7 Beauty products that are worth the hype

When it comes to beauty products, I love a good deal, but sometimes there are beauty products that are marketed as cult favorites and they are occasionally expensive. Today I am sharing a few of my favorite beauty products- high end & drugstore- that I truly believe that are worth ALL THE HYPE and money!

one // Becca Soft Light Blurring Setting Powder in Golden Hour

What is it? Cruelty-free and formulated without parabens, sulfates, and phthalates, the Becca Soft Light Blurring Setting Power is great to use with or without makeup. Essentially the feather-light power works like a veil to blur skin imperfections, and it does not cake or settle into fine lines.

Why I love it: I am a simple girl, and my make up is the same way- simple and natural. There are some days I want to just use some mascara, fill in my brows, and use a powder. The Becca powder does wonders on my face. Not only does it blur out my pores and sometimes uneven skin tone, but it also gives me a nice glow.

two // Biossance Weightless Wonders

What is it? The Weightless Wonders is a set that includes travel sizes of Biossance's best selling products: Squalane + Vitamin C Rose Face Oil, 100% Squalane Oil, Squalane + Peptide Eye Gel, and Squalane + Antioxidant Cleansing Cloths.

Why I love it: I can't even begin to gush about my love for the Weightless Wonders set. I use the Squalane + Vitamin C Rose Face Oil almost daily, and my skin looks like it loves me. Not only does the oil smell so good- like roses, duh, my skin feels hydrated and looks glowy. I also really like the Squalane Oil. It's very moisturizing to my hands and when I put it on my hair, my husband told me my hair smelled good.

three // ORIGINS Original Skin Matte Moisturizer with Willowherb

What is it? A mattifying moisturizer for hydrated, healthy-looking skin. Formulated with pink rock rose and willowherb to boost radiance, refine texture, even tone, and visibly minimize pores for a soft, smooth feel and a positively luminous look.

Why I love it: When I use moisturizer on my face, my face tends to get a bit oily. BUT not with the ORIGINS Original Skin moisturizer. It dries matte and keeps my face oil free all day. ALSO- the moisturizer smells so darn GOOD!

four // Fenty Beauty by Rihanna Pro Filt'r Soft Matte Longwear Foundation

What is it? Since Rihanna came out with her new namesake beauty line, people have been going crazy for Fenty Beauty. Cruelty free and made without Parabens or Phthalates, Fenty Beauty's foundation comes in 40 shades, gives medium to full coverage, and is buildable.

Why I love it: I totally understand the hype behind Rihanna's foundation- it's sooo lightweight! I love how the foundation effortlessly blended, felt amazing, and gave me a beautiful finish. Considering how much I loved the foundation, I would definitely try out other beauty products in the line!

five // Kenra Professional Shaping Spray 21

What is it? The first of its kind, the Kenra Professional Shaping Spray 21 is essentially an alcohol free hairspray. It also provides maximum moisture retention with an extra firm hold and high shine finish.

Why I love it: Kenra makes some really great hair products and the Shaping Spray 21 is no different. The Shaping Spray not only smells ah-mazing, but it has a firm hold that I can still run my hands through and doesn't weigh my thin hair down. The best part: I am able to spray it on my dry hair, curl it, and the curls ACTUALLY stay!!

six // NYX Makeup Setting Spray- Matte

What is it? The NYX Makeup Setting Spray - Matte leaves a beautiful shine-free matte finish that is lightweight and comfortable while making sure your makeup stays put. The spray is also cruelty-free.

Why I love it: I'm a girl that has tried a lot, and I mean A LOT, of setting sprays- I really hate when my mascara moves. So when I saw a review of the NYX spray online, I was interested in trying it. I bought it, used it, and it's now my HG setting spray. Not only does it mattify my shiny skin, but it keeps my makeup from moving an inch.

seven // PMD Personal Microderm

What is it? The Personal Mircoderm is an at-home skincare tool that gives you professional microdermabrasion results. You can use the tool on your face, arms, legs, and feet.

Why I love it: I can't even begin to tell you how easy the PMD Personal Microderm is to use. After one use, my face felt so much smoother and healthier. The best part: even though I have sensitive skin, the PMD Personal Microderm did not irritate my face.

Have you tried any beauty products lately that you think are worth the hype?
