Inspired by my friend Kat at Corporette, I thought it would be fun to share my best beauty purchases, items I buy again and again. These are skincare, makeup, and hair products I purchase over and over, and dread when I go a day without it. I'd love to know what our your favorite beauty products too. In the comments let me know what products you love so much you "hit pan" or empty and repurchase, and check out the comments on Corporette for some more amazing beauty must-haves!
The Ordinary 100% Organic Cold-Pressed Rose Hip Seed Oil - I bought this after Fran of Franish raved about it and now I too am obsessed. I'm on my third jar. I put it on between my treatment and night cream every evening and it makes my skin so happy, so hydrated, so glowy. I had my 2/3 empty bottle open up in my toiletries bag during a trip and was crushed and tried to make do with random serums I had received as gifts or as samples with beauty purchases. I noticed the difference, my skin wasn't as luminous and I got dry faster during the day. When I went to NYC I went into Ricky's looking for a brush and saw they carried the Ordinary and grabbed a bottle of this oil and slathered it all over that evening. Gamechanger, even without much sleep my skin looked more vibrant, plump, and happy than it did after 10 hours of sleep at home. You can read my initial review of The Ordinary products in this post.
Reusable Cotton Rounds and Wipes - I get mine from Little Green Nest on Etsy. I first bought cloth wipes from this Etsy store (we cloth diapered Emerson). I then saw the cotton rounds and bought them to use with makeup remover and witch hazel. You can read my review of them here. After several years my cotton rounds were ready to hit the compost so I just ordered another set a couple weeks ago and with it some more cloth wipes to use as gentle washcloths for my face. The more you wash them the more absorbent they are, in the long run it's cheaper than buying cotton pads and disposable products, and it's way better for the environment.
Coconut Oil - I swear by this more than any fancy product for a deep conditioning. Karl uses it as a styling product. While you're at it, rub it on your knees and elbows, use it to clean your face, and swish with it for 15 minutes for strong white teeth.
Lancome LAbsolu Rouge Définition Demi-Matte Lipstick in Le Carmin - This is the perfect classic cool toned red. I put it on and I feel like a young Elizabeth Taylor. It feels good, it smells good, it wears well, and I have three tubes in case they ever discontinue it.
L'Oreal Riche Matte Lipcolor in Eva's Red - This is my daily lipstick and has been since around June. Reds often make me feel like I'm wearing a costume, this one feels like I am supposed to wear it. Since I found it I've felt less a need to wear other makeup and often just go with brows, mascara, and lipstick. It's like my Carmex, there's tubes of this lipstick in every bag and all over the house.
While there's plenty of other beauty products I love, these are the ones that have stood the test of time and continue to impress. And now it's your turn, share in the comments your favorite products and best beauty purchases!Shop the Post:
