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

Tarte [Make Believe in Yourself] Mystical Dreamy Blues Tutorial

 Tarte [Make Believe in Yourself] Mystical Dreamy Blues Tutorial  I recently did a review the Tarte Make Believe in Yourself   eyeshadow palette. In that review I shared some looks that I created with it and will be sharing each of those tutorials with you. First Aid Beauty Ultra Repair Cream. I started this look by prepping my skin with First Aid Beauty Ultra Repair Cream. I used this because my skin was so dry! I followed that up with Physicians Formula Primer Argan Wear (with coconut and argan oil). I used that as my primer today.  I also used some color corrector concealer from the brand Aurora in the shade Pistachio. This is a new favorite of mine! I love how well it covers up any redness or blemishes. This was mentioned in my last Ipsy blog (I'll link below).  Physicians Formula Primer Argan Wear Aurora Pro Color Corrector (Pistachio).  EOS lip balm I moisturized my lips with some  EOS lip balm and ...

Makeup Monday // JSC Jawbreaker + Mini Breaker

Makeup Monday // JSC Jawbreaker + Mini Breaker I wasn't sure if I'd bring palettes back to my blog or not since they're discussed so much on my channel , but for sake of a pretty photo-op moment, I'm doing this. Ha!  I'm usually over the moon for every Jeffree Star Cosmetics launch and this one wasn't any different. I feel like only Jeffree could make a palette this full of insane colors and get away with it. With that being said when opening the Jawbreaker palette I can honestly say I did feel a little overwhelmed which is weird because I'm not one to shy away from color. I think it can still be challenging finding the right shades to put together to complement each other, but I can say once you dip into the shades that feeling goes away quickly. It's not as intimidating as you think it is. I created four colorful while still bring wearable looks with the Jawbreaker and had fun each day picking the palette up. I love being excited to do ...

Skincare Reviews // Coola, Vasanti, Clinique, Avatara, & I Dew Care

Skincare Reviews // Coola, Vasanti, Clinique, Avatara, & I Dew Care Coola Sport White Tea Moisturizer SPF 50   $32 I took this gem with me on vacation and it did amazing! With an SPF 50 I didn’t have to worry about getting my face burnt. Who wants dry, red, and peeling skin when you have videos to film and blogs to get done? Not me! I took my skincare very seriously and this item made it super easy! Although, this has SPF is was just a moisturizer. It also felt just like a moisturizer, not oily, greasy, or film-like at all! It sank right into my skin and kept me protected. I can also say this worked with my sensitive skin well and didn't break me out at all! If you're fair, burn easily, and have sensitive skin I really recommend this product. Even if you don't, I recommend this as a great SPF moisturizer that everyone could benefit from.  Vasanti Brighten Up! Enzymatic Face Rejuvenator $29 I tried this product sometime last yea...
