Spring Beauty Faves
Tuesday, March 11, 2014
I recently acquired a few more "can't live without" items in my beauty repertoire that you might enjoy, too. Also wanted to mention a new favorite site... Mom turned me onto BeautySage a few months ago and so far I've been very happy with the selection and items ordered, including several of these. Definitely worth a peek.
Now, onto the products:
Lollitint - Benefit stains are the bomb dot com. Posietint and ChaChatint have been long time favorites and Spring 2014's new Lollitint is so Radiant Orchid inspired my inner hue guru could just squeal. For a warmer weather glow, it's absolutely lovely on cheeks and it gives lips the prettiest pop when paired with gloss.
Essie Play Date - another Radiant Orchid homage. I'm so NOT a purple gal, but something about this fresh lilac/lavender shade is right on.
Black Soap - Strange, but awesome. My face feels squeaky clean but not stripped. Use as a soap or a mask!
Rose Body Oil - I've been big on body oils since the end of last summer. After trying a few, this one definitely rose to the top (see what I did there?). Applied on damp skin, it moisturizes like a dream. The floral scent is divine; fragrant enough to please the nose, yet faint and fades quickly so it won't interfere with perfumes.
Scotch Polish Remover - This product could also be called, "the marriage saver polish remover." Technically, it's been a chiller weather beauty fave since at some point this dreadful winter I realized I couldn't torment my hubby and his sensitive smeller with traditional polish remover any longer. I took a chance on this one and holy mackerel, why'd I wait so long before trying a non-toxic version?? Spritz once or twice (trying to hit most of the fingers at once), let set a few seconds, then swipe. Fragrance free, gentle, and has saved many a mani argument. (Just be sure swipe nails with an alcohol pad before painting as it does leave an oil-like residue.)

Favorite Face Washes
Monday, February 20, 2012
Let's talk face wash, foams, scrubs and suds! I rotate between a few favorites, here's the scoop.
Sad fact: I still get breakouts and I'm not getting any younger. Denial ain't nothing but a river in Egypt... so I might as well kill two issues with one cleanser that contains anti-aging and anti-blemish properties. (Can I get a "woot!"?) On top of that, my skin is super oily so when it needs extra exfoliation I love Olay's pore minimizing scrub. It's fresh scent and gentle suds make my skin feel squeaky clean. To make matters more bogus, sometimes my face feels dry despite my oil producing pores. To keep a healthy balance I use Purity in the morning - the non drying and hydrating formula and feel ahmayzing with the Clarisonic Mia. (I love the Neutrogena with the Mia as well but I avoid any cleansers with exfoliating beads or scrubs, as they feel too harsh paired together.)
What are you skin care issues and how do you solve them? Am I the only one who chuckles at products made for 'normal' skin? I guess I'm just jealous!
Spring Beauty Faves
Wednesday, April 7, 2010
I made a few spring beauty product purchases lately and these are 2 I'm loving:
A pink pop lipstick
Flirt HIGH WATTAGE Intense & Creamy Lipcolor # 13
(It goes on bright & fun. Looks like it's sold out online!)
(It goes on bright & fun. Looks like it's sold out online!)
An at home facial peel that combats dullness, lines and wrinkles, uneven texture, age spots and enlarged pores? Sign me up! I just started this system last weekend and I'm using it every 3 days. (My Mom turned me onto this back in December, I finally got around to purchasing a set of my own and wish I would've done it sooner, mother knows best!) The tingling isn't bad at all & my face feels squeaky clean afterward.
And here are a few on my wishlist:
For my super oily skin, warm weather makes it worse!
Another oily skin problem, constantly creasing eye shadow.
Supposedly, this stuff is the bomb! (Thanks for the tip Tricia!)
I'm not a fan of the dry shampoo sprays, they just make my hair feel wierd. I do frequent the old baby powder trick and I'm loving this tinted powder idea! I bet it smells nice, too!
For a summery glow. Or as Benefit says "a sugar rush flush" - sounds good to me!
What are your spring beauty faves this year?
