The Best Beauty Product I’ve Tried All Year
This past summer, my bff Gemma broke my heart and moved to London, but the good news is, we still text all the time. “Darling,” she wrote one morning. “You need to get this glow serum.”
Since I’m always hungry for her beauty recommendations, I was immediately sold, but she still explained why: “This serum genuinely makes you look lit from within — it’s glowy but not shiny. It also gets along with all other products, like, it can go over SPF, under concealer or foundation, or by itself. You just smush on a few drops with your fingertips. It never pills. It’s not shiny. It’s not drying. It’s a hard worker, and I respect that.”
A couple days later, the serum was in my hot little hands, and I can attest: the stuff really works. Multiple people recently have told me that I am glowing, which is so nice, and maybe that’s because fall is my favorite season, or because I moved the boys’ bedtime a half hour earlier, or because I’m in a romance that’s growing deeper, but I think most of all it’s this guy.
What skincare or makeup do you swear by? I always love to hear…
