Fabulous Beauty Finds Under $20

A few budget friendly finds that I’ve been loving recently!

Fabulous Beauty Finds Under $20

The Flower Beauty Ultralight Liquid Blush ($14.50; ulta.com) is a fabulously pigmented blush that comes in satin matte finishes in gorgeous shades. The sponge applicator is great to control product wastage and I like to blend this with fingers or a slight dense blending brush. It blends beautifully and creates the most natural looking flush.

Flower Beauty Gloss Crush Lip Serum ($11; ulta.com) is a sheer, super moisturizing lip gloss/serum that I love to use on its own or over lipstick.I love the big applicator and how amazing the gloss feels on the lips without being tacky or heavy.

Flower Beauty Cream & Chrome Eyeliner Duo ($11; ulta.com) is a dual ended eyeliner with a matte and metallic finish. The colors are pigmented and easy to apply without tugging. They are water resistant and not waterproof but the creaminess makes it easy to use for a quick smokey eye without much effort.

Essence Baby Got Blush Liquid Blush ($5.99; ulta.com) is a liquid blush that comes in gorgeous shades of pinks and peaches. The formula is more of a cream that is nice to blend and leaves a dewy sheen that is perfect especially for drier skin tones. Essence Baby Got Glow Liquid Highlighter ($5.99; ulta.com) is similar in packaging to the blush and is a gorgeous, glowy highlighter without obvious glitter. The formula is creamy and very nice to blend without enhancing skin texture.

Living Proof Perfect Hair Day High-Shine Gloss Hair Treatment

Living Proof Perfect Hair Day High-Shine Gloss Hair Treatment Review, Photos

Living Proof Perfect Hair Day High-Shine Gloss Hair Treatment ($36; sephora.com) is a new launch from Living Proof and a high shine gloss that can be used in-shower for smooth, glossy hair effortlessly. I love how weightless it feels and how easy and quick it is to use .It is also silicone and sulfate free and doesn't leave a film or layer behind. Living proof recommends using this after shampoo and conditioner. The Perfect Hair Day line is one of my favorite lines from Living Proof and this product is no exception. I use very little for my medium length hair that is fine, yet frizzy. My roots do tend to get oily and the ends dry. I like how easy this is to wash off. The totally weightless texture doesn’t weigh my hair down or feel greasy. The shine is amazing and hair feels silkier, easy to manage and overall healthy. I can see this working well on most hair types and love how easy it is to use in the shower probably once a week.

Two New Skincare Favorites From Ole Henriksen

Two New Skincare Favorites From Ole Henriksen Review, Photos

Two new skincare finds from Ole Henriksen I’ve been loving recently. The Banana Bright+ Instant Glow Moisturizer with Niacinamides and Vitamin C ($52; sephora.com) is a rich, non greasy daytime moisturizer that I love by itself or under makeup. The texture is perfect for my combination-dry skin and sinks in easily without feeling heavy or tacky. The citrus scent is mild, very zesty and refreshing without overpowering. It does add an instant glow to the skin while leaving it feeling soft and plump. I love this as a daily moisturizer for my dry skin and would definitely recommend it for anyone who wants a rich, yet lightweight moisturizer that adds a nice glow. The Pout Preserve Hydrating Peptide Lip Treatment In Creme Brulee ($22; sephora.com) is another favorite that helps my chronic dry lips. It's a glossy lip treatment that isn’t too sticky. The scent is mild and the color, Creme Brulee is a very sheer nude. I like how my lips feel after using this and can see myself using it a lot more come winter.
