Anisa Beauty’s Pinnacle Foundation Brush is the best foundation brush I have ever used. It leaves an even, airbrushed, finish. It pushes product into the skin keeping it where you want. The triangular dome allows a flawless application around every feature. The brush hairs are soft and densely packed. I feel there was no waisted foundation being sucked into the brush instead of on the skin. If you care about your cosmetics you should care just as much about your beauty tools. Great tools really make a difference. I am also obsessed with their concealer brush. All Anisa Brushes are Vegan, which in my experience works better than natural hair. I love the purple color of the handles. The whole line looks great on your vanity.

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. 

banana! I have yet to try a Kadalys product I haven’t liked. Kadaly’s Organic Pink Oil Banana Glow Booster Serum is another great product in the line. It is called a serum and an Oil. To me it is an Oil and should be used as an Oil. Though it says you can layer moisturizer on top of it, I’m not sure the actives like Retinols would seep through? You need very little of this product for majorly hydrated skin. I live in humid Miami and was able to layer makeup on top of it. I’m excited to bring this up north on vacation to fight the dry winter weather. It is designed to fight aging, free radicles, and uneven skin tone. I enjoy the scent, and love the color. I love that it is clinically tested as well as vegan, organic, paraben free and cruelty free. Remember two drops does the job. It’s easy to go to heavy with this.

There is nothing not to love about Vacation sunscreen. It smells amazing. I would call it “musky tropical”. The only thing this product doesn’t have for me is the degree of protection I prefer. I like 50 and higher. That being said, the 30 did a great job protecting my skin.  It is broad spectrum which is a must. Never use a sunscreen that is not! I like that it is non aerosol, yet has a continuous spray. The spray works at all angels so no problem doing your back and legs etc. The feel is lightweight, with no stickyness or white cast. It is completely transparent and layers well. I like that it uses coconut oil, aloe, vitamin e, shea oil, and Banana extract. It’s a vegan brand you can feel good about using. Check out their instagram and website, it’s really cute. 

in my skincare. I have been using Attitude’s Super Leaves Micellar Foaming Cleansers. Their Super Leaf extracts clean and moisturize your skin. The face wash removes impurities without drying out skin. The line is EWG verified an vegan. So give and get Attitude, your skin will thank you…

with my new favorite makeup brushes only! I have recently found two new faves that make my foundation and concealer look flawless. The brush I am using for my concealer is Varenti Beauty’s Pro Liquid Foundation Brush. I use a very thick concealer for under my eyes. Unfortunately it has always creased on me throughout the day. This stopped when I started buffing it in with this brush. It uses high quality bristles that are vegan and cruelty free. The hairs are secured in a special way to avoid fiber loss and keep its shape. 

For my foundation I have been using Morphe’s M439 it is a full, domed brush, that has the density to apply foundation evenly and flawlessly. It leaves your skin looking airbrushed. So brush on the glam with the best in the game.

with August & Monroe’s Calm Cream. August & Monroe was created by a makeup artist who personally suffers from sensitive, acned skin. This moisturizer is soothing and hydrating. The lightweight gel texture quickly absorbs and goes great under makeup. I recommend checking out the before & after pics on their website. I love the packaging. The bottle keeps product air locked and is refillable. The cream is fragrance free, paraben free, clean, vegan, and cruelty free. So get with August & Monroe and give your skin some zen….

with Biography Face Oils. They have four active oil blends designed to deliver real change to your skin. They are completely clean, vegan, and sustainable. I have been using these oils at night after my serum to lock in moisture and add major hydration. The Golden Ray Glow Drops enhance radiance, boost collagen and improve elasticity. It’s designed to blur fine lines and highlight with a sunlit glow. The Long June Everyday Drops are formulated to calm skin and clear any redness. Lastly, The Petty Grudges Renew Drops is made of a blend of restorative actives to rejuvenate, and soften, dry and damaged skin. So turn the page on bad skin with Biography.

Shine lip gloss with Patricia de Leon’s Sexy Shine Lip Gloss. I have it in Angel. It is the best feeling lipgloss I have ever used. It’s super light, and extremely silky. There is zero stickiness, or oiliness. I don’t feel the need to constantly reapply.  The line is vegan and cruelty free. So pucker up to PDL Cosmetics, and kiss the sticky, heavy, glosses goodbye…

when it comes to face masks. I love mixing them myself, and you don’t have to worry about them expiring and drying out. This week I started using Terra Beauty’s Matcha Sea Clay Dry Mask. Terra Beauty is a 100% natural, peta approved, vegan, clean cosmetics line. It is owned by 3 sisters that are first generation Brazilian Americans. They grew up on the farms of Brazil and Italy and took that knowledge into their beauty products.The mask uses microfined matcha, green tea, sea clay, white kaolin clay, and vitamin e. So mask up with Terra Beauty, and help renew your skin before you have to put that other kind of face mask on…
