I’m sharing the best beauty products of 2021 to celebrate the end of the year! There were many products I tried this year that were lackluster, but these are the six superstars I tried that I would repurchase in a heartbeat. Here are the best beauty products of 2021:
The Inkey List oat cleansing balm won an Allure Best of Beauty award in 2020 so I couldn’t wait to see what all the hype was about. The Inkey List is well known for its affordable, yet effective formulas. As a double cleansing fanatic, I would say I’m very picky about oil based cleansers so let’s so if this cleansing balm lived up to the hype.
It’s time for the beauty lover’s 2021 gift guide! I love doing a gift guide this time of the year with my favorites for any beauty lover on your Christmas list. I picked some skincare items that work for any skin type as well as my favorite makeup items. I hope this gift guide is helpful to anyone shopping for a picky beauty lover like myself lol!
It’s time for the fall 2021 Sephora sale and I’m sharing my must have beauty picks so you can score them at a better price. Sephora doesn’t have sales very often so it’s always a great time to restock on your favorites and try some new beauty at a bargain while you’re at it. Here’s my picks for the fall 2021 Sephora sale:
I’m thrilled to review the Paula’s Choice cleansing balm today because I’m a big fan of the double cleansing method. Double cleansing is a gentle way to remove makeup and impurities without stripping the skin. The method starts with an oil based cleanser like this one to remove makeup and sunscreen then follows up with a second cleanser, a typical foaming water based cleanser. Let’s get into today’s review to see how the Paula’s Choice cleansing balm performs against makeup and sunscreen!
I had the opportunity to try the Estee Lauder Vitamin C serum and I couldn’t wait to see if this luxury serum was worth the price. Vitamin C serums are amazing for fading hyperpigmentation like acne scars and sun spots. I was excited to test this serum against my acne scars.
The Neogen day light protection sunscreen is one of the best selling sunscreens at Soko Glam so I had to give it a try. This sunscreen is supposed to be friendly for sensitive and acne prone skin because it is silicone free. I am extremely picky about sunscreens because sun damage prevention is important to me. Let’s get into the review to see if this sunscreen lived up to my standards!
The Shani Darden cleansing serum is from celebrity esthetician, Shani Darden, who works on some of Hollywood’s most beautiful faces including Shay Mitchell, Kelly Rowland, and Rosie Huntington-Whiteley. I couldn’t wait to try Shani’s cleanser which claims to be a gentle cleanser safe and gentle for all skin types. Here’s my thoughts on the cleansing serum:
The Dr. Jart cicapair cream caught my eye while I was shopping from a holiday sale on Dr. Jart’s website. I was really curious about this cream after I had such a great experience with the Dr. Jart ceramidin cream a few months ago. I’m extremely picky about moisturizers because I have very dry skin and I live in a desert climate. I couldn’t wait to find out if the cicapair cream would be enough to hydrate my dry skin type!
The Heimish all clean cleansing balm is one of the most popular cleansing balm formulas out there! Cleansing balms are a part of the Korean double cleansing method. The double cleansing method uses an oil cleanser like this one to remove oil based impurities (makeup and sunscreen) then following up with a gentle water based cleanser for water based impurities (dirt and sweat). Let’s get into today’s review of the Heimish cleansing balm!
