Five New Beauty Finds

 I've recently tried a few new products that I am loving and thought I'd share!

One

Estee Lauder Double Wear Stay-in-Place Foundation. This stuff is so great! It's full coverage but feels so light on your skin. Not like most full coverage foundations that feel heavy. It also really does last all day! It's amazing! I can't say enough great things about it. It's a little pricy at $42, but so very worth it.

Two

Estee Lauder Double Wear Instant Fix Concealer. This concealer is awesome!  On one side there's Hydra Prep serum for an instant hit of hydration. Helps smooth fine, dry lines and lets concealer glide on smoothly and blend seamlessly. On the other side, there's an extreme wear concealer that lasts 24 hours!

Three

CeraVe Skin Renewing Night Cream. I had never used a night cream before, but recently got into the habit of taking my make-up off at night before bed. I know I should have been doing that all along, but just hadn't forced myself to take the time to do it. My skin is feeling so much better since I've made this a habit and I'm loving how this night cream hydrates my face and has really helped with dry skin.

Four

Redken Color Extend Blondage Color Depositing Purple Shampoo. This was highly recommended by my hair stylist and I'm so glad I tried it. For someone with blonde, color treated hair, this is a must. It really helps to keep the blonde color from fading and it keeps the brassiness at bay.

Five

Mario Badescu Cleansing Milk with Carnation and Rice Oil. This face cleanser is so soft and gentle on your skin. If you have sensitive or dry skin, this is such a great cleanser. You can even use it on your eyes to get your eye make-up off. It's great and doesn't dry out your skin like so many cleansers do and what makes it even better... it's only $12 a bottle!

Do you have any must-try beauty products you'd like to pass along? I'd love to hear about them.



A Few Ipsy Favorites!

I've been signed up for Ipsy since January of this year and I'm loving it. It's so fun to try new products and I love that little surprise gift to myself every month for only $10! So I thought I'd share a few of my favorite products that I've received through ipsy this year.

First is this fabulous Glacial Face Wash made by Skyn Iceland. They are a Vegan and Cruelty Free company and this face wash is amazing. I had a couple pimples on my chin that I could not seem to get rid of. After only a week of using this face wash they had started to go away and it wasn't too long after that, they were completely gone. Since I've been using it daily, I haven't had any more break-outs! So amazing! I love this face wash so much, that I decided to try a few of their other products and I'm loving them too.

Next, I just got this eye liner in my bag this past month and I love it! It's the Precision Tip Eyeliner in black by Steve Laurant. It goes on so easy and straight. I just love it.

Third, is this amazing 10-in-1 Hair Primer from Eva NYC Mane Magic. Its a one stop shop for so many things. This primer does it all: detangles, nourishes, strengthens, softens, cuts drying time, adds shine, reduces frizz, and protects against thermal, environmental and UV damage.

I just love this blush by theBalm! The color is Cabana Boy. It goes on easy and doesn't crumble and get all over the place like so many other blushes I've tried do. You can also get it at Kohls, which makes things easy. I'd really like to try some of their other products too.

I'm really liking this True Cream Aqua Bomb by Belif. It is so hydrating, but doesn't leave the skin feeling oily. It goes on nice and smooth and feels and smells so nice.

Last, but certainly not least is this amazing eye lash primer and mascara from Lancôme. My eyelashes immediately looked better from the first day of using it and now after over a month of using it, I can tell my eye lashes are longer and fuller than they were before. The primer is called CILS Booster XL and the mascara is called Definicils. They are both amazing, but I especially recommend the primer.

 

So these are just a few of my very favorite products that I've tried in the last few months from ipsy! I highly recommend trying ipsy. For only $10 a month you get to try 5 new items and you get a cute little cosmetic bag every month as well. It's such a great way to try and find new products that you may not even know about. Here's my referral link if you'd like to give it a try. You won't regret it. :-)
