Hey there!
I have received some amazing beauty PR packages with some amazing beauty products over the past few months. I wanted to share a few of my favorites with you!
So, this is kind of a funny story. I was on the hunt for a drug store brand foundation for every day wear. I have a few name brand foundations that I love, but I go through them pretty quickly, which really adds up. I tried so many drug store brands but none of them were right for me. They were either too watery, too thick or I couldn’t get the right color. I spent hours on the internet looking at reviews to get the right one. I eventually gave up. Shortly after that, Influenster sent me a package with Maybelline’s Master Prime primer and Fit Me Dewy foundation! The timing was perfect! Just when I thought I wasn’t going to find a less expensive foundation, this showed up in my mailbox. I cannot say enough good things about these two products! The primer is a great base and the foundation is everything I was looking for. Great coverage, long lasting and the color is perfect for my skin tone. I really like the dewy and I might even try the matte version next time.
I had never heard of either of these products until I received them. I started using the Rodial Banana Lowlighter right away. It is great to use as concealer for dark circles under the eyes. I like that it doesn’t have a shimmer effect like most highlighters. The Nip + Fab Radiance Shot can be added to your nightly moisturizer. I have only used it twice because I rarely remember to use moisturizer but so far I like it. I’ll let you know if I see any major results with it. 🙂
I received these exfoliating pads a few months ago and have been using them about three nights a week. They are nice for removing my makeup before I get in the shower. I like only having to use one product to remove my makeup and exfoliate. For a full time working mom, this is a nice time saver. They do a great job of brightening and clarifying my skin. They feel SO refreshing. Like a glass of water for my face! Anthony even uses them a couple of times a week. They were even the winner of Harper’s Bazaar’s “Best At-Home Glycolic Treatment” & SELF Magazine’s “Best Exfoliant” awards. I highly recommend these if you are looking for a gentle exfoliator and aren’t big on adding a ton of different products to your nightly regimen!
In case you missed it, I did a post on these products a few months ago. You can read it here. I have kept up with my Smile Brilliant whitening trays. If you have sensitive teeth, this is the perfect kit for you! There is a desensitizing gel that really helps. I recommend this to all my coffee and red wine drinkers out there!
I have done several posts on Aveda in the past. I love the products! I even go to an Aveda salon. You can read that post here. Aveda sends me a lot of different things, but when they sent me this wooden box full of goodies, I was ecstatic! I lost a lot of hair after I had Andi. This was so discouraging since I have had thick hair all my life. The Invati system has helped tremendously. My hair has finally grown back in and feels nice and full! I can’t believe what a difference this has made.
Do you use any of the products I reviewed? What are some of your favorites?
Thanks for stopping by!
