Beauty Bits

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.

Jones Road Beauty is a relatively newer beauty brand founded by the one and only makeup artist Bobbi Brown. She is actually no longer affiliated with her namesake brand and launched this new line a few years ago.

I’ve slowly over the past year been experimenting more with Korean beauty specifically skincare because the feedback from those using it is always amazing. From the effectiveness to the unique textures to the affordable price points, Korean skincare is truly on another level.

Lip balms and especially tinted lip balms are incredibly popular right now and as someone who has a huge weakness for lip products (and has always had a big lip balm collection), this makes me so happy. LOL The Summer Fridays Lip Butter Balms are one of the most popular formulas on the market and for good reason.

My skincare routine is my favorite part of the day – both morning and evening. I love the ritual of it, the process and of course the results.
