10 Products I’m Loving Right Now

Mascara

I recently came across this mascara after talking to my girlfriends in California and the majority of them have converted to this one not only because it gives you long, luscious lashes but it has growth serum already IN it. I am linking my favorite lash serum below that is INSANE but it’s expensive so this mascara is a two in one product.. so while still on the pricier side for mascara, you’re getting the growth serum already in it! What a deal!

Bronzer

Another cult favorite with my California crew.. those girls already have a sun-kissed glow and still ALL about this bronzer. The shade is: Luminous Bronze Light and gives you that perfect bronzer + highlight.. so no need for additional highlighter products. Again, a two-fer! And everyone feels better with a little glow these days. New fave for sure.

Lip Mask

Tried and true. Ride or die. However you want me to say it, it has and will always be my favorite lip mask. If you ever see a picture of me on Instagram and ask what my lip color is.. it’s just this. Sometimes with a liner but mostly just this. I wear it during the day as my lipgloss and at night. All day. Every Day.

Tanning Drops

Having a tan just boosts my confidence.. even if it’s just on my face. I toggle between Isle of Paradise and Tan-Luxe face drops but for now, Tan-Luxe is my preference. I just add 3-4 drops into my daily moisturizer 3x a week to keep up a glow.

Lash Growth Serum

A lot of people use and like Neulash but Revitalash is literally a miracle potion. I use it consistently every night on my lash line (upper only) and my lashes are SO LONG. I had eyelash extensions for years and gave those up not only because it was expensive and a lot of upkeep but also, they tore all of my natural lashes out #neveragain. I would never recommend lash extensions to someone unless you want NUBS when you stop. Revitalash SAVED my lashes and now they are literally so long and healthy.

Face Sunscreen

I’ve been on the hunt for a facial sunscreen that doesn’t leave my face feeling greasy or oily. I love my Drunk Elephant and have that in my lineup but my face has definitely been reacting to some of my products differently than before and I wanted a new facial sunscreen that didn’t feel like I had product on my face. This one by Shiseido is AMAZING and so lightweight… you don’t feel it on your face. Four of my girlfriends + one of their moms who is a beauty queen #literally all use it, too!

Lip Repair

Our lips don’t always get the same TLC that the rest of our face gets with all the serums, creams and lotions so when my aesthetician recommended this lip repair by Skinceuticals, I bought it instantly and it’s only $38. That’s inexpensive for this product line. I use it every night before bed, put it around my whole lip, the skin surrounding my lips and even under my eyes. Anything to prevent premature aging, I’m in.

Marula Oil

I recently have been having some bad breakouts all along my jawline and so I was over cleansing and over treating my face to try and tame my skin and it totally backfired. My skin became RAW, dry and cracked. Like.. painful. And anytime I’d even put a serum on my face, it would HURT. So, I stopped all the serums. I washed my face and then the only thing I’ve been putting on that felt good was the Drunk Elephant Marula Oil. Since it’s a CLEAN product with no added bullshit, it instantly moisturized without burning and my skin DRANK IT UP. I used it one night and the next morning my skin was like 80% better and less inflamed. I’ve since been able to incorporate my other serums into my routine but for about 5-7 days, it was cleansing and Marula oil ONLY. Love love love this product.

Tinted Moisturizer

I rarely wear makeup and especially not right now #whatsthepoint. But I always do my skincare routine and there are days when I just want to feel normal so I put on my Laura Mercier Tinted Moisturizer (plus it has additional SPF.. can’t get enough) and it just evens out my skin tone and makes me feel better about myself. Gives you a little glow.. that with the bronzer I linked above with a touch of mascara and your Laneige lip mask and you’re out the door… for a walk lol.

Hand Sunscreen with SPF

Alix and I have been using Supergoop’s Hand Cream for a couple years now and with all the hand washing and dry hands, this hand sunscreen/lotion is so important. You don’t realize how much your hands are subjected to the sun and everyone should be using a lotion with SPF on their hands.

What are you loving these days? Any products I should be testing out?!

xx, H
