Current Beauty Raves

 
 
 
I am seriously OBSESSING over these new products I've recently purchased! I'm a sucker for make up and beauty products (like most women), so I wanted to share my reviews on them! First of all, I seriously give all of these products a 10/10! That's how awesome they are! But, my overall favorite is my Resurface Retinol Reform by Shani Darden. This stuff has seriously changed my life! Here's why:
 
Resurface Retinol Reform- Long story short... after my sinus surgery, I had a staph infection in my nose which spread to my face. I have been fighting the staph that spread to my face for about two years now. After many rounds of medicine and topical treatments from my doctor, the staph is finally GONE! Now, I am battling the scars that it has left on my skin. I have tried numerous products and facials to try and get rid of my scaring and nothing gave me the results I was looking for. As discouraged as I was, I came across this product on instagram and thought "what the heck, why not?" So I bit the bullet and purchased this retinol formula. This stuff is a miracle worker! I've only been using it for a week and I'm already seeing incredible results! What it does:
 
Helps reduce wrinkles, pore size and photodamage (dark spots) - Improves skin texture for acne scarred skin - Softens and smoothes rough aging skin - Lightens pigmentation associated with photodamage - Over time, will aid in toning and firming the skin. DO NOT use this product while pregnant or breastfeeding. ( description from www.shanidarden.com) The active ingredients are Retinol, Lactic Acid, Niacinamide, Aloe Vera, and Sodium PCA.
 
So, if you are feeling discouraged about your skin and can't seem to get it under control, I would definitely recommend this product! Visit www.shanidarden.com to get more information about this product and more!
 
Dior Nude Air Serum- when I say this stuff is AMAZINGGGG, I'm not kidding! This serum is like a dreamy cloud on your face. It's a weightless foundation that gives you a natural look instantly without looking caked on. This serum foundation is great for year round, especially the summer months! You can purchase this serum at Sephora or Ulta.


 
Spa Du Lac body lotion - I recently spent the day with my mom at Spa Du Lac L'Auberge Resort in Lake Charles and loved it there. We both had the dirty south salt scrub body wrap! It was great. After, they moisturize your skin with this delicious lotion! I love moisturizing after I finish showering and this particular lotion is my favorite! It enhances your skin's tone, texture and beauty. The nourishing agents reduce moisture loss as well! Not to mention it smells DELISH!
 
Color Science Setting Mist ( clarifying)- I'm in love with this setting mist. I always apply it to my face as step one for my make up routine. This particular "clarifying" mist is formulated for oily, unbalanced or blemished-prone skin. It soothes the appearance of inflammation due to blemishes and gives the skin an antioxidant boost!  I purchased my mist at Nouriche Med Spa!
 
L'Oreal Paris eyeliner-  It's called "The Super Slim" 12 hour eyeliner. This eyeliner is great for achieving the winged look. Its supper smooth and has a skinny to wide tip that makes it easier to apply. It does not smear and stays on forever!
 
Lipsticks- (peachy tone) is Revlon Ultra HD Lipstick in the shade 870 Tulip
                 (pink tone) is Tarte limited edition in Ethereal Pink
 
My Mirror tray is by Nicole Miller! My parents bought it for me as a Christmas present. I LOVE IT!
 
XOXO,
Brittany

Tuli


 
I would first like to thank Tuli for this adorable necklace! I absolutely love the story behind this company! Tuli is a company whose approach is to give the women of Uganda a new opportunity, a steady income, and a bright future. Every purchase made through this wonderful company helps aid those three things. Every piece of jewelry is made by the women in Uganda. How awesome is that?! I love the fact that I can have stylish pieces of jewelry while helping a great cause. By creating jobs, these women are able to have a constant source of income which gives them much hope for a better future. By doing this, these women are able to put aside long-term savings and build a better future for themselves. Your purchase creates long-term jobs and steady incomes to break the cycle of poverty. In Uganda, "tuli" means "we are." This company believes in unity among people and collaborative solutions. When we wear a Tuli product, we are joining this community. We are an agent for change. So bloggers, be a part of the awesome change and purchase your handmade jewelry today!
XOXO
