SUGAR AND SPICE â—½ TIPS
I love trying new products, so this month, I have compiled a few of my new favorite hair and makeup products that I have loved after I gave them a spin. I also highlighted an old favorite tried and true product because it’s worthy of the props!
Versed Day Dissolve Cleansing Balm , Target $18-- I have facial cleansers galore after years of having a Boxy Charm/Ipsy subscription. Some are very high-end and pricey, but this cleanser I bought from Target is hands down my absolute favorite. My combination rosacea skin loves it! It’s made with Eucalyptus oil, which cleanses and hydrates my skin.
Embryolisse Lait-Crème Concentré, Face Cream & Makeup Primer, Amazon, $17 – I read about this French moisturizer in an online magazine. It is both an excellent moisturizer and primer make-up artists swear by.
I applied a less-than-pea-size dollop to my face in the morning after my SPF moisturizer. A little goes a long way. After about fifteen minutes, I apply my make-up. It keeps my skin hydrated all day, and my makeup stays fresh but not oily or cakey—like magic! This cream has become a staple in my skincare routine.
Suavecita Pomade, Amazon $15 – I have been using this pomade daily for years to tame frizzy hair and give my style a more finished look. It keeps my Bettie Bangs smooth and in place. A tiny bit goes a long way. I swipe on a fingertip from the jar, rub it in my palms, and smooth it onto my hair. It’s not greasy or stiff and has a light pleasant scent.
The beauty of blessings to you!
