by BeautyBio has been a great find. The Eyelighter Concenrate with Vitamin C & Plant Powered-Retinol is for both day and night eye-skincare. I prefer to put it on with my ring finger and then massage it in with the cooling metal tip. It is lightweight and designed to function as a primer as well. Your eye are is left brightened, hydrated, and protected. I think it will be great for all skin types.
this months new favorites. I have a new favorite Vitamin C serum. It is Poems From The Lab Future Focus. It uses 15% Ascorbic Acid and Ferulic Acid as well as Glutathione related Amino Acids. It feels amazing upon application. It comes with a cool squeezy tube to make sure you get every drop.
I have also found an outstanding Hyaluronic Acid. Elizabeth Arden’s Hyaluronic Acid Ceramide Capsules Hydra-Plumping Serum.This is HA on acid. Like adding velvet to your skin.
Lastly the world’s best BB Cream. Laura Mercier’s Long Wear Tinted Moisturizer Natural Dewy SPF 30 with Hyaluronic Acid. This gives coverage, hydration, and a natural-luminous glow.
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.
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.
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.
Here’s what I’m into this fall. First I have a favorite new mascara. It is Smashbox’s SUPER FAN LASH LENGTHENING MASCARA. For “modern fanned out volume”. This mascara lengthens, separates, curls, and adds major volume. It is the only mascara that does not transfer on me. I am obsessed!!!!
One of my favorite brands of 2024 is DRMTLGY. I am using their Universal Tinted Moisturizer SPF 46. This lightweight moisturizer protects from sun damage while giving you a filtered look. It works well under makeup.
I have been trying out many eye creams and found I really like It Cosmetics’s CONFIDENCE IN AN EYE CREAM ANTI-AGING PEPTIDE EYE CREAM. It feels hydrating and protective.
For makeup I have found that Morphe’s Micro Brow Dual-Ended Pencil & Spoolie. This is easy to use, blends easily, and stays all day.
Last but not least is Elf’s Camo CC Cream. This is full coverage. It stays in place all day, and stays matte. It has SPF 30 protection. I can’t wait to try their other foundations now.
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.
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.
with Klairs Freshly Juiced Vitamin E Mask. I use this mask as my nightime moisturizer. I have been layering it over a Retinol serum and they seem to combine beautifully. It is desinged to also enhance the effects of Vitamin C so go ahead and layer with a C serum as well. The power ingredients are Niacinamide and Adenosine. The feel is that of a gel cream. I love this brand, and this has been my fave find from them.
skincare. Intoxicated Skincare is a brand “based on ectothermic animal venom, plant-based stem cells, and a number of active biomimetic peptides and natural ingredients, in an effort to bridge the gap between topical serums and injectable solutions.” I tried each of their serums (Bee,Snail,and Snake). They can be used alone or mixed together. I love how lightweight they are. They do what a serum should- sink into skin fast and absorb quickly. I also loved the Antidote Moisturizer. It has a lux feel and is super lightweight. The line leaves skin hydrated with an even tone. The site will help you pick which is best for you. Check it out and pick your poison…
finds this month all smell great. I have to new body washes I’m currently using. First is Cosmedix’s Body Clean. It has a beautiful cucumber smell, and the gel lathers well. It has Niacinamide and Galactoarabian to moisturizes skin and helps improve the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles.
I am also using Tree Hut’s Watermelon Foaming Gel Wash. Great smell, great lather, you’re left with a clean fresh feeling.
The two amazing smelling moisturizers I’ve been using post shower are Dionne’s Goat Milk Body Lotion in Lavender Blossom and Celia’s Creme Rose Body Lotion. Both are lightweight and fast absorbing.
Breathe in and look great….
I was surprised by how much I liked PÜR Beauty’s Cloud Cream Gel-to-Water Hydrating Essence Moisturizer. I have tried many “gel to water” moisturizers and I haven’t noticed anything special about them. This is the first one that one that truly gave me an amazing experience. It’s lightweight, absorbs fast, and hydrates as promised. It worked fabulous under my makeup and sunscreen. I will continue to use this year round. I believe all skin types, sexes, and ages will benefit. The Gel to Water solution is extra great for oily skin since it leaves no residue. I would use sunscreen with this product since it has encapsulated retinol. I am a fan of the simple packaging. This line is clean beauty without the annoyingness that sometimes comes with clean brands.
