I’m rolling into this month with a bunch of new finds. First is the Honey Banana sheet mask from TWOTSP. This Korean sheet mask uses Manuka Honey and Bananas to reduce bacterial growth and fight signs of aging. It hydrates, brightens, and balances. 


At night I’m caring for my under eye skin with Estee Lauder’s Advanced Night Repair Eye Concentrate Matrix. It reduces the look of fine lines and leaves skin firmer and more nourished. I love that it’s lightweight yet effective.

I’m caring for my hair with Loreal’s new Everpure Sulfate Free Glossing pH balanced Shampoo and Conditioner. It leaves hair silky and shiny. The line is anti fade and UV filters to be gentle on color treated hair.

I love going over my dry hair with a few drops of Typology’s Repairing Hair Oil with Acai 5% + Hibiscus. It is a lightweight dry oil that controls and softens hair. This is the finishing touch your hair needs.

On to the body, I love Soap and Glory’s Magnificoco Drop In The Lotion Body Lotion. I love the smell and it absorbs quickly.

Lastly I’m using Sally Hansen’s Insta Dri X Peeps Collection in White. It dries so fast and only needs one coat.

Stay tuned for what I get into this April…

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. 

I’m caring for my skin this spring with 2 cucumber products I can’t get enough of from Azaki Organics. Azaki is a small batch, clean, skincare company with “results driven products”. I use the Cucumber + Niacinamide Toner to calm and soothe skin after cleansing. It helps to prevent environmental damage, and acne. The Niacinaminde helps to minimize the appearance of pores, fine lines, and uneven tone. Twice a week I use the Cucumber + AHA Jelly Mask. This mask cools and hydrates to revive tired skin. It is designed to exfoliate and soften. It helps to stimulate collagen production as well. So check out Azaki Organics if you want simple, clean, products that do what they promise, can’t say the same for your dates….

Everyone loves Glow Recipe, because the brand is high quality, and fun! At Glow Recipe they believe “what’s not in the formula is just as important as what is.” The entire line is clean, cruelty free, free of parabens, sulfates, and phthalates. I have been using their Avocado Melt Retinol Eye Sleeping Mask. It uses encapsulated retinol, coffeeberry, and niacinamide to moisturize, brighten, de-puff and fight fine lines. The use of encapsulated retinol allows less irritation for the delicate eye area. It releases slowly so the benefits work longer. You can use it during the day, but you must layer sunscreen over it. I notice an instant brightening when I apply it. This rich creamy lotion feels luxurious, not heavy. So put on some Avocado Melt, and get more out of your bedtime ;)….

my skin serums. That is why I have been using Asterwood Naturals Matrixyl 3000 + Argireline Peptide + Vitamin C. The name tells you what’s in it, but it also starts with a base of Hyaluronic Acid. It is designed to increase collagen production and create smoother, tighter skin. It will work on your sun spots and fine lines while evening out overall tone. If you still haven’t jumped on the serum movement, this is a good one to start with. So get gentle with Asterwood, and save the rough stuff for something else…

charcoal into your beauty routine. I use Gold Mountain Beauty’s Activated Charcoal Facemask. It is all natural and for all skin types. It uses coconut activated charcoal, bentonite clay, aloe vera and a blend of flower extracts. The charcoal draws impurities from the skin to help fight breakouts and acne. Black Pearl protein is used to improve skin’s elasticity, smooth wrinkles and reduce fine lines. I also love their Tuxedo Natural Teeth Whitener for Sensitive Teeth. It  whitens,detoxifies, fights bacteria, cleans teeth and strengthens enamel.They offer a money back guarantee. So what are you waiting for? Get activated with charcoal, and get it girl…

SleepItOffMask_0814-510x600

with ClarityRx Clinical Skincare. I love this innovative line. I have been using their Sleep It Off Mask this past month. I love that it is a natural retinol alternative, and I love that you actually feel it working. It is designed to be used for 21 nights straight. You apply it liberally as you would a mask. It immediately starts to transform to a nourishing moisturizer. You feel a major warming sensation for about five minutes. This Blue Green Algae Extract formula targets rough texture, dark spots, fine lines, and loss of elasticity. It contains a combination of B Vitamins, amino acids, and Ginger & Orange extracts. So wake up to smoother, clearer skin with ClarityRx, and see what else you can get done in bed…..;)
