Pink Moon Gua Sha Facial Oil

I bought this oil to gua sha with and quickly realized I wanted to use this EVERYDAY. It’s so nourishing but doesn’t clog your pores and I haven’t had one blemish the nights i’ve used this.

Doterra Console Comforting Blend (roll on)

My friend Misha sent me this roll on to help with coping after having surgery and OMG did it ever. I feel balanced and happy, I sleep well and bonus this has worked as a great deodorant for me. It already has a carrier oil mixed in so you can apply right to the skin.

Clove and Hallow Lip Velvet in Napa

This is the ultimate cool girl lip for fall. Deep and moody with just a touch of brightness so it’s not overwhelming and it’s a liquid lip so it doesn’t transfer too much in a mask.

One Love Organics Gardenia and Tea Body Serum

This body serum is amazing. It’s like a lightweight oil that’s super hydrating, sinks in quickly and smells like heaven. I already bought another one though i’m not finished with mine because I never want to be without it.

Beautycounter Beyond Gloss Lip Trio

When my favorite brand comes out with a trio of my favorite formula of gloss ever, you better believe i’m scooping it up. All three colors look so good on any skin tone and they are made with sustainable vanilla. The packaging is also gorgeous so they make great gifts.

Makeup Favorites

At the end of winter, dreaming of spring. These clean beauty favorites have me excited to put on makeup.

This collection of creamy lipsticks is so fun and support clean beauty reform. My favorite is the future is fuschia (pictured), which I will be getting a back up of.

Yes there is an actual full coverage clean beauty foundation that’s not greasy! This is legit the fullest coverage in the clean realm and it looks GORGEOUS on the skin. Perfect for a night out, photos or anytime you want flawless coverage.

Luminous pigment in Eva. A few of these new pigments were kindly gifted to me by the company and omg Eva is just gorgeous. I’ve been using it as a liquid highlight but you can also mix in foundation for a luminous glow. Major bonus it’s brown girl friendly!

Hey there welcome to my beauty favorites!

Catch what I’m loving this month.

Ok ok. I know I said this toothpaste was bougie and expensive and I wasn’t doing it but I did and it’s everything. It gives the clean of a traditional toothpaste and elevates it with super refreshing natural peppermint oil and I also love the packaging. My hubby uses with no complaints so it’s a win win for me. #floridefree #sulfatefree

I have a secret. I have been hoarding this luxe balm and not sharing because it wasn’t out yet, but now it’s open to the public!!!! This smells like heaven, makes your limbs look like you’ve had a professional treatment. Basically J-Lo status. Just buy it. You won’t be disappointed.

Kosas Lipstick in Thrillist

Confession time..... I still have a few traditional makeup pieces. Some things were so dope I couldn’t let go. One of them was MAC Dangerous Lipstick. It’s the most perfect orange lipstick to wear with a tan, I mean...... so I held on in hopes to find a cleaner option and I did! First off the texture and packaging of these lipsticks are 🙌🏽🔥. Also gluten free for all my auto immune issue honeys. But this color is spot on! Orange perfection but not too strong and the semi matte is model status.

Beautycounter Powder Fan Brush

It’s bronzer season! This vegan brush us super luxe, soft, and fluffy. It’s the perfect shape to do the c curve bronzer technique and it blends bronzer beautifully. This is also an excellent highlight brush and great for loose powder. So basically 3 in 1. My clients have been loving! P.S. My fave bronzers right now are beautycounter cabana and hourglass radiant bronze light.

Welcome to my monthly favorites!

I’ve literally scraped every last morsel possible out of this lip gloss and I’m not ashamed. The color is magic, goes with everything and the formula and wand are just to die for. Super duper glossy with no stick and really stays on.

Kosas tinted face oil is great! I mix a little in with my daily foundation to warm it up and give a gorgeous glow. A little goes a long way and I love the chic packaging!

Mineral Fusion Bronze Duo in Luster

I use the “bronze” side as a touch up powder but the real star here is the highlight. Champagne with a slight touch of gold. Subtle enough to wear everyday but glow enough to get noticed. Price is great and you can pick it up at your local Whole Foods.

And that’s it for my beauty faves. If you want to see my skincare favorites check out my Instagram stories under beauty favorites. See you next month.

Monthly Favorites

I love sharing my favorite clean beauty finds. I hope you enjoy these as much as I do. Here are my current faves:

www.beyondlanguagesskincare.com

this oil in roller ball form is the ONLY thing that healed my dry, cracked lips as it is colder than normal in DC. this is a local, woman owned brand. highly recommend .

www.takecareshopdc.com

All of the hype about these nail polishes is true. You will not miss the more toxic ones at all! Long wearing and super easy to paint and this color!!!!!

https://lilfox.miami/products/kalahari-eye-serum

this roll on eye oil is magical! lines basically disappeared and i had an issue with a droopy eye brow that is now high and tight. worth every penny!

www.kjaerweis.com

last but not least, i have been really into violet liner for a pop in my bottom lash line and this one is super creamy and lux. the color is everything!

Well that’s it my friends. I hope you enjoyed! Til next month.

i posted a pic of my shower in stories and i thought i’d share my staples and most repurchased items with you. first up body scrub: will give you the softest skin of your life, daily conditioner, i actually use this to shave, sooo good and lasts forever. cream exfoliator: for my face when i didn’t do my deep clean the night before and the body wash: my face wash i’ve ever used. smells great and so gentle for sensitive skin. happy friday! #saferbeauty #safebathproducts #safershower #greenbeauty #bodyproducts #softskin #whatiuse #beautyvlogger #beautycounter #glowingskin https://www.instagram.com/p/BpZXiUcFskh/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=3x928wi80k5w

Did you know 85% of women diagnosed with breast cancer have no family history of the disease? Prevention is everything. You can start by making safer choices like aluminum free deodorant and your skincare which sits on your face all day. Lucky for you I do have a safer option called best of beautycounter in the holiday section to get you started. Also proceeds of purchases until the 19th are donated to breast cancer research foundation. Just click social and breast cancer before checking out.
