Meghan’s Favorite Things: Makeup and Skincare

We are so fortunate to have archives of Meghan’s blog, The Tig, to look back on to see recipes she loves, travel destinations she has been to, and people she admires. Meghan also writes on her blog about fashion and beauty, so we decided to pull a comprehensive list of all of the beauty products Meghan mentions on the site to share with you so you can emulate and shop her look. All of this content is by Meghan Markle and The Tig and was graciously pulled from The Tig Archives.

To get through the cold months, here is a look at Winter staple products from a November 2015 Tig post:

6. Bath Soak – R.L. Linden & Co “Ms. Tilly Rosalie’s Beauty Tea, $21 — this tea can be used in the bath or steeped and consumed. Rose tea is known to decrease cortisol levels, which help fight premature breakdown of collagen due to stress. In the bath, the plant extracts help to treat inflammation and irritation from itchy, dry skin. Freeze the tea into ice cube trays and use them as cold eye compresses to help with puffiness.
