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….

BKS….

I know why Decorte is Japan’s best kept Secret. Their products are terrific. I am in love with their Liposome Advanced Repair Cream. As a Beauty Editor I am constantly trying different night creams that all claim to be the best there is. It is unusual for one to stand out to me as being really different. This product stood out! I think it’s Japan’s La Mer. The texture is creamy yet cloud like. It is heavily hydrating yet not greasy. There is a slight moisture left to the surface so I would not wear during the day, especially if you wear makeup. This cream is designed to be the last step in your beauty routine. I occasionally added a few drops of Oil over it to indulge, however completely unnecessary. You awake to soft, happy skin

POSITIVELY PLUMP…..

Lip Gloss from Mally. This gloss is shiny and lightweight. There is no tackyness, and it lasts (for a gloss). I love the applicator. It grabs the perfect amount for application, and the pointed tip allows you to be exact with placement. I loved the color on me, and think it would work well with most skin tones. It is a nice in-between of a berry and a pink. There is a light tingle when applied. I did not notice any plumping, however I have big lips so it’s not always evident. Lips are left hydrated, soft, comfortable. The gloss has Vitamin E, Rice Bran oil, Jojoba Seed and Sweet Almond Oils to soften and moisturize. I will be using this flexible nude from Summer to Winter.

EXTRA VIRGIN…

for your face. I love Kosterina’s Extra Virgin Hydrating Face Oil. In the past I would have been concerned about using Olive Oil on my face. After getting the brand education and using the products I am all about it. What I love most about this oil is how light and absorbent it is. I personally use it as the last step in my night routine. I put it over my moisturizer after it has been applied for at least an hour. It is that extra special step to lock in moisture and wake up radiant. It has very little shine should you choose to use it in the daytime. Skin feels supple not wet. It has a light herbal, lavender scent. I think all skin types would benefit from this product especially dry skin. I will definitely be taking it on all my winter travels this year, hello ski season!

USING BOTH ENDS…

of Laura Geller’s Dual Ended Concealer and Foundation Brush. I was pleasantly surprised how much I liked this brush. I was using what I thought was the best out there, but this did better with my heavy liquid foundations somehow. It is dual ended which makes it great for travel. The bigger, denser, side is the part of this brush that I love. It easily spread my foundation evenly and without the need of much pressure. I found the product did not stick too much to the brush, instead staying on my skin where I want it. The smaller angled side is for concealing. For me I did not find it worked well with my liquid concealer. However, I used it as a highlighter brush with fantastic results. Since it is angled and small and can get to those angles perfectly. I think both sides would be great for contouring as well.

SPRAY IT ON

I am in love with Kosas’s Plump and Juicy Spray on Serum. It is a genius idea for the category. The spray pump allows the product to gently get onto your skin in minimal or maximum amounts. My favorite thing about it is how it is perfect for layering serums. I have tried it as a first layer and second layer with serums and it combines beautifully. You should wait at least two minutes between layers to allow each product to absorb. There was no pilling under my makeup. It can also be layered throughout the day as a pick me up and hydrator. It even works over makeup. There is no scent and it is vegan. Kosas is clean beauty you can be excited about. The bottle is glass, it’s very barbiecore and looks great on my shelf.

PINK….

banana! I have yet to try a Kadalys product I haven’t liked. Kadaly’s Organic Pink Oil Banana Glow Booster Serum is another great product in the line. It is called a serum and an Oil. To me it is an Oil and should be used as an Oil. Though it says you can layer moisturizer on top of it, I’m not sure the actives like Retinols would seep through? You need very little of this product for majorly hydrated skin. I live in humid Miami and was able to layer makeup on top of it. I’m excited to bring this up north on vacation to fight the dry winter weather. It is designed to fight aging, free radicles, and uneven skin tone. I enjoy the scent, and love the color. I love that it is clinically tested as well as vegan, organic, paraben free and cruelty free. Remember two drops does the job. It’s easy to go to heavy with this.

SLIP IT ON….

Orpheus’s Resurrection Serum Slip Cleanser. It’s the perfect cleanser whether you want a deep clean or a gentle touch. To start with my favorite thing about this cleanser is that it can become a flash mask. Simply create a lather with a few pumps and leave it on for five minutes. You will immediately notice a deeper exfoliation. When used just as a cleanser it removes dirt and makeup. I would double cleanse or use an eye makeup remover when wearing a heavier beat. This cleanser uses amino acids to to exfoliate while a the gentle micro foam conditions and brightens. The ingredient highlights are not things you see in an everyday cleanser like, Orpheus Flower Cell Peptide Complex, Lime Pearl Extract, and a Bioactive mineral Complex. It is safe for sensitive skin and uses no fragrances, toxins, or parabens.

MY FAVORITE FIND OF 2022…

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.
