Beauty Bits

I have loved skincare for so long and enjoy testing out new products and launches. But even to me it can feel overwhelming because the beauty industry is beyond saturated. There are so many brands to choose from and millions of serums, moisturizers, eye creams, cleansers, etc. that all seem to do similar things.

I’ve been sharing my monthly favorites nearly every month for the past 10+ years but only on video (IG, Tiktok, YouTube). I’ve never shared my favorites in a blog post but thought I would begin doing so in case you ever miss my monthly favorites video. These are all my favorite, most worn and most enjoyed products from the month.

My skin has really shifted from combination and slightly oily in my 30’s to dry and dull in my mid 40’s. I’ve had to rethink my skincare routine and find products that help keep my skin well nourished and also give me a bit of a healthy hydrated glow.

I test a ton of beauty products on a daily basis but many of them never make it into my regular beauty rotation. But there are a handful that stand out each month so I thought it was time to do another post on New-to-Me Beauty Products I’m Loving.

One of my favorite aspects of doing content creation/blogging for a living is getting to try brands that may not have been on my radar if I wasn’t doing this job. And then getting to share my experience with other beauty lovers and introduce them to various brands is the best thing ever.

I love to experiment with new beauty and skincare brands to discover new favorites and innovative formulations. There are so many amazing skincare brands that don’t have the funds or exposure like larger brands do but produce formulas that are some of the best I’ve ever tried.

I love all lip products from lipsticks, to lip oils, glosses and lacquers. But the one lip product that I’ve never used consistently are lip liners. It felt like an unnecessary extra step most of the time……until I reached my mid-40’s

I like to claim that I am the laziest high maintenance person out there. I want to try and test all the devices and tools with the least amount of effort required. LOL If something is too complicated to set up, to use or to stick with, chances are it won’t be for me.

I’m a long-time lover of all things Tatcha. In fact, I have been reviewing their products on my blog for nearly 10 years. Some things haven’t worked for me. But for the most part I love nearly everything they come out with.

I’ve always enjoyed skincare and made it a priority in my daily routine. This has become more important than ever now that I’m entering my late 40’s and currently in perimenopause.
