The Beauty Edit
The beauty world can be so intense, confusing, and misleading with all of the targeted ads and images that can lead you & your skin suffering. I have very sensitive skin that can easily dry out and react if I use too harsh of products. Because of this, I am constantly on the hunt for beauty products that will keep my skin looking fresh & clean while also using few chemicals. here are a few of my latest and greatest products I’ve discovered for all things beauty…
Skincare
Trader Joe’s Nourish Antioxidant Facial Serum- I use this product day and night underneath my moisturizer. It acts as an amazing primer under makeup and at night it soothes and refreshes my skin. One of my best friends recommended this product to me and it’s been a life-changer ever since. Not only does it smell amazing, but it leaves your skin silky smooth and makeup applies great on top of it. Also, the price is perfect and it has tons of natural ingredients.
Thayer’s Rose Witch Hazel Facial Toner- I use this product day and night after I wash my face with my L’Occitane cleansing oil-to-milk wash and then apply Micellar Water. This helps to refresh my skin after a day of wearing makeup yet it is gentle enough and alcohol-free which is a big plus!
Fresh Rose Deep Hydration Moisturizer- I use this day and night underneath makeup and on top of my serum. This is the ultimate gentle moisturizer that leaves me glossy but not oily and makeup applies very well on top of. It also smells great and leaves your skin feeling so healthy. It’s been a favorite since high school and I always end up coming back to this one no matter how many others I try out.
Rosebud Salve- I am a huge fan of a nicely hydrated glossy lip and this product does the trick for me. I apply this in the morning when I do my makeup and at night before I go to bed. This helps my lips stay super soft and adds a natural shine to them if you don’t like wearing lipstick every day.
Makeup
Nars Radiant Creamy Concealer- I use this product in two colors. Affogato I apply under my eyes and around my nose while I apply Vanilla for covering blemishes. This formula is high enough coverage to use without foundation and it blends very easily. I love how lightweight the product is and the shades have a wide variety!
Lancome Définicils Mascara- This is hands down my favorite mascara. This stuff doesn’t smudge, rub off, or flake away and gives the longest looking lashes. It’s my favorite part of getting ready in the morning!
Hair Care
IGK Rich Kid Coconut Oil Gel- I never used to be a hair person, I always would just use shampoo and conditioner and call it a day. However, recently I started using this stuff and my hair is forever changed for the better. This product adds moisture and texture to my hair without making it greasy.
IGK Good Behavior Spirulina Protein Smoothing Spray- I cannot get over how good this product smells. It’s like roasted marshmallows and vanilla and I’ve quickly become addicted to using it. It acts as a heat protectant and de-frizzes your hair while also adding shine on top.
Klorane Dry Shampoo with Oat Milk- I am very picky when it comes to dry shampoos as I hate when they leave a white residue. I used to use brown colored dry shampoo to avoid this, but it ended up rubbing off on my skin and clothing. This is formulated with oat milk and has a very mild scent with maximum refreshing powers.
Extras
Thymes Kimono Rose Hand Cream- I received this product as a gift and I love it. It smells so fresh and is part of my nightly routine. I keep it right by my bed so I never forget to moisturize my hands, not just my face!
Olly Prebiotic + Probiotic Gummies- I absolutely love these gummies. Maybe not entirely beauty related, they are a health booster. I love having a healthy gut and these help me stay regulated every day.
Slip Silk Pillowcase- This pillowcase is amazing. They say it’s beauty not bedsheets and I couldn’t agree more. In just two weeks I noticed improved skin quality and hair quality. I actually didn’t have to wash my hair as often as it was getting messed up and pulled while sleeping.
There you have it, some of my favorites of the latest & greatest.
