Spring Beauty Favorites
While I absolutely love my beauty products, I consider myself to be somewhat of a minimalist. To me, beauty is all about self love and enhancing natural features with a little makeup here and there (think Bobbi Brown vibes). That said, there are a few products that I believe have constantly stood the test of time…and they’re simply too good not to share!
Today, I’m rounding up (and linking) a few of the products I love most.
Eyes are the Story Mascara - This is the holy grail of clean mascaras, and works so well for my sensitive/dry eyes. It provides volume and length while also being extremely pigmented and buildable - and it never flakes!
Eyes are the Story Liquid Liner - Another amazing product for sensitive eyes! This felt tip is one of the best on the market, and makes applying liquid liner so easy. I’ve worn this on hot days, and this liner is totally smudge-proof. It’s also extremely easy to remove!
Living Proof Dry Shampoo/Volume Texturizing Spray - If I could only own two hair products, I would choose these! The Living Proof Dry Shampoo is the only one I’ve tried that doesn’t feel chalky or leave residue in my dark hair. It’s a great cheat if you don’t have time to wash your hair post-workout, and I use it a ton during the hot Virginia summers. I also love to use the volumizing texture spray after I blowout my hair to add a little extra bounce.
Buxom Lip Plumping Gloss (Dolly) - Where do I start?! Aside from the fact that the “plumping” actually happens, this gloss also has a minty/tingly feeling that leaves your lips oh-so-moisturized! I’ve been wearing the shade Dolly (a mauvey pink) for years now, but I also love Celeste (a clear, sparkly shade) in the summer.
Benefit Watts Up Highlighter - If you’re a fan of the dewey skin look, you must buy this product! It is perfect for highlighting cheekbones, brow bones and the inner corners of your eyes subtley. It’s hard to explain, but it creates such an amazing glow.
Caudelie Premier Cru Eye Cream - If you are seeking an eye cream that lifts, firms, and helps get rid of dark circles all at once, this is IT sister! I’ve always suffered from dark circles, and as I get older, I’ve experienced some volume loss under my eyes. When I use this eye cream twice daily, the difference is noticeable.
Dry Bar Double Shot - When the Double Shot dryer came out, I was ecstatic. I’ve never been able to use a hairdryer and round brush at the same time, so this was/is my dream product. I’ve now owned this for two years, and I use it 2-3x per week. Every time, I’m able to produce a salon-quality blowout from home…and because the heat isn’t too intense, it hasn’t damaged my hair at all!
