LA’s Favorite Cult Beauty Products

Have you ever found yourself wondering how bloggers in Los Angeles seem to have the perfect summer ‘glow’ year-round? 

Maybe it has something to do with the more consistent sunlight than we tend to get on the east coast, but they also have some great beauty products to thank. Sick of being envious, I went a step further and gathered all of the ‘cult’ products that appeared to be the common denominator between all of the Instagram influencers with seemingly flawless skin. Check out the list below for all of LA’s favorite cult beauty products. Coming soon: your west coast glow!

SONYA DAKAR

First and foremost, we need an even texture. Several Cali-based bloggers, like @samiclarke and @helenowen, have recently opened up about their skincare journeys, and we’ve quickly come to find out that many of our favorite influencers struggle with blemishes just as we do. The products that work for them? Sonya Dakar Silver Clarifying Wash & Blemish Buster.

THREE SHIPS

Three Ships is a Canadian beauty brand that has quickly picked up traction in the Cali market, as the products are 100% plant derived, all natural and cruelty-free. Their DEW DROPS are a best-seller, backed by the OG west coast blogger herself, Lauryn Evarts Bosstick of @theskinnyconfidential. The DEW DROPS are a Hyaluronic Acid + Vitamin C serum that layers smoothly under makeup, is non-irritating and enhances the ‘natural glow’ look.

THE ORDINARY

Probably one of my personal favorites, The Ordinary is an insanely affordable cult classic and is commonly raved about by influencers like @emmachamberlain and @jourdansloane. A few of the most popular products include their Caffeine Solution 5% + EGCG, which helps to reduce eye puffiness and appearance of dark circles, the Hyaluronic Acid 2% + B5 for extra hydration in dry air and Niacinamide 10% + Zinc 1% to fight blemishes and acne scarring.
