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.

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.

some people think eye cream is unnecessary. I strongly disagree. I also think this is one of the products you should put money into. Lately, I am enjoying Doris Day MD’s CE+HPR Eye. This is to be used at night, because it has retinol in it. They have also included Vitamin C & E. It is designed to cater to the delicate skin around the eye. It will go to work on fine lines and discoloration. If you want an active eye cream, give this one a go…

I absolutely love COSMEDIX’s I Complex Advanced Eye Gel . This may be my new favorite eye cream out there. The packaging is fabulous. You can lock and unlock the top to preserve the product and not let any slip out. The tip has five metal rollerballs on it. It gives a lovely massage to the eye area and helps product penetrate. I like it much more than other “eye massage” tips I have tried with other brands. The gel itself is perfect for the eye area. It is light and instantly absorbs into skin. I found it worked perfectly under my eye makeup. I love that it uses Bakuchiol instead of Retinol. If you have sensitive eyes, or dry eye Retinol is not advised for the skin in that area. I felt an overall hydration and brightness.

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. 

and be good your skin, with Beyou Skincare. The entire brand is built around “self-love and empowering ambitious people to be themselve”. A part of the proceeds from every order goes towards funding women’s education in underrepresented industries.  The line is clean, cruelty free, paraben free, and phthalate free, and helps protect from blue light damage. I have been loving their Caffeine Eye Cream. It is fast absorbing and designed to firm and brighten the eye area. It uses Hyaluronic Acid tot hydrate, and caffeine to revive and illuminate the eye area. It is great for all skin types. So get and give with Beyou Skincare, no one needs to know how late you went to sleep ;)….

with Fountain of Truth age defying, clean beauty line. The line uses a Super Bio-Ferment Complex, which is their way of using effective fermented botanical ingredients. Fermented ingredients can be broken down into smaller molecules which can better penetrate the skin. Fountain of Truth was created by Giuliana Rancic after she was diagnosed with breast cancer. She wanted a completely clean line that would also effectively fight aging and other skin concerns. I received three of their products from influenster. I love the skin nutrition booster kit. It comes with three facial serums to treat your needs. B: Bright is for an outer glow and uses vitamin c, B: Hydrated is full of hydrating ingredients for softness, and B: Calm is to soothe stressed skin. I also love the Magic Wand Sculpting Eye Roller. It is a weightless eye cream that uses probiotic derived ingredients, caffeine, and green tea. The wand has cooling rollerballs to stimulate circulation. The Fresh Face Foaming cleanser will remove makeup and dirt, while keeping skin soft.  You can find the line at Ulta. So get with Fountain of Truth and let the magic of clean beauty be your truth…

yes Schique. Schique skincare by Dr. Jacqueline Schaffer. I have been using their Insightful Contour Eye Cream and Intuitive Restoration Renewing Mask. The line uses naturally based and scientifically proven ingredients. Each product uses Dandelion, their key ingredient. It is known for its diverse therapeutic properties and its ability to give women that radiant glow. All of the products are vegan, gluten-free, cruelty-free, sulfate-free, and paraben-free. The fragrance is made from 100% pure essential oils. The eye cream fights discoloration, fine lines, and wrinkles. It will brighten, tighten and smooth the skin. The mask contains exfoliating beads that change color from white to blue while being messaged into your skin. There is a slight tingle to the mask, which shows it’s tightening and toning.  Your skin is left soft and hydrated. So check out Schique beauty and be like their products, smart and beautiful…

in your skin care. Neem is known as the pharmacy tree. It is used in many traditional ayurvedic health and beauty products. Neem extract has naturally high sulfur content that acts as a building block for collagen. I am loving Sundari’s Neem Eye Cream and Night Cream. The word Sundari means “an essential part of a lifestyle that enables you to achieve harmony and balance in mind, body and spirit as you journey through life.”  Therefore, the line believes in  Ayurvedic principles based on an ancient eastern philosophy with the finest quality ingredients from nature, delivering a holistic approach to wellness that results in outer radiance and inner serenity.” The Eye Cream helps reduce puffiness and dark circles, while nourishing and hydrating the skin. It’s infused with Neem, Guto Kola, Aloe vera, Mango Seed Butter and Triphala. It is lightweight, with a luxurious feel. The Night cream is rich with Shea Butter, Neem, Jojoba Oil, Squalan, and Sodium Hyaluronate. All Sundari products are free of synthetic fragrances and Dyes. As well an being on comedogenic and dermatologist tested. So hurry up and Hydrate with Sundari, you Neem it 😉
