10 Beauty Products That Are Giving Me Life Right Now.
OLAPLEX NO. 4 BOND MAINTENANCE SHAMPOO
The Olaplex shampoo is one of my favorite finds during lockdown! I have been using this product for a couple of months now and I have noticed a huge difference in my hair. It feels softer, less frizzy (thank you Houston humidity) and overall healthier. As an added bonus, it smells amazing. It has a very thick consistency for a shampoo and really foams when you scrub it into your hair. Another great thing about this shampoo and this brand as a whole is that all of their products are clean. This means their products are made without certain chemicals including: parabens, sulfates, phthalates, and more. I love finding beauty brands that are dedicated to using less harmful chemicals in their products and protecting their consumers and this one is a great one.
TULA SO PORELESS EXFOLIATING BLACKHEAD SCRUB
This is a newer product I’ve added to my skincare routine within the last month and I’m loving the results I’m seeing with this product! I can already see a difference in how my skin looks and my pores are so clear. It smells so yummy and leaves your skin feeling super refreshed. I love TULA products and have been a huge fan of this brand for a while now. This new product of theirs definitely doesn’t disappoint! You’ve got to try it. Your pores will thank you!
SUMMER FRIDAYS VITAMIN C SERUM
I am OBSESSED with this serum. I naturally have a rosy pigmentation around my cheeks and chin and using this serum has already started to help even out my skin tone and brighten my complexion. This product reduces the appearance of dark spots and hyperpigmentation—so your skin can go filter-free. It is packed with squalane to lock-in moisture for that extra glow and to protect against free-radicals.
TULA PROTECT + GLOW SUNSCREEN
I can’t say enough positive things about this product! I would argue this is the best product to come out of quarantine 2020. It’s that freaking good! It’s light enough to wear underneath makeup and gives your skin this amazing glow. It offers daily SPF 30 plus protection from damaging pollution & blue light—a must have since Lord knows we’ve all been on our computers more lately living this WFH life. This sunscreen is also packed with probiotics, pineapple, and papaya and is reef-safe. Oh yeah, and it smells good. So go buy this now, you know you need it!
DRUNK ELEPHANT D-BRONZI ANTI-POLLUTION SUNSHINE DROPS
If you’re looking for an amazing summer tan in a bottle, look no further! This product will give you the perfect sun-kissed look you want without putting any harsh chemicals into your skin! It’s the perfect secret summer accessory! Drunk Elephant is a brand I’ve always read amazing things about but their products tend to be on the more expensive side so I haven’t really pulled the trigger on trying many of their products. However, when I heard about this product, with summer quickly approaching, I knew I had to splurge and try it out! All I can say, is it is a miracle worker. In combination with some moisturizer and the TULA sunscreen, you have the perfect dewy, glowing look we all crave without any makeup!
TULA GLOW HOUR EYE BALM
Okay, Courtney Shields killed it with this product! Not only does it give you a gorgeous under eye highlight but it also fights against those dark circles that all of us ladies hate. Glow Hour is one of those products that is versatile, allowing you to use it in any way you want. Of course it has incredible skin benefits but aside from that, the gorgeous glow it gives you can be used as a highlight on the cheek bone, on the brow bone, down the bridge of your nose, and even to brighten up your decollete area.
JOON SAFFRON HAIR ELIXIR
This is one of those products I just started using and so far I’m loving how it makes my hair feel! It helps with overall shine and defrizzing especially. I typically stray away from hair oils or products like them because I have this fear that my hair will become greasy or look dirty somehow. But this product is so great! You just put a few drops in your hands and work it through your hair. I have thicker hair so I definitely make sure to spread it throughout. You want to start around the mid-shaft area and work your way down to to the ends. You can use it when your hair is damp or dry but I typically apply it after my shower and then use a brush to work it through. If you have frizzy hair and are looking for something that will help with detangling and giving your hair a smoother look, you should definitely consider trying this product!
TULA SIGNATURE GLOW FACE MIST
TULA’s newest product is the Signature Glow Face Mist. I’ve only been using it for a couple of weeks but already I love it. It’s perfect for a freshened up look after a workout or after applying your makeup in the morning. It gives that dewy look with a bit of sparkle. Also, like all TULA products, it smells delicious! This face mist also hydrates & protects from the damaging effects of blue light & pollution. You’ll love this product if you give it a try, it’s highlighter in a bottle.
JO MALONE NECTARINE BLOSSOM & HONEY PERFUME
This fragrance is so subtle and lovely and has become my new go-to perfume for summer. It’s not overpowering and offers a lovely fruit-forward scent. So many fragrances I’ve tried over the year are strong and can be too harsh for daily wear. This one is perfect for a daily fragrance and lasts all day! Also, if you are someone who suffers from allergies and cannot handle a strong perfume, this one is a great find!
SCHICK SILK DERMAPLANING TOOL, FACIAL RAZOR
First things first, this set of three dermaplaning tools are only $5 on Amazon, so why not give it a try?! I had heard about dermaplaning from a friend of mine and to be honest wasn’t sure what she was really talking about. A face razor? That sounds a tad aggressive lol. The purpose is to remove any dead skin on your face so that when you exfoliate and use your skincare products your skin can fully soak up all of those benefits. Plus, after using this tool you’ll be amazed how soft your skin feels!
Till next time, y’all!
