May 2019 Empties

I’m back this month with more empties and for the second time in a row, I have a really big set of empties. I’m pretty determined to use up a lot of my skincare, and actually just passed on a bunch of it to some friends. As hard as I try, I am just not … Continue reading May 2019 Empties →

Woosh, this is going to be a long one, everyone. I haven’t done a round-up in over a month, so in order to keep this post manageable, I’m going to do a selected roundup. I blame my laziness. March 22 I’ve been using the By Terry Baume de Rose lip balm for over a month … Continue reading Instagram Roundup #3 →

#laneigegiftedme the cream skin toner and moisturizer just in time. All of a sudden the air is DRY and even my combination skin is starting to feel it. . This @laneige_us product has been everywhere on here for good reason. Its liquid like a toner but feels so hydrating that it could actually feel like a lightweight moisturizer on my skin for the summer. As it's almost winter I'm using this as a hydrating step in my routine. I know this was an asia exclusive for awhile but it's now at @sephora! . For other hydrating products, I've been using the hyaluronic serums from @theinkeylist and @goodmolecules (both gifted). Its my first time using a dedicated hyaluronic serum and I dont know why I waited so long! It really makes my skin feel more moisturized and plump. Between the two, I slightly prefer the @goodmolecules version because it doesnt leave my face tacky like the inkey list one does. It's a minor difference and they're both really good and affordable serums. . I've acquired a lot of face mists this year so I've been trying to be better about using them throughout the day or after my showers. The @jurlique rosewater mist* is a nice hydrating mist I've been using a ton lately. . Also no surprise that @jvskincare forever glow mask* is in my routine, as well as @welovecoco water fresh tint and @ctilburymakeup flawless filter are also in my makeup routine for a beautiful healthy glow. Finally, I've loved the @clarinsusa lip oils for a long time and finally picked up the blackberry shade, which leaves a super subtle dark berry tint that I'm loving. . What other moisturizing products do i need to try?? . *gifted #hydratewithlaneige #laneigeus #octolyfamily

A very late October empties post - now live on the blog. I’ve been finishing up a ton of products lately, which is good, given all the new stuff I’ve also gotten 😂 . As always, head over to my blog to read full thoughts on everything, but here are the highlights: @patchology all eyes on you eye mask set @lumeneusa brightening hydra oil @instytutum truly transforming brightening eye cream @lancomeofficial monsieur big @kristeness air dry creme (thanks to @la.vie.stella for sending this to me ages ago!) . Do you see anything here that you’ve tried?

Some new in and trying (plus some loving for the @kosascosmetics 8th muse high intensity blush) . I found the @patmcgrathreal ritualistic rose quad on the last day of the sephora sale in store and couldnt resist it. It's beautiful and the neutrals will make it more wearable for me. I thought about picking up the new mothership palette but for some reason it doesnt excite me. I feel like I need to see it in person to see if I really want it. . I also got a big box of @makeuprevolution goodies awhile back and have been making my way through them. This highlighter trio* is AMAZING and has such beautiful tones. The formula is also so impressive and much better than the affordable price tag would seem. . I was also gifted some @deardahlia_beauty lip products from @morganpublicity and they are so freaking cute. I tried a couple products out when I first got them and they seem really nice!I'll update when I test them more. . Finally, I picked up the @clarinsusa lip oil in BlackBerry has been on my wishlist awhile, and I figured now is the time to try this sheer deep berry oil. . Anything here you want to see more details on? Anything you love?

An outtake today of some absolutely stunning newish products from this season. . I've been using the @hourglasscosmetics ghost palette so much and unsurprisingly, I absolutely love the shades of these and the formula is always awesome. . @tomfordbeauty soleil neige quad for a stunning cool toned smokey quad . @yslbeauty zoe Kravitz lipsticks. You all know how obsessed with these I am. . Now that the @sephora sale is over, what products have you been loving?

A little hotel bathroom vanity shot. This counts as light makeup packing for me and I still clearly have lots of options 😂 . I put some @kjaerweis products in a mini @makeupforeverofficial palette and it's the perfect mini cream palette. I brought the foundation, cream blush in blossoming, and the lip tint in captivating. . For powder products I brought @maccosmetics blushbaby and margin blushes for easy neutral blushes. And the @iliabeauty cool nudes palette is just the kind of color mood I'm in with this very chilly weather. . I actually kept my lip options pretty pared down and I have probably 3 lipsticks instead of my usual 10. I brought the @stilacosmetics liquid lipstick in patina (still love this formula! Not drying and long lasting) and @marcjacobsbeauty mini lipstick in kiss kiss bang bang. . There are some other fun things and essentials in the @mytruffle case I brought, like the @peripera.official eyeshadow, @maybelline full n soft waterproof, and some others. Spot anything you like?

Quick look today with some long lasting makeup as I travel for work again. . @ctilburymakeup flawless filter is back in full force to add a healthy glow without any shimmer, and even on my combination skin it lasts all day without making me look greasy. I'm also loving the pillow talk lip luster! It's such a beautiful thick liquid lip formula without being sticky at all and it provides hydration for the entire time its on. I definitely need to check out other shades in this formula. . @kosascosmetics 8th muse cream blush is giving me that flushed winter look that I'm starting to crave. This is the high intensity version, and I definitely much prefer this over the original cream duos. I also have been wearing the wet lip oil a ton, and I'm starting to come around to it a little bit. It is indeed very moisturizing like a lip balm, although I dont find it to last more than an hour or so on me. I'll keep testing and update later. . The @buxomcosmetics Seychelles blush is a beautiful long lasting blush that gives me just a bit of definition. It's a shame that the other shades dont really call to me but I love the formula so much. Please make more neutral shades, @buxomcosmetics! . The @urbandecaycosmetics naked 2 palette is such a good cool toned neutral palette. I'll be an urban decay naked collection fan girl forever even if the rest of the beauty community starts to move on 😂 I have almost all the naked palettes and they all work so well, formulas and shade-wise, for me. . Trying anything new that you're loving?
