f you’ve been following me for a while now, you know there are a handful of brands that I’m super loyal to. There are just certain brands that are constants in my life that I feel deserve my complete devotion. On Monday I talked about Wit and Wisdom, Zella, and Vuori… 3 of my Top 5 favorite brands.
But right at the tip top of that favorites list has got to be Colleen Rothschild!
I was introduced to Colleen Rothschild by my friend Carly (at C Style) around 10 years ago now. I started with 1 product (the Radiant Cleansing Balm), and over the years I’ve added product after product for both my skin and now my hair. Plain and simple, Colleen Rothschild products do what they say they are going to do.
So we all need to get excited because the Colleen Rothschild CHRISTMAS IN JULY SALE is LIVE!
NO CODE NEEDED and you get 25% OFF sitewide!
MY TOP 3 SKIN PRODUCTS
There are 3 of Colleen’s products that I cannot live without. I use all 3 consistently throughout the entire year, and you will never find me without them.
What are the 3 products? The Cleansing Balm the Glycolic Acid Peel Pads, and the Face Oil #9.
Let’s kick things off with the Radiant Cleansing Balm because it totally changes the taking off your makeup game. And I’m telling you, you won’t even dread washing your face at night.
This balm truly has a cult following. For those of you that haven’t tried it yet, it’s different than any other cleanser I’ve ever used. First of all, I apply it to a dry face. I scoop out a small amount of the balm with dry hands and slather it on to my dry face. As I rub it on my face, the heat from my hands changes the balm into more of an oily texture and it just feels incredibly luxurious. It melts my makeup away, leaves my skin feeling amazing and hydrated, and the light citrus smell is PERFECT.
And listen, if you’re concerned about the price, don’t be. This jumbo tub will last most people around 9 months! And with the 25% OFF sale going on, that comes out to under $8 per month. And $8 per month for luxury skin care seems like an absolute bargain to me.
Radiant Cleansing Balm (Jumbo tub)
For those of you that aren’t ready to commit to the jumbo tub, you can still grab the regular size of the cleansing balm. With both sizes, you will receive a muslin cleansing cloth as well. Made with 100% cotton, the cloth provides a gentle way to exfoliate and enhance the overall cleansing experience. I just pop my cloth in the wash every several days.
Look how thick and rich the balm is, y’all!
It’s so gentle that you can even open your eyes as you are using it!
After cleansing my face, I use the peel pads. I’ve been using the Glycolic Acid Peel Pads for several years now, and I absolutely swear by them. After adding them to my weekly routine several years ago, I’ve never looked back. The CR pads are glycolic and lactic acid, both used for cell turnover.
I really credit these pads for changing my skin’s texture.
They boast a spa-strength treatment formula that helps to help dissolve skin-clogging dirt and debris while targeting fine lines, hyperpigmentation and imperfections. They work to reveal a fresher, brighter, and more even complexion.
The pads are quite large, so I sweep the pad all over my face, neck, and chest after cleansing. There are 60 pads per order, and I started out by using one of these every 2-3 days, so they used to last me about 4 months. I’ve changed my routine up a bit, and now I use them every single night, so the jar now lasts me about 2 months. If you grab them on sale right now, these are a total steal.
They are going to kick start your cell turnover into high gear and reveal brighter skin!
If you still need more convincing, go check out the reviews. They have 493 reviews, and 444 of those are 5 stars. That’s impressive.
If you have a cleanser that you already love, you should still think about grabbing these pads to add into your routine.
The Face Oil #9 is my 3rd ABSOLUTE MUST HAVE Colleen product. Just put a pump in your hand with your favorite moisturizer and get ready to hydrate and plump your skin like never before. My skin absolutely drinks this special little cocktail up. Dry skin really ages a person, and the face oil helps combat that! I can’t imagine it not being a part of my nightly routine, and I find myself using every morning now too.
If you need a moisturizer, the Extreme Recovery Cream is a great one. It’s thick, rich, and ultra-creamy.
Face Oil #9 / Extreme Recovery Cream
OTHER FAVORITE PRODUCTS
The Retinol Supreme Eye Serum is one of the newer additions to my nighttime routine. It’s a blend of retinol and vitamin C help that helps revitalize the delicate skin around the eyes. A little goes a lonnnnnnnnnnnng way. It doesn’t have a scent, the texture is great, it absorbs quickly, and the cooling tip allows for a perfect application. This serum hydrates and brightens, which seems to be a recurring theme in all of my favorite products. I WANT TO HYDRATE AND BRIGHTEN, LADIES! 🙂
Many people who consider their eyes a problem area report that they notice real results in just one week.
There are over 200 reviews, and the great majority are 5 STARS.
Colleen says this Vitamin C Brightening Serum is highly potent and shares that it combines two skin-care superstars! Its got 15% stabilized Vitamin C (THD Ascorbate) and the workhorse antioxidant Niacinamide. These are two products that I read about all the time, so I’m happy to see them combined into this serum. I apply this all over my face and neck right before I apply my moisturizer.
It has 254 reviews, and 222 of them are 5 STARS.
My favorite eye cream is BACK IN STOCK!
It’s the Colleen Rothschild Illuminating Tinted Eye Cream.
It has 1,261 reviews and 905 of them are 5 STARS!
This was my personal #1 find when I first used it a couple of years ago now, and it was actually in my Top 3 finds for the entire year! It was in y’alls Top 5 for several months in a row as well. It’s an incredible product.
The formula specifically targets common concerns of tired and dull eyes, such as under-eye darkness, fine lines, dryness, and puffiness.
Here’s what’s in it and what it does:
- Hyaluronic acid: helps reduce the appearance of wrinkles.
- Caffeine: targets puffiness and water retention.
- Pearlized pigments provide an instant brightening effect and create a radiant, glowing appearance.
- Peach coloring pigments neutralize blue undertones, helping to balance out skin tone and create a more even appearance.
- Peptites help smooth texture.
It’s really hard to capture how awesome the eye cream is in a picture, so you’re going to need to trust me. You can use it on its own on a fresh-faced day, but it also functions beautifully under makeup. I’m telling you, this eye cream is going to WOW you.
And just FYI: I don’t like concealer and never use it, but I think this eye cream not only does the job of an eye cream, but it also functions a bit like a concealer does… but it doesn’t settle into lines or crepiness (which is why I don’t like or wear concealer).
I obviously highly recommend this product. Like I said before, IT WILL WOW YOU.
The Intense Hydrating Mask is an easy answer for skin that needs extra hydration. You apply it at night and let it sink in while you sleep. It gives a boost of highly concentrated hydration to tight, dry, rough or dehydrated skin. This treatment helps strengthen elasticity, leaving skin with a youthful suppleness and radiance. Again, just read the reviews if you want to know more. The reviews are fantastic.
Intense Hydrating Mask / Micro Mineral Resurfacing Scrub no longer available 🙁

ONE OF MY MOM’S FAVORITE PRODUCTS
She looks FANTASTIC, right? She’s 75 in this picture (now 77) and she almost exclusively uses Colleen Rothschild skincare products. 
She loves lots of CR products (including the hair products!), but she claims that the Age Renewal Super Serum is her ride or die product. She believes it is this product that has greatly reduced the deep smile lines she had on each side of her face. She said she can still see them, but she can’t feel them like she used to. (She says she used to run her fingers over her face while watching tv, and she could feel them. But not anymore!)
She used to not bat an eye at spending serious bucks on skincare. Like, SERIOUS bucks. She felt like her skin was important and it was worth the money to take care of it. However, after my dad retired, she started to become more cautious about the money she was spending, and she was disappointed that her skin wasn’t looking as great as it had in the past. Enter, Colleen.
The CR products revived her skin like 5 years ago now, AND SHE CONTINUES TO BE A DEVOTED USER. She credits the hair products for changing her hair too! She says her hair was starting to look dry and old, but not anymore!!!!

DON’T SLEEP ON THE HAIR CARE PRODUCTS
Colleen’s hair products are absolutely phenomenal.
THESE PRODUCTS WILL CHANGE YOUR HAIR.
When I first started using them, I immediately noticed a difference. Like after 1 use! How’s that for fast results?
I’ve never really battled super dry or brittle hair; however, after having Carter my hair did change a bit and was not nearly as shiny or healthy as I felt it had been pre-pregnancy. It was then that I ditched the drugstore shampoo and conditioner that I’d been using my entire life (with no problems at all), and I started investing in better products for my hair. The beauty store products I started using back then definitely helped, and I was happy with my hair. I definitely thought they were worth the higher price because hair is important to me, y’all. Haha!
Those beauty store products were good.
BUT COLLEEN’S PRODUCTS ARE EXCEPTIONAL
I love all of the hair products except one. I just don’t love the regular shampoo. (I know people that do love the shampoo, but I personally prefer a shampoo I’ve been using for years now over the CR shampoo.)
Smooth and Shine Hair Serum / Quench and Shine Restorative Mask / Replenish and Shine Daily Conditioner
The REPLENISH & SHINE DAILY CONDITIONER is enriched with Baobab and Ivy Extracts to help protect and repair, transforming dull, brittle strands into strong, healthy hair. Starting at application, a complex blend of nourishing plant oils, including Poppy and Sacha Inchi Oil, offers instant slip and a daily infusion of hydration. The lightweight formula never feels heavy or weighed down.
I. LOVE. THIS. CONDITIONER.
It doesn’t weigh my hair down, but it still manages to be incredibly moisturizing. All of the products in the bundle work together to give you incredible hair, but even if you didn’t use any of the other products and only used this conditioner, you would still notice that the conditioner alone makes your hair shiny and soft. I’ve only been using this for a couple of months, but I’m already loyal to it.
And I know this shouldn’t really matter, but I happen to love the pale pink packaging. The products look pretty in your shower or on your bathroom counter, and I appreciate that!
Next up, the hair mask!
The QUENCH & SHINE RESTORATIVE MASK is a color-safe conditioning treatment to soften, detangle and revive all hair types without weighing your hair down. An ultra-rich blend of Kokum, Shea, Capuacu and Bacuri Butters quenches thirsty strands, enriching hair with nourishment and hydration. Argan and Moringa Oils smooth unruly split-ends and deliver a healthy-looking shine. Improved hair elasticity and strength help reduce frizz and texture, resulting in supremely soft, irresistibly touchable hair. This mask can be used daily as a conditioner or as an intensive weekly treatment.
So before they came out with the conditioner, I would use small amounts of this mask as my daily conditioner. In fact, I loved how my hair felt so much after using it that I was pretty sure I wouldn’t love the conditioner as much, and I would just continue to use this mask as my conditioner.
HOWEVER, I fell in love with conditioner too, and now I use the mask more as an intensive hair treatment. My goal is to use it once a week, but the truth is, I just use it when I have some extra time to spend in the shower. Instead of using just a tiny bit like I used to, I now use a good amount, massage it all over my head, and I like to leave it in for a bit to get the full benefit. I like to leave it in for a minimum of 5 minutes, but a couple of times I’ve even been known to get out of the shower and vacuum the house or something with it in before rinsing it out.
My mom loves the mask too. She absolutely SWEARS by this product and the serum that we’re going to talk about in just a minute.
Here’s my mom’s story with the hair products…. A couple of years ago she started noticing that her hair was “getting old” – her words, not mine. 😉 My mom has always had great hair, but she said it had all of a sudden started to become dry and brittle. WELL. She swears that the mask and the serum completely revitalized her hair.
I called her to hopefully get a couple of quick quotes for today’s post and she went ON AND ON! Haha! I actually asked her “So you really think these products changed your hair too?” And she was all “I KNOW they changed my hair.” 🙂
She told me how before using the products she had noticed a while ago that “a chunk of hair on the left side of her head” had become “extra dull and dry”. She said that she started applying small amounts of the mask to her dry hair at night (specifically just to the patch that was giving her trouble), and when she would wake up in the morning the patch would be more hydrated and more manageable!
She also said that she when she first got the mask that she was using it every single time she washed her hair, but now she doesn’t have to use it nearly as often because her hair is in so much better shape now! She truly feels it has REPAIRED her hair. It doesn’t just LOOK better, but it IS better. It’s healthier!
Just look how thick, rich, and creamy the mask is.
Quench and Shine Restorative Mask
And listen, the hair towel is NEXT LEVEL.
If you’re like I was, you might be like “It’s a towel. I have towels.” Maybe so. But you don’t have this towel.
And if you don’t have this towel, you need this towel.
The SUPERLUXE MICROFIBER HAIR TOWEL lessens the amount of damage we place on our hair by cutting down on dry time. By removing excess moisture before styling, hair can be smoother, stronger and shinier. Benefits all hair types and textures.
I don’t know how or why this hair towel is better than other towels.
BUT IT IS.
And just like the package says, it’s QUICK DRY, GENTLE, LIGHTWEIGHT, it REDUCES FRIZZ, and its ABSORBENT.
After getting out of the shower, I brush through my hair a couple of times and wring out any excess water, then I wrap my hair up in this towel while doing my makeup. LADIES. The amount of water it absorbs out of my hair is shocking. It’s going to take tons of moisture out of your hair, but it’s not going to leave it frizzy. It’s a game changer. It stays in place so much better than a regular towel, and it dries the hair so much quicker and more thoroughly. And it definitely cuts down on the time you are going to have to use your hair dryer.
Time for the last product, which many of you might think is the star of the show.
The SMOOTH & SHINE HAIR SERUM helps banish frizz, tame flyaways and quench dry ends with the light-weight, transformative power of Cotton Seed Oil. Essential nutrients from Neem Oil and Hibiscus Oil help strengthen, protect and nourish hair so that it feels soft and looks amazing!
When I asked my mom how often she uses the serum, she said “I use the serum alllllllllllllllllll the time.”
When I asked her if she used it on damp hair or dry hair, she said “YES TO BOTH”! Haha!
She uses it on both damp hair AND dry hair.
I wash my hair every couple of days, and my favorite way to use the serum is to run it through my hair AFTER I’ve styled my hair with my rollers and /or a curling iron. It smells great, it tames flyaways, and it adds SO MUCH SHINE! My mom said after getting older, she now washes her hair much less frequently than she used to have to, but she says “the serum livens my hair up between washings and gives it the sheen that it needs.” But yes, she also works a little bit through her damp hair before she dries it with her hair dryer.
These products are the way to SUPER HEALTHY, SUPER SHINY, and MORE MANAGEABLE HAIR!
It’s time to GET OUR SHINE ON, Ladies!
