Beauty Products I Can’t Get Enough Of!

Posted on by

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.

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!!!

My Fave Finds This Summer!

Hello peeps!

I’ve been MIA for a while but I’m back!  I was for a whole month in magical Ibiza. Jelly yet??? It was so much fun and relaxing: family, beach, food, Gin tonics…Ok i am going to stop hahaha. For this post I wanted to share with you three of my latest beauty finds =)

Let’s start with Gaudalie Huile Divine: Yes. it’s divine! This dry oil is packed with antioxidants from grapeseed as well as firming and moisturizing oils from argan, sesame, and hibiscus. It absorbs super fast leaving my skin soft and glowing. It has been a life saver after all these weeks under the sun. My skin was thirsty and needed something really hydrating. It says you can use it on your face and hair too…therefore it is a perfect multitasking oil to take on your next vacation. One more thing! It is free from parabens, sulfates, and phthalates. In Europe you can find this product/brand almost at any drug store/pharmacy. In the U.S you can find it at http://www.sephora.com and sephora stores.

Every summer I breakout! The combination of heat, humidity, and SPF creams are like a bomb for my skin. Two weeks ago my cheeks were full of mini pimples until I found La Roche-Posay EFFACLAR MAT. According to what it says on the tube, this is a sebo-regulating moisturizer, anti-shine, and anti-enlarged pores. You can wear it day and night. It has a matte finish so it is great for oily/combination skin. It really keeps your skin moisturized and I am breaking out less every day. My pores are definitely smaller and it is a great make-up base. This brand is very popular in Europe and their products are formulated for people with sensitive skin. They have no parabens or fragrances that can irritate the skin. I know I’ve seen this brand at Walgreens pharmacies if you live in the U.S. So far I am very pleased with the product, I am not sure it will be moisturizing enough during winter weather but I will keep you posted.

photo 4photo 5My everyday lipstick this summer was this Nars in Blonde Venus . Very natural shade, almost nude but it gives you a hint of color. It is in between glossy and matte. My lips feel soft and hydrated. Staying power…? I can give it a 6.5 out of 10. Great for everyday natural make-up or great to pair with a smokey eye at night. You can find this lipstick at department stores, http://www.sephora.com or http://www.nars.com.
