My favorite spring fragrance...

I always wanted to be the type of girl that would have a signature scent, and I thought I'd have to try a million and one perfumes before I found it until I purchased this scent. I personally love the 30 mL version because it is still small enough to throw this into my purse and use this to freshen up if I'm going out later or if I want a quick pick me up. I love the freshness of this scent and really enjoy the hint of sweetness that the blackberry adds while still having the freshness of the bay scent.

Pro tip: I've recently tried layering this scent along with the Jo Malone Mimosa & Cardamom Cologne and it automatically transforms this scent to a warm and enticing scent.

Part of my daily ritual..

Oh my god, if you've ever wanted to give yourself a luxurious treatment and smell delicious all day long, look no further this is the body oil for you. It not only has the most delicious scent, but it leaves my dry skin hydrated and soft all day long. It has a delicate scent which is quite soothing and not overwhelming at all. I personally love the smell (and taste) of anything with jasmine, this scent is more delicate and quite natural. The scent does linger, but as mentioned leaves you smelling fresh and is not over-flowery at all.

I've been using this specifically around these cold winter months and I've found my skin feeling softer and nourished. If you're looking for something luxe to nourish your body look no further and give this a try.

An espresso shot for the soul

If you love coffee, you've found your match! This gorgeous scrub not only leaves my skin feeling velvety and soft. I have pretty dry skin so this helps me exfoliate any dry patches that I might have. I also really enjoy using this to prep my legs before I shave to ensure that I get a nice close shave. Above making my skin feel good, I really think that the scent of coffee wakes up your senses but the fact that this product contains natural caffeine mean that it helps with overall blood circulation which in turn actually make you feel awake and brighten up any morning shower.

Not only does this product have a delicious scent, but it also comes in a generous size and should last you quite long. I personally can't get enough of this scrub and look forward to trying more products from this brand!

Confidence everyone should try!

This cleanser is perfect for my dry/dehydrated skin, it doesn't over strip my skin of its natural moisture but leaves my skin feeling clean and fresh. I'm a huge fan of double cleansing and this is the cleanser that I typically use after I take my makeup off to ensure I get rid of all traces of makeup and grime. One of the main reasons why I'm a huge fan of this product is the ingredients. It has collagen, hyaluronic acid, colloidal oatmeal which are some of the best ingredients for those of us who suffer from irritation need and want. I personally have severe irritation and flaring due to how dry and tight my skin can get during the cold winter months and this particular facewash does not aggravate my skin and leave it feeling soft and supple. Overall if you are looking for a soothing face wash that really cleanses the skin look no further, and give confidence a try!

Best rescue cure for my under eye area..

I'm relatively young but know that it's never to early to start taking care of your skin and preventing sings of aging. I tend to have pretty dry/dehydrated skin, and especially during these winter months, I've been noticing that the skin under my eyes tends to feel tender and a little rough from the cold wind. I've been using this to prep my under eyes for when I put on makeup and obviously at night as well and the results are outstanding. Its lightweight gel texture makes it fast absorbing but also cooling to the eyes.

Since trying this item out, I've recommended this to all my friends as the investment they need to make. Although it seems like a luxury item, this has quickly become a staple item in my routine and can't seem to live without it.

My go to for glowy and plump skin

As a fan of Korean skincare, I was really excited to start venturing out and trying Korean cosmetics and this primer has so far delighted me. I personally have dry/dehydrated skin and tend to sway towards more hydrating primers that leave a nourished and refreshed feeling. I personally have found a match while using this primer, as it contains small light reflecting pears that give my skin give off a glow from within. It has a light gel-like texture and absorbs quite quickly, and leaves my skin feeling moisturized and tacky so that foundation actually binds with the primer to allow for my foundation to adhere to the skin. I also really enjoy putting a pump or two of this primer into my foundation and create my own custom bb cream for the days that I want my skin to give off the no-makeup makeup look, and recommend others to do so when they want to sheer out any full coverage foundation. Since trying this product I have repurchased for my mom and my best friend and they adore the way that this product sits on their skin. If you’re in the market for a primer look no more, and give VDL primers a chance!

My go to foundation for long days and fun nights

This foundation is by far one of the most gorgeous formulas that I have tried. This product is a hybrid between a foundation and concealer but it’s more than that. I have dry/dehydrated skin and was worried about the finish and how it might wear on my skin, so to prep my skin I used eye cream around my eyes and my most moisturizing primer. Instantly as I applied and blended this around my skin I was amazed at the coverage it offered. Not only is the coverage fantastic but it is incredibly luminescent and the finish made my skin look absolutely flawless and with a healthy glow. The finish for this foundation is a happy medium between radiant and natural matte, the goal of this foundation and any TOM FORD products is for the skin to look healthy and this foundation does not disappoint. The coverage of this foundation is medium to full, and although I usually would sway away from full coverage since I have dry skin, the formula of this foundation is so good that I wasn’t afraid to layer this around my discoloration or under my eyes. If there was ever a product that I will always splurge on it’s this magical foundation.

A refreshing breath of fresh air

This spray has become slowly but surely become a cult classic from Caudalie and I have got to say that I am in love with this facial mist. I had recently started using this as a refreshing mist to reach for when my skin felt dry during my day at the office. Soon enough, I was reaching left and right for this spray due to its addicting and refreshing scent. Although a lot of people claim that this product has a thick medicinal fragrance, I suggest shaking up the bottle so that you’re able to mix the ingredients and allow for the fragrant notes of orange blossom and rose to transport you to a high-end French spa.

This particular spray not only hydrates and softens but helps set your makeup all day. As a huge fan of the popular “All Nighter” by Urban Decay I would have never imagined that this facial mist would have similar setting power, but not only does it help set my makeup all day, it leaves me feeling hydrated and refreshed. Overall, if you’re looking for a scrumptious treat to give to your skin, go on and liberally spray some beauty elixir.

My new complexion hero

This complexion hero has definitely come to my rescue when I feel a breakout coming. I personally have dry/borderline dehydrated skin and this little pen which dispenses a clear gel-like substance helps calm and prevent breakouts from getting worse. My 2019 beauty resolution was to stop picking at my skin when I feel breakout develop and its amazing ingredients have made me grab for this pen whenever I feel a breakout coming or when I have a pesky blemish. The formula for this gel has ingredients such as willow bark extract which helps maintain my skin feeling clean without feeling tight, which helps since I don’t want to strip the natural moisture out of my skin. Another ingredient I’m crazy about is rosemary leaf extract because it has properties that help maintain the skin free of any bacteria as it has anti-bacterial properties. Overall I would say that this product would be a hit for anyone who struggles with sudden breakouts, or those who want to help prevent breakouts from starting.  

The answer for soft and supple skin

This is genuinely my favorite product I have discovered here at Beautylish. This particular balm will heal and moisturize even the driest skin. My younger brother suffers from eczema and once we applied this to his skin he instantly felt a difference in his skin, and the dry patches basically disappeared after a week of using this magic balm. I personally have moderately dry skin and I have found that using this while I am fresh out the shower has increased the overall texture and feel of my skin. This particular lotion also offers no scent or thick perfume which means I am able to layer as much product as I need without the overwhelming smell of a fragrance. Although the texture of this product is quite thick, it absorbs quickly, and it has been the first body moisturizer that I have found that maintained my skin in tip-top shape. If you have dry skin or have been feeling the winter blues affect your skin and its texture please give this balm a try, you won’t regret it!
