  • #glowhigher With @paulaschoice’s newest moisturizer- Omega+ Complex Moisturizer. This moisturizer was released just in time for spring so how about a #minireview! . Omega+ Complex is packaged in a 1.7oz airless pump dispenser. Naturally, this is the best packaging for moisturizers because there’s no worry about cross contamination. . Omega+ Complex dispenses like a cream but has the texture of a water-gel moisturizer. It’s literally magic the way it feels as you rub it into your skin. There’s no fragrance, no dyes and not tested on animals. . The ingredients list is an all-star lineup of antioxidants (passion fruit, chia seed, guava, flax seed), hydration (sodium hyaluronate) and moisture (Shea butter, olive oil, cholesterol). . Pair this with the Omega+ Complex Serum for double the antioxidants! Got questions? Have you tried this yet? Talk to me!!! ————— #presssample #paulaschoice #omegaglow #pcomega #skincareroutine #skincaretips #skincare #skincareproducts #heyaprill #savingface #flawlessskincare #flawlessskin
  • Ahhhhh it’s #thirstythursday right? So let’s talk about your thirsty skin and how to quench it. Once upon a time when you were young and like really pretty (you still are ok?) your body made tons of hyaluronic acid. You still do, just not as much and it’s written all over your face- dry, sallow, maybe super oily. All signs of dehydrated skin. Adding a product with #hyaluronicacid (HA) to your #skincareroutine will give your skin the hydration it deserves. It holds 1000 times its weight in water and gives the skin an instant burst of hydration. Everyone needs it, just add one to your routine and trust me ok? . From left to right: @deciem HA + B5, @sanonaturals, @delishcondish, @lumeneusa, @pcaskin Hydrating Serum, @neutrogena Hydroboost Multivitamin Hydrating Serum, @pcaskin Hylauronic Acid Boosting Serum, and @we_love_hadalabo. . Shoutout your favorite HA serum. Questions? Ask below. . #hydrating #hydration #hyaluronicacid #ha #skincare #skincaretips #thirstyskin #relief #sos #heyaprill #savingface #hadolabo #neutrogena #pcaprosknow #deciem #delishcondish #sanonaturals #lumene
  • I finally took the leap and picked up a few goodies from @glossier. What pushed me over the egde? That glitter eyeshadow from their new Play collection. I got the birthday balm dotcom and Glossier Play Glitter Gelee in Bijoux Bijoux. Swipe for swatches. The First photo is Birthday Balm, the 2nd is Bijoux Bijoux. The glitter gelee is gorgeous. What's your favorite Glossier product? #glossier #glossierplay #bijouxbijoux #glittergelee #eyeshadow #beauty #makeup #balmdotcom #glossier #heyaprill #savingface #skincareproducts
  • Seriously though, is there an indie brand that ships faster than @westernandrose? I tweeted about wanting to try the new scents Friday, ordered Friday and Monday my order arrived! She added new scents for Spring 2019 and I had to give them a sniff. I ordered Warm Cotton, Peach Poppies, and Spring Peach. Here's what I thought: . Warm Cotton is very light, almost a little too light. It's very clean, warm and subtle. This would definitly work as a before bedtime scent and I would pair it with @cleanperfume Clean Reserve Warm Cotton. . Peach Poppies smells just like the peach gummy ring candy. It's light, warm, playful and fresh. I'd pair this with @vincecamuto Bella. . Spring Peach smells like like a more green, grassy version of peach poppies, but it's still very sweet and playful. Not as warm as peach poppies, but beautiful regardless. I'd love to pair this with any floral fragrance. . . . Have you ever ordered from Western Rose? What's your favorite scent? . #fragrance #westernandrose #indieskincare #bodyoil #peach #smellthis #moisturizer #thursday

  • Happy #maskmonday. I’m giving a product that I normally wouldn’t give the time a day a shot- peel off masks. Like exfoliating gels, I’ve deemed them useless, but it doesn’t stop my readers from seeing these products in the store and asking for them ALOT. So, a mini review of @freemanbeauty Cosmic Holographic Peel-Off Mask in Hydrating Amethyst. . . It dispenses like a thick, purple gel with holographic, pearlescent shimmer. It does NOT apply evenly. Because it is a peel off gel it is not buildable either. Takes about 10 minutes to dry if applied thinly. Thicker patches can take up to 30 minutes. It peels with ease and does not rip the skin. My skin felt soft and hydrated. Based on the ingredients, it’s quite clear that this product’s mission is to hydrate and moisturize (aloe, glycerin, castor oil). Beware if your skin hates dyes. . . Freeman Hydrating Amethyst retails $3.99. Pick it up at @walmart or @walgreeens. . . Tell me what you think. Would you try this mask? Got questions? Talk to me. . . #freemanmask #freemanbeauty #skincare #skincareroutine #skincareproducts #holographic #explore #peeloffmask #mondayvibes
  • So @beautytapofficial did a thing and created a premium skincare line that's all things #jbeauty + #kbeauty called @aznlabs. I got the privelege to try the brand's first product-The Afterglow Ampoule. Here's a short and sweet overview of the serum, just in time for pre-orders today. ---------- The Afterglow Ampoule was created with three things in mind- ingredients, science and effectiveness. This ampoule is for anyone suffering from dryness, dark spots, dullness and lack of elasticity. This serum contains astaxanthin (powerful antioxidant), ubiquinone (minimize fine lines), ferulic acid (fights free radicals), camellia japonica flower extract (destroys pollutant-induced stress), arbutin (natural alternative to hydroquinone, fades #darkspots) and rhizophora mangle callus culture extract (boosts collagen production). ---------- Overall I like this serum. It is not greasy, absorbs fast, has a very light fragrance that lingers for a few seconds, and has a very nice texture. Check their website for more details and ask questions below! ---------- #presssample #AZNLabs #glowwhereveryougo #serums #ampoule #skincare #skincareroutine #skincaretips #skincaresmart #skincareblogger #afterglow #review #products #collagen #instaskincare #instaskin #instareview #instaface #newskincare
