BE ABOUT BODY….

with Hempz. I have long been a fan of Hempz products so I was excited to get my hands on their Beauty Actives Citrus Blossom Herbal Body Serum with Vitamin C. I love the idea of body serums. Why not take care of all your skin as well as you do your face. I have been using vitamin C on my face for over fifteen years and I love that it is now easy to use on my body. This serum instantly absorbs into skin. I love the smell. It is strong upon application but dissipates pretty quick. I like to layer it under my moisturizer for the ultimate body care. It is great for to layer under sunscreen as well.

DROP IT GLOW….

January 14, 2024 //

There are many bronzing/illuminating products out there and most of them are not that great. They are often to shiny or glittery, or with a heavy consistency. Pacifica knocked it out of the park with their Sunny Glow Drops. There are many ways to use it. You can use it alone, or mix with products, have an all over glow, or detailed contour. I found my favorite way to use these drops is on its own over my moisturizer. It makes me feel great going “makeup free”. I put a few drops in my hands and rub them together and evenly distribute over my face. It gives a filtered, bronzed, glowey look. I have olive skin and the color was absolutely perfect. The added benefits of Vitamin C and Kakadu Plum make purchasing this a no brainer.

GLOW UP…

I really like Pacifica’s GLOW BABY Booster Serum. I personally incorporate vitamin c serum in my daily regimen. I take it very seriously because I think when done well the product can be a game changer. What I like most about this serum is the smell! It smells just like a creamsicle. It is an uplifting fragrance that adds joy to the routine. In addition to that wonderful smell the weight and speed of absorbency are perfect. It has a light consistency that feels heavy enough to coat but light enough to work into skin and play nicely with moisturizer and makeup. This serum also has glycolic acid. It was an adjustment for me as I realized I preferred it when not paired with an exfoliant. When I did it gave a slight sting that made me think it was too much.

EYE LOVE IT…

some people think eye cream is unnecessary. I strongly disagree. I also think this is one of the products you should put money into. Lately, I am enjoying Doris Day MD’s CE+HPR Eye. This is to be used at night, because it has retinol in it. They have also included Vitamin C & E. It is designed to cater to the delicate skin around the eye. It will go to work on fine lines and discoloration. If you want an active eye cream, give this one a go…

I AM ON A COSMEDIX KICK….

I am happy to report their Bio-Cellulose 4-piece Radiant & Rejuvenating Sheet Mask set does not disappoint. The box comes with two sheet masks for hydration and two vitamin c infused masks to Energize. It is important when you open the mask packet that you remove the top layer they call a “netting”. If I hadn’t read the directions I would have just put it on my skin thinking it was the mask itself. You let it sit on your face for fifteen minutes. I was able to walk around the house and do whatever I wanted. You don’t need to lay down, it sticks to your face very well. I like to go over the mask with my rose quartz roller to really make sure every bit of skin is covered and work the product in even further. I loved that when I removed the mask my skin felt like it had a serum on it, but not like a slime that needed to be wiped off as some masks will do

READY,SET, RADIANCE

I love Jason Wu Beauty’s Ready Set Radiance in Glow! This is my new favorite setting powder. I wasn’t sure I would like it because these days a lot of “illuminating” products are not for me. They are too shiny, greasy, or glittery. This powder gives you just a touch of glow, like you’re walking around during the golden hour permanently. It kept my makeup in place, and I did not get shiny throughout the night. It comes with a super soft powder puff that gives the perfect application. It allows you to press in the powder and be exact about where you want it. I love that it is infused with vitamin c and rosehip oil to give a bit of care as well perfection. I think all ages and skin types will love this product. I will definitely be buying this again.

I have a new favorite foundation and it’s expensive. Tom Ford’s Traceless Soft Matte Foundation is lux! It is medium to full coverage and feels like nothing on the skin. It has a matte finish with light diffusing microspheres to blur any imperfections. The foundation is infused with Hyaluronic Acid, Vitamin C, E, and Caffeine to plump and care for your skin. It lasts all night and will work in humid environments. If you want to spend the money this is it!

IT’S BRILLIANT

Cosmedix’s BrillianCy Vitamin C Brightening Face Oil is a great find. The directions advise you to use it as you would a serum or moisturizer, ie. put on dry skin after cleansing. I use this as I use all my oils, as a last step for major hydration and to lock in my serum and moisturizer. I do this only at night. It is designed to be used both day and night, but I think it is too heavy for day time. It smells great. A little goes a long way, you do not need a full dropper’s worth. I used the excess on my hands before bed and could feel the added smoothness in the morning. I have combination skin. I think this is best for combination or dry skin. So get your vitamin C, in an oil, how brilliant of you…

THIS BRAND…..

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.

THERE’S NO JUNE GLOOM….

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.
