EYE NEED MORE…

products for my eyes. That’s why I’m using The Body Firm line -Crepe Erase Lift & Smooth Eyelid Treatment . I have sensitive eyes and have had zero reaction to the product. The rollerball applicator is soothing to use. It gives a cooling feel to the eye area which is always welcome. The serum itself is lightweight and not greasy. You can layer the product with other eye creams if you choose, though I don’t find it necessary. The dry down time is fast so it is not an issue under makeup. I see this becoming part of my everyday routine. I think it’s a great idea to tend to the eyelid as well as the under-eye area.

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.

BRUSH UP ON BETTER TOOLS….

I have found a unique and outstanding foundation brush. Jems Foundation Brush is perfect for beginners and experts. This uniquily angled brush allows you to evenly blend foundation all over your face. It gets into every crevice and makes sure products is evenly distributed. I think it is great for thick foundations that you normally have to do some work to blend into the skin. It is soft and dense. It worked beautifully with both my liquid and powder foundations. I think it is also great for blending out contour. I can’t wait to try the rest of the brushes in this line.

SOFT BISOUS…

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.

LOVE AT FIRST SWIPE

March 2, 2024 //

I loved trying Winky Lux’s First Swipe Conditioning Lash Primer. This primer has multiple attributes that make me feel this will be my new “go to” for priming my lashes. First I love that it is designed to not only visually enhance your lashes but also add to their health with conditioning and strengthening ingredients. I loved the thinness of the wand. It allows for precise and thin application. I find a lot of primers to come out goopy and then end up giving clumpy lashes. This primer gave major extension however it didn’t affect the width of my lashes. It gives a natural look, not spider lash look. I noticed it also helped minimize any transfer which often happens to me. This is my new favorite lash primer!

FEELIN CHEEKY….

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.

LUX LIPS…

February 22, 2024 //

with Provence Beauty’s Pink Rosé Hydrating Tinted Lip Oil. I highly recommend trying this one out. The feel is ultra luxury. A lot of lip oils on the market seem just like regular glosses to me. This one stands out as a true lip oil. The feel is lux. It is soft and soothing immediately upon application. The color is gorgeous and I think a nice universal shade for all skin tones. It has the perfect amount of glisten without looking like you’ve got junk on your face. There is no stickiness. I love that it is packed with good for you ingredients but I would happily buy it just for the feel and look alone. The only negative thing if I had to search for one is that you do need to reapply. Your lips soak up the moisture and the initial glow fades a bit. This is a great lipstick topper, but for me I will be rocking this daily on its own.

SOMETHING SMELLS….

good!  It’s Juliette Has A Gun’s Juliette. First off I love the packaging. It’s simple yet stands out. I love the color combination of Red and Silver. The bottle is classy and stable. It looks great on my vanity and is not too fragile to be around other things. Now the smell! It is outstanding. It is different and will get you noticed but not in an overpowering way. To me it is a romantic, nighttime smell. It wears well and I found I could easily layer it. I tried it with a Vanilla perfume and it played very well. The notes that stand out are floral, musk, and jasmine. I think it’s a perfume for all ages and genders too. I could easily see a man using this as a cologne.

FOUND A NEW FAVE…

February 12, 2024 //

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!
