Beauty Products I Can’t Get Enough Of!

Posted on by

IMG_3459

Hello! It has been forever since my last post. I am so happy to share with you my latest obsessions in the beauty department. I have been trying lots of all natural beauty but I will leave that for my next post ;). I have noticed that the older I get the more simple and natural I like my makeup to look. I like my skin to look fresh and healthy without looking overdone. I will give you a little description/review of the products on the picture above…Ready?!

  1. TATA HARPER CLARIFYING MASK: This is a great mask and it is all natural and organic. It is an exfoliating mask but it can be used on sensitive skin like mine. You put it on for 10 minutes and then you remove it with warm water doing circular motions to remove dead cells and dirt. After rinsing your skin looks clean, bright, and your pores look tiny. I try to use it twice a week.
  2. HERBIVORE ROSE LIP SCRUB: I love taking care of my lips…We usually exfoliate our face and body but we ignore our lips completely unless it is time to put on some lipstick. I exfoliate my lips twice a week or whenever I feel they are dry and flaky. I grab a wet wipe and wrap it around my index finger. I grab some of the HERBIVORE lip scrub and start going at it in circular motions for at least 2 minutes. When I am done I rinse my lips and put on my magic lip balm which is the next product I will review. Your lips will feel soft, pink, plumped, and amazing. By the way HERBIVORE is an all natural skincare brand and their products and packaging are so amazing.
  3. RODIN OLIO LUSSO LIP BALM: Let me tell you guys…since I got this lip balm I wear it every day and every night. Since I’ve been wearing this my lips are soft 24/7. It is not a sticky lip balm and it has no color. It has a very subtle sheen because I do not like shiny lip glosses or lip balms. When I see the most difference is when I wear it overnight. I wake up and my lips look sooo amazing. Super plumped, full of moisture, and soft with that pinky healthy lip color. Run and get one!
  4. NARS CREAMY RADIANT CONCEALER IN CUSTARD: Like I mentioned before I hate the look of heavy makeup. I like the “makeup no makeup look” much better. This concealer goes on very smoothly because it is so creamyyyy…but it definitely does a great job at covering the redness under my eyes and any marks or pimples on my face without looking cakey or heavy. I bought it like 6 months ago and still loving it.
  5. CHANEL LE ROUGE CRAYON DE COULEUR IN BEIGE ROSE: This is such a beautiful nude color. Looks very natural and it is perfect to wear everyday. I like how moisturizing it is. Even though this formula is on the glossy side if you put it on your lips and then pad it with your finger you will get more matte look…like a stain look. Soooo cute!
  6. DIOR SHOW BROW STYLER IN UNIVERSAL DARK BROWN: I used to be obsessed with the Anastasia brow pencil. After using this Dior brow pen I love it so much. Perfect for defining my dark brown eyebrows. The color is so natural. It lasts all day and fits everywhere.
  7. DIOR LIP TATOO IN 491: I cannot get enough of this lip stain. Love the nude/mauve color because it enhances my natural lip color. Not drying like other lip stains. You feel like you are wearing a matte lip balm but with gorgeous natural color while hydrating your lips.

I hope you guys give some of these a try! Leave your comment if you have tried any of these…until next post.

Milk Makeup… I’m Obsessed!

I kept seeing this brand everywhere; Sephora, Urban Outfitters, Facebook…etc. I needed to find out what the fuss was all about. I bought the mascara and the lip + cheek tint. Both product are very good and I love the fact that they are made out of natural ingredients…Let’s get deeper into both products:

Milk Lip + Cheek Tint in Rally: Lovely texture and color…very easy to blend but since I have combination skin it will not stay on for long and I have to re-apply…not a big deal I still like it.

Milk Ubame Mascara in Inked: This mascara is definitely my favorite lately. Since I got it this is the only mascara I have been wearing. It gives my lashes definition and length. plus the look is so natural…what a surprise…love this mascara! Run and get it 😉

I think I will go back and get some more products from Milk…Will keep you posted!

Scalp Exfoliation…So Important for Beautiful & Healthy Hair!

Posted on by

Sea-Salt

This has become a huge step in my beauty routine. But still, tons of people have no idea how important it is to exfoliate our scalps at least once a week for shiny gorgeous hair. Our scalp is just like skin and it needs to be cleansed properly (not just with shampoo). We usually exfoliate our faces and bodies but we neglect that very important part of our head. Our scalp get full of dirt and buildup from hair products and it is crucial for healthy hair and scalp to never skip this step (once or twice a week). from dry scalp to hair loss…exfoliating our scalp can have major benefits and solve some of the following problems:

-Greasy Scalp

-Dandruff

-Itchy Dry Scalp

-Hair Loss

-Hair Thinning

-Improve Circulation

-Lack of Volume

These are some of my favorite products to exfoliate my scalp:

Lush BIG Sea Salt Shampoo http://www.lush.com & Christophe Robin Purifying Hair Scrub http://www.sephora.com

sea-salt-shampoo

If you want to make your own hair/scalp scrub you can mix thick sea salt with olive oil and you can add an essential oil like tea tree, rosemary, or lavender oil. Just massage it into your scalp and let it work for at least 45 minutes…The more you leave it on the bettaaaaa 😉

Until next time…

Always in my bag…

These items are always…ALWAYS in my bag! On regular days I do not wear much make-up, but I do not like to look dull or washed out. I carry these 5 beauty must-haves everywhere I go.

I love cream blushes…I like that they look so natural and give a flushed healthy look. Sometimes powder blushes look too chalky on my skin and do not look that natural. I love the glow that  LE BLUSH CREME DE CHANEL gives to my face. It makes me look so fresh =) I wear color 66 FANTASTIC which is like a pinkish-fuschia. You need just a dab on your cheeks and lips and VOILA!!! You can find this creme blush at any department store or at http://www.chanel.com

Another blush that I love is the JOSIE MARAN COCONUT WATERCOLOR CHEEK GELEE in GETAWAY RED. This dark red tint gives you such a natural healthy look its crazy!!! Plus it is all natural and made with coconut water to keep your skin moisturized and glowy. You can find this at http://www.sephora.com

Next is my favorite concealer in the world: SARAH McNAMARA MIRACLE SKIN TRANSFORMER EYE AND FACE CONCEALER. I wear this on all my imperfection and it has a velvety texture that blends so perfect with my skin tone. My skin looks flawless after I use it. I wear the medium shade. You can find this product at http://www.nordstrom.com or at http://www.gilt.com which they sometimes have it on sale 😉

My PACIFICA COLOR QUENCH LIP TINT in VANILLA HIBISCUS has been my go-to lip balm for a while now. I feel like a lot of lip balms dry out my lips so when I find something that actually keeps them moist and plumped I try to stick to it. I buy mine at wholefoods but you can find it at http://www.amazon.com or natural beauty stores.

Last but not least is my mini perfume from ATELIER COLOGNE in ORANGE SANGUINE. I have the full size bottle in my bathroom but always carry this 0.25 oz. In my bag. The smell is so perfect…fresh but not too fresh like a hand sanitizer if you know what I mean 😉 The smell is citrusy and fresh with a hint of sweetness. You can mix it with other perfumes. I usually wear this scent with VANILLE INSENSEE from the same brand. Truly irresistible and lasts for hours. You can find this brand at http://www.sephora.com

I will be posting more of my faves soon!!!
