Hey friends! It’s been a while since I have shared something “beauty” related so today I thought I would share some new beauty items I have been trying out lately. None of these are “new” items but they’re all new to me within the last month or so! I am totally that girl that can be sucked into buying 15 new products at Sephora so I’m constantly trying out new beauty products. These four are ones i have implemented into my routine in the last little bit and I am loving! (If you’re curious to see my everyday makeup routine, check out this post!).
I was so excited when I saw that Anastasia makes single eyeshadows! I have been using their Modern Renaissance palette daily for so long, but I use the same four colors and have to replace the palette. (All of the colors are great, but those four are my favorite!). After repurchasing the palette three times, I finally saw these single shadows. They are 4 for $32 and they magnetize to this empty palette that only costs $1!! Then you only have to replace the colors that you run out of and don’t have to buy a whole new palette! I use the colors Vermeer, Legend, Burnt Orange Matte, and Warm Taupe (swatched from left to right above). In the widget below I linked the two brushes I use to apply them!
This is an oil-free primer that has SPF 15 which is perfect for Summer! It literally feels weightless on your skin, absorbs quickly, and is not slippery at all. I have been loving how it reduces the appearance of pores and protects me from the sun. My foundation does not have sunscreen in it, so I typically have to wear a sunscreen underneath. I love that I can skip this step now, especially with the warm Summer months coming! And just a tip: whenever you are looking for something with a sunscreen, make sure that it has “Zinc oxide” as an active ingredient. It protects way better than without it (per my dermatologist 😉). This primer does have it, which is super hard to find!
You guys, this is ridiculously priced, but for good reason. Notice I didn’t say overpriced…which is totally what I have always thought about La Mer products. As I get into my upper 20’s, skincare is increasingly more important to me. I have been experimenting with different treatments and products and investing in my skin more than ever before. I decided to give this moisturizer a try last month after hearing only good things and seeing the amazing reviews. Needless to say, I am hooked (and Daniel is too, unfortunately for our wallets haha!). It is lightweight and makes your skin feel sooo good. I can’t even describe it. I always shop at Nordstrom when purchasing investment items like this that I am unsure about. If I don’t feel it’s worth the money or notice a difference, they gladly accept my return. You have to treat yourself and try this one!!!
I’m kind of embarrassed to admit that this is the first exfoliator I’ve purchased. But when I was looking to improve my skincare routine, the girl at Nordstrom recommended I try this one. It is dual-action which means it’s both a chemical and physical exfoliator. It contains pumpkin, papaya, and pineapple enzymes to exfoliate dead skin cells and gives you a brighter complexion. I currently use this twice a week. The statistics say that after just 4 weeks, 100% of women reported significant improvement of skin texture, pores, crow’s feet, fine lines, and wrinkles. Sign me up! Can’t wait to report back after I’ve used this for a bit longer.
What new beauty products have you tried lately? Which ones do you swear by that I need to try next?
