Product Reviews

I love testing products so you don’t have to!

Volume Hack Lip Trio Kit. Love these lip products so much for an easy, plump lip look! I’m in shade Sweet Fig, but it’s available in 3 colors. They feel great on the lips and the liner is long wearing. They’ll be coming to Ulta soon, but for now I have this kit linked in my TikTok shop.

Ladies, let’s prevent tech neck! I’ve been using the Alpyn Sculpt Serum for two and a half months and am impressed with the results! My neck is definitely more defined and sculpted! Plus it looks smoother! A neck serum that actually works 🙌

Are you applying enough sunscreen to really be protected from the sun? You need an actual sunscreen along with your makeup that has SPF in it. Here are my top three sunscreens:
1. INNBeauty Project mineral Sun glow
2. Versed Daily Sunscreenn
3. It Cosmetics Hello Sunshine

Makeup by Mario Master Mattes Long Wearing Cream Eyeshadow Review. I’m loving these eyeshadows! They blend beautifully, are long wearing, and have a blurring effect. I wear them both on their own, and as a base to other eyeshadows. This is the shade Taupe which is a neutral brownish grey and great for mine and similar skin tones. One note is they dry down fast, so blend one eye at a time. Also apply them in a thin layer as they are a little thicker. It’s always better to build the color up than trying to blend too much product out!

I’m very impressed with the Maybelline Bubble Mascara! Love how it adds volume to the lashes. If you’re looking for a good drug store mascara option, I highly recommend this one.

Juicy skin, yes please!! INNBEAUTY PROJECT just launched a new gel cream that will leave your skin smooth, plump and juicy! The Recharge Gel Cream Plumping and Soothing Moisturizer is like no other Gel cream. It’s clinically proven to improve radiance, smooth texture, and plump fine lines. It also boosts the skins barrier immediately and over time. This has left my dry skin hydrated and I’m absolutely in love with this product! You can grab yours at @sephora

I recently finished the ELF cleansing balm and although it did a great job at removing my makeup, I didn’t love how it made my eyes blurry, so I won’t be repurchasing this one. Instead, I’ve been using the Versed Cleansing Balm for two weeks now and love this one! No eye irritation.

The perfect, just kissed, french girl red lip. Color Betise.

I’m on my third jar of the Alpyn Beauty Barrier Repair cream and am obsessed. If you have dry skin you’ll love this moisturizer. If hydration, non greasy, soothing and helps reduce fine lines over time. Take 20% off this weekend!

#LTKSaleAlert #LTKBeauty #LTKOver40

Okay, obsessed with the Tarte and Dunkin Collab. These maracuja lips are perfect and give the perfect touch of color. The charms are too cute!

Want hydrated, glowing skin? Then you’ll love InnBeauty Project Extreme Cream Lifting and Firming Moisturizer. This moisturizer not only adds deep hydration to the skin, but it’s also clinically proven to lift, firm, and contour while delivering an instant glossy glow. I’ve been using the Extreme cream for months now, and it’s a must have in my skincare routine, and a product I love to share!

#LTKBeauty #LTKSummerEdit #LTKOver40

It’s a lip oil and balm in one! And under $10. Wearing shade Caramel Glow.

#LTKBeauty #LTKFindsUnder50 #LTKOver40

These Too Faces Pillow Balms are SO good!! I’ve replaced my other lip balms and Vaseline for them!! I have the Original and the Hot Cocoa Kiss.

Let’s review the @maybelline Lifter Plump Glosses. Have you tried these? Although there was a slight plumpness, I feel like it wasn’t noticeable enough for the spiciness of the product. I’ll be sticking to the normal Lifter Glosses with Hyaluronic acid and the Lifter Liners.

#LTKBeauty #LTKFindsUnder50 #LTKOver40

If there is one makeup product worth splurging on, it’s the YSL Make Me Blush 24H Buildable Powder Blush. These are so good! The colors are gorgeous, they have a blurring effect, and are long wearing. Plus they sit beautifully on dry skin. Definitely worth the $45 price tag.

I’m wearing shade Pink Voltage

#LTKBeauty #LTKOver40 #LTKFindsUnder50

Morphe Shape Lifter Micro Contour Stick Review. If you’re looking for a contour stick that’s easy to use and very beginner friendly, then you’ll love this one! The small size gives you precision, while the formula blends out very easily. Although I didn’t find it long wearing, it did wear the same as all of my other favorite contours and cream bronzers. Definitely a yes for me! Plus you can’t beat the $13 price.

I’m in the shade Refined but will also be grabbing Sculpted.

If you’re looking for a blush with a beautiful, blurred finish, then you’ll love the Dior Forever Blush Soft Filter Liquid Blush. It gives a cloud-like flushed look and a luminous matte finish with an instant blurring effect. It’s log wearing, buildable and beautiful. I’m in the shade Petal.

#LTKBeauty #LTKOver40 #LTKFindsUnder50

Morphe nailed it with these lip liners and matte lipstick. I’m wearing the liner in Makeup Talk and my lip color is Ballet.

Back in February, I got to test out the K18 AstroLift Volume Spray thanks to Gloss Angeles Confidential (hence the bottle without a label) and let’s just say this product is now a staple in my haircare routine! Not only does this add volume to the hair, but the volume actually lasts! It also adds a bounce to the hair and makes it look smoother. It doesn’t leave a crunchy feel or make your hair look greasy and you can use it with without heat. I don’t know what magic is in this bottle, but I’m here for it, and highly, highly recommend this product.

Ladies, if you’re not using a Vitamin C serum, start now! Not only do they help with collagen production and to brighten your skin, but they protect the skin against the sun and free radical damage helping to prevent the signs of aging.

You all know that I’m a huge fan of INNBeauty Project, so when they upgraded the formula of their Green Machine Vitamin C Dark Spot Serum I had to try it! The serum now comes in a glass bottle with an airless pump so you don’t waste a drop of product. Plus it now comes in refillable packaging!

I’ve already noticed a more radiant complexion and love how it wears under makeup without any pilling.

#LTKBeauty #LTKOver40 #LTKFindsUnder50

I’m impressed. At the end of the day my makeup wore the same on both side and my skin felt equally hydrated. I’ve been using the MCo Beauty all week and really like it!

Clinique Moisture Surge Active Glow Serum Review

This is a lightweight milky serum with 5% lactic Acid, Hyaluronic Acid, and Vitamin C that exfoliates, hydrates and brightens for an instant and continuous glow.

I just finished my bottle, and let me say this saved my super dry skin! My skin was extra dry this winter, and none of my normal hydrating products were helping. I got to test out the Moisture Surge Serum, thanks to Gloss Angeles Confidential, and I’m so happy I found this product! It only took three days of using this product for my skin to change. It helped my dryness go away and now my skin looks hydrated and smooth throughout the day. As far as skin brightening, I haven’t noticed a huge difference, as I’ve been using vitamin c for a while, however, I love the milky texture of this product, the hydration it provides, and the fact that it is a gentle exfoliant and appreciate that it is fragrance free. I would recommend this for those with dry, aging skin and will be repurchasing.

OK ladies, I have found an amazing mineral sunscreen. You all know I’m a huge fan of InnBeauty Project and they have done it again with their Mineral Sun Glow. This is a mineral sunscreen with a broad spectrum SPF 43 and PA +++ that protects against UVA, UVB, blue light, and has antioxidant protection. It comes in three different shades, glides on smoothly, leaves no white cast, and wears beautifully under makeup. If you’re looking for a mineral sunscreen that does not leave white cast and feels like nothing on the skin. I highly, highly recommend this one.

I am in the shade, fair medium

If you’re looking for a matte, blurring lipstick that leaves a just been kissed look, then you’ll love these Violette_FR Bisou Balm Sheer Matte Lipsticks. I’m in shade Bêtise.

They glide on smoothly and leave the perfect wash of color on your lips. My lips felt a little dry after a while because I’m used to a glossy look, so I just added gloss over my color. Although it’s not long wearing, I was impressed with the amount of time it stayed on my lips (without gloss on top).

Okay ladies, if you’re looking for a product that will give your skin a glassy glow, sit well with your other makeup products, and not emphasize fine lines and wrinkles, then you’ll love the Haus Labs Bio-Radiant Glassy Balm Sticks!

These are hydrating, multi-use highlighters that can be used on the lips, cheeks and eyes. They’re formulated with 64% skincare, helping to boost hydration, and available in 6 shades.

I absolutely love the glassy radiance these add to the skin, while the stick packaging makes it super easy to apply. The first time I used it, I applied it with a brush over my powder blush, and noticed it did take off some of my blush. So now I apply it straight from the tube and tap it in with my finger, which doesn’t disrupt my other makeup. I’m using the color Glassy Pink Opal.

WIll you be trying these?

I’ve been using this Patrick Ta Blush for a week now, and am obsessed! It blends beautifully and is actually long wearing. I have the color She Goes to The Gym which gives the perfect mauve-rose flush.

#LTKBeauty #LTKOver40 #LTKWatchNow

Obsessed with this the cream. End of story.

#LTKOver40 #LTKWatchNow #LTKBeauty

Wearing color Mascara Tear.

Overall I’m impressed! Although I didn’t get a full 12 hours of wear, I’m amazed it stayed on for almost 4 hours with eating, drinking and napping before needing a touch up. I did start feeling a little dry on my lips at hour three, but nothing that bothered me too much. Overall I like the texture for a long wearing matte lip color. I don’t love the applicator, but that’s not a deal breaker for me. I would recommend this if you have an event or wedding, but know you will probably want to touch up before the night is over.

#LTKBeauty #LTKWatchNow #LTKOver40

Yes, it’s dry skin approved! I’ve been testing this Milk Makeup Skin Tint for a week and am impressed! It’s sits beautifully on dry skin, wears all day, blends perfectly with my other makeup and is buildable. Highly recommend. I’m in shade 6.

#LTKBeauty #LTKOver40 #LTKFindsUnder50

This eye brightener is creamy, doesn’t crease or settle into fine lines and wrinkles and is only $6!

I’m using color Light Rose.
