This blog post was initially going to be talking about new products that I’ve purchased from Tula and Urban Decay BUT because my last beauty blog post was over a year ago, I thought it would be better to share an update of everything that I use (as well as my most recent purchases).
Tula
I still absolutely LOVE Tula and now I only use Tula products for skincare. Tula has been coming out with a LOT of new items that I’ve been trying:
- Makeup Removing Balm
- Acne Spot Treatment
- So Poreless Deep Exfoliating Blackhead Scrub
- Rose Glow & Get It Cooling & Brightening Eye Balm
- Brightening & Neutralizing Eye Balm
- Daily Sunscreen Gel Broad Spectrum SPF 30
- Brightening Face Mist
“Daily Routine”
What I wear (almost) everyday:
- Face Filter Blurring & Moisturizing Primer:
- Daily Sunscreen Gel Broad Spectrum SPF 30: I kept this sunscreen in my purse all summer for whenever I need it. This sunscreen isn’t greasy, doesn’t clog your pores and also protects your skin from pollution & blue light.
- Eye Balm:
- Glow & Get It Cooling & Brightening Eye Balm: This one targets puffy and tired eyes, it also has caffeine so I use this one when I go to work or somewhere early in the morning.
- Brightening & Neutralizing Eye Balm: This one treats dark circles and protects against blue light. This one also really brightens your eyes so I use this one mid work day or when I am going out.
- Rose Glow & Get It Cooling & Brightening Eye Balm: This one targets wrinkles and hydrates your skin so I use this one when I stay home, just running errands, pretty much if I don’t use one of the other two.
What I use as needed:
Updated Skincare “Routine”
- Makeup Removing Balm: Before washing my face, I use this to remove any eye make up (if I’m wearing any) & this removes EVERYTHING. It really breaks down the make up to remove everything. Typically with wipes, there’s always something left but the balm REALLY removes everything.
- Purifying Face Cleanser: To be completely honest, I don’t wash my face every day. I only wash my face when I shower which is generally 5 times a week. My skin is so much softer since using the cleanser and it always just feels so much cleaner.
- Acne Spot Treatment: After I clean my face I use the spot treatment on any breakout or I use this when I feel a breakout coming.
Urban Decay
I was a little hesitant at first to buy the latest Naked Palette because of the colours (I wasn’t sure how I felt about the purples) but after seeing it in person I fell in love with it! It actually reminds me of Daphne from Scooby Doo (see image below) so I’ve been calling it my Daphne palette. The purple shades have been fun to play with and will be fun to use in fall and the neutral in this palette are what Ive been using when I wear eye makeup! When I purchased the palette, there was a sample version of the Lash Freak Mascara and Subversion Lash Primer both of which work really especially together!
