Itsalaxandra on LTK

I’ve gotten sooo many compliments on my sparkly magnetic manicure so figured I’d share here. I got my nails done with acrylics 6 weeks ago and did my own fill with builder gel about 2 weeks ago so you’ll notice a bit of grow out but they’re holding up SO well. I did a gel sandwhich with regular Essie polish in baby blue on top of the builder gel and then this magnetic silver sparkle gel polish on top and did a slight cat eye. It’s sheer so whatever color you put under will affect how the mani looks It’s such high quality polish and hasn’t chipped. You can also use this on natural nails !

I have created such a good flow with doing my own nails. Been practicing builder gel and hard gel for years now and finally feeling more confident with it.

But my nails haven’t had a break for a long time. They’re fully grown out natural and I decided to scrap the gel this time and do a shorter, clean and classic milky white on natural nails. I left a very thin layer of builder gel for strength so I will be tagging that here as bell since a nice slip layer will give better structure and strength to natural nails.

The nail polish I used is essentially “makeup” for the nails. It helps cover and conceal imperfections and make them look top notch with little effort! It is not a gel formula so it did take me some patience to let them dry 🙃

I will also be linking the drill I have bc that was essential for getting cuticles well groomed (aka Russian manicure technique)

Absolute best makeup bag. Periodddd!!! It has the best organization. I usually love a stand up makeup bag and was looking for something to replace my glossier one that is destroyed but this one stole my heart immediately

The only low effort I want is my makeup look. If you’re looking for a quick routine, this one’s for you! Full look in 12 minutes or less bc I yapped the entire time, as I do 😆

At 38, my main focus is skincare so I don’t wear makeup daily and if I do it’s lazy girl level bc I love being as low key as possible when it comes to beauty maintenance. Lemme know what you think!

One of the best things I learned reading the book ‘Atomic Habits’ by James Clear, is the power of habit stacking. It’s one of the only ways to truly maximize productivity time.

Obviously habit stacking everything is never a good idea either. I strive to be present for most things in life. But a combo that is mindless (to some degree) like walking and using my creative brain at the same time, is deeply fulfilling.

This has really helped my adhd a ton! It helps light up every part of my brain that feeds my reward system for accomplishment.

It isn’t really about doing “more” as much as it’s about being intentional with what feels aligned, fills me with satisfaction and feels joyful.

What are your favorite habit stacks?

Best wrinkle patches ever!!! I’ve been using these for almost a year. No b0t0x and my injector saw me and literally asked what I’ve been doing for wrinkles and expression lines… she was so impressed! (And no I still do not have b0t0x it’s been well over 2 years)

These are packed with peptides and other skin loving ingredients. I wake up smooth every time I use them! I also had them on my marionette lines but didn’t film that part.

I’ve tagged one pack I love but this is the pack that has the full forehead patches (it won’t let me add to my products on here): https://amzn.to/4twnzlS

My man got me this workout set + im sooooo excited. I’ve seen the ads for the sculpting leggings and I can’t wait to see if they live up to the hype 👀 🍑 they have an invisible “scrunch” effect without looking like a wedgie but still define the glutes! Gone are the uni-booty days!! I think I’ll be switching all of my workout clothes over asap 👏🏽

Been trying these for a while to MAKE SURE I could wildly recommend them. I’ve tried so many highly rated nip covers and these are hands down the best.

The really do stay on through anything… I even kept them on for workouts to make sure bc IYKYK that most nip covers sweat themselves off.

I’ve even been personally victimized by cakes 🤣 they literally do not work for me unless I’m wearing a skin tight shirt. But Nood No show covers can be worn with anything!!

Loose, low cut, strapless, backless…you name it! They’re your tiddies new bff. The best part is if you have big ol areolas, they are full coverage so no one will see a thing! They look smooth under any shirt and they actually give my little girls a nice lift and better shape 👀

If you need a bit more lift, I have linked a 'no show extra lift’ option.

If you have extra large girls and need even more support, I have linked ‘the game changer’ boob tape which is also unreal (future video to come!)

My favs are linked! You’re welcome in advance 😘

My current personality is at home Pilates, so you best believe I wanted to get everything I need for as cheap as possible plus make it look cute

In total, the essentials and power kits from betterme are over $250! Yes they’re beautiful and aesthetic but I pieced together my own neutrals kit à la carte for under $100! (Not pictured, stretching bands and 2lb weights) 9 pieces total

Facial dry brushing is my new fav activity. This lighting sucks but you can still see the results—lifted, more awakened tone. Obsessed is an understatement. (Technique tips below- # 2 is most important and most ppl don’t do it correctly)

Dry brushing for the face is really gentle and relaxing. It helps with blood flow, lymphatic drainage and temporary toning/lifting of the face.

A few important tips to remember bc a lot of people do lymphatic drainage incorrectly. I learned this from a certified lymph specialist years ago and I’ve used these steps ever since.

1. Always open your lymph channels before you begin this technique. This is located in the soft tissue behind your collarbone as well as your ears. A few simple palpitations/rubs of the area is all you need.

2. Start from the bottom of the face and work your way up. A lot of people start at the top of their face and work their way down, but imagine trying to move any fluid through areas that are still clogged up? Doesn’t work this way and create more harm than good over time. I start from under my jaw and push fluid down into the collarbone area to “dump” there. That will be your end point the entire time. Then I work my way up through each section of the face, and working my way down again with each pass through to effectively drain and not create any blockages or buildup.

3. Use skincare AFTER facial dry brushing.

…and stress leads to wrinkles in the forehead and 11 lines too. So a nice extra to relax the muscles and pull them apart. It instantly gives me relief 😮‍💨 I cut these small strips place one end down between my eye brows and press down to ensure it sticks. Then I pull up and out towards the outter corner of my forehead and tack it down and then press down on the entire strip to hold in place. Then repeat on the other side (but overlap them between the brows)

These stick on my oily skin care too. Just gotta hold down a little longer but they will stick perfectly which is wayyy better than a lot of face patches out there

Can’t believe this was my skin last year — August 2024 (slides 2, 3 and 4). And now my skin looks like this (slides 1, 5, 6 and 7).

Glowing, hydrated, smooth, fine lines + uneven skin GONE. Reverse aging FTW 🙌🏽 (I’m wearing makeup in both before + after to keep the comparisons fair and accurate)

Overall 10/10 product ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ I’ve been using these tanning drops for about 3 months now and I’m obsessed. They not only rate incredibly well on Yuka, making them one of the most natural tanning solutions I’ve ever found, but they also WORK SO INCREDIBLY 👏🏽 they’re easy to use in your normal skincare routine, with just a few drops added to your fav moisturizer for easy application and won’t clog pores so you can use them on your face!

I don’t use them every day, just when I feel like I need a lil boost (especially during winter) and they make my skin look so much more glowy and healthy.

The tan develops quickly IMO (about 2 hours it starts to show results) and keeps depending over 4-6 hours. Doesn’t feel sticky, doesn’t smell icky.

Also linking my fave tanning lotion for body as well! Haven’t used the mousse but linking that in case you prefer that formula!

Layering up is the signature style for fall in Wisconsin. It’s been pretty warm here so having stylish layers is my go-to.

My absolute favorite tanning lotion!! So hard to find one with good ingredients…..Rates 93/100 on Yuka 👏🏽 🌱 and no ick smell!

Great if you like a subtle natural tan or get a darker shade for a more intense color. I use medium to dark but could use extra dark for more color!

I also use the tanning drops and they’re amazing even for face! Next I’ll be trying out the mousse too (not sure how this rates on Yuka though). I tagged all of them for you!

It just works is a “deodorant” that removes stink from the inside, out. The claim is that within 1-3 days you will notice a difference in your smell with 1 or more capsules.

I took only ONE supplement yesterday morning (24 hours ago) and already I notice I don’t smell! I usually have anxiety sweats in the morning which smell really stinky and pungent, but today I have none! AND this is after working out and working a full day on my feet yesterday. plus I’m PMSing which is usually a “warmer” time for me.

I’m actually floored! I didn’t think anything could work for my stench and I already have a healthy diet and supplement protocol but this stuff lives up to its name…it just works! Try it out for yourself 🙌🏽

date night fit: brown tonal with a touch of snake🤎 my fav staple color is brown forever and always. Even before it became a trend. This leather skirt is so comfy and fit so well and same with the top! Soft and flattering fabrics FTW 🙌🏽 not to mention my fiancé complimented me on how easily I could walk in these heels even with my toe/foot being injured. They’re so freakin comfortable I want them in every color

These liners are so versatile, creamy, shimmery and blendable. Or precise if you want it to be! I have used this as an eyeshadow too for a smoky smoldering look 👀

I have on Smokey quartz and also own sequin green. Both are STUNNING! And honestly this video does it no justice

#LTKStyleTip #LTKBeauty #LTKFindsUnder50

Just woke up and wanted to show you the results from these forehead patches. Soooo good for smoothing wrinkles and plumping the skin 🤩 been using these for months and at this point I only use them maybe once every couple weeks as maintenance. 10000% worth it! I wanted to find a natural solution to wrinkles since I stopped doing Botox years ago and these patches hit allll the marks. They rate 93/100 on Yuka and are packed with peptides and skin loving ingredients to support natural and graceful aging ❤️

The full size patches are linked on my Instagram story today @itsalaxandra go follow!!

Ok so I did a little experiment for science 🤓 … I didn’t use these toner pads for over a week to see how my skin would look. The before is what it looks like without using them for a bit. The after is one use, so imagine what my skin normally looks like when I use them consistently 🤩

I’m linking absolute fav, tried and true toner pads that I’ve re-ordered for months now. I genuinely haven’t tried anything better that is as cost effective and actually works!! I also bought these for my friend and she’s already seeing results after a few uses too!

Brighter clarity, smoother skin texture, deeper hydration, clear pores + less blackheads…WINNING!👏🏽 I mix Korean skincare with waterless and it’s literally a dream. Comment SKIN if you want the rest of my routine too 💦 ✨

For reference…I’m 38 with an autoimmune disease that dries out the skin, and hormonal imbalances which also has affected my skin. So to combat all of that and still get the benefits really tells you a lot about the quality of my skincare. (Plus diet and lifestyle helps too)
