Uploaded January 2019 | Updated September 2026, 3 weeks ago
Finally up! Don't mind the gradual change in voice - I was coming down with bronchitis and wanted to finish filmng before I lost it altogether. So if things seem disjointed, it's prob me not being 100%!
A reminder that these are products that were new to me in 2018. Many of the products in my “Best Of” videos are picked from years and years of trying products out, from even before I had a channel. Also, new releases & products introduced starting November won’t be featured as I don’t believe it’s enough time - but you will see some in future monthly reviews! I also made a bigger effort to narrow the product variety down. If 2 products were similar even though I love them both, I forced myself to choose 1 - ofcourse the choice of any of these products over others are very personal and driven towards my own preferences!
Also, I don’t have all the products with me because I’ve been away from my stash since beginning of December and filming while traveling is always tricky!
Enjoy, my Skinthusiasts & I hope you're having a great 2019 so far!

![Affordable Evening Skincare Routine | Fall
Enjoy my budget friendly Fall Skincare Routine! Everything is under $20 and products I would choose over more expensive luxury ones!
My personal routine has simplified alot with the introduction of Retinol but I am still sharing where I would put my favourites in a routine because I believe that is what confuses us all the most! Im sharing with you what makes the most sense for my skin and what has given me the most transformative results. Ofcourse, I encourage you to understand your own skin intimately because science and guidelines comes second to experience every time! Love you!
If you want to learn more about my journey with Retinoids and Retinol, my reasoning behind using Retinol vs Retinoids then please head over to my Blog Post : http://bit.ly/2zM7D3o
