Spring is here! Finally, because winter was brutal out here in Atlanta. Two ice storms and being stuck in my apartment for a week both times gave me the worst case of cabin fever ever!
With that type of cold weather, my skin has really taken a beating- it looks like I've been bathing my skin in ash, yikes!
Warmer weather is on the horizon now and I like experimenting with new beauty products each season.
I recently came across products that I'm really crushing on right now and wanted to share them with you all.
Here are my current beauty product crushes:
EOS Lip Balm- I found out about these lip balms from reading several blogger's posts raving about them. I just had to go pick up myself one because Winter had my lips looking like crust, lol (just kidding)! After using EOS, I noticed a complete difference in my lips- my lips are softer and moisturized. My lips were moisturized all day without reapplying, seriously! This lip balm works great before applying your lip stick.
Ben Nye Makeup Mojave Visage Poudre-Luxury Powder - I love following makeup artist on Instagram. I've noticed a lot of them use Ben Nye powder for highlighting. I'm starting to really get into contouring and highlighting my face and since this powder had amazing reviews and I also had a Amazon gift card to spend, I purchased it. The powder works very well for my skin tone and blends well. It helps highlight the areas I want on my face like my under eyes.
Bath and Body Works (Capri Seaside Citrus)- It has been a long time since I've shopped at Bath and Body Works, but since I received a free gift card from one of the survey panels I'm with, I went to the store to find some new lotion. I like wearing sweet fruity scents during the Spring and Summer season and that's why I chose Capri Seaside Citrus. The scent last all day and provides a all-day moisture. The scent gives off a laying on the beach soaking up some sun effect.
MAC Studio Fix SPF Liquid Foundation- When it comes to foundations, I need one that is full coverage, matte finish, doesn't feel or look like I have on a mask, doesn't make me look oily by the end of the day, and helps protect my skin from the sun. I was using MAC's MatchMaster and unfortunately the coverage wasn't enough and I was oily at the end of the day. I was introduced recently to MAC Studio Fix liquid foundation and my skin looks flawless wearing it! I have dark spots and this foundation covers it up without a concealer. It's very lightweight on my face and I can hardly notice I'm wearing any makeup. I also like that it has a yellow undertone instead of red. Only thing I don't like is the price- it's a bit expensive for a small bottle.
Do you currently have a crush on a certain beauty product(s)?

Love EOS been using it for a few years, I used Studio fix before but didn't like the way it looked on pictures it gave me an ashy appearance but yes the coverage is amazing, I love Ben Nye powders I mix topaz and banana for highlighting. I'm crushing on MAC's bronzing powder in golden bronze.
ReplyDeleteCookie...girl why haven't I've been using EOS before and just now discovering it? I'm so late in the game, SMH!
DeleteI guess with MAC Studio Fix since I have a yellow undertone it works well with me but I notice that mixing it with MAC MatchMaster works wonders and helps to not have a ashy look.
I need to try out those other Ben Nye colors too.
I currently have a bronzing powder from IMAN brand and it's ok, I'll need to check out MAC's.
I am so not a makeup kinda girl LOL! But, I think I will look for the EOS lip balm! Our humidity hovers under 10% during the summer and my lips actually do get crusty LOL :-) Thanks for the heads up!
ReplyDeleteYou'll love it Kathe!
DeleteI would love to try that Capri Seaside Citrus! I love fresh fruity smells and do I need the moisturizer!! And lip balm has to always be in my pocket, especially in the winter!
ReplyDeleteI use very little make-up these days but I am definitely a Bath and Body girl... this one sounds yummy. Think I am going to have to try it. My favorite of theirs is cucumber watermelon.... I love it for summer....
ReplyDeleteCucumber Watermelon sounds like it would smell so good!
DeleteI love Pee Wee!
ReplyDeleteI use EOS Lip Balm, too. They have 4 packs at BJ's for $10 and I go through them like wildfire :)
$10 is such a great price! I wonder if they sale the pack in Costco?
DeleteI love the EOS lip balms. I have a little container in my room that has like all of the flavors. My husband thinks i'm nuts but my lips are always dry I need lip balm all the time.
ReplyDeleteEOS lip balms are the "it" thing for the kids in our school. it does work well
ReplyDeleteHi, Louida! Well, you already know how I feel about EOS -- I actually keep mine in my wallet I love it so much! My other staples are: Bare Minerals Bronzer (I use this in lieu of foundation), my stubby Chanel powder brush (which I've had for years), my ELF Studio Eyebrow Definer Kit, and Indian ghee butter, which I use very sparingly as a moisturizer on the driest areas of my face.
ReplyDeleteThank you for sharing your current faves-- I learned about new products today! :-)
You are one of the blogger's that influence me to buy EOS lip balm and thank you so much!
DeleteI always wanted to try Bare Minerals. I went into a Bare Minerals store awhile back but they were so busy I walked out. I'll try them again soon.
ELF is starting to become my new fave. Prices are cheap but good quality makeup products.
EOS lip balm is my favourite! I also love their hand lotion
ReplyDeleteI've been wanting to try the EOS Lip Balm. I think you've sold me. I have to get some now!
ReplyDeleteI'm pretty much obsessed with Bath and Body Works peppermint scent year round, but I do like the sound of what you mentioned here. I'm all about citrus too, so I'll try that one.
ReplyDeleteI've been hearing a lot of great things about the EOS lip balm, too. I may have to try it next time I'm at the store.
ReplyDeleteI love hearing about products that work for others, thanks for sharing this fun list! I've also been hearing so many great things about EOS Lip Balm! I need to get my hands on some!
ReplyDeleteI love the EOS lip balms! I think I have about 4 of them now. Right now I'm loving my BB cream!
ReplyDeleteOh, great round up! I'm going to have to head to B&BW, that scent sounds amazing!
ReplyDeleteI haven't tried any of those. But I love the sent of citrus, so I'd check out the body wash.
ReplyDeleteNice round up! I love Bath and Body Works!
ReplyDeleteThey all sound like awesome products! I am going to look for the Ben Nye powder! I want to start experimenting with highlighting and contouring. Thanks for sharing these items!
ReplyDeleteI love the EOS lipbalms! I stocked up at Target after Christmas in their clearance stocking stuffer section :-)
ReplyDeleteEos is great. I always a few in my purse!
ReplyDeleteSo many of my friends swear by EOS, but I haven't tried it yet. I suppose it's time I try it and see what all of the hype is about! I'm with you on citrus scents in the spring and summer- I'll have to check out Bath and Body Works!
ReplyDeleteI've begun my love with Sephora, so I'll be looking for the EOS balm on my next visit. I've seen so much about it lately.
ReplyDeleteSephora is a great store and also their brand makeup products are great too!
DeleteI'm so bad, I hardly ever wear makeup. If I'm trying a little bit, I like good old Maybelline mascara. It gets the job done:)
ReplyDeleteEOS lip balm is one of my FAVORITES. My girl's love it too, so were always buying them.
ReplyDeleteI see that EOS Lip Balm everywhere these days! I'm so bad when it comes to lip balm, I have a million of them in the bottom of my purse, I use them once drop them in and forget them - and wind up buying another!
ReplyDeleteLOL! You're like me Debra!
DeleteI havent tried any of these however I would love to have the lip balm. I am a lip balm freak!
ReplyDeletei like the EOS Lip balms too. they go on so smooth
ReplyDeleteWinter beat me up, too! I am a chapstick abandoner, I always lose them in the car. I'll look for this lip balm and hopefully won't lose it!
ReplyDeleteIt'll kind of be hard to lose because of its round shape.
DeleteI *love* EOS and anything from Bath & Body Works. I'd be lost without either one of them.
ReplyDeleteThe EOS lip balms are the bomb! Love them! And anything MAC- ohhhh I love my MAC! April at Two Chic's Blog
ReplyDeleteOh yes! I love my EOS lip balm-- I think I have 2 in purse, 3 in my bathroom and a zillion in my car! Love!
ReplyDeleteI'm a bath and skin care person so I'll crush on anything from Bath and Body Works. Gotta check out some of these other products.
ReplyDeleteI heart Bath and Body Works sugar scrubs and body butters!
ReplyDeleteI have tried their body butters before but not their sugar scrubs, I'll need to take a trip there and get some.
DeleteI'm always crushing on all things MAC. The rest look pretty amazing as well <3
ReplyDeleteI love EOS lip balm. My girls and I use all of the time. You can get 5 of them for $10 at Costco.
ReplyDeleteOn another note, I invited you to join our Georgia Social Media Moms group on Facebook. We have over 330 members and would love for you to be a part of it.
I would love to join your Social Media Moms group! I found the fan page but couldn't find the group. I will be contacting you shortly Stacie.
DeleteI have not tried any of these products, but I do like Bath and Body Works.
ReplyDeleteI think I'd really like EOS if I hadn't already tried Burt's Bees. I keep my EOS in my desk, but my BB's everywhere else.
ReplyDeleteI've never tried Burt Bee's but always meaning too.
DeleteI use BB for everything. My girl loves her eos though!
ReplyDeleteI keep hearing about the Ben Nye! I may have to try it! Thanks for stopping by the link up party!
