![]() You’ve probably got items from each of these brands in your own makeup bag because they’re so popular, but they’re popular for a reason, and you don’t make a bajillion dollars from bad product. That’s honestly a hard thing for me to nail down, but I’ve got a few. That is, unless I create a line of my own one day …īut every so often, I am asked to name my very favorite makeup brands. I don’t want to be tied down to or obligated to rep any one name. This is also one of the reasons why I never intend to become an associate for any direct sales cosmetic or skincare line- I could make all the money in the world and I know I still won’t be loyal. I’m game for nearly anything in makeup, and my brand allegiance goes about as deep as that of the sweet ladies that Chris Brown likes to sing about. I’ve also invested in a couple pricy eyeshadow quads that nearly every one of my brides has worn as well. I’ve used drugstore products on brides and they have worked. But if you look in my train case, you’ll see the Revlon mixed with the Dior and I like it that way. I will try anything, from any brand, whether it costs five dollars or five hundred (and no, I’ve yet to try any five-hundred-dollar products yet because cash money). This goes for the haircare variety, skincare, makeup, perfume, whatever. I’m not known for being loyal to one brand in beauty. I still end my Adriene with some sweat, but also feeling stretched and content. Going through one of her routines feels so much better than doing a random bunch of jumping jacks just to get my blood pumping. I like to do a double cleanse with this and Glossier Milky Jelly for a yummy, extra moisturizing experience.īonus! The winter cabin fever fix: Yoga with Adriene’s “Yoga for a Dull Moment”Īdriene’s yoga videos are comforting year round (the sleepy time ones! the ones for stress!), but I love a 15-minute little pick-me-up that I can do in my living room even when I’m just having a moment of boredom. And according to Sephora’s Clean Seal, it has less than one percent of synthetic ingredients. It melts from a solid balm in a jar to an oily cleanser in your hands, and removes virtually all makeup. I was gifted this by a friend and wow– this stuff is all the motivation I need to put on makeup, just so I can take it off. The yummy excuse for a double cleanse: Farmacy Green Clean Makeup Removing Cleansing Balm I like to tap on my blush while smiling (smile big!) so the apples of my cheeks are really prominent, where you flush naturally. Tip: Don’t “sweep” or “swipe” on your blush as that can leave a streaky, harsh look on the face. This one in particular I’ve been loving for blush. I use an angled brush for contouring, bronzer, and highlighter too. I have to have that angle for everything. I’m not entirely sure how others do it, but I can’t seem to apply blush without an angled brush. The glow giver: Sephora Pro Angled Blush #49 I chose Chocolate Cosmo to add some overall shine and warmth to my midlengths and ends as my color’s fairly grown out. Her latest launch- the In-Shower Gloss- was an easy pick-up for me (especially as an indoors activity idea on a frigid day). She deliver things like bubbling scalp masks, similar to Bumble and Bumble’s Scalp Detox, for half the price of legacy brands. Her products look and feel professional (she is, after all, a celeb hairstylist), but they come at little more than $15 a pop and address a wide range of needs and styling desires. This woman’s line of hair products, tools, and accessories at Target is like catnip for me. The new launch: Kristin Ess In-Shower Gloss It’s got a wee bit of lavender oil in it so ensure you don’t have sensitivities to it before using. ![]() It lives up to its name: it’s incredibly rich, and my skin just drinks it up at night and still feels soft and supple in the morning. While currently out of stock (will probably be replenished in February), Priming Moisturizer Rich is maybe one of the best recommendations I can give for those in need of a serious grandma-style face cream. I’m just about out of this stuff, and it’s been a huge lifesaver for my skin in near sub-zero January temps. The dry skin saver: Glossier Priming Moisturizer Rich And when I think about it, it’s been a month of heavy product usage in order to combat dryness among other things, so it’s worth sharing! I hadn’t planned on creating this post but the 2019 Polar Vortex practically made me do it.
