After falling in love with the @iope_us Derma Gent

After falling in love with the @iope_us Derma Gentle Cream, I was beyond excited when #iopegiftedme their Stem III Ampoule Daily Anti-Aging Serum. 💙👵🏻

Formulated with
✨ Allanto-Complex to treat scars and revitalize tired, aged skin
✨ Allantoin to calm & moisturize
✨Spiraeoside to give skin a boost
✨Peptides to help plump the skin, improve the appearance of fine lines

As someone whose skin has been sensitized, it has been a struggle to find effective, non-irritating products to treat my skin’s needs. In fact, as a result of the summer’s trauma, my skin was looking dry, haggard, and wrinkles I didn’t know I had were popping up. My plump, dewy skin disappeared. 😭

The IOPE Stem III is an ultra-lightweight serum with a thin, gel-like consistency. 💧 I applied this as a second step each morning after my facial spray and noticed that my skin immediately felt calmer and more hydrated. 💦 After a couple weeks of use, I noticed that my skin looked less dull and haggard.

Also, from an experience standpoint, the glass bottle feels super luxe and weighted.

Do you use any anti-aging products in your routine?

💋 🍉 Just a lip balm appreciation post featuring the @glowrecipe Watermelon Glow Lip Pop. 🍉 💋

This balm contain watermelon extract, coconut flower sugar, and flower-serviced AHAs to soothe, soften, and hydrate the lips. 🍉 🥥 🌸

Although this balm promises to provide gentle exfoliation, I don’t notice any exfoliating effects or grittiness in the texture. However, my lips do feel nourished after application.

The balm produces a sheer pink tint on the lips. 👄 Also, scent-wise, the Lip Pop is the reincarnation of the Lip Smackers Watermelon Lip Balm. 💋

What is your favorite Glow Recipe product? Or, if you haven’t tried Glow Recipe, what is your favorite fruit? 🍉 🍌 🍏 🍇 🍊 🍐 🍒

As many of you guys know, I’m currently one week

As many of you guys know, I’m currently one week into my 30-day beauty #nobuy. After a year of failing at low buys, I was beginning to doubt my own self-control.

However, I’m SUPER proud to say that it’s been one full week without any makeup purchases. 🙅🏻‍♀️🙅🏻‍♀️ In fact, it’s been a week without any purchases at all! 🤯

Aside from saving money, my intent with this No Buy was to prove to myself that I had the strength to do it. 💪🏻 But also to show love to the products I already own.

So for today’s #shopyourstashurday I’m featuring two of the @maccosmetics Glow Play Blushes in Cheeky Devil & So Natural. 💕 So far, I’m loving the formula.

Tell me one way you’re challenging yourself this Fall! 🍁 🍂

Let’s talk ✨ Holiday Releases & Gift Sets ✨

Let’s talk ✨ Holiday Releases & Gift Sets ✨

Even though it’s only September, we’re already seeing a firestorm of released hitting the market. 🔥 But what’s bad and what’s rad? 🤔

When it comes to holiday releases, I recommend picking up some of the makeup & skincare Value Bundles as opposed to the limited edition makeup releases & here’s why:
✅ Mini sets often contain permanent, tried-and-true products
✅ Opportunity to try fan- favorite releases at a discounted price
✅ Don’t need to ‘rush’ to review or feel bad referencing in future posts

Featured in today’s post is last year’s Glossy Posse from @Fentybeauty. ♥️ Although I’m planning to pass on this year’s Glossy Posse, the new bundle provides a great opportunity to try this incredible formula at a lesser price tag! 🏷 🏷

Any holiday releases on your list this year? 🎁

And on this #pinkwednesday, I’m featuring another #fentyfavorite 💕 - the Stunna Lip Paint in Uncuffed. I tend to avoid super “aggressive” pink lip colors, so this rosy mauve is a perfect everyday shade for me.

What is a lip color you avoid wearing??

P.S. Today marks day 3 of my #nobuy. So far, so good. 😊 Instead of rushing to buy things, I’m keeping a list of products I may want to shop once the holiday sales kick off. 🛍

Hi friends! 💜 It’s so secret that 2020 has be

Hi friends! 💜 It’s so secret that 2020 has been tough on us all, but this last week I was pushed to my limit after losing a beloved pet. 🐶 💔 So, I took some much needed time to myself.

Please know that if it seems like I’ve been ghosting you - it hasn’t been intentional. At points this summer, it’s been a struggle to put on a happy front or to remember dates / deadlines.

During this week’s dip, I found myself staring around my room at all my makeup items. 💄 🛍 Some products purchased during a low period, while some products were purchased during happier times. But it really hit me. ✋ I need to make a change. Shopping shouldn’t be my coping mechanism.

This morning, I spent some time praying. 🙏🏻 Ultimately, I’ve decided that I am going to go on a strict 30-day #nobuy so that I can love the things I already own and have money to spend on experiences that will bring greater joy. 🌈

With that in mind, in today’s post I’m featuring the Kylie Cosmetics Night Swim Eye Glaze from last Summer’s Under the Sea collection. ✨ 🌊 Although this looks like a cream shadow, it feels and applies more likely a flakey, metallic foil.

➡️ ➡️ Swipe right to see swatch comparisons between the Kylie Eye Glaze and ColourPop Amaze Super Shock Shadow. ✨ Any guesses on which is which? 😏

Tell me about something you wish you had more time to dedicate to or a product that you want to show more love to! ❤️
