to pick a favorite lip gloss. I have different favorites for different seasons, times of day, occasions, outfits, etc. While I can’t name a fave, I must talk about Tarte’s maracuja juicy lip plumping oil with hyaluronic acid. This gloss is so good. I have it in rose. It is super hydrating and very glossy. It’s full of good for your lips ingredients. I wear it alone and layer over lipstick.
call for a new body wash. I have been using Naturium’s The Glow Getter Multi-Oil Hydrating Body Wash. This body wash cleans and moisturizes skin. It gives great lather and comes in a nice pump bottle.
After the shower I’m either applying Sunnee BAEskin BAEside Self-Tanning Sea Mousse for a gorgeous glow. It is hydrating, fast drying and gives the perfect bronze. I’m also obsessed with their BAEside Hydrating Sea Mist Tanning Water.
or I’m glamming my skin up with Patrick Ta’s Major Glow High Shine Skin Perfecting Body Creme. It gives skin a healthy sheen while hydrating with a blend of butters and oils. It smells amazing. Their Major Glow Hair and Body Mist is really good too.
Haus Labs By Lady Gaga. There’s a ton I like from this line. Currently my favorite is their Tricone Skin Tech Hydrating + De Puffing Concealer with Fermented Arnica. This concealer is lightweight while giving full coverage. It feels hydrating and is easy to blend. The ingredients are designed to help with under eye dark circles as well as blemishes. I found it doesn’t crease as much as my previous favorite concealer. If it’s good enough for Gaga, it’s good enough for me….
this August. I found some new products that I am really enjoying. The first is DRMTLGY’s Luminous Eye Corrector with SPF 41. This may be my favorite find of the year. It is a color corrector with SPF. It works so well you may not need concealer with it. The good news is it lays beautifully under makeup. It is packed with good for you ingredients. I like to apply it with my finger.
Next I’ve gotten into Lancome’s LIP IDÔLE SQUALANE BUTTERGLOW HYDRATING LIP BALM in keep it Glowy. This is a barely there, lip enhancing product. I like to use it for a no makeup look. It feels hydrating and soft.
Lastly I am using Neutregena’s Rapid Wrinkle Repair Retinol Pro+ .5% Power Serum. This serum absorbs super fast and is extremely lightweight. It fights wrinkles and dark spots. I layer a heavier moisturizer on top.
Stay tuned for September Super Stars….
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.
Clarifique Exfoliating & Hydrating Face Essence with Glycolic Acid. This product brings the best of both worlds together. They hydration and blancing of an essence, with the exfoliation of Glycolic Acid. It will exfoliate and nourish skin. I use it as part of my night time routine. It will help your skin better absorb the products you use on top of it. It has a water like consistency that immediately penetrates the skin.
I love SKIN1004’s Hyalu-Cica Water-Fit Sun Serum SPF50+ PA++++. I live in Miami, so of course I wear sunscreen every single day. This one really impressed me for many reasons. There is absolutely no white cast. It almost goes on more like skincare than sunblock. It gave my skin a matte look, which is wonderful because I have somewhat oily skin. It sits nicely under makeup, with no pilling. The cream is hydrating as appose to many sunscreens that make skin dry. It is lightweight and breathable. I I love the use of Centella Asiatica, which is there to moisturize and combat redness.
for your face. I love Kosterina’s Extra Virgin Hydrating Face Oil. In the past I would have been concerned about using Olive Oil on my face. After getting the brand education and using the products I am all about it. What I love most about this oil is how light and absorbent it is. I personally use it as the last step in my night routine. I put it over my moisturizer after it has been applied for at least an hour. It is that extra special step to lock in moisture and wake up radiant. It has very little shine should you choose to use it in the daytime. Skin feels supple not wet. It has a light herbal, lavender scent. I think all skin types would benefit from this product especially dry skin. I will definitely be taking it on all my winter travels this year, hello ski season!
I love Antedotum’s Essential Daily Sunscreen. This hydrating facial sunscreen surpassed all expectations. It has broad spectrum SPF 30 UVA UVB and HEV protection. It is loaded with antioxidants to aid in skin’s look and feel. It goes perfect under makeup. It has a light color to it that blended perfectly with my skin. It is also fragrance free and reef safe. The hero ingredient they use is Aspen Bark Complex, which conditions and protects. The packaging is gorgeous enough to leave out on your vanity. As a Beauty Editor I am constantly sent free product. I have plenty of sunscreens in my beauty closet, however when this runs out I will definitely be repurchasing it. It is incredibly lightweight, and doesn’t feel like it clogs pores.
with your purchasing power. It’s easy with Gen See Beauty. This clean makeup company makes products that are sustainable and created ethically. I have been using their Spectator Sport Mascara and Clean Sheen Lip Gloss. I didn’t have high expectations for the Mascara because in the past “clean mascara” has let me down. I was wrong! My favorite thing about it is that it does not transfer. I have long lashes and all mascaras leave black on my brow bone. This one did not, even in extreme humidity. It lengthened, Curled, and Separated as well. There was zero clumping, it’s waterproof, yet easy to remove. My favorite thing about the Lip Gloss is the applicator. It perfectly covers your lips in this super hydrating, clear gloss. It’s major shine with zero color. Their website goes into detail on every ingredient in the cosmetics as well as the packaging. Don’t you wish everyone was as transparent…
