Favorite Beauty Products This Month

I’ve been trying a lot of new beauty products in the past month, and like I previously mentioned I’ve been trying to use more natural products. Here are a few favorites and why I like them….

1. Honest Magic Balm : I’ve had this balm for a while but could never figure out the best way to use it, it’s too thin for a lip balm, doesn’t absorb well enough for a moisturizer and then my friend Beth told me she uses it as a highlighter. Genius! It’s the perfect dewy highlighter for an everyday look when you don’t want shimmer. I put it on after my skin tint. 
2. Herbal Hydration Complex: I recently got a little sample bag from Follain, the clean beauty e-tailer and this was one of my favorite products in it. It’s a wonderful mask for irritated skin but it also soothes and moisturizes, which I find is a hard combo to find. Most masks I use that help with blemishes end up drying my skin out.

3. Leahlani Kalima Cleansing Powder: I’ve been hearing about Leahlani skincare for a while now and was really excited to try out a few products. I love this cleansing powder! I’d say I use it about 2x a week when my skin is feeling dull, its a very gentle exfoliant that you mix with a little bit of water in your hand before applying. Like all of her products it smells incredible and leaves your skin so soft. 

4.  Honest Beauty Everything Primer Luminous Base: Since my beauty routine is usually very quick I rarely use a primer but wanted to try this one out – and I LOVE it. It gives your skin a great illuminating glow without being too shimmery and doesn’t leave your skin looking or feeling too greasy either. I put a very light moisturizer on before using but I’m betting in the summer you wouldn’t need one at all. I wear this under my skin tint as well.
5. Pix By Petra Lacquer Lash Primer: I’ve mentioned this product before but I just ran out and my lashes are pretty lack-luster looking without it. It’s by far the best lash primer I’ve tried as it doesn’t make your lashes clumpy but instead thick, full and defined.
6.  Aveda Rosemary Mint Body Polish: And finally I’m hooked on this body scrub, it smells so refreshing for the warmer months and I use it on my arms and legs 2-3x a week for super soft skin.
