My TOP 25 favorite products from
THE DETOX MARKET:
MAKEUP
ERE PEREZ | Coco Crayon
I loved this so much that I posted a crazy pic of me the day I got it :D. I have this in the shade Brave, and it’s reminiscent of that good old 90’s brown that so many of us love. Perfect for the fall! Use as a lip liner only, or fill in the lip (I like to do that, then dab and soften and top with gloss). Also great on the cheeks, this was a one-and-done product for me this summer!
ERE PEREZ | Jojoba Eye Pencil
Closest clean dupe for my old favorite liner (Urban Decay). Stone and Bronze are my go-tos, both so pretty (Stone is a chameleon color…really unique!). Earth is also a great staple. I’m about to grab Gold and Forrest!
FITGLOW BEAUTY | Lip Colour Serum
There’s a reason these lip glosses are so beloved. They are just so comfy on. Beautiful colors, packed full of goodness for your lips, and no stickiness (I actually wish they had a bit more sticky so they’d last a tad longer). Love the scent, too! I’m a big fan of Buff, Root and Gospel. About to grab Coco (yes, I love me a brown lippie…)!
FITGLOW BEAUTY | Correct + Peach
If you’re hunting for a replacement for YSL Touche Eclat, this is it. On days I’ve got sleep-deprived and/or allergy-related dark circles, a tiny tiny tiny bit of this before my concealer works WONDERS. As my skin has changed through menopause, I’ve found that just using this on my dark circles, without any other concealer, has been the way to go: no crinkling.
HENNE ORGANICS | Luxury Lip Tint
I came across this fantastic clean tinted lip balm when I was hunting for a clean dupe for Black Honey (my teenager joined the TikTok Black Honey madness this past winter). I fell in love with these Lip Tints, such a terrific moisturizing tinted lip balm with great color payoff, and the shade Muse is pretty dang close to Black Honey…BH is slightly browner, but not by much. Gorgeous!
KOSAS | Air Brow Tinted Volumizing Treatment Gel
They call this a ‘Volumizing Treatment Gel’, but it’s definitely got more of a mousse-y texture to it. Full of goodies such as Castor Oil and Panthenol Provitamin B5 to help with growth, but also has Biodegradable Plant-Based Microfibers to help fill in those sparse areas and even everything out. Love everything about this. Color is fab (I used to use Soft Brown but have switched to Taupe as my hair is a bit more highlighted these days), stays on all day, easy to apply and looks natural. AND one tube lasts forever. I’ve not found anything I love for brows as much as this…believe the hype.
KOSAS | Wet Stick Moisture Lip Shine
Wet Sticks are THE perfect gloss-balm-lipstick hybrid: comfy, moisturizing, just the right amount of shine AND great color payoff. This squalane and cermides-packed lippie makes my lips look and feel great…so much so that the shade 100 Degrees became my constant go-to this summer, and for the first time in YEARS I’ve almost finished a tube of lippie! Sunset Simmer is also gorgeous, and a great shade for Fall. I’ll definitely be getting a new tube of 100 Degrees and grabbing another shade to try (Tropic Bliss is talking to me…).
RMS BEAUTY | Nude Legendary Serum Lipstick
This first-of-its-kind lipstick and serum hybrid has been the only lippie I’ve been reaching for this past month! And this range of shades are my JAM. Super lightweight but saturated with color, so easy to swipe on and go (but also great with your fave neutral lip liner). Feels smoothing and somehow cooling on (but no peppermint/menthol). Jayne is FINALLY the perfect nude for me that doesn’t need a liner to adjust the shade, and Mae is a glorious rosewood. SNAG THESE UP!!!
RMS BEAUTY | Eyelights Cream Eyeshadow
I could just kiss RMS! I was so sad when I had to break up with Ilia’s cream shadow as it caused an allergic reaction #stupidsensitiveskin. Eyelights *might* even apply a little easier as it doesn’t dry down quite as fast. The colors are gorgeous (I have Blaze, Strobe and Halo and love them all equally). Fantastic for a one-and-done eye.
RMS BEAUTY | Liplights Cream Lip Gloss
Packed with soothing botanical butters and lip-plumping peptides, this hybrid lippe is the goodies. It has the FEEL of a lip balm, and is definitely not a sticky, super-shiny gloss…more like a high shine lipstick. Colors are vivid, so don’t think tinted lip balm, no no; you can make the color as opaque (or not) as you’d like. And speaking of color, the shade Rumor is the shade I’ve been hunting for and I’m THRILLED. They describe it as a dusty mauve, but I’d call it the perfect brownish mauve, and I’ve been trying to achieve this color with mixes of lippies and lip liners to no avail. It’s become a go-to lippie!!! You can see my full review here, where I snuck it into my best clean lip balms as the Best Clean Balm/Lipstick Hybrid.
RITUEL DE FILLE | Ash + Ember Eye Soot in Half Light
This is a fairly recent discovery for me, and while it took me a minute to master the best way to use it, I find myself reaching for it almost daily. It’s somewhere between a powder and a cream, and I find just lightly swirling my crease brush in it and gently brushing on is the best way to apply (I use it primarily as a way to create shadow just above my crease on my hood to make my eyes appear bigger). Unless I’m going more dramatic and applying on the lid, then I use my finger and dab on. No trouble with creasing, and the bit of moisture does my aging eyelids good…gives a much smoother, less drying effect than a powder, without being shiny. Half Light is a GORGEOUS warm taupe.
SKIN
CV SKINLABS | Calming Moisture
This is one moisturizer I think everyone should have in their arsenal. This is a light-feeling lotion, but boy does it hydrate. It also soothes irritated skin and calms redness. Fragrance-free and safe for the most sensitive of skin. It’s been a lifesaver for times when I couldn’t use anything else, and has also been great on my teenagers’ skin when dealing with irritated acne flare-ups…hydrated without causing more acne. One I won’t be without!
FITGLOW BEAUTY | Night Lip Serum
I’ve been through MANY tubes of this now, it’s just that effective. I’ve seen the lines that are trying to form around my lips fade away, and the pucker still feels moisturized in the morning. This one I have come to love so much that I gift it, as it’s definitely a splurge for most folks (though I only use it once a day, before bed, so one tube lasts quite a while!). Stock up during the sale!!
KOSAS | DreamBeam Comfy Smooth Sunscreen Broad Spectrum SPF 40
This has taken over as my top everyday SPF pick! Feels great on, plays nicely with my other products, and I LOVE that it’s got a bit higher SPF than your typical daily sunscreens. Don’t let the ‘tint’ fool you…the slight beige-y/apricot hue just takes away the issue of whitecast, but doesn’t provide any sort of coverage (peep my reel on IG). DreamBeam is moisturizing, but needs a bit more moisture beneath during the Winter when my skin is super dry. Perfection in warmer weather when my skin is more combo. And you know I’m not much for super glowy, and while this says it has a subtle radiant finish, I’d say it’s more of a satin finish on me. Which means it’s PERFECT. Well done, Kosas!!! Added to the top of my Best Clean Sunscreens for Sensitive Skin.
MARIE VERONIQUE | Pre + Probiotic Daily Mist
I was not a believer in toners/mists until I tried this. This is truly the one item I have to use whenever it looks like I may be starting a perioral dermatitis episode again (Marie Veronique’s line in general saved my skin after trying so, so many ‘remedies’…I wrote about my experience here if you’re interested! Another one of the best skincare lines for sensitive skin). Much easier than a greek yogurt mask, and just as effective if not more so. Won’t be without it.
MAYA CHIA | The Eye Achiever Multi-Correction Eye Serum
I cheat on this and always come back. Hydrating but fast-absorbing, lessens those fine lines with no irritation…just totally reliable.
MAYA CHIA | The Straight A
Ride-or-die, the best plant-based retinol available. Doesn’t irritate my super-sensitive skin. Stock up!!
MAYA CHIA | The Super Lift Vitamin C-More
Everyone needs a vitamin C serum in their routine, and I’ve finally found one that doesn’t freak my skin out! This really does have a lovely, immediate firming effect on the skin, and my skin definitely has gotten brighter and smoother. And the smell…it’s like walking through an orange grove. One of my top clean beauty loves of 2021, and still in regular rotation!
MAYA CHIA | The Advance Response Complex
Miracle worker. I almost didn’t try this because my skin was so reactive the winter it was launched, but I’d been hunting for something that’s great for the neck area, and the initial reviews were so fantastic. I have great luck with this line and couldn’t pass up a good deal, so I jumped in. So freaking glad I did!! I’ve tried too many anti-aging creams in the past decade, and this one right here is truly the only one I’ve used that has visible results. Not only did my irritations go away, my skins just looks…younger. And it’s definitely firmed up my neck, whoopheeeeee!!! I wish I could afford to slather it over my entire body. Believe the hype, this one is a hero product! It’s also a bit spendy…so I await sales like these ;). Love that they offer a refill option now!
PAI SKINCARE | PHAZE Rebalance Cleanser
For several years I was only willing to use a cleansing oil because I was so afraid of my skin getting dried out and irritated, bringing on a new bout of perioral dermatitis. But after seeing a few reviews for this cleanser, I grabbed a travel size and gave it a go. And I’m so happy I did! In the warmer months I alternate this with the cleansing oil every other night (winter I used 1-2 times per week). Gets every speck of dirt, makeup and sunscreen off, but leaves skin feeling fresh and clean without being tight or dry. Definitely sensitive-skin friendly! Particularly glad to have this in the summer for beach/pool days when I’ve got a heavy sunscreen on. Well done, Pai!
BODY
KOSAS | Good Body Skin AHA + Enzyme Exfoliating Body Wash
As I’ve gotten older the texture of my skin can get a bit lizardy if I don’t stay on top of it, you know what I’m sayin’? And while I like a good sugar scrub, the idea of an AHA exfoliant for the bod seemed like something that could be helpful. And it is! I love the Juicy Clean scent, but I know I’d love the Beach Clean too (I use it in their deodorant).
KOSAS | Chemistry AHA Serum Deodorant
After reacting to a few other clean deodorants (my pits don’t love baking soda and coconut oil), I was on the hunt AGAIN. Enter the magickery that is this deodorant serum from Kosas!!! I initially got the unscented to be safe and not irritate my skin further, and honestly I figured it would be money down the drain as surely I needed some sort of fragrance to mask the bad stuff, right?! But lo and behold, Kosas is not kidding about the AHA keeping PH balanced and unstinky, AND I feel like my skin just looks brighter. I’m super impressed, and it even holds up in the SUMMER.
OSEA | Undaria Algae Oil
One of my favorite body oils, sinks in and seals in the moisture after a shower, particularly love this in the warmer months. Smells so good! Definitely a great item to stock up on during a sale.
HAIR
INNERSENSE | I Create Volume
I’m so glad my stylist turned me on to this. I’d previously passed it by as ‘lotions’ typically weigh my curls down, but this is actually a lightweight liquid gel! I couldn’t get the I Create Hold gel to work for me, but this stuff is fantastic. When The Detox Market has it on sale, I stock up on multiple bottles!
INNERSENSE | Inner Peace Whipped Creme Texturizer
Again thankful for my stylist. I’d bought this a while back but just couldn’t get it to work in my routine. She showed me that it works beautifully for SOTC (scrunch out the crunch)! Plus gives some volume. Just a weeee bit is needed, so tub will last forever!
