If you’re like me, you love a good “what’s in my bag” reveal — the little peek into someone else’s must-haves is always fun. I thought: why not put my own twist on it? Welcome to “What’s in My Vanity”, a series where I’ll share my favorite products across skincare, makeup, fashion, perfumes, and even the shows I’ve been bingeing.
We’re kicking off with skincare, because honestly, my vanity is overflowing with products I swear by. And the best part? All the products I review are linked for you to shop directly (yes, these are affiliate links, so if you click and purchase, I may earn a small commission at no extra cost to you 💕).
So let’s dive in:
🌸 L'Occitane Almond Shower Oil
This feels like a spa day in a bottle. It transforms into a silky foam that leaves my skin soft and subtly scented. Perfect if you want hydration without heaviness.
🦶 Suladec Moisturizing Foot Mask with Shea Butter & Goat Milk
Your feet deserve love too! These little booties are packed with rich shea butter and goat milk. I slip them on during self-care Sundays, and afterward, my feet feel baby-soft.
💋 Summer Fridays Tinted Lip Balm
Moisture + tint = the perfect combo. This balm is lightweight but gives enough color to look polished on no-makeup days.
🧼 Kojie San Skin Brightening Soap
A cult favorite for a reason! It helps even skin tone and brighten dull areas. I use it sparingly (a few times a week) because it’s powerful, but it leaves my skin looking fresh and renewed.
🌙 Bio Dance Bio-Collagen Overnight Face Mask
Talk about beauty sleep! This overnight mask locks in hydration and helps my skin look plump in the morning. Lightweight, non-sticky, and glow-inducing.
🐌 COSRX Snail Mucin 92% Face Moisturizer
Snail mucin sounds intense, but it’s amazing. This moisturizer repairs and hydrates like nothing else. My skin feels soothed and bouncy, especially when I’ve overdone it with actives.
✋ L'Occitane Nourishing & Intense Hand Balm
My holy grail hand cream. Super nourishing, absorbs quickly, and smells divine. It saves my hands during dry winter months.
🍊 SeoulCeuticals 20% Vitamin C Serum
Bright, tight, and right. This serum evens skin tone, boosts radiance, and layers beautifully under sunscreen.
🌞 Anua Heartleaf Silky Moisturizing Mild Sunscreen (SPF 50+)
Lightweight, moisturizing, no white cast — everything I want in sunscreen. It’s now my everyday go-to, and it layers well under makeup.
🫧 Anua Heartleaf Pore Control Cleansing Oil
A must for double cleansing! This melts away makeup and sunscreen without stripping the skin. Gentle but effective.
🧴 Anua Heartleaf Cleansing Foam Face Wash
The perfect follow-up after cleansing oil. It’s soft, refreshing, and cleans without leaving my skin tight or dry.
💧 Anua Niacinamide Serum
A quiet powerhouse! Niacinamide helps minimize pores, balance oil, and improve overall skin tone. A daily staple for me.
✨ AXIS-Y Dark Spot Correcting Glow Serum (5% Niacinamide)
This serum is a skin-saver for dark spots and uneven tone. With 5% niacinamide, it works gently but effectively to fade discoloration while keeping skin calm and hydrated. Unlike some spot treatments that can feel harsh or drying, this one has a lightweight, almost gel-like texture that absorbs quickly and layers beautifully with the rest of my routine.
What I love most is that it doesn’t just target dark spots — it gives an all-over radiant, healthy glow. After consistent use, my skin looked smoother, brighter, and more balanced. Bonus: it’s vegan, cruelty-free, and suitable for all skin types (including sensitive).
Final Thoughts 💕
So that’s what’s currently in my vanity! From luxurious shower oils to powerhouse serums, each of these products has earned its spot on my shelf.
I’ll be doing more “What’s in My Vanity” blogs covering makeup, perfumes, fashion, and even the TV shows I’m obsessed with — so stay tuned.
