As Editor-in-Chief of BELLA and a passionate advocate for beauty products that deliver real results, I couldn’t be more impressed with Purdori’s Soothing Natural Face Cleanser, also a well-deserved BELLA Beauty Award winner. This cleanser strikes the perfect balance of effectiveness and gentleness, removing impurities without stripping the skin of its natural moisture. Its natural ingredients are a blessing for sensitive skin, offering a calming experience that leaves you feeling refreshed and radiant. Purdori has truly elevated my skincare game and become a staple in my daily routine.

Who doesn’t want thicker, fuller hair? A new favorite of mine to achieve luscious locks is Kyir FULLER Active Hair Serum. Used along with their beautiful Stimulating Scalp Tool for massage, you’ll get thicker, fuller hair right away. And it’s a clean, all-natural, cruelty-free formula, with a fresh scent. Just put a few drops on the scalp, massage in, and it releases tension and balances the scalp, improves blood flow while promoting strength and volume. It immediately changes the appearance of your hair, all while creating the optimal conditions for follicles to grow. It’s derm-tested, non-toxic, safe for all types of hair, and is the ultimate product to prevent hair loss.
Duo: FULLER Active Hair Serum/Stimulating Scalp Tool, available at LoveKyir.com, $95.40.

As we age, our necks become one of our biggest challenges. I have been using Beverly Hills MD Neck Serum for almost a year now and it is the best neck cream I have used so far. As soon as I put it on, I feel my skin tightening and I can truly see the difference in photos as well. It immediately helps to tighten the look of sagging skin on your neck and jowls. The roller makes it so easy to use every morning and every evening before bed so there is no excuse. It also goes a long way, so it lasts a long time. Ladies, I would put this on my holiday shopping list this year and buy this for yourself, you won't regret it.

I have very sensitive skin and sometimes suffer from dryness. I've been coveting JSHealth's Pro-Collagen Vitamin Serum, which almost instantaneously hydrates and brightens my skin. I love this brand because it uses research-based science to formulate its products, and I feel good about both its skincare products and supplements.

As 80’s girls, we were obsessed with pink lip gloss shade #44 (IYKYK). It was a staple for us, along with our big poufy hairstyles and neon garb. Fast forward to today when we finally found a grown-up, modern-day version of this nostalgic lip shade from Runway Rogue called Catwalk. We love that this gloss is in a silver tube that resembles our gloss from yesteryear. And we love that Catwalk's soft pink shimmer adds just a hint of that pastel sheen color we covet while delivering hydrating and nourishing benefits. It’s like a walk down memory lane in 2024!
Catwalk Lip gloss, available at RunwayRogue.com, $24.
