5 Beauty products I can't live without
I may not be a famous beauty influencer, but I did work in the industry and have a pretty impressive arsenal of beauty and skincare products. While I’m always down to try the newest thing (and I literally haven’t NOT bought a new Glossier launch yet), there are a few products I use every single week and can’t imagine life without. Here are my curent must-haves:
Julep Love Your Bare Face Detoxifying Cleansing Stick
You may recognize Julep for their fun nail polish collection, but as it turns out they also make skincare products. After using a sample of this twist-up stick cleanser, I was hooked. It has a balm-to-oil texture and natural enzymes for gentle exfoliation. I use it every morning and it’s also perfect for traveling.
Fresh Sugar Rose Tinted Lip Treatment
An oldie but a goodie, this sheer pink lip balm is literally always in my purse. When I’m not using it solo, it works as a re-activator of faded lipstick. It’s SPF 15 so you can bring it to the beach too - just remember to let it harden once back in cooler temps.
Chanel Le Volume de Chanel Black Mascara
I must have tried over 50 mascaras in my adult life. And none have the texture, pigment, buildability, brush, and total amazingness of Le Volume. [Prayer hands emoji]
This color is nice all year round on my light olive skin, but it really looks great when I’m tan because of the warm brown undertones. It’s super lightweight and provides a really nice flush of color. Feels like you’re wearing nothing at all and light as a, well, cloud.
ColourPop Blotted Lip in Lolly
Color Pop is such a fun brand at a great price point. Their blotted lipsticks are the perfect amount of pigment for a punchy, but worn away look. When I wear this berry shade, I keep the rest of my look simple: mascara, blush and highlighter, and I always get compliments. For only $5, how could you not try it?
