FALL-ING FOR THESE FINDS….

November 1, 2025 //
0

It’s fall and I’ve found some new faves to share. First up is a new staple for me.

It is Ciele’s bronze & protect SPF 50+ bronzing concentrate. This is different than bronzing drops but can be used in the same way. I love to add 5 drops to my foundation. It gives the most suntanned goddess look, with the protection of spf 50. The consistency is water-like, and the pay off is huge.

I am rarely impressed by a Shampoo and Conditioner. I was shocked to discover how much I like Matrix’s Food for Soft Shampoo & Conditioner. It left my hair soft and manageable. It is great for thick hair.

I found a brow gel that does all that you want. It’s Sephora Collection’s Shape & Set Clear Eyebrow Gel. This gel holds brows in place and beyond. There is no stickyness. You can go for a natural look or use the special brush to get a laminated look.

I did not think I was into cream blush. I have always preferred liquid and powder. Morphe’s Huephoric Rush 3-in-1 Silk Blush. This blush has a natural look with one swipe and buildable for major color. It is a buttery texture that melts into skin. It gives an instant plumping look.

IT’S HARD…

to pick a favorite lip gloss. I have different favorites for different seasons, times of day, occasions, outfits, etc. While I can’t name a fave, I must talk about Tarte’s maracuja juicy lip plumping oil with hyaluronic acid. This gloss is so good. I have it in rose. It is super hydrating and very glossy. It’s full of good for your lips ingredients. I wear it alone and layer over lipstick.

SUMMER SELECTIONS

These are the products I’m enjoying this summer. First off is Naked Sundays CabanaGlow SPF 50 Mineral Glow Serum Drops in Bronze. This product does everything! I can wear it as foundation to be a bronzed goddess. It easily glides all over with it’s serum texture. It’s mineral with major protection. You will get compliments!

I’m setting my makeup with Kopari’s Sunglaze Sheer Setting Mist. This sets your makeup while giving you an illuminating glow. The mist is very fine and weightless. 

When I want face sunscreen without a bronzing affect I have been using Shisiedo’s Urban Environment Mineral Clear Sunscreen with SPF 50. It’s lightweight with hardly any whitecast. It layers great under makeup and is loaded with good for you skin ingredients.

Since I like to take the scent of the beach with me I’ve been covering myself in Vacation’s new Body Mist in their signature award winning fragrance. It’s a coconut, banana, paradise.

Lastly I’m chilling poolside or on the beach with Daizy’s Social Soda. These THC drinks work. Powered by delta 9 and have you feeling just fine….

YOU NEED A NIGHTTIME

retinal. Lately I am very happy with the results I have been seeing from Dr. Whitney Bowe Beauty’s Retinal Night. This .1% Retinal serum is gentle yet effective. I do not have sensitive skin and am used to using Retinal, so I jumped right in. I used it five days on two days off for a month with no issues. I had zero peeling or signs of sensitivity. I like how the consistency goes on and seems to absorb fast. It layered well under my night-time moisturizer. I think this a great option if you are looking for Retinal.

Naturium The Glow Getter Multi-Oil Hydrating Body Wash #1

call for a new body wash. I have been using Naturium’s The Glow Getter Multi-Oil Hydrating Body Wash. This body wash cleans and moisturizes skin. It gives great lather and comes in a nice pump bottle. 

Sunnee BAEskin BAEside Self-Tanning Sea Mousse #1

After the shower I’m either applying Sunnee BAEskin BAEside Self-Tanning Sea Mousse for a gorgeous glow. It is hydrating, fast drying and gives the perfect bronze. I’m also obsessed with their BAEside Hydrating Sea Mist Tanning Water.

PATRICK TA - Major Glow High Shine Skin Perfecting Body Crème 220 mL/7.76 oz PATRICK TA Major Glow High Shine Skin Perfecting Body Crème

or I’m glamming my skin up with Patrick Ta’s Major Glow High Shine Skin Perfecting Body Creme. It gives skin a healthy sheen while hydrating with a blend of butters and oils. It smells amazing. Their Major Glow Hair and Body Mist is really good too.

YOUR NEW BFF….

February 25, 2025 //

I am forever on the hunt for the perfect foundation for me. Unfortunately I rarely find exactly what I am looking for. That was not the case with Trinny London’s BFF De-Stress Tinted Serum. I need to specify this is perfect for me for my day time/ work day/ -not nightime foundation. It is called a Tinted Serum but I think the consistency is that of a foundation. There is a strong fragrance which I liked, but if you are sensitive to fragrance this would not be the product for you. It has a nice skin like finish. It is not matte but not slimy either. It stayed put all day and I did not use powder with it. It worked well with my skincare and other products like blush and bronzer. It was very easy for me to find my perfect skin color match. I have noticed I get compliments on my skin when I wear it.

NIGHTY NIGHT…

SkinFix’s barrier+ Strengthening and Moisturizing Triple Lipid-Peptide Refillable Cream with B-L3 is one of the better barrier creams I have tried. It somehow is thick and thin at the same time. Meaning it feels heavily moisturizing while also not feeling goopy and clogging. I layer it over essence and retinol serum. I think it would work lovely as your only nighttime step as well. I love the airless pump. It distributes the perfect amount and leaves no mess. I think this product would be great for all skin types and both men and women. My skin felt hydrated in the morning. I noticed no fragrance. I love that it is refillable. You can care for the planet while caring for your skin.

JOYOUS JUNE FINDS

Here’s what I’m into this month…..

For my hair I’m loving Carol’s Daughter Born To Repair Shampoo and Conditioner. It makes hair strong, soft, and manageable.

I’m also really liking the Agadir Rosemary & Rice Water collection for both in shower and styling products.

On my face and lips I’m liking Macrene Actives High Performance Face Cream, Serum, and Lip Filler. The line gives results and is packed with good for you ingredients.

My Essence is called a Toner but it does all the things. It’s Alleven’s Total Toner.

Lastly, for my girls that love budget find, She Glam’s Insta Ready Face and Under Eye Setting Powder Duo in Bubble Gum is an incredible under eye brightener. It will also lock your concealer in place.

FEELIN CHEEKY….

March 1, 2024 //

I had fun with GXVE Feelin’ Cheeky Clean Amplifying Blush Duo. It was nice to try out the different ways you could work with a blush palette. I used the Ex Girlfriend kit. I liked the it both when used as a single color and when combined. The pigment is deep/strong so you do not need a lot of product. I think this blush will last me over a year. I love the dimension the use of two shades allowed. I think it is great for all skin tones but darker skinned people will definitely appreciate the color pop. It lasts all day and night with no need for touch up. It took me a few uses to figure out how to get just the right amount on the brush for the look I was going for. It gives a lifted look where you want it and the shimmer attracts just the right amount of shine. The packaging is really eye catching and looks great on my vanity.

FOUND A NEW FAVE…

Exponent’s Time Rewind Retinol Power System. I love this product for many reasons and it will be my go-to Retinol moving forward. I first love the innovative system. The airtight containers allow the perfect dosage and activation of the product. One dispenser is a powder and a separate one is a Quadruple Hyaluronic Acid Hydrator. Stamp them both in your hand, mix for 5 seconds, and you get the perfect product. It is patented and ground breaking. Products loose their effectiveness and freshness as soon as they are opened. This packaging allows you to have a “first time” use with each use. The other thing I loved about the product is how quickly it sinks into my skin. It has a lux feel and immediately penetrates. I didn’t feel like product would be wasted ending up on my pillow at night. My skin took to this right away. I had not reactions or sensitivity. I can’t wait to try their Vitamin C!
