Random Winter Beauty Essentials : Part 1

I wanted to feature a few things I have been enjoying lately. There’s always something about beauty essentials that make our beauty routines exciting! In my experience it seems hard to find the perfect fit or the best one that would work for you. Years of trying lots of new products, allergic reactions, money spent and amazing results have been worth it. Consistency is key so try the product you find and stick to it to see results before moving on to a new product.

Laura Mercier Tinter Moisturizer (Shade :Bisque 3W1)

The Laura Mercier Tinter Moisturizer that I use is in the shade : Bisque 3W1. This beautiful moisturizer has a lightweight consistency that is an essential 3 in 1 moisturizer, sunscreen and foundation! I love this product, I can’t believe it’s already been a year since I have been using this tinted moisturizer. This is a product that is a little but more in price but I would highly recommend it for that no make up, make up look.

The Ordinary 100% Organic Cold Pressed Rose Hip Seed Oil

The Ordinary has done it again! I have been using The Ordinary 100% Organic Cold Pressed Rose Hip Seed Oil for about a year now as well and this has been an amazing addition to my evening routine. This would be my last step in my evening routine to lock in the moisture, serums and eye creams. In the morning my skin feels suple and soft, feeling ready to conquer the new day! It doesn’t feel oily in the morning or heavy at all.

PanOxyl PM Overnight Spot Patches

The PanOxyl PM Overnight Spot Patches have been such a game changer. I used to love picking on my pimples, and I sometimes still occasionally do since this has turned into a bad habit. Guess what? picking on your pimples actually make it worse, and spreads bacteria and takes it longer to heal when you do. I had some doubts with these pimple spot patches but wow, they work. What a great addition to my evening routine.

Amika Perk Up Dry Shampoo

The hunt for dry shampoo is exhausting and frankly my least favorite because you never know the smell, the texture and everything else unless you’ve tried it. I have been struggling with hair loss in the past year or two due to hormonal changes, grief and stress. I am also used to washing my hair everyday due to the thinning and oiliness it brings when you don’t have enough hair. Washing your hair everyday is not good for your scalp or hair so I have been trying other dry shampoos but still they left me disappointed with terrible chemical smell, chunks of my hair falling out and more. Since I found Amika Perk Up dry Shampoo, that has changed tremendously for me. I love this brand and product. I simultaneously use their shampoo/conditioner as well.

The Inkey List Omega Water Cream

The search for lightweight moisturizers is over. I have used the hydroboost from Neutrogena Hydro Boost Night Pressed Serum for years, during my day routine and night routine. I love the Neutrogena Hydro Boost but I wanted to dry something with a different ingredient and preferably one that did not have any fragrance. The Inkey List Omega Water Cream is a great alternative to this, love the packaging and I love that I don’t have to expose the whole product to the outside world which keeps the product fresh. This is my daily moisturizer and it’s lightweight, fragrance free and has niacinamide. I have been using this product for about 2 months now and so far I am loving it!

The products I have listed above are my current favorite go to’s for the winter and would love to hear if you have tried them as well. I picked these randomly from my routine so let me know if this helped you in any way!
