Now that the frenzy surrounding the Stranger Things season five finale is over, it feels only right to fix my withdrawal by writing about Millie Bonnie Bongiovi, not just as an actor, but as the founder of Florence by Mills, her beauty brand that’s redefining Gen Z beauty.
From its clean, vegan formulas to its playful approach to self-expression, Florence by Mills rejects unrealistic, toxic beauty standards while making skincare fun, accessible, and effective.
As someone who’s grown up alongside Millie, I find her transparency and commitment to authenticity incredibly refreshing, especially as a fellow acne-prone girl. Her products are approachable yet exciting, with that perfect mix of care and personality.
Here are three products I’m especially keen to try:
1. Spot a Spot Patches
A staple in Millie’s skincare routine and TikTok feeds, these hydrocolloid patches do not just conceal pimples; they actively treat them. Infused with tea tree oil and salicylic acid, they soothe, exfoliate, and keep pores clear.
2. Love Core Black Cherry Hair & Body Mist
A travel-friendly mist with notes of black cherry and oud, two scents I associate with summer. Lightweight, fragrant, and fun to spritz on the go, it’s a perfect multitasking mist for hair and body.
3. Tint N Tame Clear Brow Gel
This one’s the product I’m most excited about. With thin bristles and maximum hold, it promises brows that stay put, perfect for someone like me who hasn’t used a brow gel in quite a while.
