Beauty Product Reviews
If you are anything like me, getting acrylics is just too big of a commitment and waiting for nail polish to dry is a disaster waiting to happen. Enter the Chillhouse Chill Tips.
With cute, kitschy designs, this little box has everything you need for an easy and painless mani including glue, a file and orange stick (hello cuticles). The set has a variety of sizes so you can have the perfect fit and the instructions are super easy to follow.
I love how unique the designs are, but how low maintenance application is. It also doesn't hurt that the included glue doesn't damage my nail beds. Give these a try if you're looking for that trendy mani without breaking the bank!
Makeup Bag Must Have
These are something I think every makeup lover should have in their bag. These are small cotton swabs with a point on both sides. The pointed tips are perfect to help clean up a wandering wing, lipstick slip up or an eyebrow that decided she was a cousin rather than a sister.
I usually use these paired with a micellar water (I usually use Bioderma's), but you can also just use water depending on the product. They also come in a convenient little pouch making them super easy to take on the go.
Hurry up and add these babies to your kit!
Obsessed is an understatement! As I'm sure many of you can relate to, as I've gotten older so have my under eyes and powders just do not work like they used to for me.
This powder is just a game-changer. With one of the most finely milled powders I've come across, this product somehow manages to seamlessly smooth my under eyes and not accentuate dryness or texture. The powder itself is so soft and lightweight and doesn't alter existing colors if applied on top. I've used this powder to bake, as an all over setting powder and even over cream shadows to set and in all scenarios it works like a dream.
I'm always a little skeptical of these types of brightening serums or complexion boosters as a lot of them are just chopped full of glitter, but please DO NOT mistake this for one of those.
I must say this product gives just the most beautiful radiant glow without you ending up like Edward Cullen in the sun (No one wants to look like a sparkly vampire at the grocery store).
I've found that the super fine light-diffusing particles give the product a subtle blur effect and helps give the appearance of a more even skin tone. The serum texture is a dream and lends this product to blend seamlessly into this skin with no streaks and a comfortable wear throughout the day.
If you're looking to give your daily complexion a boost and are looking for that effortless dewey girl look, this is definitely a must have.
Having fine hair, I'm constantly on the hunt for a good hair oil. Enter, Verb's Ghost Oil. This lightweight hydrating oil has worked wonders for smoothing flyaways and taming frizz, while also keeping my crispy ends from being dry.
I like to apply one pump into my palms and comb it into the mids and ends of my hair. I then use the excess and smooth down any flyaways. It gives my hair a beautiful shine without weighing it down or making my hair feel or look greasy. If you're looking for a lightweight oil, this one should definitely be in your bag ;)
Best For Hold
This is a must have for brows, hands down! It works great for holding really any brow look in place: natural, brushed up and even the infamous feathered brow. I even love just combing a bit in my brows before a quick grocery trip for a brow pick me up!
Overall, the product has a strong hold, is super easy to use and malleable but doesn't clump up or make your brows look crunchy. I will say, I wish it came with a dedicated spoolie, but its definitely not a deal breaker for me.
If you're a "nothing ever holds my brows" type like me, give this product a shot--you won't be disappointed!
Better sleep!
I honestly did not grow up using a sleep mask, so the idea of blind folding myself before going to bed seemed super strange to me. That said, I've recently been having the toughest time falling asleep and staying asleep! Between my fiance leaving the TV on and his midnight snack trips, I had never thought about how much light might be impacting my ability to fall asleep and stay that way.
Enter the Slip Silk Sleep Mask! After a few nights of using this, I am totally Team Sleep Mask! The Slip Silk Mask material is so soft and plush and the elastic band is perfectly stretchy without being tight. I look forward to bedtime now, especially since I know I won't be tossing and turning waiting to fall asleep.
Do yourself a favor and get this mask!
Daily Must Have
This is my favorite collagen product ever! The vanilla flavor is perfect; no after taste, chalky texture or beefy flavor what-so-ever! The powder mixes super easily in hot drinks, but especially well with a hand-held milk frother.
On to the benefits! I have some mild arthritis in my knee and I must say--having collagen in my routine has really been a game changer! With continued use, I feel less stiffness in my joints and feel more energized after my morning coffee!
I can definitely tell the difference when I skip this in my morning routine. Please never stop making this product!!
An essential in my routine!
I love this as a daily treatment and it has quickly become an essential in my routine! Recently I've been struggling with congestion on my cheeks and chin and after trying these for a few weeks, I was sold!
With an amazing blend of AHAs and Vitamin C, the pads have really helped reduce my texture and brightened up my overall tone. The formula is also so gentle and doesn't leave my skin feeling tight or dry, allowing me to get daily exfoliation! I adore these peel pads and the cute design on the pads doesn't hurt ;)
Soft & easy to use!
I love this hair towel!! Say so long to a sopping wet mane and trying to balance a leaning tower of towel on your head! This towel is so easy to use, cuts my dry time in half and doesn't make my hair frizzy AT ALL. The towel itself is super durable and the microfiber is super soft--even after a few tumbles in the washing machine!
Definitely well worth the purchase!
