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

Black Moon Cosmetics Lip Trio | Makeup

  Mini Moon Liquid to Matte Nude Trio (Deep/Dark) I was happy to make another purchase from the indie brand, Black Moon Cosmetics . I bought the Urban Myth palette last fall and fell in love with it! The brand has since caught my attention over and over with it's clever packaging, overall asethetic, and unique shades. And not just with eyeshadow but with lipsticks as well. Their shade range in lip products are so cool and the packaging is beautiful. I have to say I'm still usually on the fence about trying new liquid lipsticks. To be honest, I feel I have found formulas/brands that work for me and that I know wear amazingly and feel comfortable (not too drying) and I've stuck to those when buying new shades. So it put me off for awhile until I seen them advertise these adorable tin moon holders. At first I seen them and thought of decor, they were so cute! I recently redecorated my filming setup and was in the market for little trinkets that caught my attenion and this one...

Amethyst | Gemstone Series

 Amethyst | Gemstone Series  Today is Amethyst. I have to say I started this look a little late in the day and was rushing the beautiful golden hour to get this makeup on and get decent pictures before the sunset.  *If this is the first gemstone look you have seen the others will be linked below, but the idea is creating looks based on gemstones every week and the challenge (not really) using the ColourPop So Jaded palette to create the eye look.  ✖️Brows: Anastasia Beverly Hills Dipbrow Gel (Blonde) ✖️Eyes: Mac Cosmetics Paint Pot (Painterly) ColourPop So Jaded Palette (Ametrine, Flourite, & Amethyst) Tarte Cosmetics Big Ego Mascara I started the look with the Ametrine shade right above my crease and blended it out with a blending brush. Then I took the Flourite shade on my inner corner and brow bone as my highlight.  Then, of course, the Amethyst shade in the palette. I patted it on the lid space with my finger before blending it in my actual ...
