Beauty Product Reviews
Holy grail drugstore liner!
I love a good winged liner and this is honestly my go-to for this. It’s so dark and matte and doesn’t smudge! (It’s pretty similar to the Anastasia one for a fraction of the price!) It does dry out quickly, but if you use this often, you’ll probably never get to that point.
Dry, winter scalp no more!
So I've been using the Olaplex system for a while now and it's really nice but it makes my scalp really DRY (esp. during the winter!!) I always come back to Briogeo's scalp shampoo help me with any flakey-ness. I've used different tea tree oil shampoos, but they usually only solve my problems temporarily. I literally used this product ONCE and all my dry scalp issues were gone and have not returned. It's gentle enough to use as your daily shampoo but if you use it as needed, the 8 oz could last you for months.
for the softest lips
I received this in one of their gift sets and ended up using it until it was completely gone! Usually I lose my chapsticks before I ever reach this point, so, for me, the size of this is actually a plus since it made it difficult to be misplaced.
As for the actual product? I love it! This is one of the few lip products I was able to use without causing any allergic reactions to my lips/skin. Most lip moisturizing products contain petrolatum, which tend to cause these allergic reactions. Since this is petrolatum-free, I was able to use it as much as I wanted! With that being said, it was so moisturizing, I really only needed to apply 2-3 times a day. AND if you apply this right before you go to bed, you'll wake up with the softest lips.
(tip: you can also use this to moisturize those stubborn dry patches on your face/body if you're on the go)
FAVE BODY CREAM!!
My skin is pretty sensitive as far as scented lotions go, so I would normally stick to fragrance free lotions -- until I tried this! This didn't make my eczema flare up at all and it really helped keep my skin moisturized throughout the winter season without feeling greasy. Oh, and did I mention, it smells AMAZING! I love it!
Great for sensitive skin!
With the change in weather, my eczema always flares up, especially on my cheeks! This was the only cleanser I could use that didn't further irritate my skin without stripping the natural oils from my face.
ONE OF MY FAVORITES OF ALL TIME!
I love this palette! You can create a variety of looks with It - you're not just limited to pink and red eye looks. I find myself reaching for this palette often. You can easily create day and night looks with this ONE palette. The shadows are super pigmented and easy to blend! I say this palette is definitely a must have!
Perfect for all the glitter fans out there!
Whenever I want a little more shimmer for my lips, I turn to this product! It's essentially a clear glitter top coat for your lips BUT it doesn't alter the lip product you're wearing underneath! I layer this over all of my liquid lips and haven't had a problem with transfer or smudging. It dries down and leaves a nice sheer (but buildable) layer of shimmer behind. I love this product for nights out - I have all the shades, but my favorite is Embolden! I definitely recommend!
NECESSITY
I was skeptical about this product at first because of the high price point BUT you really do get what you pay for! After only a few days of using this, I already started to notice acne scars and other signs of discoloration were fading! Two months later and my skin's texture is much smoother and firmer (and although the winter air can take a toll on your skin, this product helps me to look glowy!) What I love most about this product is that it does what it's supposed to without drying out my skin (an issue I had with many serums in the past).
GREAT VALUE!
I recently discovered Nudestix's Magnetic Matte Lip colors and instantly fell in love! Sure, they're a little drying but that's true for most matte formulas, but they are also very long wearing! I decided to get this set because it seemed like such a good deal. And it is! You're getting 6 full sized lip products for about $12 a piece (the individual ones are $24) and all the shades included seem like they would suit many skin tones. I would definitely recommend this set to those who love long-wearing, matte nude lippies!
