I swear, I have more on my bathroom counter than ever before – thanks to Birchbox and a recent obsession with Dr. Dennis Gross! If you haven’t tried either yet, I recommend you do! Birchbox sends you monthly samples of products for just $10 a month, and Dr. Dennis Gross is a skincare line that has been seriously helping my problem skin.

I’ve always struggled with sensitive yet acne-prone skin and very few products work well for me. I tried the Dr. Dennis Gross Trifix Acne Clearing lotion and loved it (seems to calm any breakouts) – so when I received the Hydra-Pure moisturizer, Alpha Beta Glow pads and face peel pads, I couldn’t wait to try them all! Even if you have perfect skin, the glow pads are a must-buy! They are anti-aging, exfoliating, and leave you with a perfect sunless tan. And they work really well with the Alpha Beta Peel, which helps reduce pores and improves skin texture. But you don’t have to take my word for it! Refinery 29 just rave d about Dr. Dennis Gross too!

I’m no beauty product expert, but I do know what works for me – and with this heat lately, I’m relying on my essentials more than ever! These are products I use on a daily basis – from the Dr. Dennis Gross lotion that works wonders for helping breakouts, to the Clinique city block that keeps out the daily grime (plus SPF) under my aaaamazing tinted moisturizer, to the best eyeliner I’ve ever used (perfect cat eye lines that don’t smudge). And for tons of great samples (how I discovered my love for Zoya nail polish), check out Birchbox – a box of great samples every month for just $10!
