Beauty Items I am Loving

I always love hearing about the skincare products others use, so today I thought I would share some of my favorites.  Since last year I have really tried to take better care of my skin and be aware of what I am putting on my skin.  I have switched out many of the products I used to use for more clean versions without weird chemicals,  and you know what my skin has honestly never looked better.   Not every product I use is clean but many are and that is better than I was doing this time last year.  The older I get the more important skin care becomes, but for all you younger gals the earlier you start the better your skin will be as you age.  One huge tip that I think really helps is to drink lots of water.  I try to drink water throughout the day and hot lemon water at night or in the morning.  It really helps your skin not look dull.

Below are my current favorite beauty, make-up and hair items.  Most of these are fairly new items to my routine but I am hooked.  This post is not sponsored, I truly love these face products and swear by them

These are my current nightly skin care products.

\\ Countertime Enlightening Treatment Pads

For the price these pads are awesome.  You can even cut them in half to make them last longer.  I swipe my whole face and neck after I wash my face and before I moisturize.  I swear it has brightened my skin.  It also lessens the look of your pores as well.

\\ La Mer Moisturizing Cream

This cream is a real treat and one of my all time favorites.  It is damn expensive but it lasts a long time.  It really moisturizes my skin so well and leaves it super hydrated, more so than other face creams I have tried.  Fun fact my aunt used to work for La Mer and introduced me to it probably 15 years ago.  She would always bring us samples, sadly she longer works for them but thanks to her I am hooked on the line.

\\ Tata Harper Hydrating Floral Essence

I got this as a sample with my Tata Harper Face Mask and was skeptical at first.  I was like what will this spray even do??  But now I am hooked, I just ordered the large size.  It is a toner but it really moisturizes and makes your skin dewy.   I spray this on in the morning and at night before I moisturize.  I swear this has helped my dry skin so much this winter.   It really freshens your skin and leaves it tight and hydrated.

\\ Tata Harper Eye Cream

Love this eye cream.  I have such bad under eye circles I am pretty sure no cream will ever make them disappear, but I really like this one.  I like the way it pumps out and goes on not too thick and not too thin.  What I love about Tata Harper products is they really seem to refresh my skin.

\\ Tata Harper Face Mask

I mention this all the time but this face mask is good stuff.  I had to include it again.  I use it 2-3 times a week.  It makes your face get super tight while you are wearing it, so I feel like it is helping to tighten and firm my skin.

\\ Beauty Counter Lip Tint

I bought this lip tint in the twig color last Summer at a Beauty Counter Party I went to.  I loved it so much I ordered the Petal color.  It is such a gorgeous shade of pink.  The lip tint goes on so smooth and is the perfect hint of color. Plus I am sucker for packaging and I love the beautiful gold tube it comes in.

\\ Beauty Counter Touch Up Concealor

I just ordered this concealor and I am hooked.  It reminds me alot of the Yves St laurent Touche Elcat. You pump the stick and it comes out onto a brush.  It is light weight but really provides decent coverage.  I use this with my Cle De Peau stick concealer (because this tired mama needs double duty).  I have the Medium 1 color.

\\ Beauty Counter Face Tint

I decided to try this face tint out after loving all my other Beauty Counter products and this was no exception.  It provides excellent coverage and moisturizes at the same time.  I have the sand color.

\\ Living Proof Shampoo and Conditioner

I got the travel set of the Living Proof Shampoo and Conditioner in my stocking this Christmas.  I had heard such rave reviews about the line and it did not disappoint.  I swear it made my hair so sleek afterwards.  The travel kit is a great way to try it out before investing in the big bottles.  I did the Restore version because I figured it was best for my color treated hair.  They also have a Full (volume) , and No Frizz set.

\\ Wet Brush

This baby changed my life.  My hair gets so tangled after I shower and can be a real pain to brush out.  This brush makes it super easy.  LOVE it.

I leave you with this quote from the wise Diane Von Furstenberg.  So True.
