January Beauty Picks
Skincare
1 - Angels on Bare Skin - This s a new product I have been trying out over the past few weeks. I will say that after using it everyday for a week I will scale it back to 2-3 times a week. It acts like an exfoliator and since my skin is on the dry side I need something more gentle for everyday usage.
2 - Fomo Jelly Mask - This facial mask is so soft and smooth. It's made out of a really unusual texture and helped remove redness from my skin.
3 - Kiehl's Ultra Facial Toner - I've talked about how much I love Kiehl's acne control lotion and spot treatment on the blog before. I was given a few samples of other products to try out and I love their toner. It was gentle and did not leave my skin feeling tight.
4 - Kiehl's Ultra Facial Cream - I've been a big fan of First Aid Beauty's Ultra Cream but this one from Kiehl's has become a new favorite. It really hydrated my skin and I've been using it morning and at night.
5 - Supersmile Professional Whitening System, Small Kit - This product was one I stumbled across after doing extensive research about teeth whitening. It takes a few weeks to show a difference, but it removed most of my surface stains! I have pretty sensitive teeth and I found that it didn't bother my gums. Also, it says the small kit is a 30 day supply but has actually lasted me a few months.
Body
6 - Cetaphil Restoraderm Skin Restoring Body Wash - For anyone with skin issues this is hands down the best body wash I've ever used. It's scentless and really gentle on the skin.
7 - Cetaphil Restoraderm Skin Restoring Moisturizer - Another great product from Cetaphil. I've been using the body wash and this moisturizer since last Summer and have no intentions of switching. The lotion is lightweight and not sticky. I also like it's scentless so I can pair any parfum with it.
8 - Wiccy Magic Muscles - This body bar smells heavenly. I love all of Lush's products and this one I bought a few years back. The coffee beans act like a little massage bar and it's scented like coffee and cinamon.
Beauty
9 - Essie Polish - This shade of nude blush is such a staple all year round. Essie polish is one of the best I've tried and I've found if you let it glide on in thin layers it lasts longer.
10 - Estee Lauder Double Wear Make-up To Go - Outside of bareMinerals this is one of the only foundations I've found doesn't create blemishes. It's really smooth, great coverage and seems to last all day. I rarely use concealer anymore.
11 - Ciate London Bamboo Bronzer - Up until recently I've always been more of a blush gal than a bronzer gal. Lately though I've been changing my tune. I recently started using Ciate's products which is an English brand. This particular color gave me a really realistic looking tan.
12 - Bite Beauty Amuse Bouche Lipstick - Bite Beauty made my previous beauty post and since I've picked up more shades. This one is perfect for a neutral and I love the way it smells. If you've never used their products, I highly recommend them!
