Top Beauty Drops with Julee Wilson seen on Jenna & Sheinelle: January 2025
According to Wilson, menopause-smart skin care finally has the mic thanks to Naomi Watts’ wellness brand, Stripes Beauty. Starting with a luxurious night cream that actually understands hormonal skin changes, this top-seller is now 40% off with code TODAY. It’s rich without being greasy, supports hydration, bounce and elasticity — and does all the overnight repair work while you sleep. Talk about a 2026 power move!
This year, hair fragrance is officially part of the beauty routine. These light and flirty scents from Kitsch are what Wilson calls an affordable indulgence done right. Not only are they 30% off with code TODAY, but the trio is perfect for dividing and conquering amongst your gym duffles, carry-ons, handbags and more for that mid-day refresh moment. One spritz and the energy shifts!

Skin care-forward color is having a moment this year, and Tarte’s blush duo has just the ingredients to fit the bill. With peptides, hyaluronic acid and maracuja oil, it hydrates and blurs while making your cheeks pop. Wilson loves both the cream and powder option to go sheer during the day or build it up at night for exactly the flush you want. And now, for a limited-time, this luminous color that looks fresh (and never cakey) is 40% off with code TODAY.
If your face is over-exfoliated, irritated from the cold weather or simply didn't agree with the last viral skin care craze you tried, this Manuka honey face mask hits the reset button. It calms, hydrates and restores your glow without looking greasy — think fresh-from-a-facial skin for 40% off with code TODAY. Plus, Wilson adds that "single-origin" and "fully traceable" aren't just some marketing buzz words. If ingredient integrity is one of your new year resolutions, Activist will actually help you achieve real barrier repair.
If you think this is going to be just another gadget collecting dust, think again. The skin care wand from Shop TODAY Beauty Award-winning brand Solawave features red light therapy, microcurrent, warmth and more to make it a must-have multitasker for 2026 beauty routines. Wilson notes that consistency beats intensity when it comes to noticeable results, which is why she loves that it’s gentle enough to use on the regular. If you want clinical results with couch behavior, reach for this tech-forward pick that’s now 40% off with code TODAY.
