Top Five: Products With SPF

Skincare is so important to me, and now more than ever (since my first dermatologist visit) is SPF essential for me. I know that most people understand the dangers of tanning and not using SPF, but I am still surprised at how many people brush it off and don't actually use it! I have tried more products with SPF within the past year, and I definitely have my favorites. So, of course I thought I would share them!

1/ Aveeno Ultra-Calming Moisturizer (SPF 15) - I really like this product because it is lightweight but it also helps to calm my redness, moisturizes, and gives some sun protection. Great for days when I don't want to wear makeup, but need sunscreen on my face.

2/ Jergens BB Protect (SPF 15) - This product is specifically for light skin tones but they also have one for medium-deep skin tones as well. This product is supposed to hydrate, provide SPF coverage, and enhance your skin's appearance. This product is mostly used on my legs, feet, arms, and chest on days when I am running errands. I love the way it makes my legs look even without self tanner! Of course I don't use this in place of normal higher SPF sunscreen, just on days I won't be in the sun for long.

3/ COOLA Mineral Daydream Primer (SPF 30) - I recently purchased this product and have fallen in love with it! It not only provides SPF but it hydrates, and reduces the appearance of fine lines and redness which is important for me. It makes your skin look dewy but not greasy at all. I also love COOLA because their products are cruelty free, and free from parabens and sulfates.

4/ It Cosmetics CC Cream (SPF 50+) - This is by far the most benefits and SPF coverage I have ever found in a CC or BB cream. This product is so hydrating and brightening. I bought it based on reviews on YouTube and I am so glad I did. My face is something that I have to make sure sunscreen is on at all times, because I do not want things burned or shaved off as a result of the sun. This would be my number one product if they had more shades available. I purchased 'light' but I feel that I probably need 'fair' to make it more my color, but that would get pretty expensive.

5/ Blistex Soft and Lush Chapstick (SPF 15) - You can't forget about your lips! I have went through so many tubes of this because it really is the softest, and it doesn't taste like it has sunscreen in it at all.

So there are my top favorite products right now that provide some coverage from the sun. What are some of your favorite products that I should try out? 

Beauty Box 5 - February

This month Beauty Box 5 celebrated its third birthday, which I think is pretty cool because we share a birthday. I didn't check any spoilers on the months box because I wanted to be surprised, and I'm glad I waited because I loved everything.

GlamGlow | Youth-mud Treatment - This was the product that got me the most excited for this months box. I had a few samples of different GlamGlow products a few months ago and fell in love. I just can't bring myself to spend the big bucks on one product from their company because there are so many I haven't tried yet. I tried this and actually got two uses out of the sample, it made my skin feel so soft and wasn't harsh at all.

Revlon Colorstay Polish | Velvet Rope - I am such a fan of Revlon's nail polish and I was super excited about this color, it's definitely the perfect red. I'll use this a ton this fall.

Avon Big Color Eye Pencil | I received the copper color I do like the color, but I noticed it does crease a bit. I will have to try again with a better eyeshadow primer.

Abosolute Love Lip Balm | Strawberry - This smells like candy, and it made me want to eat it - I didn't of course... Very nice to keep at my desk to use throughout the day.

This was definitely one of my favorite boxes. If you haven't already, you should check out Beauty Box 5 and subscribe. They have different subscription plans that will save you money.

*Studio Gear Cosmetics Holiday Smokey Eye Palette*

Hi everyone~

Today I have a really fun post because I was asked to review a holiday palette from studio gear cosmetics. The holiday smokey eye palette has been really fun to try out. I love that everything is so compact, and easy to use. In the fall and winter time it's perfect to branch out and try more dramatic eye looks.

 

 

 

 

 

 The colors in the palette are shimmery, which I know a lot of people prefer to use matte eye shadows for more intense eye looks. If you like the more shimmery colors then this would be great for you! The palette also comes with a highlighter and a blush which is a really pretty light pink color. The colors aren't super pigmented, however they do build up very well. I personally love the frost color for the inner corner of my eyes.

This could make a really great holiday gift for a friend or family member as well! I love that on the palette lid it has instructions to create the eye look, this is perfect for beginners.
