another day another amazing drug store Mascara find. I’ve recently gotten into Maybelline’s The Falsies Lash Lift Washable Mascara. This gives major lift, separation, and definition. It does not transfer and lasts all night. I find this to be as wonderful as high end brands. Speaking of high end- I found a perfect winter lip for me. In the winter I like to go with more than my usual gloss.

I am using YSL’s Loveshine Balm in Pink Sunrise. This gives a small amount of color with a wonderful feeling of hydration. It has a beautiful satin finish. Lastly, I was devastated when my beloved

Tom Ford Traceless Foundation was discontinued. They’ve come out with an almost as good new product called Architecture Soft Matte Blurring Foundation. It’s light weight, medium coverage, and long wearing. 

are yours with Provence Beauty’s Soft Bisous Plumping + Smoothing Lip Mask. This has become my new favorite lip mask. I absolutely love the applicator. It is a plastic curved tip that hugs every inch of your mouth for perfect and precise application. The product is strong without being too heavy. It is great for daytime or overnight use. My lips were immediately hydrated and over a few days I noticed a visible plumpness. The packaging is cute and looks great on your cosmetics shelf.

with Theraderm’s Brilliance Boost Resurfacing Pads. These pads are professional grade as they offer 20% of the effective exfoliant. They are soaked in Lactic and Mandelic acids to provide exfoliation. These easy to use pads are packed with ingredients for clarity and brightness. The directions say they can be used up to three times per week. My skin showed no irritation so I think I could have added a few more days. I noticed a bit of a boost in the evenness to my skin. The jar contains 50 pads. One should definitely avoid sun exposure while using these treatment pads. I used them on my neck and chest as well since there is plenty of product per pad. 

Kiehl’s Midnight Recovery Omega Rich Botanical Night Cream. I pretty much love every Kiehls product I get my hands on, and this one is my favorite of all. This nighttime moisturizer is a perfect mix of ingredients and lux feel. It moisturizes deeply with Omega 3 Oil, Omega 6 Oil, Squalane, and fatty acids. The texture is a light cream with a hint of oil to it. I felt it protected my skins barrier and did not rub off on my pillow. It is absorbs into skin and has a calming lavender scent. I love locking in my serum with this product.

Makeup Revolution’s Rehab Line Fix Under Eye Primer.  This product has solved my biggest makeup issue, which was under eye concealer creasing. This lightweight product easily glides on and provides the perfect base to keep your concealer from creasing. It is designed to reduce the appearance of fine lines as well. It’s only $12 at Ulta.

I have a new favorite foundation and it’s expensive. Tom Ford’s Traceless Soft Matte Foundation is lux! It is medium to full coverage and feels like nothing on the skin. It has a matte finish with light diffusing microspheres to blur any imperfections. The foundation is infused with Hyaluronic Acid, Vitamin C, E, and Caffeine to plump and care for your skin. It lasts all night and will work in humid environments. If you want to spend the money this is it!

to other sunscreens but my favorite face sunscreen is now Megashade Breakout Proof SPF Serum from Zitsticka. This lightweight sunscreen is made with radiance boosting ingredients. It will block UV rays and neutralize free radicals. It is specialy formulated for sensitive and acne prone skin. So don’t worry about it clogging pores and causing breakouts. It is a chemical/mineral hybrid that provides broad spectrum SPF 50. There is no white cast or pilling. So keep up with your sun protection with Megashade and say bye to burnt, broken out skin….

is definitely Charlotte Tilbury’s Magic Vanish. It is a color corrector that is designed to brighten under-eye’s and any other off colored areas. It works amazing alone, or underneath your under-eye concealer. It’s extremely lightweight and easy to use. I use my ring finger to tap and blend it into skin. Try this once, and it will become your new favorite.

I was pleasantly surprised by how much I liked Cosmedix PHA Hydration Peel. It is designed to exfoliate skin, while brightening your complexion. I noticed upon application a slight tingling sensation. Not like a burn at all, more like a lovely cooling “it’s working” feeling. It comes off easily with water. My pores looked tighter and my complexion looked even. It seemed to have lifted some deep in the skin issues to the surface (in a good way). The next morning I noticed soft skin, and a continued even complexion. Though it is said to be gentle enough for all skin types I recommend not following it with any strong skincare. Stick to hydrators and oils verse retinols and acids. It says to use at night so it likely makes your skin more sensitive to the sun.
