Glow Recipe Avocado Melt Retinol Sleeping Mask | Skincare

 Glow Recipe Avocado Melt Retinol Sleeping Mask | Skincare


Do you also hope you end up loving Glow Recipe products because the packaging is so cute too? Just me?  Ha! For real though.. I love how cute it is plus I found out recently that they have a recycling program. The jars you can repurpose, but you can actually send the plastic parts back to them. Amazing skincare and sustainability in the mix? Yes, please! This product I received in Boxycharm and just like many I sometimes cringe when I read retinol. Don't get me wrong I'm all for some aging prevention, but at what price? Some in the past have been way too intense for my skin and I feel like I stress too much about the protection of my skin against UVA and UVB rays. Any product with "retinol" in any shape, size, form.. I beg you to protect your skin with SPF. Retinol is best used at night so it works out to apply SPF in the morning. It's really important to remember. 

This product is a sleeping mask and when I say mask.. I mean it is a thick leave on overnight cream. You wash your face like normal in the morning to take it off. Although, you can use it as a flash facial as well.  It is a super thick cream and my dry skin was hyped about this! It doesn't really have a scent to it which is a plus for many. As you can see in the swatch picture it is faintly green (more like a light sage or something), but not as bright as the packaging. I find avocado products to be hydrating, cooling, and calming so I wondered how this product would be with it and retinol combined. This is honestly the most gentle retinol product I have used. Not only do I wake up with super hydrated skin, but it feels so smooth and plump. I've been using this for the past two months. I usually slowly add retinol more and more into my routine so I started with one night a week and have worked my way up to just about every night recently. Sometimes I stick to every other night and that seems to be a great routine with this. The hydration alone I think would be fine to skip every other night. It is super gentle so even if you work your way up to every night I don't see it harming your skin whatsoever. Besides the retinol you have the avocado that has vitamin C and E that are going to brighten the skin and also help with fine lines/wrinkles. It also nourishes and calms the skin. This product has  PHA that works as the exfoliator and matcha which is known to be super calming and soothing to the skin. Plus the other great things about this brand and what they stand for makes me so excited to have a product like this that works so well for my tricky skin. I'm in love and have since been trying some more products from Glow Recipe that I will review soon. XO

Revlon ColorStay Skin Awaken 5-in-1 Concealer | Makeup

  Revlon Colorstay Skin Awaken 5-in-1 Concealer  Revlon has a new Colorstay concealer that I had to share for different reasons. I've been trying it out for the past few weeks and have my shades down and also the way I like to apply it! So I thought I would let you in on my secrets... My fair with neutral undertones skin has done best with the shade fair in the concealer although I'm super close to the shade, vanilla as well. My absolute favorite way of wearing this concealer formula is day-to-day by itself. It's that "your skin but better" look where I only use spot concealer under my eyes and where needed. It blends in without leaving weird patches but wears nicely in place. The only complaint here is the creasing I do experience with fine lines and creases that are on my skin. A little setting powder fixes that. I have tried the universal neutralizer and wasn't a fan. I'm sure it would be nice for most, but my fair skin doesn't mix well with the sha...

Good Molecules Cleansing Bar & Caffeine Energizing Hydrogel Eye Patches // Skincare

Good Molecules Cleansing Bar & Caffeine Energizing Hydrogel Eye Patches // Skincare I have plenty of skincare blogs coming your way, but I wanted to post again about Good Molecules and their products I've been loving.  I do have a video on these products, mainly so on the eye patches, but now that I have been using both of them for awhile I wanted to share my thoughts.  Caffeine Energizing Hydrogel Eye Patches I have always enjoyed any eye product. From eye masks like these to eye creams. They both make a huge difference in my skincare. I go through spells of little sleep and gradually see my under eye area get darker and darker. I'm also paranoid of getting eye wrinkles so I try to keep my eye area super hydrated and even throw in anti-aging in the mix once in awhile. What I can say is that I was not expecting what happened with these eye patches. Yes I'm used to hydration boosts with eye masks, but the difference you see immediately with th...

Skincare & Makeup Haul

Skincare & Makeup Haul I've never done a "haul" on my blog before, but I thought it would be a cool idea plus it would be a sneak peak of things that I'll be trying out for future reviews.  Skincare: I have been loving trying out new skincare items and although my skincare bin is a little full at the moment there was a few things I was running low on and a few things that I couldn't pass on!  I was running low on both makeup removing wipes and micellar water, so I picked these up at Target. I often use a moisturizer from the Simple brand, but I've never tried their wipes or micellar water before. It's cheaper in the long run buying the two pack of wipes, but I do hope these work good!  My nose has once again started getting clogged with blackheads. I've been trying out a few different foundations and wearing makeup just about everyday and my skin just isn't use to that. After taking a two week break from makeup a...
