Current Faves | Beauty Edition
Hi guys! Happy hump day!
I love trying new products; so much so that I’m subscribed to a beauty subscription box. I’ve recently (as in, within the past 3 months) added some new beauty products into my routine that I have been LOVING, and wanted to share with ya’ll! I’m very much into them so let me just spill:
A facial steamer. This may be ghetto, but before purchasing this I would just boil some water and hover over the stove. It’s not pricey at all and does exactly what it needs to do.
Malin + Goetz Mojito Lip Balm. Do you like chapped lips? I know I don’t! This lip balm does a great job of keeping my lips soft and hydrated, and has a consistency similar to a lip gloss. It’s thick as well. (I was going to say just like me, but I’m going to move along.)
Charlotte Tilbury Setting Spray. This setting spray will keep your face on even if you wear a mask! When I’m really trying to slay all day (do we still say that?), I’ll spray it on before I apply my foundation and then when I’m completely done with my makeup and my face literally does not move.
Moroccan Rose Shea Sugar Scrub. So this product isn’t really new to me, but this scent is. I typically lean toward the vanilla one because….yum. But I decided to try this one out and it smells amazing. Very fragrant, so if you aren’t into that stay away. I love this brand though because I feel like it’s realllly getting in there and working to get my skin silky and smooth.
Burberry Brit Eau de Parfum. So this one isn’t new to me either but it smells FIRE. Ladies, I’ve gotten so many compliments from men about this scent. And men, buy this for your lady! I love warm smells, and this one has hints of pear, almond and vanilla. Perfect for day or night.
Fenty Skin Hydra Vizor Invisible Moisturizer Broad Spectrum SPF 30 Sunscreen. This, along with the other products in my skincare routine, gives me glass skin. This moisturizer is lightweight, and the packaging is super cute. And hello, SPF!
Fifteen12 Signature Milk Silk Bonnet. I recently got a silk press and it lasted a month. A MONTH. My silk presses usually last two weeks but I really attribute it to me sleeping with my fan on at night and this bonnet. It has a double layer of satin so it keeps your hair protected from split ends and breakage, in comparison so a cotton scarf or pillow.
Codage Paris Micro-Peeling Mask. Let me just start off by saying this smells expensive…and it is. It’s a little tingly, but your skin will look amazing after using it. This rinse-off mask is made with fruit acids from blueberry, maple, lemon, and cane sugar and acne-fighting salicylic acid that together help remove impurities, dead skin cells, and toxins, brighten dark spots, minimize fine lines, and more. (That’s what they said on the site and I believe it!)
TRESemme’ Between Washes Fresh & Clean Dry Shampoo. Remember when I said I kept my silk press in for a month? Well that last week my hair began to weigh down. One of my homegirls recommended this product to me and it literally worked wonders. My hair had a little more bounce and it smelled nice again.
Dr. Dennis Gross Skincare Alpha Beta Universal Daily Peel. I don’t really struggle too much with my skin, but anything I can do to improve the texture or overall appearance I sign up for. My friend who has hyperpigmentation told me she noticed a huge improvement in her skin, so I decided to try it out. Literally within a few days I noticed a difference. My skin looked brighter and smoother. If you have basically $90 to put toward your skincare routine, invest. Seriously.
