Let’s talk beauty! Today I’m sharing my tried and true, emptied the tube products. As much I love to splurge on good beauty products, not all have to break the bank and I’m here to share with you a few that work wonders without costing you an arm and a leg. As we dive into what products I’m loving, I’ll also share why I love them and how I like to use them! Now, lets get to the good stuff!
Ditch the shaving cream and grab a bottle of this stuff ladies, I’m telling you, you’ll never turn back. I started using this 5 years ago to shave my legs and I literally will not try anything else. A little goes a long way so the bottle will last you a long time. It has a nice light clean scent to it and lathers nicely for the perfect shave. I love that it doesn’t clog up my razor, leaves my legs feeling soft and can double as a shower gel to cut down on products cluttering your shower.
2. Ice Roller
If you do nothing else, do yourself a favor and get one of these! A friend gave me this on year for my birthday and I kid you not, it is one of the best presents ever! I leave mine in my freezer so it is readily available for when I want to use it which is everyday. The reason why I love this little tool so much is because the coolness of the roller closes pores while the roller promotes circulation which helps reduce redness and puffiness. I love to use this after I’ve traveled, in the morning to wake my skin up or when I’ve over indulged a little (ahem wine and carbs). When I use this at night, I like to do it after I’ve washed my face and have applied my serums and moisturizers because the roller helps your products absorbs into your skin. I also love to use this after any treatments I get done. It is way more effective in reducing or preventing swelling than those little ice packs they give you! I could go on and on about why I love this little tool!
3. Cinema Secrets Makeup Brush Cleaner
You guys! I have tried every make up cleaning method under the sun, from soaking your brushes in your sink to using organic bar soap so cleaning them with shampoo or dawn dish soap. Nothing and I mean NOTHING cleans your make up brushes as fast as this cleaner! Not only can you clean your brushes in minutes but the also dry so fast afterwards! Can I please get an AMEN to that?! This stuff is like pure magic! The makeup melts off your brushes and you’re left with clean, dry brushes in no time!
If you don’t have these in your bathroom closet, you need to add them ASAP! I slap these cute little gold eye masks on as soon as I wake up, right before I head to make my coffee. I let them sit for 20 mins which is enough time to drink my coffee and get my girls ready for school. These mighty little patches help with puffiness and dark circles, which I don’t know about you, but I could use all the help I can get! These are perfect for mornings that I wake up exhausted, it’s the little pick me up my poor under eyes need!
You guys, I think its safe to say I officially SWEAR BY THESE chin masks! I love using these almost daily! They are great for helping with that pesky little double chin that seems to sneak up on you. I will put one on at night after I do my skincare routine, leave it on for 20-30 mins which is enough time to watch a little show, then I take it off and it’s lights out! I really love these because I have noticed a difference when I use them. It just keeps everything nice and tight, which who doesn’t love that?!
6. Derma Roller
I have had this for several years now and love it! I’m not going to lie to you all, it’s a strange feeling rolling this all over your face so be prepared! The reason I love this little tool so much is because it really helps with my skin absorb my serums better. I do not use this daily, I only use this once a week, sometimes less. I am obviously no esthetician, I just do what I know works best for my skin. I will wash my face, roll this all over, then apply my serums and moisturizer. The next morning I notice an obviously glow to my face. It really helps my skin look more refreshed and rejuvenated. I do clean it with rubbing alcohol after since this is a product I am rubbing on my face. You want to make sure you clean it so it is sterile before every use!
This face wash is my go to when my skin needs a little pick me up. This face wash does exfoliate but is very gentle and not drying. As someone who has sensitive skin, I am picky about what products I use on my face and this is one that I hands down love and swear by. It’s gentle but effective which I’ve found can be hard to find! Every time I use this, I see a noticeable difference in my skin, you sloughs off all the junk and extra make up and leaves you feel fresh and clean!
Ever have those pesky fly aways that you don’t know how to tame?! Yeah, me too! I have tried everything from hair oil to spraying hair spray on a comb or toothbrush but this is SOO much better than any of those options! This gel is lightweight but actually works at taming those fly aways! You can use them to also keep certain hairs in place and even taming cowlicks. These bottles last forever and best of all, work like magic!
I will never have a makeup bag without one of these little guys in it! I’m not even kidding you guys! Have you ever been in a rush to get ready.. you just washed your face, put on your serum and moisturizers and then have to sit to let them absorb?! Well that is where this wonderful little tool comes in handy! Just turn this little fan on and watch your serums and moisturizers absorb in no time! This is also great to have if ever get warm while doing your makeup, because no one wants to watch all that work melt away!
Do you guys have any tried and true Amazon beauty finds that you swear by?!
