My Favorite Things: Beauty & Skincare Products

This may be my favorite subject!  I LOVE beauty products- especially skincare!  I have SO many favorites that I'm going to have to a whole other blog post just about COSMETICS next time!  This is more of the bath & body products.

I absolutely can't live without:


1)  Clarisonic Mia & Refreshing Gel Cleanser - $119:  My face will never feel clean anymore unless I use this!  It takes off every bit of that dirt, oil & make-up and even has reversed signs of aging!  My fine lines are nearly gone now!  LOVE this gadget & the refreshing gel cleanser is SO gentle!

2)  St. Ives Fresh Skin Apricot Scrub - $2.99:  This is my go-to scrub when I need a little more exfoliation!  I've always loved the way my skin feels so tight, firm & clean afterwards!  And its a STEAL at $3!

3)  Eucerin Calming Creme Daily Moisturizer - $5.97:  I have really sensitive skin so I use this on my face, elbows, arms, legs, neck, chest, stomach....you get it!  Its gentle, soothing & very effective in moisturizing dry skin!  I've tried it all & this baby - WORKS.

4) Josie Maran 100% Organic Argan Oil - $48.00-  OMG.  This product has my heart.  I am absolutely OBSESSED with argan oil these days.  I put it on my face & elbows.  It purifies and shrinks your pores, and it moisturizers better than anything I've ever used!  Miracle worker in a bottle!  OH!  And I use it as hair serum & a few drop revives my dull color...seriously.  It's amazing!  LOVE, LOVE, LOVE!!!

5)  Bobbi Brown Moisturizing Eye Cream  - $49.00:  Can't live without it!  Wakes my tired eyes up, keeps them moisturized & reverses fine lines & aging.   I put it on before I apply make-up and before bed.  Great product!

 

6)  Vaseline 100% Pure Petroleum Jelly - $3.29:  Oh Vaseline.  Such a beauty staple.  So many uses for you.  Eye make-up remover, lip balm, 10 minute moisturizing face mask, burn & cut soother, eye cream...I always keep one or two around the house at all times.  I use it non-stop!

7)  Jergens Firming Daily Moisturizer - $8.50:  Whenever this fair-skinned girl needs a little color, I turn to Jergens.  Their new formula barely has any "sunless tanner" odor to it now.  And it firms up my skin! Husband approved, all-around! ;)

8)  Dove Moisturizing Anti-Perspirant - $3.29:  The best!  No more razor burn with this deo!

9)  Elizabeth W Vetiver Eau de Perfum - $38.00- My signature scent.  I found it in Florida about 5 years ago & absolutely fell in love with it!  It's rich woodsy, clean undertones, with a hint of powdery yet slightly masculine finish is just so heavenly.  I love it.  It's definitely not something you smell everyday!  Made for the bold, creative woman, for sure! It screams unique! :)

 

10)  True Blue Spa Paraffin Hand Cream - $6.00- When I worked at Bath & Body Works in college, I was OBSESSED with this hand cream.  Now as an adult, I've rekindled my love for it!  It's citrus smell is amazing, it instantly soothes dry hands & feels like you just got a parrafin dip at the salon!  If you want pretty hands, this is it!  I always carry the travel size with me to use after sanitizer! :)

 

11)  Freeze It 24 Hour Hold Hairspray - $9.92:  OMG.  Everyone knows I love changing up my hair.  This hairspray lives up to its name!  My short, stacked hair stays in place, in wind or humidity - all day!  My curls & waves stay tight!  My teased "bump" stays sky-high.  This is one of beauties best kept secrets.  I've tried them all - Kenra, Big Sexy Hair, Sebastian & allllll the store brands.  I loved them all.  But I just keep coming back to old faithful here.  Try it - it won't break your bank at all!  And it rocks! :)

12)  Rembrant 2-Hour Teeth Whitening Kit - $18.86:  If I need a quick whitening before an event, this is what I use.  I'm an instant gratification person & this product whitens up to 10 shades in 2 hours.  Warning: As with any whitener or bleach kit, it can make you teeth & guns a little sensitive...but if you're in a rush, it's almost worth it! ;)
