Today’s post is a very simple one and way overdue. I have a bunch of beauty products, new and not so, that I’m just absolutely enjoying at the moment, and I’d love to share them with you!
one // let’s start with fragrance. i usually prefer spray perfumes, but this little roll-on oil by Herb & Root is my new favorite thing to use! the fuji musume fragrance smells like wisteria blossoms and yuzu citrus, a combination that’s both uplifting, fresh, and light. it makes me feel as if standing in a japanese garden! i love how the bottle is easy to carry in your purse and use on the go!
two // my current favorite skincare product for cleansing/exfoliating is dermalogica’s “daily microfoliant.” although its gentle enough for daily use, i only use it 2-3x a week during my morning routine for noticeably brighter and smoother skin. it’s rice-based powder activates upon contact with water, releasing Papain, Salicylic Acid and Rice Enzymes to polish skin. it feels gentle on my skin and even a little bit of the powder goes a long way.
three and four // for coverage, i love using jane iredale’s facial primer and brightener, “smooth affair,” and the “glow time” mineral BB cream foundation with SPF 25. The BB cream helps make my skin look bright and clear because it covers redness, disguises discoloration and fine lines. you can control how much coverage you want, which is nice if you’re going for a more natural look. available in various shades. the primer of course preps the skin, but also helps minimizes the appearance of pores and helps make my skin look more radiant and smooth.
five // face masks – this Squalane + Glycolic Renewal Facial mask is my current favorite anti-aging treatment. If you’re looking for a product that renews, smooths, and hydrates your skin, this is a fantastic mask that helps improve skin texture! I use this 1-2x a month for maintenance. It feels creamy but not too heavy on the skin and is made with glycolic acid, multi-alphahydroxy acids, squalane, and hyaluronic acid.
six // face masks – if you can’t tell already, I love face masks. Another one of my favorite products is REN’s Glycol Lactic Radiance Renewal Mask. I use this mask as a little “pick me up” when my skin looks dull and needs a little boost! With a blend of glycolic, lactic, citric, and tartaric acid, this mask helps exfoliate and restore a healthy-looking glow to skin. It also smells like orange starburst.
seven // lashes – everyone’s been talking about Rodan & Field’s Lash Boost serum this past year because it really makes your natural lashes go VA-VOOM! I started using this back in October 2017 but saw a significant difference even after two months. if you have short lashes and/or don’t want to use falsies, this nightly serum will give you the volume you’ve always wanted.
I order Lash Boost through my Rodan & Field’s consultant, Haley Silverman. If you’d like to get your hands on this product too, you can reach Haley here: hayleysplace3@hotmail.com
eight // hair – deep conditioning mask – i love Briogeo’s Don’t Despair, Repair! hair mask. my hair can get pretty dry during certain seasons so I try to use a deep conditioning mask 1-2x month to help with hydration! it feels creamy and luxurious and makes my hair feel super soft after. also, this is a nice pampering treatment if you’re ever in need of a spa night at home.
