Since I'm just kicking off this feature, it's so hard not to do this post daily. Of course, when it comes to beauty loot I have a ton of favorites, but I promise to always bring you a well edited list of the best of the moment. When I walk into a drugstore, Sephora or department store, I am beyond overwhelmed with options so I hope this helps you cut through the clutter. If you're looking for something specific and need a product recommendation, you can always reach me on Facebook! Truth is you hands and your neck give away your age quicker than your face. That's thanks to the extra TLC we give our faces in preventative and corrective measures. I was super impressed when I was introduced to Avon's Absolute Even Multi-Tone Skin Corrector + Hand Cream, because it has SPF 15 for protection, but also helps to even out your skin tone. I use hand cream about eight times a day and now don't have to think about getting old lady fingers.
While Laura Mercier's Cavier Stick Eye Colour, $24was created to help enhance a smoky eye, I like using it in Rose Gold as a wash of faint color all over my lid. It makes me look more alive and is perfect for daytime. Believe it or not, it consists of a creamy texture that doesn't crease and stays put all day. Promise. Since it's creamy, if you plan on layering it, let it dry between coats or it will be sticky.
While I normally like wearing dark greys or almost black shades on my tips, I am completely obsessed with Jin Soon's new Nail Polish in Blue Iris, $18. The electric blue pigment is so bold that it's a conversation starter all on its own.
Anything that's labeled "stress-minimizing" is worth a try. My latest conquest has been the Kiehl's Skin Rescuer Stress-Minimizing Daily Hydrator, $40. Truth is, it helps minimize and prevent the effects that stress can have on your skin like fine lines, blotchiness and inflammation. Yoga classes are still helpful.
While It Factor's new product Simply It, $21.50 cuts drying time, I'm kind of obsessed with it because it makes styling so much easier and let's just say that this bob isn't always willing to cooperate. It literally does everything like adds shine, acts like a detangler, adds moisture and is a heat protectant. I like it because it smells so clean. I start my day using it and even use it mid day for touch ups as a style refresher.
