Mini Bad Side Zodiac Eyeshadow … curated on LTK

It is rare for me to go out of my way to get an eyeshadow palette. I’m usually overwhelmed with all the color variations! However, this one drew my eyes immediately. It had just the right number of colors to be interesting without being too much. The depth and vibrancy of Type A caught my eyes, especially as I had been searching for a purple for under my eyes. All the shades are so pretty and vibrant and Melt Cosmetics chose the perfect shades for Earth Signs. Please note they have other Zodiac palettes !

It’s vitamin c day! Skinceuticals c e ferulic will always be a stunning antioxidant powerhouse to combat signs of aging like fine lines, wrinkles, and issues like hyperpigmentation while also evening out skin tone and improving radiance. Have you tried it?

Just a chatty girl loving and hating (a lil’ bit) on her fro. I adore the products used in this video, so get on them!

I finally tried the viral TFIT cover up pro concealer! Only one shade is a close enough match but I think having a complexion product over it helps even things out. The coverage is great and I feel that for those it matches, it would be a great experience. What do you think?

Sharing this once again for the ladies who love floral fragrances and don’t mind being chased by bees.

Since I filmed this video weeks ago, this sunscreen has become a holy grail. It is so enjoyable to use. I don’t feel as though I have anything on my skin. It’s great for reapplication, too. No eye stinging or irritation. I actually prefer this to the tocobo bio watery sun cream, which says a lot!

Shea moisture launched some of the best antiperspirants and deodorants I’ve ever used. I’m so impressed. Even tone leaves me dry and fresh for a whole day. I use the deo behind my knees and it actually it keeps the area sweat free and fresh, which I did not expect from a deo. Get these!

#LTKbeauty

The best pick-me-up!

Have you seen any mask like this? I haven’t! This is the @esteelauder Advanced Night Repair
Concentrated Recovery PowerFoil Mask. It’s a weekly mask that helps reset your skin. I think I was also excited for this because it contains a double dose of the advanced night repair, which is a top 3 serum for me. The sheet mask is foil-backed to create a protective barrier for fast penetration of products deep within the skin’s surface.

Do you see how my skin is glowing?! I absolutely love it!!

Use this:

✨night before your wedding
✨ night before any big event
✨ skin prep for a minimal makeup or no makeup day
✨skin prep prior to a full glam

If you are in search of a gentle but effective exfoliation treatment, look no further. This treatment feels wonderful, makes your skin look great, and combines powerful acids in the form of AHAs and BHAs.

The grapefruit face cleanser and vitamin e face moisturizer took me by surprise! The cleanser is gentle with a very mild uplifting scent. It cleans well and leaves my skin feeling refreshed. I did not experience any dryness, itchiness, or irritation after leaving my bare skin exposed for 10 minutes following the use of this cleanser. That’s a win for me! It’s supposed to support with toning the skin and improving the appearance of pores. I can’t say I noticed these but I enjoy using the cleanser.

The moisturizer infuses my skin with moisture without any sticky residue left behind. It’s also not greasy, so if your skin tends to get oily, you’ll enjoy this one.

Have you used these or any Malin + Goetz products?

#AD| Save this video to reference if you decide to get the Target HeyDay Active Noise Cancelling Bluetooth Wireless Over Ear Headphones (available via my Target storefront, link in bio).

I’ve been using these headphones for a little over a month now and they’ve grown on me! To be honest, I wanted to return them the very next day after buying 😅 but I’m glad I was patient because they strangely get better with more wear. Things to note:

1. They perform a lot better when fully charged versus when the battery is low. It also seems as though with more use, the sound quality improves (doesn’t sound as far away as they do with initial wear).
2. These would be great for studying at home, in a dorm, in the library, but won’t work well on flights - the noise canceling is on the weaker side.
3. The design is super chic, stylish, and comfortable. It comes in black, white, and lavender.
4. The headphones are adjustable and include a built-in microphone. I have used it for calls and it is ok, I’d say clarity is about a 7/10.
5. It has a hybrid connection, which features a detachable AUX cable. This way, it is compatible with both Bluetooth and a 3.5mm audio jack. I’ve found this handy for the times I study using a library computer. I typically use a wireless connection with my phone. I have had trouble connecting the headphones to my MacBook Pro, though. So that’s annoying. I’d say take your laptop with you and make sure it connects in store before buying.
6. They are portable and fold to fit in a carrying case that comes with it.
7. It has a battery life of up to 25 to 40 hours (ANC on-off).
8. It includes a charging cable that charges the headphones via USB-C type port.

You can shop these headphones on my Target storefront, link in bio 💕 @target @targetstyle

Which do you prefer? Wash off or stay on exfoliation?

For me, it depends. I do like the idea of an exfoliating product sitting on my skin overnight like the Kaine Rosemary AHA Night Serum in my video. But I’m also partial to wash off masks with acids and gentle physical exfoliants. It really depends on my mood.

Also in the video is the Kaine Glow Melting Lip Balm, and if you can believe it, I actually reach for this waaay more than my Summer Fridays lip balm. 10/10 it’s insanely good.

This oil cleanser needs no introduction. It’s excellent. No irritation around my eyes, cleanses deeply and efficiently, targets blackheads and excess sebum, and is just an overall great oil cleanse. This is worth getting for yourself.

#LTKbeauty

These concealers are 10/10:

1. 3-in-one: color corrector, concealer, and illuminator
2. I use these in place of a skin tint some days
3. They feel like skincare! The texture is unbelievable- I’ve never had a concealer with this light, almost watery texture that makes me feel like I’m wearing nothing on my skin. I guess that makes sense since it’s a serum concealer.
4. It works like a charm. I’ve noticed that I have peachy undertones, so I first conceal with a mild orangey peach (sunset) and then top off with daybreak. If I want my eye area to be brighter and less of a match to my skin tone, I would use glowy rays.

I would encourage you to try this out at least once. It is likely different from what you’re used to but you may fall in love with it like I have.

The LI Effector serum has been a pleasure to use and is so soothing, too!

#LTKbeauty

This is a simple and more affordable routine, where all items but one fall between $15-25. To be clear, you can make a solid routine with items under $10, particularly if you are much younger (teenager) or don’t have skin concerns you are targeting. I find that Korean skincare is a great place to find more affordable and staple skincare products and sunscreen, so definitely have them on your radar!

Get into this gorgeous 2-in-1 cleanser from Maxclinic! Now you can oil and foam cleanse in one step and save a little time. I like using this to remove stubborn makeup, especially on lazy nights!

#LTKbeauty

Two incredible oil cleansers!

BOJ: Quick, efficient, worth the hype!

Maxclinic: Great for speeding up your cleanse. Both the oil and foam cleanse are in a single product!

I love both, pick your poison 😉

Have you tried Kaine ?

#LTKbeauty

You simply cannot understand my obsession with this cleanser. SUPERIOR.

🫧 Great for all skin types
🫧Mild earthy and refreshing scent
🫧Cleans well, leaving the skin supple. No tightness anywhere!

I use this am and pm even though I hate cleansing in the morning. I just look forward to it! It’s sooo good. Get it!

#LTKbeauty

Hi beauties, I don’t remember ever using a cleanser as much as I use this one. Even for someone like me who hates cleansing in the morning, I keep running to this one. It appeals to all the important sensations: the gel feels incredible, the scent is mildly green and earthy, and it “contains T-Percent™ Calming Complex, which is Torriden's patented ingredient, along with Asiatic Acid, Madecasoside, Asiaticoside, and Madecasic Acid.” It’s so soothing!

I can’t get enough of it. Do let me know if you give it a shot.

#LTKbeauty

First of all, let’s stop this ridiculous narrative that people wear makeup just to receive external validation.

Secondly, makeup is an art. And I agree with the school of thought that says art should be seen. Therefore, if one’s makeup is complimented and receives attention, so what? Makeup artists spend a considerable amount of time learning and sharpening their skills and I believe their work should be seen and should get attention.

At the same time, let’s remember that people use makeup for different reasons and at the heart of it is an enjoyment of creating something beautiful or something that makes one feel more confident and in tune with themselves. There are days when I put on something lowkey: concealer, blush, and lipgloss just to stay home. I feel more put together and ready to tackle the day and I may end up seeing no one that day. I’m fed up of hearing this negativity attached to people who use and enjoy makeup.

To folks who make comments like this: please lighten up. Take in color. Take in design. Embrace something different or at least consider it. It’s ok to compliment someone’s makeup; it probably took time and they’d probably smile and say thank you.

*Please note that I used two Caliray concealers: daybreak and sunset!

Naturium makes what I consider to be some of the best body products ever. The glowgetter multi-oil body wash made such a noticeable difference for me in skin hydration and I found myself constantly reaching for it. Having an exfoliant in your body routine is important and this salicylic acid body wash from Naturium is a win. It is not drying at all and really the best way to tackle dead skin cells and (surprise!) prevent the cycle of dryness! If you only want to use one body wash, the glowgetter one is it. It’s not fragrances, so you’re going to have to take care of smelling good yourself 😁.

#LTKbeauty #LTKVideo

Dry skin be gone! I adore this launch from Naturium. It’s an advanced skin hydrator with an oil-serum formula made up of 5% squalane, 2% urea, and a ceramide complex. You can use this for barrier support if you have dry skin or as an add on to your routine to provide a radiant complexion. This is my first face care product that includes urea and I’m so glad I finally get to try it in skincare. It’s a moisturizing humectant that supports skin hydration, skin barrier function, and is also soothing to dry and irritated skin. I have 4 serums in current rotation, two that include acids and two for moisture and barrier support. This one is part of my moisture duo and I’m beyond pleased to have it there! #barrierbounce #advancedskinhydrator #naturium

LOL! I always say if it’s on your head, it’s yours 😜 I do want to share the deets on this wig. It’s on Amazon, very easy to wear, super comfy, super soft, and not itchy at all and it has been used for at least two years. I can’t recommend it enough. It this curly style with a curly bang is not your thing, check out the other offerings they have. Well worth the spend!

#LTKstyletip #LTKbeauty

If you’ve been stuck between picking up the very popular Kahi wrinkle bounce balm or this glow balm from Hero Cosmetics, go with the Hero product. It is more moisturizing and does not make your lips dry if used over the lips, unlike the Kahi balm. I find its effect also lasts longer. I like both but I would pick Hero if I had a choice between the two.
