CHARI DAVIS is the owner and lead designer of Wolf Feather Honey Interiors, the owner and designer of wedding and event venue The Jackson Pearl in Downtown Ocean Springs and owner and designer of The Bootleg Howl, a private vacation rental and ultra-swanky photography location in the heart of downtown Biloxi. She and her husband, Craig, also are about to launch The Rad Sipper — a limo tour of the coast’s top breweries. Check out the go-to beauty products this busy woman can’t live without:
TOM FORD NOIR EAU DE PARFUM
Just because it’s technically “pour homme” doesn’t mean this femme can’t rock it. This scent is sultry, deep and offers a bold aroma of money, leather and a delicious vanilla tobacco pipe. For those who are scent fanatics, this one is truly intoxicating.
MARIO BADESCU FACIAL SPRAY WITH ALOE, HERBS AND ROSE WATER
I have a mini obsession with the scent of rose. I try to incorporate it into all my properties somehow, whether it’s a rose garden, rose-scented candles or even rose oil aromatherapy. It’s a sophisticated, nostalgic and happy scent for my soul. This facial spray is a cult classic, and I first received it from my friend, Melissa, who is a very talented florist and knows me too well. I’ve used this every day since.
VASELINE PURE PETROLEUM JELLY
The staple of all beauty staples, it’s perfect for skin, nails and even hair sometimes. It’s great after exfoliating, perfect for hands and cuticles and adds that extra natural glow to face and body when you’re going out on the town.
MAC FIX FLUID 24-HOUR WEAR FOUNDATION
I have a lot of freckles, and I’m on the go nonstop. So when I apply foundation, I need some natural-looking coverage — and I need it to last in all sorts of climates, including the Southern heat and humidity, while staying put all day long. This is the only foundation I’ve discovered that truly stands the test of time and looks even better as it settles throughout the day.
L’OREAL PARIS INFALLIBLE PRO – LAST LIQUID LIPSTICK
Whether it’s a neutral pout or a bold lip, I must have a lipstick that lasts throughout my 16-hour workdays. L’Oreal Paris Infallible Pro – Last is by far the best tried-and-true, longest-lasting lipstick I’ve ever used. Each and every time I wear it, I get compliments and comments on the color and its staying power.
MAC LIP PENCIL IN RUBY – WOO
If you’re going for any perfect cherry red lip, Mac Lip Pencil in Ruby – Woo is it. You can use it to shape, line or even fill in your lips, and it’s simply perfect.
L’OREAL PARIS ORIGINAL VOLUMINOUS MASCARA
My mascara of choice for over 15 years, it’s thick and coats really well, especially after week three. They have fun shades too, like blue and green, which are perfect for adding an unexpected pop of color to your normal makeup routine. I have baby blue eyes, so the colored mascara has always add a fun effect whether worn on its own or layered as a top coat.
MILANI BAKED HIGHLIGHTER – DOLCE PERLA
This is the most neutral and longest-lasting highlighter I’ve ever used. It has both golden and pink undertones and naturally pairs with any makeup color combos. Use it on your eyes, cheeks and even lips for a natural glow, and layer it on thick for a perfect holiday sparkle.
HASK ARGAN OIL REPAIRING SHINE HAIR OIL
I have almost too much fun changing my hairstyles and color with each changing season, or sometimes even each mood. This lightweight, yummy-smelling and intensely repairing serum helps detangle, nourish, protect and smooth.
SALLY HANSEN’S MIRACLE GEL NAIL COLOR
I’m a very hands-on designer, which usually results in my nails being covered in some type of wood stain or paint. Consequently, my nails stay short, and I need a color that will last through lots of rough wear and tear. Due to my schedule, the color also must dry fast. My go-to for a little pop of fancy when it’s dress-up time is always Sally Hansen’s Miracle Gel Nail Color. It checks all the boxes and gets the job done.
