I’ve added some additions to my beauty vanity this month. Summer means skins, and here’s how I’m taking care of mine;

At night I’m washing my face with Peter Thomas Roth’s 3% Glycolic Solutions Cleanser. It is anti-aging & exfoliating. It removes my makeup and any excess oil. The Glycolic Acid shrinks pores, improves clarity and reduces fine lines. 

For day and night Eye Cream I’m using Park Perfection’s 2 in 1 Instant Eye Lift. It’s designed to tighten and lift the eye skin while reducing wrinkles and puffiness. It uses minerals, peptides and antioxidants to balance and enhance skin around the eye. 

I was overdue for a new foundation brush. I am very happy with NYX Cosmetics Total Control Drop Foundation Brush. It’s designed for liquid but i’ve used it with my powders as well. It blends perfectly. I love that is it angled to get around every curve of your face. 

I am obsessed with Macadamia Professional Nourishing Repair Oil Spray. It’s officially summer, which means I’m not drying my hair. I let it air dray and then add this spray for a finished look. It has an ultra fine spray and instantly adds shine, moisture, softness, and uv protection. It says to use on wet hair, but I’ve been using it on both wet and dry. 

quickly with Completely Bare’s ctrl+hair+del Facial Hair Removal Cream. I was sent this product to test, and I didn’t have facial hair to test it on. I realized the targeted applicator was the perfect design for touch ups. I am horrible at shaving and always miss spots.  This product removed unwanted hair quickly and easily. It is infused with Argan Oil, Aloe, and Cocoa Butter to help moisturize and condition skin. It does have a pungent hair remover smell though. So take it off with Completely Bare, and leave it off….

Windle & Moodie. This line is an extension from the brand’s award-winning salon in Covent Garden, UK. I have been using their Shine & Smoothing Oil with UV Protector. It is a supercharged blend of apricot, camellia, and argan natural oils. The Camellia oil is from the Jeju Islands in the South Pacific. It is known to calm the scalp, and promote hair growth. This oil smooths and nourishes your hair. It is left silky, polished, and controlled  It contains a blow-drying agent to tame fly-aways as well. Use it on both wet and dry hair.

right after I apply my favorite foundation. Lately I’ve been going back and forth between two liquid foundations that I love. The reason they have become my favorites is because they are lightweight, long-lasting, matte, full coverage, and easily blended. The brands are Fenty’s Pro Filt’r Soft Matte Longwear Foundation and Huda Beauty’s FauxFilter Foundation. The Fenty comes in 40 shades and is made with climate adaptive technology to resist sweat and humidity. It does not clog pores and is oil free. Huda Beauty’s velvety coverage comes in 30 shades. It dries to a matte powder while leaving you with a luminous finish. It is enriched with Argan Oil and Centella Asiatica to hydrate. So get with one of these luxury foundations, and give the instagram filters a break…

Instead they are loaded with Sweet almond oil, sunflower seed extracts, jojoba oil, coconut oil, olive oil, argan oil, shea butter, and lots more good stuff.

from Burt’s Bees. I am loving their Facial Cleansing Oil. It is 100% natural, made from a blend of Coconut and Argan oils. It dissolves dirt and makeup, leaving your skin clean and soft. This cleanser is gentle yet effective. So get clean with Burt’s and get dirty with….

It has many products to make that switch easy. “Live Clean harnesses the beautifying power in plant-based ingredients to create gentle and effective products that are safe for you, your baby, and the environment at an affordable price with all products under $5.99.” I have been using the Hand Soap and Body Wash.  The Argan Oil Hydrating Liquid Hand Soap uses 100% pure argan oil, with certified organic botanicals of grape seed and olive leaf extract.

for Macadamia Haircare. Macadamia oil contains the highest amount of Omega 7 than any other nut oil. Omega 7 most closely resembles human hair sebum and thus mimics the scalp’s natural oil production. It is lightweight and non-greasy with no build-up. The line is free of harsh sulfates, and are color-safe, paraben-free, gluten-free and cruelty-free. The products contain a Pro Oil Complex, a unique blend of Macadamia and Argan Oils to nourish and repair hair from the inside out. I’ve loved every product I tried. My favorite is the Nourishing Moisture Oil Spray. It can be used on both dry and wet hair. It is an ultra fine mist that instantly absorbs in the hair. It adds major shine and softness, without the greasyness and weight of most shine sprays. It also offers uv protection. So go nutty with Macadamia hair, and have the refined results you desire ….
