Friday Finds:: Beauty

1.  Ren Centifolia No. 1 Purity Cleansing Balm – Okay, so it has a really long name and I was very scared to try it at first because of the reviews talking about burning eyes and greasy feel but I love it.  I don’t wear eye make up often but when I do, I find it almost impossible to remove but not with this stuff.  It does sting the eyes a little so if you are super sensitive I’d probably stay away (I am, but I find it livable) since it’s an investment, but a little goes a long way.  I never thought I’d stop using Purity but I think I’ve found a new favorite.

2. Chloe – I received a sample of this in my last order and LOVE it.  I’ve been wearing Poppy for awhile now and while I love it, I wanted something a little more “grown up” for date night and this fits the bill.

3.  Diamencel Foot Buffer #11 – I walk around barefoot ALL. THE. TIME.  and have lived with horrible cracked heels for the last two years.  Pedicures, creams, those stupid softening socks that never worked.  I tried everything and was ready to just give up.  This is spendy but I’ve been using it two or three times a week (I follow up with a heavy duty lotion) for a little over a month and it looks brand new AND my feet are unbelievably soft.

4.  Josie Maran Body Butter – This smells DIVINE and I finally don’t have giant scabs on my legs from itching them in my sleep because they are so dry.  I still use my Cetaphil for day to day because this is expensive and I’m not willing to go through it at the pace I go through moisturizing cream, but I probably use it two or three times a week as a “treat” and love it.  I’d like to try the balm as well.

5. NARS Eyeshadow Base – I have yet to try a product from NARS that I don’t absolutely love and this is no exception.  I have heavily lidded eyes and my shadow smudges and creases and makes me look old.  Or it used to.   I used this the other night and after five hours my eye makeup was exactly where I put it.   I’ll definitely repurchase this.

So…what have you been loving on in the beauty product world lately? I’m looking for some new serums – I’ve developed an allergy to the line I was using so if you have any Vitamin C or Retinoids that you can recommend, I’d LOVE the help!

    FUN post… I love Purity but honestly haven't used it in awhile. All of my other facial products are by P, but I just haven't replenished my purity since I could no longer find it in the foaming wash.

    I've always loved Philosophy skin care but have gotten away from them in the last few years. What are you using for cleanser now?

Hi there, I'm Kate! I love yarn, photography, books, and a good cup of coffee. I blog like it's 2007. I write a lot about knitting, Netflix, and any other nonsense that strikes my fancy. Sometimes I get ranty. Welcome to my little corner of the internet!
