Favorite Beauty Finds

Hi Everyone! I hope your week is off to a great start. This weekend is my college’s homecoming weekend which will be a lot of fun and then next week is fall break! I cant believe I am almost to the halfway point of my last semester.

Today’s post is about things that everyone, especially women, LOVES and needs, I’m sharing my favorite beauty finds that I love and don’t break the bank. Sorry guys, this may not be an exciting post for you. 

My new favorite products

Before, I get into this post, I got all these products from Marshalls, but this post is not sponsored by Marshalls. I also wasn’t looking for these products, I was browsing the shelves and found them and they were all impulse buys, but I have been so happy with them. Also, I didn’t break the bank by purchasing them either. 

  1. Face scrubber

Back of the brush

I have been looking for a face scrubber for the longest time. I didn’t want a brush that was too rough or hard. When I got this face scrubber, I couldn’t wait to try it. I love how there are two sides to the scrubber, a nylon bristle side and a silicone brush. The nylon side cleans deep and unclogs pores. The silicone side exfoliates dry or dead skin. I typically only use this one my face once or twice a week so I don’t dry out my skin. I also love how it feels after a good deep cleaning. I didn’t break the bank with this purchase, and I am happy with the result of it so far.

  • Jade Roller

I have heard about jade rollers for the longest time and when I finally got a jade roller, I couldn’t wait to try it out. The purpose of the jade roller is to revive tiring skin and recharge your skin for a natural glow. It’s great for priming skin before applying creams and lotions. It also promotes anti-aging, eliminates toxins, tones muscles, reduces puffiness and wrinkles, and stimulates blood flow to the skin. I use it a 4-5 times a week typically at night after I wash my face. I also put it in the fridge for 30 minutes before I use it to cool my skin. I have been so happy with the results of using this product. Not only does it have all these benefits but it’s a soothing way to relax and add to my skin care routine before bed or when I want to relax. Also, just want to point out that I don’t have an elaborate skin care routine, I use products from over the counter and it takes less than five minutes to do this routine, I’m all about making life simpler not more complicated.

  • Makeup brush cleaner 
Make up brush cleaner

Ever since I started wearing makeup in high school, I always had an issue with cleaning my brushes, whether it was how often to do it, what products to use, or cleaning them so often that they would break. Well, thanks to Marshalls, I found a game changer when it comes to cleaning my brushes. I got this make up brush scrubber and I have been loving it. It is silicone so it cleans easily at it has four different areas depending on deep you want to clean your brushes. Also, it has suction cups to stick to your sink, so you aren’t worried about it sliding around when you are cleaning them. This saves me time when I am cleaning my brushes and I know that they are getting a good deep cleaning. 

These are three beauty finds that I have been wanting to try for a while and I’m so glad I did. They all impressed me and I was pleased with the results. Lastly, I was happy that they were affordable and worth my time and money. What are some beauty products that you are loving and you would suggest? Sound off in the comments below!

Favorite Beauty Products

Hi friends! Happy Tuesday!

Today, I’m sharing something every girl loves and uses; beauty products!! Whether we are loyal to one brand or we use a bunch of assorted brands. We all have our favorites! Some beauty products, I stick to one brand and only use their products, other times, I use a variety of brands. Today, I’m sharing my top beauty products, what I use them for and where you can get them.

-Face

I have very sensitive skin and I use a lot of various products to wash, moisturize and keep my skin clear. However, whenever I am in the mood to pamper myself, this is my go-to face mask. I have tried a few different brands, but this one works best with my skin. This is the Miss Spa: Charcoal clarifying mask. There is one sheet mask per package, you put it on for 15-20 minutes and then remove it. Your face will feel refreshed, smoother, and most definitely clearer. I got this from Target and they carry other masks as well, but the charcoal is my favorite. All masks are between $5.00-$10.00. This is a great pick me up for your face.

My favorite mask to unwind after a long day

-Lips

I won this lip scrub and balm as a giveaway from The Chic Mamas. Go check out her blog for all things fashion to mommy and me! I was looking for something that both exfoliated my lips and made them smoother and this answered my prayers. This is the Sara Happ Exfoliate Scrub and One Luxe Balm. I put on the lip scrub after I get out of the shower and once it is moisturized in, I put on the one luxe balm. They both come in different scents, I have the Sparkling Peach lip scrub and Lip Slip Balm. Now they are a bit more expensive, but they last a long time. I use them every day and have had them since Christmas and you can’t even tell I’ve used it. I highly recommend the pair set.

The Best Lip Scrub and Balm. I use it daily!

-Nails

I love taking care of my nails. My favorite brand is Chrome Girl Nails, I have talked about why I love the brand before, you can find it here! They are 8 Free which means there are no harsh chemicals. They carry nail strengthen products like the base and top coat, the nail lacquers themselves, and nail polish removers in delicious scents. Although, Valentine’s Day may be over, you can still wear red, pink, and white for the rest of the month. This trio is perfect for a date night or a day at the office and it’s on sale! The nail polish is a bit expensive but it’s long lasting and there are always sales. Once you wear Chrome Girl, people will be turning heads at your nails.

-Eyes

We have all heard that eyes are the opening to the soul, but what about eye makeup? I always try to accent my eyes especially since I wear glasses. I recently purchased Kylie Jenner’s Kylie Cosmetics, Kyshadow,  Burgundy Pallet and fell in love with it. The colors are neutral, so you can wear it out for a night or just running errands. The colors are highly pigmented, so what you see is what you are gonna get. The price wasn’t too crazy and a lot of the time, Kylie Cosmetics offers free shipping which makes it even easier to purchase things online. Now, I get a majority of my makeup from Target or Ulta Beauty, but every once in a while, I like to treat myself and I was pleasantly surprised with how much I use the Kyshadow Pallet. It was definitely a good purchase.

LOVE the packaging

  • Skin (Concealer)

I don’t know about you, but concealer is my best friend, 99% of the time. It took me a while to find the right concealer that worked for my skin, but I found my match with Neutrogena’s Concealer stick.  I have it in Fair due to my light skin type. I put it on and then smooth it out with a makeup sponge. It goes on smooth and stays on the whole day, I rarely have to reapply. I get mine from Target but they also sell them at Ulta Beauty and Giant Eagle. It runs pretty low on price so I’m not breaking the bank to buy it.

The best concealer!!!

There you have it. My favorite beauty products. Now, those are just my favorite and I use a variety of products.*** This post was not sponsored by any of the brands I shared, I am just sharing my true feelings about these products. What are some products you can’t live without?!
