On My Vanity: BELLA Intern Edition
What better way to celebrate beauty than to sit our interns down and ask them about their go-to beauty products? We asked each of our BELLA girls what their can’t-live-without product is in their makeup or skincare routines. They each shared the product that never fails them and is always sitting on their vanity.

Summer Fridays ShapeDrops Broad Spectrum SPF 30 Mineral Milk Sunscreen
My absolute must-have for my morning skincare routine is the Summer Fridays ShadeDrops Broad Spectrum SPF 30 Mineral Milk Sunscreen. Sunscreen holds the utmost importance in my skincare regimen, as it effectively safeguards my skin from sun damage, skin cancer, and premature aging. I particularly favor the Summer Fridays sunscreen for its lightweight, serum-like texture, enriched with vitamins, antioxidants, and calming chamomile. Not only does it effortlessly provide SPF protection, but it also leaves my skin with a soft, natural finish, making it an essential and favorite part of my daily routine.

Charlotte Tilbury’s Hollywood Flawless Filter
Growing up with a face like mine with freckles scattered all over, I always used an extreme amount of foundation to hide my freckles. I would end up looking ghostly and just not like myself. After a few years, I began to embrace my freckles, feeling like they made me, me. I always strived to find a product that could give me the coverage I desired but the ability to see and let my freckles peek through. Then, I came across this product from Charlotte Tilbury, the Hollywood Flawless Filter. This foundation gives you the opposite of the matte cakey look I was trying to escape. The thin foundation is dewy, each drop giving a glow- I end up looking like it’s golden hour at all times of the day. This fountain is heavy enough to cover any blemishes or insecurities I have, but thin enough to allow my freckles to peek through. This product gives me the perfect look for a day in the office or a night out in the city!

Colibri Skincare Night Cream
As someone who is not a big fan of lengthy skincare routines with numerous products, the Colibri Skincare Night Cream has become my favorite and an essential part of my nighttime routine. It can be applied not just to the face, chest, and neck but also around the eyes. After a long day, the product leaves my skin feeling relaxed and moisturized before going to bed. With its combination of retinol and ceramides, the night cream contributes to the regeneration of the skin during sleep and strengthens its protective barrier, providing fresh and glowing skin.

Benefit Cosmetics Benetint
Originally created to stain other areas, the Benefit Cosmetics Benetint, is the rosy lip and cheek stain that gives you the perfect “I-bit-into-a-cherry-and-rubbed-it-on-my-cheeks” look. The watery texture blends right into your lips and skin, and depending on how many layers you use, can give a natural light finish or a prominent medium finish. After it completely dries, Benetint can and will last you for hours without the need to reapply, but if you find yourself wanting more color, the travel size packaging makes it easy to refresh on the go. My favorite way to use Benetint is as a subtle lip stain with a cool brown lip liner with a clear lip gloss or balm
