This blog post is all about Beauty Products I am obsessed right now.
I’m very particular about my beauty products. I usually mix high-end stuff with drugstore finds because expensive doesn’t always mean better. Honestly, there have been so many times I’ve splurged on a product, only to end up feeling really let down. It’s all about finding what actually works for you. I talked to you about my favorite nail polish before, now it is the turn to share my favorite beauty products that truly work for me. Here we go…
Beauty Products That Truly Work
Today, I’m excited to share with you 9 beauty products that have been my absolute go-tos for years. I have to give you a little heads-up: the photos reveal that these products have been well-loved and are far from pristine! But that’s exactly what I want to show you—the real deal behind my beauty routine. Each product has earned its spot in my collection, and I can’t wait to share why they’re so special to me. Get ready for an authentic beauty product review that celebrates the journey of these favorites! Enjoy!
Lancome Teint Idole Ultra Wear Foundation
Lancôme’s Teint Idole Ultra 24H Long Wear Matte Foundation is pretty awesome. It has medium coverage and feels super lightweight on my skin. Once it dries, it doesn’t crack, which is great for someone like me with mature skin. I really appreciate that because the last thing you want is for your foundation to make your wrinkles stand out.
This foundation has SPF 25, but honestly, I wouldn’t use it as my main sunscreen for everyday protection. I suggest putting on your moisturizer and sunscreen first, then applying this foundation over it. The shade I use is 320c. Overall, this foundation is awesome and has been a staple in my makeup routine for a couple of years now.
Victoria Beckham Satin Kajal Eyeliner -Shade Cocoa
One of my beauty and fashion muses is definitely Victoria Beckham and when she announced that was going to launch her beauty line I was already sold. Well, one of the beauty products that absolutely got hooked is this black eyeliner.
The formula is very soft and I really appreciate that comes on a pencil design because I can sharpen the edge of the liner and is applied with precision. Another thing that I appreciate is the buffer end that has at the other side of the pencil, it helps to buffer the eyeline and looks less harsh looking subtle and very natural.
Victoria Beckham Lip Definer
I’ve been using the Mac Lip Liner in Whirl for years and loved it, but then I tried Victoria Beckham’s Lip Definer in No 2, and now I’m totally obsessed! The color is amazing, and the formula is super smooth with a nice matte finish. I can’t imagine living without this lip pencil! I like to keep 3 or 4 on hand just to make sure I never run out!
Loving Tan 2 Hr Express Self-Tanner
If you’re on the hunt for the perfect self-tanner, look no further than Loving Tan’s 2 Hr Express in Dark Shade! This is hands down my all-time favorite. Unlike many self-tanners that lean towards an olive green tint, this one has a lovely warm, orange hue that gives a gorgeous glow. The best part? It develops in just 2 hours, so you can achieve that sun-kissed look in no time! Plus, it’s super easy to apply and doesn’t have that awful self-tan smell that you often encounter with other products. Trust me, it’s a game-changer!
Saint Laurent All Hours Hyper Bronzer
This bronzer is a total gem! It gives such a nice sun-kissed vibe. It claims to last 24 hours, but I’m not sure about that. What I can say is that it really stays put for a long time, which is awesome. Plus, it’s fragrance-free, and I definitely appreciate that. The color I use is shade No. 3 Golden Medina, and honestly, it’s super similar to Benefit’s Hoola Matte. I know because I’ve got both! I switch between them, and they both do wonders for my look.
Patrick Ta Major Skin Duo
I recently came across the Patrick Ta Major Skin Crème Foundation and Finishing Powder Duo after a friend recommended it. Since I was already at Sephora, I thought I’d give it a shot, and now I’m totally hooked! The creamy formula goes on flawlessly with the Patrick Ta brush, and I love that it comes with its own setting powder.
It really covers up any skin imperfections and makes everything look nice and even. My shade on this creme foundation is Light Medium 2. Just a heads up, if you’ve got mature skin, be careful not to put too much under the eyes—I found that it tends to crease in that area, so I just apply it lightly there.
Mini Gimme Brow Pencil by Benefit Cosmetics
This Mini Gimme Brow + Volumizing Fiber Eyebrow Pencil by Benefit Cosmetics on Shade 4 is awesome, and I seriously can’t live without it. I use it to draw little strokes in my eyebrows, and it’s super easy to use. It really makes my brows look defined and shaped!
Micellar Water by Bioderm
I use this Micellar Water by Bioderma to take off my makeup at the end of the day. Just like with any micellar water, you gotta rinse your face with warm water afterward to get rid of any leftover product.
