It’s that time of year when you reflect on the past year and
this year I was able to try so many different products. It was actually really
difficult to pick my favorites of the year.
I’m sharing the products that I have used repeatedly and
have purchased again throughout the year.
I’m also including a link to purchase the products and a
little summary of what I liked about the products.
There were so many that I had to narrow down the list quite
a bit.
Skin
Simple
Cleansing Facial Wipes - gentle facial wipes remove makeup, dirt,
and oil easily and without irritation, leaving skin feeling clean and
refreshed.
e.l.f
Cosmetics Makeup Remover Cleansing Cloths - Gently and easily cleans skin to remove makeup
and dirt, even waterproof mascara. Infused with Green tea and Aloe Vera extract
to hydrate and moisturize.
Eden's Semilla Jojoba
Oil - versatile – has so many uses! It is fragrance-free and very light weight
and is perfect for skin, hair and nails.
Sandy Seashell body products
- environmentally friendly and cruelty free, lightly scented and the scents
change with the seasons. Products left my skin feeling soft and moisturized.
“Feels
like a Facelift” Anti-Aging Mud Masque – detoxifies the skin,
removes dead skin cells and gets deep into pores. Light whipped formula feels
and dries light on the skin. It is made with Canadian Glacial Mud from British
Columbia.
Hair
Amika
Perk up Dry Shampoo – light-weight spray absorbs excess oil and
dirt, gives hair volume and shine.
TRESemmé
Beauty-Full Volume Hair Care Collection – I have tried other
shampoo and conditioners throughout the year but nothing compares to the
results I have using this collection. My hair felt soft, shiny, had more root
volume and the curls were behaving and not frizzy.
Big
Sexy Hair What a Tease Hairspray – instant volume, easy to shape
and style hair and it will last all day.
L'Oreal
Voluminous Feline Mascara - volume and fullness, shiny smooth
lashes and I love the waterproof formula.
Katy
Kat Matte Lipstick and Katy Kat Eye Mascara – lipstick has a demi-matte
finish provides moisture and a touch of sheen without drying lips out. A lot of
mascaras claim to give length and volume but this one actually does give both! I
like how the brush is twisty and sweeps lashes up and out. No clumps and it
doesn’t flake, smudge, or smear.
e.l.f.
Cosmetics Translucent Mattifying Powder – always a favorite! Silky
lightweight formula diminishes oil and shine for a matte finish. As with all
e.l.f products, it is Cruelty free and vegan.
Household
Organic Aromas Raindrop Essential
Oil Diffuser - powerful yet quiet diffuser. It only took about a minute for my
apartment to smell amazing! Love the soft light rotation of beautiful gradient
rainbow colors. Organic
Aromas even has their own signature blend of Essential oils for you to
use with their diffuser, scents are heavenly yet intoxicating.
I couldn’t leave out the cats!
I came across Amelie’s
Bark Shop Handmade Cat Toys – contains a dash of organic catnip and
the cats will play with this toy for hours!
It has been a great year and here’s hoping next year is even
better!
