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. 

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. 

has never disappointed me. Tatcha continues to have some of the best products out there and the prettiest packaging. Lately I’ve been using their The Deep Cleanse Gentle Exfoliating Cleanser and the best selling Violet-C Brightening Serum. The cleanser gently removes all makeup and dirt while minimizing excess oil and uncloging my pores. It is gel like and turns to a creamy foam. The Violet-C is 20% Vitamin C with 10% AHA’s. This is designed to brighten and strengthen skin for a more radiant look. The directions say to use it at night but I used it in the daytime after the Tatcha Essence and followed with moisturizer and sunblock. Check out Tatcha, they won’t let you down. 

in my skincare. This past month I have been using and loving Raw Beauty Co’s skincare line. The line is designed to give you smoother, younger looking skin without the use of harsh chemicals. They use the “world’s most exotic ingredients, organic tropical botanicals, herbal infusions, and essential vitamins & minerals.” My favorites in the line are the BalancedBeauty Serum and Brightener as well as the Beautiana Daily Cleanser & Remover. The serum is a Vitamin C base that exfoliates and brightens. It is enriched with Niacinamide, hyaluronic acid, and plant and fruit extracts. Skin is left balanced, hydrated, and protected. I use the Beautiana cleanser day and night. It is very gentle yet removes dirt and makeup. It’s enhanced with conditioning properties to soothe and tighten skin. I recommend checking out the whole line. Natural skincare has come a long way. 

you need to relax. I am loving this unique find. It is MegRhythm’s Gentle Steam Eye Masks. They come in Lavender, Citrus, and Unscented. I got mine from Ulta. This single use eye mask uses inovative technology to heat up instantly. The steam warms and soothes tired eyes, and aids in relaxation. It’s great for the bath, travel, or in bed. All you do is open the sealed pouch the mask comes in, and the heat starts. I think it’s a really nice hangover aid as well.  So get with Megrhythm, and don’t let them know what you got into last night ;)….

talking about Typology. I love this brand. Read my previous review here. I have been using two of their face masks, and loving the results. The Purifying mask with charcoal and organic nettle is great. It uses sebum regulating stinging nettle, mattifying pine charcoal and purifying green clay. Your skin is left deeply cleansed with reduced sebum. What I love most is it does not make a mess. These days all my charcoal and clay masks seem to leave my bathroom a disaster zone when I take it off. This one easily and quickly comes off. I am also using the Peeling mask with organic red fruit acids. It is a gentle chemical and mechanical exfoliator that instantly renews skin. I never use mechanical exfoliators but I find this one it be ultra easy on the skin. It is designed to unclog pores and give skin a glow. The power ingredients are Blackberry, Blackcurrant & Raspberry Acids, PHA, and Cranberry Powder. It revives dull tired skin instantly. So mask up with this hot French brand, and get your skin ready for a date with a hot French friend ;)….

This month I have discovered two cleansers that are instant favorites. I was impressed with both on first use, and will continue to buy them both. I am crazy about Indie Lee’s Brightening Cleanser. This gentle, foaming, cleanser completely removes makeup and dirt without drying out your skin. It is made with Strawberry Seed Oil, hydrolyzed wheat protein and Tomato extracts. You can leave it on for 5 minutes to use as an exfoliating mask. Skin is left brightened and softened. I am a huge fan of this brand in general. Every product is made from high quality ingredients that blend the best of nature and Science. The second cleanser I’ve gone crazy for is Bare Minerals Pure Plush Gentle Deep Cleansing Foam. Just a pea sized amount provides enough lather to deep clean your entire face. It uses mineral rich sea salts, rosemary, and elderflower to brighten and refine skin. This cleanser even removes my eyemakeup. Both of these brands deliver instant results. So get dirty, to get clean again…

to soothe a lot with EpiMD. EpiMD is a moisturizer developed for mature skin crated by Dr Amy E Newburger. She is a dermatologist with many 65+ patients. She was inspiried to create a product to fight age related dryness. I do not have mature skin, and yet, my body loves it. The Moisturizer contains a unique blend of ceramides and botanical oils. It is designed to hydrate skin as well allow skin to retain it’s moisture. It is gentle, non greasy, and fragrance free. It’s easy to purchase on Amazon. So get silky skin with EpiMd, and keep everyone guessing just how young you are….

OldFashioned-2
with Shalia Botanicals. This product line has treats for every part of you. These small batch CBD infused products are designed to create total wellness, inside and out. I have been using their Old Fashioned CBD Tincture and Vibrant Face Wash. I take the CBD at night before bed to help relax and ease into sleep. This particular one is aged in authentic Kentucky Bourbon Barrels. It literally tastes like an Old Fashioned cocktail. The Organic Vibrant face wash is gentle and effective. It is designed to clean, hydrate, and create a healthy microbiome to your skin. So get with Shalia Botanicals and bring the zen inside and out…

and I got one! The Volo Hero Quick Dry Towel. I love this product. I’ve used many specialty hair towels before and none have impressed me like this. Wet hair is vulnerable hair. Regular towels can cause breakage. This is an extremely soft microfiber towel. It is gentle on your hair while absorbing 10x it’s weight in water. What I love most is how long it it. I have very long hair, and it usually is too much for a hair towel. This one allows it to all fit, and has a cool strap in the back to keep your turban in place. It is said to reduce dry time by 50%. I definitely noticed a much quicker dry time. So save your hair and your time with Volo, and be your own hero….
