by BeautyBio has been a great find. The Eyelighter Concenrate with Vitamin C & Plant Powered-Retinol is for both day and night eye-skincare. I prefer to put it on with my ring finger and then massage it in with the cooling metal tip. It is lightweight and designed to function as a primer as well. Your eye are is left brightened, hydrated, and protected. I think it will be great for all skin types.
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.
like Versed Skincare’s The Purist Antioxidant Cleanser. It is a soap free cleanser designed to gently remove dirt, oil and impurities. I tried it as a morning and evening cleanser. It has become my current “in the shower” cleanser. I love the look of the rectangular square blue bottle. I prefer that it is plastic, so when I drop it it’s not a travesty. The gel like cleanser foams up quickly and easily washes away whatever is unwanted, yet it leaves skin’s barrier in tact. Skin is left soft and hydrated with the boost of conditioning antioxidants. It is unscented and perfect for both sexes. I think all skin types will like it.
here’s what I am playing with this month…
Alastin Skincare’s HA Immerse Serum. It’s lightweight, absorbs quick, great for layering, and sits well under makeup. It’s won some awards, and Alastin is a skincare company you can trust.
Dior Addict Lip Maximizer Plumping Gloss. Everytime I think I found my favorite gloss, I fall in love with another. This is definitly a top 3. I have it in Pink 001, and it is perfect. The right amount of shine, no stickyness, and great hold.
I pair the above gloss with the perfect Nude Liner I found from ColourPop. It’s their Lippie Pencil in BFF. It goes on smooth and easy, and pairs with any nude lip or pink gloss.
Stay tuned for what March brings…
n skincare. I am confident in recommending Versed Moisture Maker Hydrating Hyalronic Serum to anyone looking to pick up a good HA. It contains Snow Mushroom and polygutamic acid. Polygutamic acid is said to hold 4 times its weight in water, and it’s bringing all that to your skin. This HA Serum has a gel like texture. A little goes a long way. The recommended amount is two drops from the dropper. You will press it into the skin, not rub in like a cream. Allow some time, around 2 minutes for it to absorb, and then follow with moisturizer. The Versed Vitamin C moisturizer goes perfectly with it. It is not sticky and does not negatively effect makeup. The price point is great for the quality it delivers. It is a 1oz bottle that seems like it would last a minimum of six months.
U Beauty skincare. I have been using their Resurfacing Compound. This product and brand have a cult following and I can see why. This serum is designed brighten, tighten, even out, and resurface skin. It is a clean beauty product and leaping bunny certified. The key to how this product works is the “Siren Capsules”. The Siren Capsules “deliver age-reversing ingredients to the most vulnerable areas of the skin while avoiding the exposure of harsh actives to areas that don’t need treatment. The result? Healthy skin maintains its integrity and realizes visible improvement, while dryness and irritation are avoided. By stopping free radicals in their tracks, SIREN Capsules prevent visible signs of damage and aging.”
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 this month’s skincare and makeup finds. This month I’ve switched things up with some fabulous finds. I have been using Ren’s Ready Steady Glow Daily AHA Tonic. It has a delicious cucumber smell. It uses Lactic Acid and Salicin(BHA) to exfoliate, brighten, tighten and hydrate. It’s gentle enough to use every day.
In the morning I follow that with Lancome’s amazing Renergie HCF Triple Serum. It’s and anti aging serum with Hyaluronic Acid, Vitamin C, Niacinamide, and Ferulic Acid. This serum feels luxurious. It’s designed to improve volume loss, reduce wrinkles, and brighten dark spots. It has a unique triple chamber packaging to combine ingredients in the perfect balance.
My makeup find is Kosas’s Air Brow lifting treatment gel. I use this in the daytime for a natural yet enhanced look. It adds volume with a soft flexible hold. Kosas is a clean beauty brand, and this gel is boosted with hair care actives to help brows grow and thicken. It has biodegradable plant based microfibers for fullness and volume. Panthenol Provitamin B5, Biotinoyl Tripeptide-1, Trehalose, and Hyaluronic Acid for Brow health. It’s the perfect not too dry not too wet brow product.
Maelys has you covered. This skincare line specializes in the often overlooked places. It is a company based on female empowerment to help you feel good inside and outside. The products go through rigorous clinical trials and they have before and after pictures for proof. I have been using their B-Tight Lift & Firm Booty Mask. It is designed to fight the look of cellulite and visibly firm the look of skin. It’s called a mask, but you leave it on, and apply twice a day for best results. You will immediately feel a warming sensation. It definitely feels like it’s working right away So get with Maelys and tighten that booty while you drop it low…
