My new favorite mixing medium

This oil is probably one of the most softening and gentle products I've applied to my skin. I personally have dry/dehydrated skin type and love using oil as the final step in my routine to lock in all the moisture overnight. However, this specific rosehip oil is lightweight and absorbs into the skin super fast which is helpful and allows for it to be used both day and night.

I have also been mixing this oil with my foundation for a more sheer and luminous look, and love how moisturized face looks and feels. I also really enjoy using this oil to help as a mixing medium to make my cream contour apply and blend into my skin seamlessly.

Overall not only have I become a huge fan of this but, I found a new fun product to enhance my makeup!

A luxe treat for any nail polish wearer!

I love doing my nails and treat myself with manicures every once in a while. However, recently I made the splurge and treated myself to one the SMITH & CULT polishes and I have not looked back.

I love the consistency and color of this polish and no other nail polish lasts as long and this formula. I've played with using this polish without a top coat and with a top coat and the results are in, one coat of this polish and you are set. This polish will not chip and will not come off until you want it to. If you ever want to treat yourself to a luxe treat, no look no further than this gorgeous nail polish.

Finally a makeup remover that defeats the toughest of waterproof mascara

I'm a faithful contact lens wearer and have since found the perfect mascara and eyeliner that will not move or smudge and taking it off at night can be a bit of a hassle. I usually use a cleansing balm, and makeup wipe, and often enough I still find some bit of mascara at the end of my cleansing routine. Then I started using Hydrabio and have found that this is the only micellar water that fully removes any mascara no matter how tough it is. Not only is this a fantastic cleanser but Bioderma has created three different versions to help attend to any skin concerns you might have.

I have pretty dry/dehydrated skin and using this I can definitely see that this doesn't irritate my eyes. My trick to remove any eye makeup, it to douse a bit of this water onto a cotton pad and just let it sit on top of my eyes to allow for the micellar water to slowly break down the makeup so that I am not actually rubbing my eye area (as that area is super sensitive and can be prone to fine lines/wrinkles) frantically to remove my waterproof makeup. So if you are using this to remove heavy makeup or simply cleanse the skin this works like a charm and will help maintain your skin's natural balance.

My favorite spring fragrance...

I always wanted to be the type of girl that would have a signature scent, and I thought I'd have to try a million and one perfumes before I found it until I purchased this scent. I personally love the 30 mL version because it is still small enough to throw this into my purse and use this to freshen up if I'm going out later or if I want a quick pick me up. I love the freshness of this scent and really enjoy the hint of sweetness that the blackberry adds while still having the freshness of the bay scent.

Pro tip: I've recently tried layering this scent along with the Jo Malone Mimosa & Cardamom Cologne and it automatically transforms this scent to a warm and enticing scent.

Part of my daily ritual..

Oh my god, if you've ever wanted to give yourself a luxurious treatment and smell delicious all day long, look no further this is the body oil for you. It not only has the most delicious scent, but it leaves my dry skin hydrated and soft all day long. It has a delicate scent which is quite soothing and not overwhelming at all. I personally love the smell (and taste) of anything with jasmine, this scent is more delicate and quite natural. The scent does linger, but as mentioned leaves you smelling fresh and is not over-flowery at all.

I've been using this specifically around these cold winter months and I've found my skin feeling softer and nourished. If you're looking for something luxe to nourish your body look no further and give this a try.

An espresso shot for the soul

If you love coffee, you've found your match! This gorgeous scrub not only leaves my skin feeling velvety and soft. I have pretty dry skin so this helps me exfoliate any dry patches that I might have. I also really enjoy using this to prep my legs before I shave to ensure that I get a nice close shave. Above making my skin feel good, I really think that the scent of coffee wakes up your senses but the fact that this product contains natural caffeine mean that it helps with overall blood circulation which in turn actually make you feel awake and brighten up any morning shower.

Not only does this product have a delicious scent, but it also comes in a generous size and should last you quite long. I personally can't get enough of this scrub and look forward to trying more products from this brand!

Confidence everyone should try!

This cleanser is perfect for my dry/dehydrated skin, it doesn't over strip my skin of its natural moisture but leaves my skin feeling clean and fresh. I'm a huge fan of double cleansing and this is the cleanser that I typically use after I take my makeup off to ensure I get rid of all traces of makeup and grime. One of the main reasons why I'm a huge fan of this product is the ingredients. It has collagen, hyaluronic acid, colloidal oatmeal which are some of the best ingredients for those of us who suffer from irritation need and want. I personally have severe irritation and flaring due to how dry and tight my skin can get during the cold winter months and this particular facewash does not aggravate my skin and leave it feeling soft and supple. Overall if you are looking for a soothing face wash that really cleanses the skin look no further, and give confidence a try!

Best rescue cure for my under eye area..

I'm relatively young but know that it's never to early to start taking care of your skin and preventing sings of aging. I tend to have pretty dry/dehydrated skin, and especially during these winter months, I've been noticing that the skin under my eyes tends to feel tender and a little rough from the cold wind. I've been using this to prep my under eyes for when I put on makeup and obviously at night as well and the results are outstanding. Its lightweight gel texture makes it fast absorbing but also cooling to the eyes.

Since trying this item out, I've recommended this to all my friends as the investment they need to make. Although it seems like a luxury item, this has quickly become a staple item in my routine and can't seem to live without it.

My go to for glowy and plump skin

As a fan of Korean skincare, I was really excited to start venturing out and trying Korean cosmetics and this primer has so far delighted me. I personally have dry/dehydrated skin and tend to sway towards more hydrating primers that leave a nourished and refreshed feeling. I personally have found a match while using this primer, as it contains small light reflecting pears that give my skin give off a glow from within. It has a light gel-like texture and absorbs quite quickly, and leaves my skin feeling moisturized and tacky so that foundation actually binds with the primer to allow for my foundation to adhere to the skin. I also really enjoy putting a pump or two of this primer into my foundation and create my own custom bb cream for the days that I want my skin to give off the no-makeup makeup look, and recommend others to do so when they want to sheer out any full coverage foundation. Since trying this product I have repurchased for my mom and my best friend and they adore the way that this product sits on their skin. If you’re in the market for a primer look no more, and give VDL primers a chance!

My go to foundation for long days and fun nights

This foundation is by far one of the most gorgeous formulas that I have tried. This product is a hybrid between a foundation and concealer but it’s more than that. I have dry/dehydrated skin and was worried about the finish and how it might wear on my skin, so to prep my skin I used eye cream around my eyes and my most moisturizing primer. Instantly as I applied and blended this around my skin I was amazed at the coverage it offered. Not only is the coverage fantastic but it is incredibly luminescent and the finish made my skin look absolutely flawless and with a healthy glow. The finish for this foundation is a happy medium between radiant and natural matte, the goal of this foundation and any TOM FORD products is for the skin to look healthy and this foundation does not disappoint. The coverage of this foundation is medium to full, and although I usually would sway away from full coverage since I have dry skin, the formula of this foundation is so good that I wasn’t afraid to layer this around my discoloration or under my eyes. If there was ever a product that I will always splurge on it’s this magical foundation.
