As we welcome the New Year, I hope everyone had a wonderful holiday season! It’s been a while since I last shared on the blog, and that’s because this past year has been filled with significant changes and transitions for me. In the spring, my husband Andrew and I finally made the move to our dream city, Miami Beach, and it truly feels like home to us. This has been one of the best decisions we’ve made, and we couldn’t be happier.
I’m hoping to get back into blogging this year. While my focus shifted to Instagram for social media content, many of you have expressed your interest in more detailed reviews on the blog. I’m looking forward to focusing more on what I love most, which is sharing content on this platform.
Today, I want to share with you some of my favorite beauty products from 2025. These are the tried and true items that I know will continue to be staples for me in the coming year.
Base Makeup Favorites
While there are always new foundation and concealer launches every year, my favorites in 2025 were the ones I’ve been using for a long time.
Dior Forever Skin Perfect Foundation Stick was my go-to foundation this year. I love everything about it, from the coverage to the finish and lasting power.
Armani Luminous Silk Foundation is another favorite of mine. The reformulated version is just as good as the original, and I’ve been loving the shade 6.5.
