Let’s Start with All Things Skin Care
Skin Care has become one of my favorite routines as I have gotten older, so I thought I would share some of the cheaper skin care items and then some higher end skin care items that I love from Sephora!!
Sephora Lip Mask – This little $3 mask is powerful enough to make my dry lips feel and look more hydrated than they have been in a long while. I wasn’t expecting it to do anything honestly because a lot of lip masks don’t, but for $3 this recovered and prepped my lips like no other!
Sephora Eye Mask – My all time favorite eye mask and it’s literally only $5. I love Sephora’s eye mask because it truly hydrates and moisturizes right in my bags and it actually brightens up my under eyes. As a college student and a working student I feel like I constantly have bags underneath my eyes, but this little $5 solution is def my go to!
The Sephora Clay Masks – OMG!!! I picked up these two masks one day because I didn’t want to spend a lot on masks and let me just tell you I was SURPRISED!! The blue clay mask is specifically for detoxifying and oxygenating the skin and that is exactly what it does. When I tell you that this mask pulled all that crap up from my pores and breakouts, I literally mean it. It was so good that still to this day when I feel a breakout about to come on, I will literally put this whole mask on my face and they will all be gone the next day.
Now the yellow mask is definitely a refreshing one! This one is specifically supposed to revitalize and tone out your skin and it definitely does that. I would recommend this mask to get you started for your week because you seriously will feel more than fresh. I also want to point out that each clay mask says they are good for 4 uses, but they are good for plenty more so stock up!!
The Sephora Instant Moisturizer and Cream – This stuff not only smells like heaven, but it honestly feels like heaven as well. I found a sample of this in my makeup bag and decided to use it and I was highkey blown away. It felt like one of those expensive moisturizers because of how hydrated it leaves your skin, but it also doesn’t leave you feeling oily either. So if you have combo skin like me and you’re not trying to spend an arm and a leg, then this will be perf for you.
These next six items are some of my all time skin care items, but they are a bit more on the pricey side. Even though they are pricey, you only need a little bit of each thing, so you will have enough product to last you months because a little goes a long way with the products!
Ole Henriksen Balance Force Oil Control Toner – This toner is the amazing! I got this after hearing Desi Perkins talk about how it helped her breakouts, so I tried it out and fell in love. It really works really well for cleaning off all that excess dirt after you wash your face and it just leaves you feel refreshed and feeling more than brand news.
Kiehls Rare Earth Deep Pore Cleansing Mask – My FAVORITE mask ever! Seriously, this mask is my go to and most likely will forever because it just clears out all of the junk from your skin. I will put this mask one when I feel myself getting a breakout or just want to reset my skin because it does such an amazing job pulling out all the dirt that is in my pores. Your face is always glowing, soft, and more than refreshed, so check it out while you can get it 10-20% off!
Kiehls Midnight Recovery Oil – This oil is everything!! I use this every single night just to repair my skin, rehydrate my skin, and I swear by it. You can add just a couple of drops to your nightly moisturizing routine, or you could even hydrate your whole face with a little dropper. Either way, a little goes a LONG way so you will have the one bottle for awhile.
Tatcha Violet C Radiance Mask – I’m OBSESSED with this mask! I honestly got it because it was purple and it came with an applicator, but when I used it I realized it was a bomb investment. It literally gives your skin a glow like no other, it hydrates your skin, and I swear it is the ultimately refreshment! Your face will be more than smooth, so try it out while it is on sale!
On to my next favorite category, the Make up!!
Fenty Foundation – I’ve never been one to like matte foundations, but when Fenty came out I decided I might as well try it. I tried this foundation and fell in love. I wore it to the Texas State Fair and literally had a flawless face even through all the sweat. It’s long lasting, it smells good, it’s a matte that gives you a natural glow, and it will not budge, so check it out! It does oxidize so just make note of that.
NARS Sheer Glow Foundation – This was one of the first high end foundations and it is amazing! If you like dewy looks or foundations, then this is one you will probably like a lot. It is definitely dewy, long lasting, medium coverage, and a little goes a long way. This way my go to for a long while, so enjoy y’all!
NARS All Day Luminous Weightless Foundation – This foundation is AMAZING!! This one is a bit more fuller coverage than the sheer glow and it is more matte as well, but it still gives your skin a good, natural glow! About four pumps can cover my entire face and it does a good job at covering my freckles, but not covering them all the way. To get the best results with this foundation, just apply it with your hands and then blend it out with a beauty blender and you’ll look as flawless as ever!! Try it out!
NARS Natural Radiant Longwear Foundation – Okay, so I have obviously shared some amazing foundations, but if I am being completely honest, then this foundation has been my all time favorite of 2018! I use about 2-3 pumps to cover my entire face and when I say you look so natural, I mean it. You look flawless and you will literally just have a natural glow on your face. I have not wanted to buy another foundaion since I got this in January of 2018, so that should tell you how much I like it! I also use it quiet a bit and I still have some left and it is already August of 2018. So if you need a foundation out of these four, get this first and then fenty!
Tarte Amazonian Clay 12 Hour Blush – Literally blush gold! I got the paaarty shade as a birthday gift from Sephora about a year ago and it’s amazing! It is long lasting, the colors are beautiful, and the actual product goes a long way, so you won’t have to keep buying a new one. I don’t really care for blush, but I do love this blush out of every blush I have ever tried so check it out!
Laura Mercier Translucent Loose Setting Powder – I’ve heard of this setting powder for a long time, but I always thought spending almost $40 on a setting powder was crazy.. I got it from Influenster and when I say I looked flawless after I set my face with this powder, I mean it. I can totally understand why this is $38 because you will literally look airbrushed and so natural. I highly recommend grabbing one while it is on sale because it will last you forever and it will change your makeup look forever!
Urban Decay All Nighter Setting Spray – My HOLY GRAIL for setting sprays!! I honestly haven’t tried another setting spray because it keeps my makeup on through this Texas heat, so it was a keeper for me just from that alone. You just need to spray your whole face, not drench it and you’re good to go. I can usually get one bottle tot last me for some months, but I also don’t always wear makeup so just keep that in mind!
Fenty Shimmer Stick – I got this when the Fenty line first dropped and I have mixed feelings for it. I really enjoy the color and the highlight when it is applied with a little beauty blender, but I don’t like applying it with the stick itself. The color payoff is amazing really good if you apply it with the beauty blender and she has an amazing color range to pick from highlight wise, so def check it out.
BECCA Highlighter – One of my favorite highlighters of all time is probably champagne pop or prosecco pop from BECCA because it EVERYTHING!! It will have you glowing literally from a mile away and you literally don’t even need a lot to get the blinding highlight. The compact is huge so you honestly get a ton of product which makes the price a bit more bareable. There are a ton of shades to choose from and they even has some mini versions of some of the shades, so treat yourself.
On to the Hair Necessities!!
