Favorite Skin and Beauty Buys for 2016

Since 2016 is quickly coming to an end I wanted to take a few minutes to document some of my favorite skincare and beauty buys. I really don’t like having an overly complicated routine and when I finally find something I love I tend to stick with it. I thought I would share some of these items with you guys. 🙂

R+CO Jackpot Styling Creme

I have tried so many hair products that promised beachy waves and I was always disappointed. Either they did nothing or left my hair crunchy and hard. Jackpot is AMAZING! After I wash my hair I just leave it wet and run about a quarter-sized amount of the creme through my hair. Then I usually just let it air dry or I will give it a quick 30 seconds blow out while I scrunch it. That’s it, beachy waves for days! 

Laurel Whole Plant Organics Anti-Inflammatory Serum

I have struggled for years to find a moisturizer that would work for my sensitive skin dry skin. I have been using this serum for the last several months and I love it. It provides the perfect amount of moisture and it smells fantastic. I love that it has anti-inflammatory properties, it’s very healing and also offers sun protection. It’s a little pricey but I love it so much that I’m okay with spending a little more! You can find it here.

Pacifica Perfume Roll-On

This past year I have been working on switching alot of the products I use on my skin everyday to more natural and organic options. I’ve never been fond of strong smelling perfumes but I would still use the more subtle ones. After taking a closer look I decided I wanted to look for a healthier option. I love Pacifica’s roll on perfumes they are 100% Vegan and Cruelty-free. These are totally affordable at $12.00 apiece. I use the Hawaiian Ruby Guava scent, which is a sexy and sultry tropical blend that combines sweet, berry-like notes of Guava with a bright, citrusy top note of Pomelo and a warm and subtle Coconut base.

W3LL People Mascara

I have been using their Expressionist Mascara in black for about a year now. W3ll People came on my radar as I was switching up my makeup to healthier more natural options. I love the way it looks on my lashes, it stays put and it doesn’t bother my sensitive eyes! Best of all it is 100% cruelty-free, petroleum-free, paraben free, gluten-free, coal tar-free, aluminum-free, fiber-free, and clump-free! If you want to check it out you can find it here.

Fairy Dust

I usually don’t wear foundation but I do have days where I want to add a little color to my face. I love this product because I can use it as a highlighter and an eye shadow. It has actually replaced my bulky Urban Decay palette and has become my favorite eyeshadow. It looks great for an everyday look or dressed up for a more dramatic night look, and it does not budge until I remove it. The minimalist in me just loves this product. It has the most beautiful soft champagne shimmer. I am very fair skinned and it works great for me. I’ve also used it on my collarbone to add a subtle shimmer and I still want to play around with mixing it will my lip gloss. You can find Fairy Dust on Erinsfaces.com. I’ve reached out to Erin by email and on Instagram and she always answers any questions I have right away. You can tell how much heart she puts into all of her products. I love supporting businesses like that. Also all of her products are Cruelty-free!
