I really should update you with the new stuff I like atm.
I see a lot of new products but only use a few. The less I use, the better if not one thing cancels out the other.
Here’s the new stuff I’ve been using because they actually seem to work!
1. Diptyque candle in Frankincense
Got this relaxing/calming scent at the brand’s sample sale last month. It’s shifted to being my favorite.
2. MAC Candy Yum Yum
Holy hot pink. The strongest pink I wear. Good with a minimal face.
3. Bare Minerals Flawless Definition mascara.
Long lashes and no clumps.
4. Clarisonic Brush Cleanser
Click the link to read the reviews. I like buffer/exfoliater type products and this really cleans the skin better than hands (good for me with an oily T-zone). I use it daily.
5. Instyler rotating iron
A hairdresser in St.Lucia used this on me and I was sold. My hair is fine textured but it came out straight and full – no flat head!
6. MAC Sheertone blush in Peaches
Re-discovered it again. Gives a pretty apricot-like look.
7. Clarisonic Opal
At a press event their rep used it under one eye and I saw a difference WTF?! Read the reviews in the link. Not cheap but without wanting to sound like an ad, this thing is no fkg joke.
8. Nivea Smooth Indulgence hand cream
Does the job and the smell reminds me of growing up using Nivea.
9. NARS Dragon Girl
Super pigmented and lasts all day. Gave one to a girlfriend (caucasian) and it looks really good on her too.
10. Aveda ‘Warmth’ candle
Plant-like warm scent. Hard to explain but I like it. Fills a room quickly.
