My Spring Beauty Favorites

by Jennifer | Apr 06, 2017

I was recently gifted some amazing products from Octoly and Influenster. I picked out some of my favorites that I will be using this spring. Even though these were given to me complimentary I always give my honest review. Happy Reading!

My first review is two of my favorite things packed into one box  Cosmetics and Hello Kitty!  The Hello Kitty x ColourPop Hello Beauty Collection is as good as it looks  It includes 3 eye shadows, 2 lip glosses and 2 cheek colors  My favorite item from this collection is the red lip gloss, it is the perfect shade of red and matches Hello Kitty’s red bow perfectly.  The shadows in this collection wear like a dream  They are highly pigmented and go on so easy!  I will be wearing the  “fun with friends” pink blush this spring since it is so bright and cheery.  Shop this cute kit here.

Carins Hydra-Essentiel has 5 star reviews every where I checked and I now know why. This velvety face cream will hydrate even the driest skin. The area around my nose tends to get very dry and sometimes flakey but after using this cream for a few days my skin woes were gone.  My skin was left hydrated and radiant! It contains no parabens, which is a big plus to me.   Check out this mini miracle worker here.

Lancôme sent me a whole face look which included a foundation, concealer, highlighter and lipgloss. Having fair skin it is sometimes hard to find a foundation that has good coverage and at the same time does not wash out my skin. Lancome’s Teint Idole Ultra Wear in 100 ivory was a perfect match for me. I love how easy it when on and covered. The coverage lasted all day without creasing.  After applying the foundation I put on the Teint Idole Ultra Wear Camouflage, I used it as a under eye concealer. The color I applied was 090 Ivory/010 Beige. As a Mom sometimes I don’t get much sleep and have dark circles. This product covered those dark circles and I was very happy it didn’t crease and stayed in place. .The Click and Glow Illumuniating Skin Highlighter comes in a pen form. It is a great way to highlight and make cheekbones and brow bone pop!

I applied my new Lancôme foundation with this amazing brush from Cailyn Cosmetics’ Wow Brushes. It applied the product evenly and left my face looking air brushed. This Allure Beauty Award winner should be added to any beauty lover’s makeup bag. The velvet like bristles will perfect your makeup look.  The handle was super easy to hold. I love that it comes with a cap to cover the bristles to keep them protected and clean. Shop Cailyn Cosmetics’ amazing products here.
