When I find fab beauty products, I can never resist telling all my friends. Likewise, when I hear about new products, I have to try them for myself. (Remember this winter skin care post from January?) So today, I’m sharing three of my favorite beauty product finds of late.
L’Oreal EverCrème Nourishing Leave-In Spray
Since my locks went blonde, I’ve been searching for the perfect way to condition. Conditioning in the shower wasn’t enough. Oils tend to leave my locks a bit flat (and my head a bit itchy) and other leave-in creams have just seemed to gunk things up. This “nourishing leave-in spray” from L’Oreal is amazing! It’s sulfate-free so it’s not as harsh on my already-treated hair, and it detangles like nothing else I’ve tried. Bonus: it’s less than $10, and I can buy it at Target!
Essie Quick-E Drying Drops
Manicures are my idea of the perfect weeknight me-time. I blame the “nights of beauty” my mom and I used to have when I was little. But I am always going to bed too quickly and waking up with ruined polish. These quick-e drying drops from Essie have totally changed that. I still recommend waiting about 15 minutes to change the sheets or cook, but that’s better than the hour or two it used to take. Bonus: they leave my nails with extra shine. My only tip is don’t overdo it. If you use more than a couple drops per nail, they can darken your favorite red just a bit.
They’re Real! Mascara
I use eye drops like they’re going out of style so when it comes to mascara, I’ve had a hard time finding anything that will stay put. They’re Real! Mascara from Benefit has changed all that. Not only is the waterproof actually waterproof, they make your lashes look swoon-worthy!
In these winter months in Illinois, I need deep moisturizing on my hands, face…well pretty much everywhere. I use Bio Oil on my face instead of traditional moisturizer. I use it on my hands before bed and wake up with silky smooth mitts. It also works great on scars to reduce their appearance, which is how I began using it. You can buy it at Target, Ulta, Wal-Mart, pretty much everywhere. It’s worth a try.
Commenter Linda likes Bio-Oil as much as I do!!!
After my knee replacement surgery left such a big (and obvious) scar, I began using Bio-Oil on it morning and night. My scar is there, but less obvious than it was…and I expect it to improve. Plus, I can actually shave over my scar while shaving my legs every morning! No bumps on the scar to catch the razor!!! Yay!
And, Hannah…I miss our ‘Days of Beauty’ so think we need to spoil ourselves someday and have another one!!! (((hugs)))
