Latest finds in beauty and haircare
I'm not too proud to admit it, but, when it was time for us to move, I have discovered that I am a product junkie- I love to stock up on anything, from pantry essentials to personal, beauty, and hair care products. While I have tried to stop myself from buying shampoo and conditioner after "overindulging" (spoiler alert - I have had some slip-ups), I moved on to other things.
With the ever-expanding brands and goods, it's hard to resist trying them all. With that said, I have recently bought and tried new (mostly to me) makeup, hair, and skincare products. I wanted to share them with you since I'm sure you're also looking to discover new things, just like I am.

I have recently found Bliss makeup and bought almost all the colors of their lipsticks (which I love by the way) and other makeup products which I have yet to try.
These eyeshadows are something I look forward to wearing as the colors are really beautiful; I have bought the apricot, rose, and taupe.
Speaking of lips, I have found this Yes to miracle brightening & conditioning argan lip oil; I rarely use lip balms these days, because I find that they dry or even cause my lips to peel rather than keep them moisturized, and trust me, I have tried many different ones. This lip oil reminds me of the old super-popular lip gloss, but with more benefits. It can be applied on bare lips or over lipstick and I am sold.
I've also been wanting to try and finally got the Bareminerals Bareskin Liquid Foundation & Pure Brightening Serum and the Bareskin Sheer Sun Liquid Bronzer and I love them both. At first, they both seem very watery, but once shaken well, go surprisingly well on the skin and look very natural. I can't wait to wear the liquid bronzer in the summer for that sun-kissed glow.
I love wearing perfume, however, I am very picky when it comes to it as I don't like artificial smells. I have loved this perfume for years for its magnolia (DUH!) and citrus notes, but I recently tried this one and I am in love with the floral scent.
Gardenias, magnolias, and jasmine are some of my favorite flowers and fragrances. However, I found that this particular perfume doesn't last long and I have to re-apply throughout the day. I will still purchase again, because of how much I love its smell.
I have been trying many products for my hair from shampoo and conditioner to hair masks and styling. I listed the shampoos and conditioners I love and use here.
I've been wanting to find a more "clean" hair spray so I got this one. I'm still not sure if I love it- while it tames flyaways and has a pretty strong but pleasant jasmine smell, it gives a bit of a "wet" look for my taste, so the verdict is still out about purchasing it again.
For my latest finds in hair masks, I found this Sweet Escape collection at Walmart and have bought the Rio (which smells amazing and leaves my hair healthy and hydrated), and the Capri (which I have yet to try but I'm sure is just as great).
Another hair mask I really liked is this Love Beauty & Planet Murumuru Butter & Rose Blooming Strength And Shine 2 Minute Magic Masque as it left my hair feeling and looking healthy, without making it greasy.
Have you tried any of these or other products that wowed you? Let me know in the comments.
Until next time.
XOXO,
