Veronica's Top 5
Next up in our top 5 series is our resident Interior Design expert and customer service extraordinaire, Veronica! Veronica is currently working on an extra special project for Shimmer, but she still found the time to let us in on her faves.
Milk & Honey has created the Holy Grail of natural deodorants. As a generally sweaty gal (no shame!), I’ve been back-and-forth on natural deodorants, especially in the warmer months. I would always keep a backup antiperspirant on hand just in case. However, Milk & Honey has completely converted me to natural deodorant year round. It keeps up on long, active days and does not discolor my white blouses. And the Lavender Tea Tree scent is heavenly.
If there’s one product I recommend to everyone who visits Shimmer, it’s the Cloud Collagen lip + cheek balm. I started using it when I ran out of my traditional powder blush and I can confidently say that I will never go back! This balm is pigmented perfectly that it can be blended smoothly into foundation or applied directly to fresh clean skin. As someone with very fair skin, Calla is the perfect cool-toned pink that doesn’t overwhelm my complexion.
One Love Organics has done wonders for my skin overall, but my favorite product has to be their Microderma Scrub & Masque. For the occasional extra cleanse, I love that this tiny but mighty exfoliant can be used as a quick scrub or be safely left on for a few minutes before washing away.
I added Siren Silk to my daily skincare routine this past winter to combat drier-than-normal areas. I can’t believe I went so long without it! The smooth, lightweight texture absorbs quickly and leaves my skin feeling well-moisturized without any residue.
(Bonus: It creates the perfect base for RMS SuperNatural Radiance Serum!)
RMS is an iconic cosmetics company for a reason. As someone who loves a bold red lip, I had to treat myself to Ruby Moon. Wild With Desire checks all the boxes for a lipstick: smooth application, buildable pigment, and long-lasting coverage. The formulation has all of the characteristics of a classic lipstick, but it seriously feels like applying lip balm. No dryness here!
