Beauty Beat: My Faves for a Fresh Glow

 

This weekend I've gone home, and lately I've been doing this thing where I only pack the necessities and travel with one little weekender duffle bag. As a result, I've stopped going around with my full makeup bag, and tons of products I don't use- just the stuff I love. Anyway, this season, we've been seeing an array of fresh glowy right out of a hot shower looks walking the runways for spring. I totally love this look, not a stitch of real makeup, just highlighter and healthy clear skin so I'm doing it now, forget waiting until spring. Anyway here are some products I've been using 24/7 to achieve the glowy look.

Marc Jacobs Honey Roll-on

 

Alright, let's start off with my favorite scent. I could write a post all about this perfume alone, it's that good. I have been a faithful Marc Jacobs perfume addict, from Lola up to Dot, so of course I bought Honey, and trust me Honey does not disappoint. If I had to use one word to describe how it smells, I would say "Delicious"

elf cosmetics Eye Refreshner

 

This eye refresher is amazing, it's got cucumber and all that other nice stuff. I don't normally suffer from puffy eyes unless I haven't slept a wink, but when I get them, I just rub this on, and immediately I stop looking like a swamp monster and more like a human.

elf cosmetics Lengthening and Defining Mascara

 

This mascara is like nude lipstick, your eyelashes but better. It's really subtle and doesn't clump on my lashes and just gives them the right amount of definition.

elf cosmetics Stipple Brush

 

IT'S SO FLUFFY I'M GONNA DIE. Props if you got that reference. Anyway, it's stupid soft and what I use for powder highlighters and blush.

NYX Tango with Bronzing Powder

 

This was on sale last year at Urban Outfitters and I grabbed one and it's not really an amazing bronzer for contouring, especially for darker skin tones, but its got this really nice shimmer that doesn't look like you swam in a pool of glitter.

NIVEA Creme

 

I SWEAR BY THIS CREAM I AM USING CAPS BECAUSE OF HOW EMOTIONAL IT MAKES ME. But seriously, it's fantasmic for leather dry skin because it's oil not water based Leaves you soft as a baby's bottom.

Bio-Oil

 

This is a secret I learned from my Mommy and honestly she knows everything. This oil is the bomb for any damaged dermal area- scalp, hair, skin, joints, where ever. Put it on your cat. Put it on your hat. Put it anywhere. I put it on my scalp, elbows, and face after I've used moisturizer/cream/lotion and it's done me such good.

Benefit's Watts Up Highlighter

 

What is a fresh glowy skin look without the beauty guru highlighter? Everyone loves it for a reason- because it's awesome. Glides on smoothly and blends really well.
