I started to love some new beauty products throughout December! I tested tons of new makeup, skincare, and hair care products throughout the month so that’s why the majority of my favorites are beauty products. Here are some of my favorite products from December!
1. Smashbox Studio Skin Flawless Oil-Free 24 Hour Concealer
This concealer is light-weight, long-wearing and SO brightening. It’s now been worked into my regular everyday simple makeup routine. I love how light it is yet makes me feel so confident without having to wear foundation. This concealer is perfect if you’re looking to cover dark circles, under-eye bags, and redness.
2. Dry Bar Triple Sec 3-in-1 Finishing Spray
I’ve shared this finishing spray on my Instagram a lot lately because it is part of my weekly hair routine (if you are interested in learning more about my weekly hair routine click here). I love how it adds volume to my hair especially when I use it a few days after hair washing day. It adds more life to my hair and makes it look a lot better. I also think that the Dry Bar finishing spray in particular smells really good and doesn’t leave any residue after washing your hair.
3. IT Cosmetics CC+ Cream with SPF 50+
I love wearing this CC cream because it is super-light, color corrects, and can replace a foundation. It is very long-wearing and even though it’s light-weight, it is still very full coverage. This CC cream is also SPF 50 and has anti-aging hydrating serum which makes my face feel so soft after taking off all of my makeup. They aren’t joking when they say “your skin but better!”
4. Grande Cosmetics Lash and Brow Set
I got this lash and brow set from Ulta on Black Friday. It comes with a lash enhancing serum, a brow enhancing serum and a conditioning peptide mascara and gives you about six to eight weeks worth of product. I’ve consistently been using the serums once a day over the past three weeks but haven’t used the mascara much. In such a short amount of time, I can already tell that the serums are helping! My eyelashes are getting longer and my eyebrows are starting to fill in more which is great because I’m lucky if I’m even able to see my eyebrows!
Ember mug is a temperature-controlled mug through an app on your phone. It allows you to drink your hot beverage at your own pace and you can control the temperature so it stays at the temperature that is perfect for you. I have a tendency to drink hot beverages very slowly and normally by the time I get halfway through my drink, it is already cold. This way I am able to finish my drink and don’t feel the pressure of having to drink it super fast. I got my Ember mug as a gift from my mom and I love it.
