lemony sugar scrub, which magically foams with water, has amazing gentle exfoliating abilities. And it smells good enough to eat (it's vegan and organic, so you probably could). $29.95, sukipure.com
Bobbi Brown Mahogany Eye Shadow: A lot of brown shadows are pretty in the package but dull on the eyes. This one is rich and deeply pigmented. I use it almost every day on my upper and lower lids, and even my brows. I just replaced one I had for at least three years (way past its expiration date, I know, but it still performed perfectly). $20, bergdorfgoodman.com Giorgio Armani Luminous Silk Foundation: Most days I just use tinted moisturizer and concealer. But for special occasions, I turn to this foundation for coverage without cakiness. It's also a favorite of the adorable and talented makeup artist Renato Almeida. $58, nordstrom.com
Sjal Mineral Kalla Energy Tonic: I mist this toner directly on my face after cleansing. I can't pinpoint
exactly what effect it's had on my skin but I can say that the act of
using it is absolutely delightful. Every time I attempt to move this
out of my bathroom cabinet to make room for something new—it's part of
the job after all—I can't bring myself to do it. $70, shopsjalskincare.comArt of Shaving Shaving Cream: Men get fancy razors, brushes and steam shaves. At least we have this—creamy, rich and scented with just enough rose absolute to keep product stealing husbands away. $30, theartofshaving.com
