Hey There! Check out my roundup of 7 Beauty Products I’m Currently Loving including some hair care and skincare products as well!

Hey Friends! It’s been awhile since I’ve shared some of my beauty favorites. So I’m excited to share my roundup of 7 beauty products I’ve been loving over the past few months.

7 Beauty Products I’m Currently Loving

Pixi Beauty Glow Tonic // Y’all know I love me some Pixi skincare products. When they sent out their 20 Year PR package, it included their Glow Tonic. It’s seriously a cult classic in the Pixi Beauty world, so I was super excited to give it a try. I’ve tried several other toners that have worked really well, but I found they dried out my skin more than I cared for. This toner is complete opposite because it’s so hydrating! It contains aloe vera, ginseng, and botanical extracts that help nourish and treat the skin. It’s super gentle even with it containing 5% Glycolic Acid. It’s suitable for all skin types and it doesn’t irritate my rosacea which is also great. So if you’re looking for a gentle and great toner that exfoliates your skin without drying it out, give it a try! I use it three times a week in the PM.

L’Oreal Lash Paradise Primer // I’ve been using the Lash Paradise Mascara for about 2 years now and love it! I had seen a few other bloggers talking about how great the primer was in addition to the mascara. Before that I honestly never thought about using a lash primer but I thought what the heck! I apply one coat to my lashes and put my mascara on before it completely dries (I’ve also applied it when it dried and had no issues). I can say that I have seen a huge difference in my lashes when using this along with the mascara. It helps separate, lengthen and thicken lashes like crazy!

Grande Lash Enhancing Serum (Travel Size) // About two years ago I decided to getting lash extensions to be able to wake up with long beautiful lashes. I’ve never had short lashes by any means but I loved how lash extensions looked. Well long story short…after deciding to stop getting them, I felt my lashes were not the same and so short. I’ve been using this for the last month (off and on) and noticed that my lashes are getting longer and much thicker. It’s a little pricey being $34 but it’s well worth it!

Tarte Base Tape Primer // I love their Face Tape foundation, so I was really excited to try this primer. It contains coconut, jojoba and grapeseed. It’s a little more liquid like than what I’m used to with my Smash Box Primer. Though it’s more liquid like, it absorbs really quickly. I found that my makeup stayed on really well with the primer (states to extend the wear of foundation for at least 12 hours). I love that it gave my skin a really healthy glow and feels so smooth on my face. My makeup also looked so pretty! Seeing that I typically am oily in my t-zone, some oil did peak through but nothing bad. It works on all skin types but I think this would be really great for those with dry skin.

Pixi MatteLast Liquid Lip in Berry Beauty // I love a good liquid lipstick but sometimes I find the matte ones are way to drying. I was shocked that this one was actually not drying but more hydrating. It dries really quickly once applied! It’s super pigmented and for me it lasted for several hours (through drinking & eating). I love the shade!

Amika Bust Your Brass Shampoo & Conditioner // Seeing that my hair is very blonde, I hate having any brass like tones show through. I like keeping my color fresh and bright. My hair was starting to look a little brassy due to it being almost two months since I had my hair done. Seeing I had my eye on these for awhile, I deiced to finally purchase it. It has def helped make my hair brighter and less brass like. The formula is thick so you don’t have to use a lot of product because it lathers well. It smells really nice too!

I hope you enjoyed some of my recent beauty favorites!

Skincare is something that I have always found to be so important, especially more so now with me getting older. I take all types of measures to make my skin look more youthful and glowing. I’m a skincare junkie, so I’ve tried out a lot of different brands/products. I’ve used some great products and some that have just been awful. So of course I am super picky with what I use.

If you follow certain bloggers like I do, I’m sure you’ve seen a ton of them raving about how great Tula products are. I was introduced to Tula back in 2016 when I attended a blogger brunch and received some sample size products of theirs. I loved both products but did not purchase more after that (because I had so many products on hand already). Fast forward to November 2019, I kept seeing some of my favorite bloggers talk about their cooling eye balms. I decided to purchase the Glow Getters gift set that included the eye balm. So if you’ve been wondering if Tula truly is worth it, I’m here to share my thoughts with you today.

About Tula

All Tula products contain probiotics which is beneficial in so many ways! I’m sure you’re thinking wait…probiotics…don’t we use that for our stomachs? Yup we do but Tula thought why not use it to help nourish and balance the skin. Probiotics helps promote hydration, reduces inflammation, targets signs of aging and gives you a healthy glow. Their products are free of harsh chemicals, parabans and full of natural ingredients that give you that healthy glow.

My Skin

I typically have always had oily skin but once I got rosecea my skin can be a little dry on my cheeks. Thankfully I have found an awesome product that has helped my skin be super hydrated (non Tula product). I haven’t found that my skin is super sensitive with my rosecea but some products I’ve tried out have made it flair up. I occasionally also get hormonal break outs when aunt flow comes to visit.

The Glow Getters Kit $88

Cult Classic Purifying Face Cleanser // This cleanser is so gentle and moisturizing! Though its gentle don’t let it fool you with how well it works with taking dirt and makeup off. In the mornings, I apply a dime size amount to my face while in the shower and during the night I take about a quarter size amount in the palm of my hand (I wear full coverage makeup most days). It lathers really easy, which is a plus because you don’t need much product to clean your face. I love that it does not make my skin feel tight or dry. It has also helped reduce the redness from my rosacea significantly, which has been amazing especially on those days when it flairs up. My skin has never felt so soft after using a cleaner. It contains ingredients that help cleanse, exfoliate, hydrate, firm and reduce inflammation. Its good for all skin types, especially dry skin. If you’re looking for a super gentle cleanser that doesn’t strip your skin, this one is so awesome.

Face Filter Blurring & Moisturizing Primer // I really love how glowy my skin looks when using this primer. It does a great job of making fine lines less noticeable and my skin does look more smooth. When you first squeeze it out of the tube it is white then when you rub it on your face, you see the glow particles that gives a warm glow. I used this primer with the Charlotte Tilbury AirBrush Flawless foundation and loved how my skin looked. I will say that due to me having skin that is more on the oily side by the end of the day, the foundation had peeked through a little, so I would have to use a more matte foundation. It didn’t really bother me because the foundation was still in place for the most part, though I could see some imperfections showing. (Picture below using the primer and Foundation-with no filters).

Rose Glow & Get It Brightening & Cooling Eye Balm // Y’all I purchased this kit just to get this product. I had seen so many bloggers talking about this eye balm and how amazing it was. I know there are mornings that no matter how much sleep I get, my under eye area is still puffy. When I saw that it helped reduce puffiness and brightened the under eye area, I figured why not give it a try. It works wonders when it comes to de-puffying and brightening! I swipe a little bit of it under my eyes before I put on my makeup, blend out, let it dry and apply my makeup as usual. As soon as I apply it, I can instantly feel the cooling happening. It contains rosehip oil, rosewater, caffeine, aloe, apple, watermelon and blueberry. This product can also be used as a highlighter! Seriously get you one! (they also have that does not contain rosehip oil).

Star Bright Nourishing & Brightening Face Mask // I love me a good sheet mask! This one was super soothing and moisturizing. It was easy to apply and I kept it on for 10 minutes. Once I took it off my skin looked so refreshed and was super soft.

There is no denying that I am addicted to buying eye shadow palettes. Today I am excited to be sharing my review of the Tarte Unleased Palette. This palette has quickly become a staple in my makeup routine. I’ve shared it a ton on my Instagram because it’s just that good of a palette (I’m sure my followers are tired of seeing it. Lol). It’s such a fun palette that isn’t typically what I reach for but I thought what the heck, just buy it. So here I am sharing all about it.

The Tarte Unleashed Palette has 14 shades with a mixture of mattes and shimmers. You can create so many looks with this palette rather it be an everyday look to something more bold. All of the shadows contain Amazonian clay, mineral pigments and vanilla. The palette also smells like chocolate (it’s not overpowering)! I also really love that it comes with a mirror, which makes it super easy to use anywhere you go.

The formula of the shadows are awesome! They are very pigmented and they blend out with no issues and I experienced very little fall out when I applied them. I really liked that the mattes were not chalky when I did the swatches, which is a plus in my book. Granted some matte shadows are chalky when you swatch them but perform great when applied. The matte shades were just as creamy as the shimmer shades.

Top to Bottom: Swan Song, Oh Deer, Hippocritical, Bear Neccessities, Koalified

Top to Bottom: Toucan Do It, No Fox Given, Iguana Love You, Irrelphant and Toad-Ally

Top To Bottom: You’re Lion, Monkey Business, Camelflauge, Hawkward and Party Animal

Again this palette is one of my new favorites that I have been constantly reaching for. I love the different shade range in the palette. My favorite shades are Toucan Do It, No Fox Given, You’re Lion and Party Animal. Tarte added another amazing palette into the mix that is well worth purchasing. I hope you enjoyed this review!

What are your favorite shades in the palette? Do you own any Tarte palettes?

Hi Friends!!! I can’t believe that we are half way through August! I’m not complaining though because I am ready for all things Fall! How about yourself? Are you looking forward to Fall or still wanting to hold on the Summer a little bit longer? I recently tried out some really great beauty products and I couldn’t wait to share with y’all. Hopefully you’ll try some of them out and love them as much as I have.

Charlotte Tilbury Magic Cream $64 (30 ml)// Now this is one pricey item for sure but I seriously can not get enough of it! My brother in laws gf has been obsessed with CT for quite some time and she raved about this cream (her skin looks amazing all the time). I have tried a ton of other really great moisturizers for half the price, so I went back and forth about purchasing it. I decided to make the purchase because they had a hydration kit for $99 that included the magic cream and night cream. I figured that was a pretty darn good deal for both.

Once I started using it my skin was so soft and moisturized. I had found that even though with other moisturizers that I loved, my skin was still a little dry around my cheeks because of my rosacea. With this cream it has brought back so much of the moisture that my skin had lost. There are days were I wear it by itself or I wear it under my primer before applying my makeup. I find that I have no issues with it making me look oily, as it is very light weight and a little bit goes a long way. Needless to say I am happy that I decided to purchase it.

L’ANGE Violet Toning Shampoo $25// I have used their regular purple shampoo and conditioner and loved how well it kept my hair from turning brassy. This product came out at the perfect time as my hair was in a little bit of a brassy funk (not sure why. I was using some other shampoo and conditioner). I knew I needed to order this product after seeing some great reviews from others who had used it. With only one use my hair was so much brighter and a lot of my brass had been eliminated. It does say wear gloves when applying the product because this stuff is potent (in a good way). I however, do not wear gloves because I use it in the shower but it can slightly make your hand purple (it comes off easily). So if have blonde hair like myself get you some of this! It’s amazing!

Too Faced Peach Mist Mattifying Setting Spray $32// I received this in a kit for my birthday (which I shared about the primer here). I love a good setting spray and I’ve always loved Too Faced products. I used the spray when I celebrated my friends birthday and it worked very well! My makeup did not budge after dancing and gambling for over eight hours. Seriously my second choice when it comes to setting sprays (UD is always going to be my #1).

IGK Mixed Feelings Leave In Blonde Drops $29// I picked this up awhile ago on a trip to Sephora but it got lost in all the beauty products I have stashed. Seeing it had been over a month since I had my hair colored, I needed a little pick me up. I used these drops before blow drying my hair and it helped make my hair brighter.

Pixi Peel & Polish $24// Pixi skincare products have recently become some of my go to products. The polish and peel is extremely gentle and a great way to spoil yourself with an at home facial. I use it 2-3 times a week to help exfoliate and get rid of any dead skin. It makes my skin look softer, smoother and brighter. If you love facials, you need to try this out! The best part about this is it’s super affordable!

Drunk Elephant Jelly Cleanser $32// I got a travel size of this for my birthday at Sephora. I use a dime size and lather it up under water, as a little bit goes a long way. I love that it’s extremely gentle on my skin and washes away my makeup with no issues. I also feel that it does not strip my face which is a huge plus! It is a little more on the expensive side for what I typically pay for a face wash but seeing I am a huge skin care lover, I might just purchase this on my own.

Have you tried any of these products? What have you been loving lately?

Hi Friends! Is anyone else finding it crazy that July is half way over? I have been trying a ton of new products over the last few months and figured I was overdue to share. Y’all know I’m constantly trying out new products because I’m a beauty addict and because I want to share the best products with y’all. Here’s what I’ve been loving lately.

Tarte Face Tape Foundation $39 // I am a huge fan of their shape tape concealer so I knew I had to give this foundation a try. My go-to foundation for the past few years has been Estee Lauder’s Double Wear Stay-In Place foundation. The formula is not thick like the shape tape concealer and the stay in place foundation. I will admit I wasn’t sure how I felt about it at first but after using it a few times, I fell in love with it. It’s full coverage but looks so natural on the skin, giving my skin a very healthy glow! It is a matte finish but I would say it’s more demi-matte. I have combination skin and when my face is on the more oily side, it stays on with no issues. I pair it up with their face tape powder. Seriously if you like full coverage foundation, try this one out.

Too Faced Primed & Peachy $34 // I had gotten this in a gift set for my birthday, so I was excited to see how well it worked. It’s a mattifying primer that has cooling properties and it also helps brighten your complexion. Despite it being a mattifying primer it has a very light feel to it and helps soften your complexion. It feels so good on the skin with the cooling effect and keeps my makeup in place.

Kopari Coconut Melt $28 (for 5 oz)// I’ve used other melting balms before and enjoyed them. I had purchased this a while back but never used it until about three months ago (I had other balms to use up). I love that it was super gentle when it came to removing my makeup and left my skin feeling extremely hydrated. It also smells amazing! The great thing about this melt is that it can also be used as a hair mask, moisturizer, shaving cream, etc. Well worth the money because a little bit goes a long way, so it lasts for awhile.

Pixi Beauty DetoxifEye Hydrogel Under-Eye Patches $24 // If you follow me on Instagram, you know I have shared several times about how much I love these eye patches. These are a huge lifesaver when my under eyes need a pick me up. They contain hyaluronic acid and caffeine which help smooth, depuff and aids in reducing dark circles. They are very cooling which also helps decrease puffiness (I put them in the fridge to give them a little extra cooling). These are a great steal for the price seeing they contain 30 pairs.

Moxie Lash (Sassy Lash Kit) $75 // I know you’re probably thinking $75 for lashes? The kit contains one set of lashes and magnetic eyeliner. I went round and round about purchasing these because I wasn’t sure if they really worked. I did some research after they had been out for a while and I took the plunge. I love wearing false lashes but honestly hate dealing with the glue. I was extremely surprised with how easy the liner is to apply and once the liner is dry, the lashes go on with no issues. I did a wear test to a concert where I was dancing all around and they did not move. I’ve seen others splash water on them, etc and they held up. Moxie Lash does claim that you can use the lashes up to 30 times and the liner up to 90. So I do believe that they are well worth the price, especially if I don’t have to deal with the pain of the using glue.

Moroccanoil Dry Shampoo Light Tones $26 // This is the second dry shampoo I have ever used. I have been stuck on using my ride or die Dry Bar dry shampoo since September (first time I had ever used dry shampoo). When the Sephora sale came around this was one product that was highly recommended to try out. I have been using it for the last month and I can say that I may love it more than my dry bar. It is a lot lighter on the hair as far as formula is concerned. I honestly do not feel that I put anything in my hair when I use it. When I use the dry bar one, I can say that my hair has a little bit of grit to it (nothing bad) but def a difference. I will say the one thing I wish this one had was a little bit of volume to be added to the formula. They have one for dark tones as well, which has gotten great reviews.

I hope you enjoyed this round-up of beauty favorites I’ve been recently loving. I’ll be sharing a lot more products I’ve been trying out soon!
