Long time, no see! I’ve been working and working and testing products out for you all but have been slacking on sharing my finds with you. But today, I finally had a second to type my thoughts out for you and post this blog post. I’m sharing some products today that I’ve been using non-stop and loving a lot. Also, all of these products are all under $40! 🙌🏼 Let’s get started!
I purchased the Fair/Light tanning lotion a month ago and have been using it periodically. The glow it gives my body is light and so beautiful. If you’re interested in getting a darker look quickly, then I suggest getting the medium/dark. This lotion takes time (hence the gradual) but smells amazing and works through a couple of applications. I like it because I don’t have to worry about weird self tanner stains because I’m not the most diligent person when it comes to applying self tanner. This is easy to use and looks great.
Next up, I grabbed the Rosé All Day Palette that Exteriorglam collaborated with Physician’s Formula to make. This palette has been my travel palette because it includes all the necessities. My go-to makeup look recently has been “Te Dua” in the crease and Champagne on the lid. Then I finish my face off with the “Alea” blush and “Freshly picked” Highlighter. The lipstick is very coral-y, which isn’t my go-to color but it looks pretty when I layer it over a darker Nude color.
If you love some self care and keeping your face from being swollen, then these eye masks are for you. I love using these eye masks on my bare face while I start doing my eye makeup. Then I take them off and proceed to rub in the product with my ring finger. After that, I apply my foundation and the rest of my face makeup. It’s the perfect way to start my makeup routine.
When I’m in a hurry or not wearing a full face of makeup for the day, I grab the Tula eye balm and swipe this under my eyes. I always feel so refreshed after application. The great thing about this product and that you swipe under your eyes and go. It’s that easy. You also don’t use a lot of product during each use so it’s gonna last a long time. Thirty dollars seems expensive at first glance but once you start using it you realize that you’re not going to have to spend the money on this product again in a long time.
In the winter, I received my first FabFitFun box and this LashesMD serum came in it. I’ve been using BabeLash for a while and it’s been working but I figured I’d give this one a try too. For the price, I think it’s a great product that works just as well as the BabeLash. Anything that helps my lashes grow is a great product to me!
First up, I had a friend that told me about Thrive Causemetics so I decided to check out two of their products. I decided to buy the Buildable Blue CC Cream to have a light foundation option when I didn’t want to something full coverage. I accidentally purchased a color that was a little too dark for me so I mixed it with a lighter foundation that I already own and I love it. It’s light and exactly what I was looking for. The coloration (even though it was a little dark) it really pretty and I’m excited to get it in my actual shade.Guys! This product is seriously EVERYTHING I’ve ever wanted in a mascara. I was told how great this mascara was but holy crap, now I understand. It’s amazing and so worth the purchase. When you’re ready to remove this mascara, you run your fingers under hot water, rub your lashes between your fingers and the mascara will just come off in your fingers. It’s so easy to remove your mascara and no need for scrubbing your lashes.
Okay, so this is my little secret that I’ve been holding out on your all. I’m obsessed with Ombré so when I came across Hot Ombré Cosmetics, I knew I had to try these out. Let me tell you, so worth it! I wanted to buy the whole pack but I knew that I wouldn’t like the 5th one in the collection for my skin tone. But these other 4 all look so good! Burnt Brûlée and Toasted Peach are my two favorites (I can’t choose between the time of them).
Last but not least, I’ve found a product for teeth whitening that is so easy to use and is pretty fun to play with. Disclaimer: it’s messy, but easy to clean up. A little bit goes a long way and one purchase will last you a longgggggggg time. I highly suggest using this if you’re looking for a easy and effective teeth whitening product.
And that’s it! Share below if you’ve ever tried any of these products and what you think of them.
