Welcome to our Favourites of the month — once again, beauty junkies Ana and Belen have put together a monthly roundup of new releases and undisputed favorites worth adding to your online cart ASAP. From wellness to beauty finds, here are the things these two editors can’t stop talking about.
Ana’s Favourites
Foreo, Bear Mini
About two months ago I received this pocket-size, adorable-appearance anti-aging microcurrent device, and the happiness was real. If you know me, you probably are aware of my little crazy obsession with anti-aging products so when I read about this new facial gadget – better known as a personal trainer for your face I had to give it a go!
I love to use it a night after cleansing my face and serum is already applied. The Foreo Bear Mini is part of the Foreo For You App so you can easily follow the process set up but basically, I start at the center of my chin and glide the Bear slowly in an upward motion with light pressure, then, once I’ve made my way around my entire face I also like to use a light misting with my favorite facial mist and I can see instantly how my face looks more sculpted and tightened – Long term results? Re-build the collagen, repair elastin, and tone the face muscles thanks to its microcurrent technology!
AMLY, Day Light Face Oil
Lucky me I do have tried quite a few face oils until this day but there’s one I’ve tried that I do feel goes beyond moisturizing and into full-on it’s working space is the Day Light by Amly. This minimal yet still cool face oil is perfect for this time of the year where dry skin is my new normal and moisturising with anti-oxidant properties make my skin feeling better.
I’ll definitely recommend you to try it, even though it’s not cheap, it’s beyond-worth it so I’m sure that you, like me, will love this botanical clean beauty product as much as I swear by… Smooth this rich, wildly luxurious formula on at daylight and, your skin will look as if you’ve had a facial, leaving the skin supple and glowy.
The Beauty Chef, Flora Fix Balm
This winter, I felt in love with The Beauty Chef Flora Fix Balm as my lips were cracked as never before needless to say, a great lip balm is pretty essential for me and what to say? The balm itself is overflowing with certified organic, clean ingredient goodness, meaning it doesn’t contain potentially toxic synthetic fragrance, pigments, or preservatives as any conventional lip product (yes, we eat most of what we dab on our lips).
One of the balm’s biggest appeal, though, is its chic simplicity yet effectivity so now I love to carry my little pot with me wherever I go or just leave it on my desk, sweeping it across my eyelids for a subtle glow as well that wakes up my entire face. Also, the divine formula is somehow light yet super nourishing, and a little dab gets me through most of the day.
Belen’s Favourites
Salt Lab, Magnesium Oil
WFH it’s been such a game-changer for most of us, and a long way till we found ourselves on a stable and sustainable path to balance the sometimes tricky 24/7 at home mood. Not having the right workspace, saturating our minds with work-related thoughts, and stress-induced for the unconventional situation we are living nowadays… I’m sure are symptoms that like me you are suffering these days.
I’ve always had issues with my back but actually it hasn’t been until a few months ago that I was in deep pain in this area, I was stretching every day, trying to move as much as possible but working for long hours on not the best posture wasn’t doing my any favor until magnesium came as a lifesaver to my sore muscles.
I’ve been hearing about the powerful benefits of Magnesium for a while but actually never got into it, until when the pain was constant I said to myself I’ll try anything on the name of wellness to leave that pain away and not by surprise since I’m spritzing the Salt Lab Magnesium Oil spray on both my shoulders and the lower part of my back that feeling of sore muscles is not within me anymore.
Magnesium is not only good to relieve sore muscles but also to get you in the mood of getting your best beauty sleep so much needed these days.
Charlotte Tilbury, Legendary Lashes Mascara
Smoothly going back to social gatherings as the warm weather knock out our windows, I’m finding myself in deep love with this paraben-free Charlotte Tilbury mascara.
I don’t know about you, but for me, great makeup is not on point without my lashes making a statement, I have long eyelashes, I know… but that doesn’t imply my eyes won’t be looking for a glimpse of attention! If you have followed CF for a while, you know we are truly Charlotte’s advocates and not to mention a best-selling formula reformulated for a long-wear, smudge-proof (who likes those mascaras that go all over your eyes area and create a kinda panda look?) and humidity resistant weather wasn’t on my agenda for our favourites of the month.
Renamed as the Legendary Lashes Volume 2 this Intense black shade will for sure, increase lash thickness and volume after just ONE application, hands up for a wide-awake look in seconds?
Grown Alchemist, Rosehip Oil
Pure Rosehip Oil is perfect as an intensive treatment when experiencing dry cool weather like the wintery days we all have been suffering throughout the entire month of August. Even though my skin has always been more prone to an oily state, using oils during my nighttime routine has been a huge discovery this year and a great one. If staying home more than usual has taught me anything over the past few months is to have a better understanding of my self-care needs, skin included.
Yes, it’s true that I like to try new products all the time but also in favour of these kinds of products that have multiple uses and making the most out of them is my weakness; on saying that, I’ve been mixing non-stop my GA Rosehip oil with my foundation and OH MY the glow is just speechless, not only Rosehip oil leaves your skin smooth and firm, but it makes a great glow booster.
Hear me out mix one drop of this golden goodie with your fave BB cream or foundation and I assured you your makeup will never look that juicy.
