This week’s list spans skincare, style, beauty maintenance, and even something for family dinner. In other words, these are my essential picks for the week—spanning skincare, fashion, and family fun all at once.

1. MERIT Great Skin Instant Glow Serum
This one is a 10/10 for me. The MERIT Great Skin Instant Glow Serum is a bi-phase formula built around four types of hyaluronic acid plus 2% niacinamide, so it hydrates deeply while brightening and evening out tone. It also contains cacao seed extract, which stimulates blood flow for an immediate plumping effect, that’s the “instant glow” part living up to its name. A few drops in the morning and my face has a healthy, plumped-up glow that lasts all day. As you can see, skincare is truly an essential part of these weekly picks. In fact, it perfectly fits within my Essential Weekly Picks: Skincare, Fashion, and Family Fun. Honestly, this serum easily became one of my weekly favorites because of how much I use and trust it. It retails for $38.
2. Significant Other Summer Dress
I wear this dress on repeat, and it’s easy to see why: the fit is flattering without trying too hard, which makes it my go-to for everything from errands to dinner out. In the spirit of fashion and fun, this favourite fits perfectly into my essential weekly picks. It’s no surprise this dress also gets a spot on my list of Essential Weekly Picks: Skincare, Fashion, and Family Fun. Without a doubt, this dress is a highlight among my weekly favorites for effortless day-to-night style. It’s designed by Significant Other, a great reminder that sometimes the best “favourite” is just one piece that fits so well you keep coming back to it.
3. RefectoCil Eyelash & Eyebrow Tint (Natural Brown No. 3)
Tinting my own eyebrows at home has been a genuine game changer. RefectoCil eyebrow tint joins my list of essential weekly favorites because it covers style, beauty, and self-care in one step. It’s technically formulated for professional use, so if you’re new to at-home tinting, it’s worth watching a tutorial or booking one salon visit first to learn the timing, but once you’ve got the hang of it, it saves a real trip to the brow bar every few weeks. Additionally, incorporating this tint into my weekly favorites means my self-care routine becomes both simpler and more effective.
4. TALES Conversation Cards, Kids Edition
These conversation cards have become a fun addition to our family dinners, and my four-year-old genuinely gets into it. These picks cover family fun, which makes them an essential addition to my weekly list of skincare, fashion, and more. Naturally, they’re included in my Essential Weekly Picks: Skincare, Fashion, and Family Fun this week. In summary, the cards are an easy pick for my family’s weekly favorites because of the genuine connection they spark with little ones. The TALES Kids Edition includes 150 age-appropriate prompts designed to help kids open up and share their thoughts, think “What’s something nice you did for someone else recently?” It’s a small thing, but it’s turned our dinner table into a place for actual conversation instead of a battle over vegetables.
5. Shark Beauty CryoGlow LED Face Mask with Under-Eye Cooling
My daily ritual right now: the Shark Beauty CryoGlow LED face mask with under-eye cooling. To wrap up, this pick is right at home with my other essential favorites of the week—spanning skincare, self-care, and even family fun at home. In short, all five truly represent my Essential Weekly Picks: Skincare, Fashion, and Family Fun. Notably, adding this face mask to my weekly favorites has redefined my approach to at-home beauty treatments. It combines red and infrared LED light therapy with cold technology aimed at under-eye puffiness, and it’s backed by a 12-week clinical study showing improvement in fine lines with daily use. If you know, you know, it’s become a non-negotiable part of my morning.
That’s this week’s lineup. As always, these are things I’ve actually used and would buy again with my own money, I’ll be back next week with five more favourites.
