Chriselle Lim blends high fashion with everyday elegance, embodying the effortlessly polished lifestyle of a modern working mom. Her approach to beauty and self-care centers on luxury that’s functional — from skincare that works to statement accessories that elevate a look with minimal effort. This curated stack reflects the essentials she uses to maintain her signature glow while juggling motherhood, business, and fashion. Each item is handpicked for quality, elegance, and real-life results.

Augustinus Bader The Rich Cream

Known as the “miracle cream” in luxury skincare circles, The Rich Cream delivers deep hydration, skin regeneration, and a radiant glow.

Chriselle has praised it for bringing her skin back to life after long days or sleepless nights.

It’s powered by TFC8 technology — a complex that supports skin repair, making it a go-to in her nighttime routine.

Dyson Supersonic Hair Dryer

Sleek, quiet, and powerful, the Dyson Supersonic dries hair in record time without heat damage — perfect for a fast-paced lifestyle.

Chriselle values tools that perform well while looking beautiful on her vanity, and this one does both.

It’s also great for maintaining volume and shine, even during hectic travel or after workouts.

Chanel Hand Cream

Elegant and compact, Chanel’s hand creams bring luxury to the smallest parts of a routine.

Chriselle often shares that how you care for the details — like your hands — reflects self-respect.

These creams not only hydrate but also double as designer accessories in her handbag or on her desk.

GHD Platinum+ Styler

Chriselle uses the GHD Platinum+ Styler to create soft waves, sleek straight looks, or quick touch-ups between shoots.

Its intelligent heat sensors protect her hair while delivering salon-quality results in minutes.

It’s a must-have in her travel bag and a staple in her morning routine.

Jo Malone Fragrances

Clean, layered, and understatedly bold, Jo Malone’s perfumes are part of Chriselle’s everyday scent wardrobe.

She leans into fragrances that feel luxurious but not overpowering, especially Wood Sage & Sea Salt and Peony & Blush Suede.

The aesthetic packaging makes them a staple on her vanity.

Morning Wake‑Up Ritual

• Energizing Shower & Korean Exfoliation
• Chriselle begins her day with a quick shower using Phlur body wash, paired with a Korean scrub.
• The ritual invigorates her senses and leaves her skin incredibly smooth as she mentally prepares for the day ahead.
• Scent Layering for All‑Day Fragrance
• To maintain her signature scent routine, she layers her body wash, lotion, and perfume from the same fragrance line in the morning.
• This multi-step approach ensures a subtle yet lasting aroma throughout her busy day.

Skincare & Devices

• Staple Serums & Sun Protection
• Her daily skincare always starts with Clé de Peau Beauté The Serum, followed by Augustinus Bader’s Light Cream and Dr. Barbara Sturm’s Niacinamide Serum.
• She finishes with a sheer SPF—currently Summer Fridays’ ShadeDrops—to achieve a radiant, protective base.
• Tech‑Driven Treatments for Acne & Anti‑Ageing
• Chriselle manages hormonal acne with the prescription cream Winlevi, applied morning and night.
• She also uses a Dr. Dennis Gross LED mask several times a week and relies on NuFace microcurrent tools to enhance skin firmness.

Make‑Up Philosophy

• Quick-Glow Base on Tough Skin Days
• On challenging skin days, she opts for minimal coverage with Clé de Peau Radiant Cream Foundation and concealer under the eyes.
• She emphasizes dewy, luminous skin with a pop of rosy blush using Westman Atelier and creamy lip-blush sticks.
• Every day “No‑Makeup” Edge
• Chriselle's signature look includes a natural taupe winged liner, rosy cheeks, and a rosy-pink lip.
• For mid-weight makeup, she favors Tata Harper’s blush tints—versatile for lips and cheeks—and neutral eye shadow tones.

Evening & Self‑Care Rituals

• Double Cleanse & Weekly Masks
• Evenings start with oil cleansing (massaged onto a dry face) to dissolve makeup, followed by Tata Harper’s exfoliating cleanser.
• She lim­its her previous 10‑step Korean routine to a few smarter steps now, focusing on clay and sheet masks to balance oily skin.
• Wind‑Down Routine With Tools & Tea
• After her kids are in bed, she indulges in a sheet mask while journaling or reading.
• She likes to sip Korean ginger tea or sometimes a glass of red wine, light candles, and enjoy devices like NuFace or LED masks alongside a Moon Juice Magnesi‑Om powder to unwind.

Wellness

• Hydration, Supplements & Travel Habits
• Hydration is key: she drinks lots of water daily and carries oils and sleeping masks on flights.
• To beat jet lag, she relies on melatonin mixes like Dream Water or Mixhers, combined with gym sessions and massages/steam rooms upon arrival.

Lifestyle & Mindset Practices

• Mindful Start & Fitness
• Chriselle wakes early (around 6 a.m.) to meditate for a few quiet minutes before her day begins with her daughters — no phone, just calm focus.
• Her workouts range from Barry’s Bootcamp and Peloton sessions to HIIT and Orangetheory, which serve as mental therapy.
• Mental Health & Therapy
• Post-divorce, therapy became a cornerstone for Chriselle’s emotional resilience.
• She integrates affirmations into her skincare routine and prioritizes mental clarity by limiting late nights and treating her wellness routine with the same care as her beauty regimen.

Creator & Entrepreneur Gear

• Sony ZV-1 Camera
• Chriselle often uses the Sony ZV-1 for vlogging and behind-the-scenes content.
• It’s compact, has excellent auto-focus, and produces sharp, flattering footage with minimal effort — perfect for a fashion-forward lifestyle that’s always on the go.
• UBeesize Ring Light with Tripod
• For those crisp, glowy video calls and beauty tutorials, a ring light with adjustable color temperature helps maintain flattering lighting all day.
• Chriselle keeps one in her workspace for quick meetings, shoots, and Reels.
