Talking about beauty products- whether it be on the blog or in person- is one of my all time favorite things to do. I love trying out products, because there is always something new hitting the market, and my goal for 2017 was to try at least 3 new products a month. My rules were simple- if I had already tried the product in the past, I could try it again- as long as I hadn't used it in six months and I would only buy travel sizes (if possible), so I wasn't out alot of money if I didn't like the product.
I must admit, 2017 was a VERY fruitful year in terms of beauty products, for me. Of all the products I tried, I was able to find 10 that would widdle their way into my daily line up, I was able to find my HG setting spray, and I was able to find a new toothpaste. AND the best part: the majority- if not all- of products were and are cruelty-free!
Hair
I am a dry shampoo addict. Plain and simple. So when I came across a product that was both dry shampoo AND conditioner, I knew I had to grab it. This makes my hair feel fresh and silky and doesn't leave a residue.
Most of the time I take showers at night. Since I hate blow drying my hair before bed, I love how this cream helps my hair air dry overnight and then it's ready to style in the morning.
The hair and body moisturizer is a multitasker that moisturizers both your hair AND your body- go figure! It leaves my skin feeling tingly/minty after a shower and gives my hair the moisture that it needs, especially since I have well water.
A thermal protector that I can actually stand behind. A few sprays of this product and my hair looks shiny and healthy. Plus I don't have to worry about fried hair.
Skincare
The set includes travel sizes of Squalane + Vitamin C Rose Face Oil, 100% Squalane Oil, Squalane + Peptide Eye Gel, and Squalane + Antioxidant Cleansing Cloths. 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.
The device is an at-home skincare tool that gives you professional microdermabrasion results and can be used on your face, arms, legs, and feet. 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.
It has a silky texture but doesn't just sit on my skin being all oily. My face feels so hydrated and soft.
Supercharged with vitamin c, this serum is like a daily multivitamin for the skin. It absorbs quickly and leaves my face feeling radiant.
This oil is seriously everything you have ever wanted in an oil- it's cruelty-free, vegan, natural, moisturizing, can almost be used everywhere, and SMELLS AMAZING!
Makeup
This powder does wonders on my face. Not only does it blur out my pores and sometimes uneven skin tone, but it also gives a nice glow.
My HG setting spray. Not only does it mattify my shiny skin, but it keeps my makeup from moving an inch.
Mascara is my all time favorite makeup product. I love the brush that the Buxom has- it's big with little bristles. It volumizes, separates, and defines.
Nails
The product contains keratin, which is a protein & a major component in hair, skin, and nails, and is my FAVORITE nail product that I have tried in awhile. I have been using it since October and I can actually tell a difference in the strength and growth of my nails.
Even thought it's a nail strengthener, I use it as a top coat. It helps the polish last, keeps away chips, and looks so shiny!
Other
With coconut oil and aloe vera, this tooth paste has a soothing mint flavor. I fell in love with the toothpaste due to its organic ingredients and policy against animal testing. For me, who has sensitive teeth, the toothpaste really helps keep my mouth clean.
