With these last month…gahhh…of my 40’s, and 50 right around the corner, I thought I would share a few of my favorite beauty finds. These are a few skincare and my two favorite hair styling products!
I am someone that has had awesome skincare from the time I was a teenager. My Mom made sure of it, so I have used everything from Avon, Jafra (remember them??), Mary Kay, Clinque and even Pro-Active. I personally do not think I have pretty skin, just being honest. It just has never had what I think of as “pretty skin”, and now as I get older, my pores are definitely larger, so I am always looking for ways to improve what I’ve got! I feel like now at this age I am finding products that I love and that are helping to maintain. That’s not to say I wouldn’t be up for a little “cosmetic intervention” (wink wink)
A FEW FAVES
I needed a new cleanser a year ago, and heard great things about the Revision line. So I ordered their Brightening Facial Wash, and I LOVE it! It smells like oranges, the bottle is a great size and lasts a long time! After the first bottle, I ran out and thought I would find something else, but I noticed immediately that my skin did not look as bright…so I re-ordered! It’s a little pricier than drugstore, but worth it!
Right around the time I was looking for face wash, Erin sent me some samples of Beautycounter. I had wanted to give their products a try, so I was thrilled. After using the full little tube of Rejuvenating Radiance Serum, I emailed her and order the full tube! This is hands down my FAVORITE product! I use it morning and night and my skin is softer and the skin tone is improved. With Vitamin C, mixed fruit acids, algae and marine extract, this serum absorbs easily, and I can layer it under moisturizer and not feel greasy! LOVE IT!!
Another Beautycounter favorite is their Charcoal Mask! I have tried a couple, but I love this one especially as it dries, you can actually see it pulling the oil out of your pores! I do also love their Plumping and Brightening masks as well!
NuFace. I LOVE this device! I’ll be honest, I have not been good at consistency, but when I do use it…I notice a difference!!! You can see instant “lift” right after you use it, but I also notice if I use it at night, the next morning my face feels tighter. Ok, I just reminded myself to use that baby every night! 50 I see you!
Last up, my two favorite hair products! I had heard the praises of dry texturizing spray, but honestly, I didn’t want to pay $30 for bottle. I found the Kristen Ess Working Texture Spray, and decided for half the price I would give it a try! Holy cow, game changer!! It gives the right amount of lift and separation, and the smell is amazing!!
My newest addition is the Kristen Ess Loose Styling Powder. This is perfect to sprinkle on your roots around the crown of your head for just enough grip to give a little extra volume! This with the Working Texture Spray are the perfect combo! I have used several Kristen Ess products and love them all!
So those are a few of my favorite things!

I’ve had my eye on the NuFace device for awhile. I don’t know what I’m waiting for to order it!
Great post Dawn! I’m always fascinated by others’ beauty routines…I’ve been especially curious about those facial massager gizmos! Thank for all the great info!
