I discovered some awesome products in 2025 and I’ve chosen my top 10 to share! These are game changing products for mature women that really helped me to up my beauty, confidence, and lifestyle games! These are going to be things from beauty, home, fashion, and lifestyle that weren’t included in my best makeup of 2025 or my best skincare of 2025 videos. These products are in no particular order, but I am starting in beauty and then working my way through fashion and then onto a couple of home products. So let’s get into it!
#1: THE BEST MAGNIFYING MAKEUP MIRROR
First is this 30x Magnifying Mirror. I’ve been on the hunt for a good, inexpensive magnifying mirror and luckily found this one for only $11.99. The Mirror has a 30x magnification side and a regular mirror side. It is a really good quality mirror that doesn’t distort your face when looking in it.
I like to use this mirror when putting on eyeliner or mascara because I can see everything really crisply and in focus. It has a rubberized suede around it which not only protects the mirror but also makes the handle comfortable to hold. The handle is also on a hinge so that it can be folded to be placed on a tabletop or completely flat for travel.
#2: PRESCRIPTION MINOXIDIL FOR HAIR LOSS
Game changing product number two is going to be my Oral Minoxidil Prescription medication from Alloy. Minoxidil promotes hair growth by widening blood vessels, increasing nutrient supply to follicles, and extending the growth phase. It’s available in two forms: an over the counter liquid that you apply to your scalp and an oral pill form. I had been using the topical for years in combination with a red light laser device and while that was helping I decided this year to give oral minoxidil a try since Alloy makes it so easy to get a prescription. I started the oral minoxidil about 6 months ago and I have really seen a difference in my hair. I was noticing my hair thinning the most by my temples and already there is new growth in that area.
Alloy is a great service for perimenopausal, menopausal, and post-menopausal women. It’s an online service where you can get prescription medications for treating your menopause symptoms like hair loss, hot flashes, loss of libido, brain fog, and weight gain. The service has doctors there that can help you and that can prescribe you various medications based on your specific needs. If you’re interested in trying anything from Alloy, you can use the code ANGIE10 for $10 off prescription medications like HRT, Minoxidil, and GLP1. If you’re looking for prescription skincare, like estriol cream or tretinoin, you can use the code FLASHY for $20 off skincare at Alloy.
#3: 2-IN-1 HAIR STRAIGHTENER & CURLER
My number three game-changing product for 2025 is the Airflow 2-in-1 Straightener & Curling Iron. Similar to a regular flat iron there are two plates on the inside, however the outside is rounded and has little holes that cool air flows out of.
I’ve been using a regular curling iron for the last couple of years, but I always wanted to learn how to make those nice beachy waves using a flat iron. No matter what tutorial I followed I could not make it work with just a regular flat iron. With this product I can straighten my hair, but because it has a rounded backside, I can also use it like a curling iron. Not only did I manage to curl my hair with it, but I really like how my hair comes out more as beachy waves than tight ringlets. The other thing that I love about this is that it’s dual voltage, so it can be used when traveling outside of the country.
#4: SOLID MAKEUP BRUSH SOAP
Game changer number four is the Solid Brush Soap from BK Beauty. This is hands down the best brush soap I have ever used. It’s all natural and vegan made with coconut oil, so it won’t harm the bristles on your brushes. This brush soap also smells really fresh and clean. What’s so great about this product is that it comes with a cleaning pad right inside the lid.
All you need to do is wet your brush head, rub it in the soap, scrub it on the cleaning pad, rinse it, and just like that your brushes are washed. Not only does it make brush cleaning really quick and easy, but it comes with everything you need to wash your brushes in one little compact package. It’s sold in two different sizes: a mini if you just have a couple of brushes and full-size if you are a major makeup brush user. You can use the code ANGIE10 for 10% off over at BK Beauty.
#5: MINI TRAMPOLINES
Game changer number five is going to be my Mini Trampoline. As we age, especially in post-menopause, our bones lose more bone every year than they can gain making them increasingly frail and fragile. Luckily there are only a couple of ways to gain bone back:
- Increase supplement intake: calcium, vitamins D3 & K2, magnesium, zinc, and collagen.
- Impact exercises: helps build bone density, cardiovascular fitness, and strength.
So along with taking supplements, I decided to get a mini trampoline so that I could also do more impact exercises. I love the workouts that I do on this trampoline because they incorporate jumping along with weightlifting. The combination of jumping and weightlifting really gives you the impact plus the stressors on your muscles and bones that are needed to help to increase bone density.
Over the course of the year, it has been one of the best things that I’ve added into my routine. It really helped me to get re-engaged in my workouts and be excited about them. The mini trampoline is something I really enjoy and find fun to do which also helps so much with my overall motivation to workout. I did a whole video where I did a deep dive into the research on mini trampolines, so check that out if you want more information on this product.
#6: ALGAE CALCIUM
The sixth product on my list of 2025 game changer is also for increasing bone density, it’s the Piping Rock Algae Calcium. This supplement is made from red algae, a type of seaweed that contains Aquamin, which is rich in calcium, magnesium, and 74 trace minerals including zinc, iron and selenium. This supplement also has added vitamin D, another essential vitamin to help build bones.
I take two capsules a day which gives me 480 mg of calcium, 35 mg of magnesium, 1,000 IU of vitamin D3, and 1,600 mg of the trace minerals. A bottle contains 180 capsules, so at two capsules a day it lasts me about 3 months for only $16. I’ve been taking the Piping Rock Algae Calcium for about 6 months and I really like it so far.
#7: DOUBLE-SIDED STICKY BOOBS
The seventh game changer is Double-Sided Sticky Boobs. I came across this product over the summer when I wanted to wear a really pretty backless, strappy dress for a special occasion. I couldn’t wear a bra with this dress without it being visible and I didn’t feel comfortable going completely braless. So, I started looking into how to hold the girls up in other ways.
I looked at boob tape and traditional sticky boobs but none of them were really working right with the dress until I found this product. It’s basically sticky boobs but better, and the difference between these and the standard is that these are sticky on both sides. The inside sticks to your skin so you can place them where you want coverage. Then the outside sticks to your dress and the straps of the dress lift the girls up where you want them to be! Additionally this product comes in a few different styles:
I absolutely love that these allow you to wear strappy, strapless, or backless clothes while making sure the girls not only stay where they need to be, but also look good. I’m really happy I found these because it has opened up a whole new world of clothing for me that I felt like I wasn’t allowed to wear anymore simply because the girls weren’t in the right place.
#8: MY FAVORITE PAIR OF JEANS
Early in 2025 I discovered my number eight gamer changer, it’s the Good Legs Straight Jeans from Good American. This is a pair of jeans that was from my spring lookbook which I made back in March and they still managed to be my top selling pair of jeans for the entire year.
These are such great looking jeans, by a good brand, and at a great price point. These jeans are under $100 but give you the look of a $258 pair of jeans. What I really like about them is the denim is super stretchy and soft, while still being flattering and well fitted.
#9: MICROWAVE BOWL COZIES
I didn’t know I needed my ninth game changer until I got them, but now I use them every single day. They are the cutest Microwave Bowl Cozies. The design is almost like a pot holder, except it’s been shaped so that it holds a bowl instead.
I’m sure we’ve all experienced burning our hands on a bowl of food just out of the microwave. Well these cozies completely eliminate that problem. You just place the bowl in the cozy, put the whole thing in the microwave, and when you go to grab it out the cozy acts as a protective layer between your hands and the hot bowl. I absolutely love these because they’re also very inexpensive and come in lots of different colors to fit the style of any home.
#10: THE COZIEST THROW BLANKET
The final game changer of 2025 is the Faux Fur Throw Blanket that I bought for myself and then proceeded to buy as gifts for family and friends. I love this blanket because it is so soft and plush while still looking luxe and elegant.
It’s a double layer blanket with the outer side being a really pretty ribbed faux fur and the other side is a really warm, soft fleece. It comes wrapped with a bow, so it makes a really good gift presentation if you’re giving it to someone. It’s available in so many beautiful colors and four sizes including throw, twin, queen, and king.
