Hate makeup remover wipes because they sting your skin or leave your face dry? You are not alone.
It’s hard to find a reliable and gentle wipe, but Every Beauty’s Makeup Remover Pads fit the bill.
Made without alcohol or parabens, totally natural, hypoallergenic, and great for all skin types, these wipes are a dream for sensitive skin. Like all of my favorite products from this brand, these argan oil pads are kind to my skin but incredibly practical. I really appreciate that these are easy to store, and I don’t have to worry about them drying out (which also means they last forever).
Cuticle oil may not be the first thing that comes to mind when you think about beauty products, but it’s the over-looked things that often make a difference.
In the cold winter months, my sensitive little hands get very dry and the weather throws me off my manicure game. In short, my cuticles were suffering until I was introduced Nubar’s Cuticle Oil.
Packed with Caramiane, Vitamin D, and Mulberry Root extract, this oil does a great job at keeping my hands looking decent—and smells pretty darn good.
The perfect moisturizer is a rare thing, but this comes pretty close.
No joke: I am all about Clean & Clear’s Hydrating Gel Moisturizer. I don’t experiment too much with skincare products because my face is pretty sensitive, so I was a little anxious about testing this guy out, but ended up being pleasantly surprised!
As someone with combo skin, I appreciate that this product keeps my dry spots hydrated, but doesn’t wreck my t-zone. I also loved that I didn’t need to use a ton of product, which means saving serious dollars.
Looking for a thick gloss that you won’t have to reapply? This might be the ticket. Ofra’s Sultry Lipgloss Plumper comes in a vampy burgundy that’s perfect for ladies who want to experiment with dark lip colors, but don’t want to commit.
Sure, your boyfriend won’t love it, but he probably doesn’t dig your lipstick all over his face, either.
As a self-confessed shedder, cleaning my brushes has always been a frequent, unpleasant chore, especially when I had long hair. I didn’t like pulling out my dead strands because the texture was dry and gross, and because I couldn’t never get my brush completely clean.
Gross brushes, meet my new friend, the Sam Villa Brush Cleaner.
Listen up, working gals and natural ladies: Love in Rio by NYX just might be your new favorite thing.
Here are two reasons NYX is always in my purse:
1. The endless opportunities. Love in Rio comes in 22 palettes for work and play, and the more bold palettes have some funky combinations that I’m dying to try.
2. Good packaging. I’m thankful that I can throw this guy into my purse and not worry about it getting damaged, and I love that I have three color options, even if I’m just rocking an itty bitty clutch.
This is a no-judgement zone, so I’m not afraid of disclosing my status as a budding bag lady.
Because of my constant purse switching, I keep samples of lotion in every bag to prevent my poor little fingers and elbows from ashing, and I’m always happy when I discover a Body Drench lotion at the bottom.
I believe in the power of masks.
As someone who had acne for years and inherited large pores around my nose and cheeks, I love masks because they minimize my pores, in addition to making my skin feel smooth and even.
A seasoned mask veteran, I’ll try any kind (Green tea? Volcanic ash? Bring it on!) from anywhere (who hasn’t run to the Dollar Store?), but this Glacial Clay Spa mask from Montagne Jeunesse is my first go with a fabric mask.
Made with arctic cloudberries and red grapes, this mask works with any skin type to cool and calm your skin. It’s also super easy to apply, because all you have to do is open the package, put the mask on your face, and gently pat it down to make sure it adheres to your skin.
Like any good clean freak and lover of the little things, I am all about treating myself to long, hot showers every once in a while. Along with serious amounts of steam and super fresh skin, I value a body wash that feels luxe and smells great.
Which is why I’m a pretty big fan of Aveeno Positively Nourishing Calming Body Wash.
Deodorant is not a sexy product.
However, deodorant eliminates B.O. and gives you a clean slate to start the process of becoming sexy. This November we wanted to help you on your journey to feel sultry and alluring, and, most importantly, confident.
