For today’s post, Laura and I thought it would be fun to do a blog post focused on our beauty favorites. We tried to pick a variety of categories, but if there are any other products that you’re curious about be sure and ask in the comments! We’d also love to hear what your favorites are!

Tanya & Laura’s Beauty Favorites
Skincare Line

Tanya & Laura: Revision Skincare
The quality of Revision Skincare products is on another level. We love that they have a variety of skincare products, all which work so well for both our ages! You can read more about their products in detail HERE.
_____
Cleansing Balm
Tanya: Elemis Cleansing Balm
This is the OG of cleansing balms and the scent is out of this world! While I like numerous brands, I keep coming back to this one. I have the travel size for trips. Since you can use it to remover eye make-up, it helps me pack less products.
Laura: Colleen Rothschild Radiant Cleansing Balm
I also love the Elemis Cleansing Balm, but picked Colleen Rothschild’s because it is a bit thicker, making it easier for me to take off makeup.
_____
Perfume
Tanya: Chanel Allure
I’ve been wearing this beautiful perfume for over 30 years. I always get compliments on it. It’s just “me”.
Laura: Ellis Brooklyn Florist
I prefer floral scented perfumes, so I love this one. It’s also great because it’s made from all natural, clean ingredients. I actually bought it for the first time when Tanya and I were in Palm Beach and had to buy it in the larger size!
_____
Haircare

Tanya: dpHue Color Fresh Oil Therapy
I have dry, coarse hair and really need to add oil daily. Justin Anderson, the Creative Director and Co-Founder of dpHUE did my highlights once in L.A. and introduced me to adding oil therapy to my hair daily. I’ve been hooked ever since.
Laura: Colleen Rothschild Quench & Shine Restorative Mask
This is the best hair mask ever (and I’ve tried other brands)! It really moisturizes your hair, plus it has a nice, fresh scent.
_____
Hair Styling Tools
Tanya: Dyson Supersonic Hair Dryer & T3 Airbrush Duo
Yes, I know the Dyson hair dryer is pricey but it’s worth every penny! It cuts down the time to dry my hair by half. I then finish it out with the T3 Airbrush duo to round out my end and smooth my hair. I also love their curling irons and flat iron. I don’t like to use a curling wand. Call me old school.
Laura: Infiniti Pro by Conair 3-in-1 Styler and Ceramic Curling Wand
I have used a version of this hair dryer since 8th grade, so it’s clearly a lifetime favorite. It comes with 3 different attachments, but I personally only use the brush attachment. It’s like blow drying while simultaneously brushing your hair, but much easier. As for my curling wand, I will be completely honest and say that originally I just ordered the cheapest one with good ratings from Amazon so I could see if I liked using a wand. And I love it! It’s under $30 and has lasted for over five years. Plus, it creates a great curl that lasts!
_____
Facial Moisturizer
Tanya: DEJ by Revision Skincare
While I like to always try new products, I always reset myself to Revision Skincare. The DEJ moisturizer keeps my dry skin in check. Lately, I have been starting with Plated Intense and then adding other products on top. Also, I am starting to really invest in great facials and try to get one every 2 months or so. The Toska Spa recently opened in Dallas and is worth every penny.
Laura: Kiehl’s Ultra Facial Cream
This is my go-to moisturizer. It noticeably nourishes your skin and reduces any lines. Plus it is so lightweight! I alternate it with Colleen Rothschild’s Sheer Renewal Cream. It’s a great daytime moisturizer. For the winter months, I love Colleen Rothschild’s Extreme Recovery Cream.
_____
Mascara
Tanya: Lash Idole Mascara
I have at least 5 mascaras in my makeup drawer at all times. But I keep coming back to this one. But I do use the Revitalash products to grow my lashes and brows. They also make a great primer and mascara duo.
Laura: Tartelette Tubing Mascara
This mascara is great because it doesn’t flake off or clump like most mascaras, plus it makes your lashes look so long and full!
_____
Body Lotion

Tanya & Laura: Necessaire The Body Lotion
We both agree on this one! It is a thicker moisturizer, yet it absorbs quickly and leaves your skin hydrated and refreshed. We also love that it is fragrance free! Read more about it HERE.
_____
Face Mask
Tanya: 111 Celestial Black Diamond face mask
OMG! This mask is transformative! They come 5 to a packet and I savor each one of them!
Laura: Kiehl’s Rare Earth Deep Pore Minimizing Cleansing Clay Mask
I use this cleansing mask once or twice a week! I love how it is a clay material and you can feel it working. Plus, my skin is always so soft afterwards.
_____
Lip Mask
Tanya: Laneige Lip Sleeping Mask
This product was actually a recommendation of one of my blog subscribers (Carol E.). Apply it every night before bed and you will never have dry lips again! I will say that the Revision Youthful Lip Replenisher is in my purse and make-up drawer for use during the day.
Laura: Kiehl’s Buttermask Intense Repair Lip Treatment
This is the only lip mask that my lips become noticeably more moisturized after using. It’s especially a must-have during the winter months.
____
Nails
Tanya: OPI Let’s Be Friends
While I get my manicures and pedicures at Sophia’s Nail Spa on Lovers Lane, I always opt for OPI color. Most of the time you will see me wearing OPI Let’s Be Friends.I do love OPI Pink in Bio too.
Laura: Essie & OPI Nail Polish
I love both Essie and OPI nail polish and alternate colors depending on the season.

Someday I hope you do a Dyson giveaway! Here’s hoping:)
Great recap and love Elemis cleansing balm too! The smell always reminds me of a spa and relaxes me!
Thanks for all the great suggestions! Will be trying some of your favorites!
Do you still recommend those rollers for your face, Tanya? I’ve never had one, but see people using them on reality shows and wonder if I’m missing out! If so, which one do you like?
Dear Tanya,
Just tried the Necessaire Body Lotion and Deodorant. Couldn’t agree more! Fresh smelling!
