Hello Lover

Happy Thursday y’all! Still covering the #NSALE andwe have made it to my favorite topic, beauty products. I love beauty and I am super picky about what I use. With that being said I wasn’t super impressed by the selection available this year. There are a few gems, so check them out after the jump!

I know we’re all doing alot of hand washing these days, and if you’re like me your hands are dry all the time. Kiehls makes the best hand cream I’ve tried, so you need to pick it up. I use it right before bed so I wake up with soft hands.

In my not so humble opinion, the French always come correct in terms of beauty products. I discovered this L’Occitane almond shower oil via Youtube years ago, and it’s a staple in my collection. It smells amazing, and if you use it to shave you will have the softest, silkiest, skin EVER.

Since smelling good is a must I would be remiss if I didn’t tell you about a body wash option. Malin+Goetz falls under the radar in my opinion, and their rum body wash falls into the category of sexy grown up scents.

If you’re like me and have a hard time picking out fragrances, than a mini set is the perfect way to try out different scents before you commit to one. Jo Malone has a diverse range of fragrances, and this collection is a perfect way to try them.

As far as skincare not much stuck out but there is one product I recommend. If you have large pores, acne prone skin, or just want to look more radiant overall than Paula’s Choice 2% BHA liquid is a must. It’s a chemical exfoliant instead of a physical, and I use it in the mornings a few times a week. After you cleanse and tone, use your hands to pat it into your skin before applying moisturizer.

We can’t forget hair and this set from Briogeo is a perfect introduction to one of my must try black owned brands. The scalp revival is perfect for clarifying and removing buildup, and the mask is great for repairing damaged hair.

Last but certainly not least, I couldn’t cover beauty without mentioning at least one face product. I saw a makeup artist say once that eyes will get you noticed, but skin will get you paid. I couldn’t agree more. Setting your foundation is key to making it last all day, and the Laura Mercier setting powder is a cult favorite for a reason. This set is a great way to try the powder and the foundation, and I’m sure it will convert you to a believer.

Those are my beauty picks folks! I don’t think you need every beauty product, but I do think you need a carefully curated collection of things that actually work. Let me know what you’re looking forward to buying in the comments!
