Favorite Products This Spring

Spring has sprung and so my seasonal beauty regimen update has begun! Below are my favorites of the moment.
 
 

 
 
 
1. Cover FX Contour Kit - Still trying to figure out how to Contour like a Kardashian but I think this palette will get me pretty close. I got the light/medium for pink undertones. The brush that is recommended for it is awesome, as well.

2. Arcona Cranberry Toner Cleansing Pads - These are my, new can't live without, post-cleansing essentials. After I wash my face at night, I use these to make sure ever spec of makeup is off. They have a clean/tingly feeling and I love to use them mid day when I'm feeling oily or in need of a refresh. Arcona is an all-natural company too, which is great.

3. Mason Pearson Mixed Bristle Brush - After my brother stole my first one, it was time to get another.
 
4. Bare Minerals Ready Eyeshadow 4.0 - I love Bare Minerals and their shadow are always beautifully pigmented. Loving this one for spring.

5. Bumble and Bumble Sunday Shampoo - This shampoo is recommended for a once a week deep-clean and it works wonders. Your hair feels completely clean and I love how well it lathers. It gets out all of the residue and is a detox for your hair.

6. Bare Minerals Well Rested Cooling CC Eye Primer - Goes on cool to the touch and is exactly what you need in the morning on your under eyes. Decent coverage, as well.
 
7. Nars Lip Gloss in Turkish Delight - I love the texture of Nars lip glosses because they don't dry out your lips and they don't feel too sticky. This color is light and bright and my favorite for spring.

8 and 9. Bare Minerals bareSkin® Pure Brightening Serum Foundation Broad Spectrum SPF 20 - This is the first foundation I've found that I actually like. I can't stress enough how important it is to find the right shade because my first go around was terrible. I got a shade that was far too light and it made me look like a clown. I love that it gives you full coverage but you know you're not murdering your skin because it's Bare Minerals. The brush is a must.

10. Smashbox LA Lights Blendable Lip and Cheek Color in Silver Lake Sunset - Haven't tried this yet but love the color and the idea.
 
11. Oribe Gold Lust Transformative Hair Mask - Take your hair from drab to fab and deeply nourish it - adds a boost in strength and shine.

12 and 13. Arcona Gentle Solution PM Repair - Twice a week a wash my face and the slather this gel on and go to bed. This solution repairs sun damage and resurfaces dry and sensitive skin. You can feel the tingling when it goes on and it's a deep exfoliator - my skin literally glows the next day after I scrub it off with the Arcona Golden Grain Gommage.

14. Bare Minerals Complexion Rescue Tinted Hydrating Cream Gel - This light hydrating gel has become my daily go-to. It gives you a slight glow and keeps you covered with SPF.

Natural Skin Care

Don't new skin care products make you so excited?? This year I'm dedicated to using more organic and natural products so that I can feel good about everything I'm putting on my skin. If I'm going to worry about what chemicals I put in my body, (2014 I am dedicated to being more health conscious!), I should also pay attention to what chemicals I put on my sensitive skin. A couple of my favorite natural brands include Tammy Fender, Tracie Martyn and Tata Harper. Do you use natural/organic products? Below are some that I've either personally tried and loved or have heard great things about. 

Farmaesthetics 
Favorite Product: Facial to Go Kit


Dr. Haushka
Favorite Product:  Soothing Mask MI



Tammy Fender* (My favorite natural brand)
Favorite Product: Tie between Intensive Repair Balm (some people think it's better than La Mer) and the Sensitive Skin Travel Kit (so you can try out six products)



Tracie Martyn
Favorite Product: Enzyme Exfoliant (gentle yet effective - love love this exfoliant)



Tata Harper 
Favorite Product: Rejuvenating Serum (makes skin so soft)


Korres
Favorite Product: Tie between Greek Yoghurt Advanced Nourishing Sleeping Facial and the Quince Lip Butter (one of my all time faves)


Caudalie
Favorite Product: Premier Cru Eye Cream (makes you look like you've had 12 hours of sleep)
