This post was meant to go up last week, but I ended up not being able to schedule posts before going to New York with Glossier at the end of last week. So although the sentiment is a little late, I've still been absolutely loving all the products I'm about to mention. It's all a bit pink-themed for the most part, which is pretty much the story of my life nowadays.
*Milk Makeup Holographic Stick, 'Mars' | I've been a huge fan of the original Holographic Stick in Supernova, the iridescent lilac shade, but I'm over the moon for its new peachy-pink duochrome sister. If you've got warmer undertones in your skin, then this is the Holographic Stick for you. It's so beautiful, and the formula is just as lovely and blendable as the original. It's just a bit more subtle than the original, but just because you'd maybe expect a peachy-pink sheen on the skin rather than a lavender.
Kypris Antioxidant Dew | I had been wanting to try Kypris Beauty for such a long time, so I finally bit the bullet and picked up the Antioxidant Dew when Anthropologie was having a sale. I'm so happy with it so far - it's really hydrating and leaves my skin super glowy. I like adding a drop of rosehip oil or hyaluronic acid serum to give it a little kick. This has been my morning serum of choice almost every day since I got it.
*Glossier Cloud Paint, 'Haze' | The Cloud Paints are pretty much my favorite blushes ever, but recently the shade Haze has risen to the top as my most-used. It's the darkest shade, but it sheers out so easily and makes a believable-looking flush on my super pale skin without being over the top. This has really helped me look healthy and awake - I get less comments that I look tired when I'm wearing this. You can get Cloud Paint or any other Glossier products for 20% off here.
NARS Dual Intensity Eyeshadow, 'Rigel' | I've mentioned that I've recently been getting back into using eyeshadow again, and this beauty from NARS is one I reach for a lot. It's a beautiful rose gold shade that doesn't read too copper-y on me, and it really helps brighten my eyes. It looks lovely both as an all-over lid shade and as an inner corner highlight. The Dual Intensity Eyeshadows are some of my favorites, too.
*KNC Beauty All Natural Collagen-Infused Lip Masks | I've fallen in love with lip masks lately, and these babies from KNC Beauty have quickly become my favorites. I'm always wary of trying new lip treatments because my lips tend to be reactive, but these haven't given me any problems. These tingle a little bit as you're wearing them to let you know they're working, and they really do enhance the look of your lips. These leave my lips super soft and hydrated, and I love using them before I do my makeup for a more special occasion.
Pink Lip Products | This last section isn't dedicated to one product, but to my newfound love of pink. I'm usually quite the neutrals girl, but lately I've been loving a pop of pink. For a tinted balm, I've been loving the Fresh Sugar Lip Treatment in Bloom* - I think this has surpassed my love for the shade Petal, as it's such a pretty pink shade for spring. When I'm going for a matte look I've been using the Kat Von D Everlasting Lip Liner and Liquid Lipstick, both in the shade Lovecraft. This is one of my favorite shades from her line, so I'm glad I have a matching pair now. I really love these new lip liners - they're super creamy but seriously do not budge. And when I'm wanting a gloss, I've been using the Dior Addict Lip Glow Pomade because it's just oh so chic. This doesn't really tint my lips super pink like the original balm does, but it's such a comfortable gloss that feels super nourishing and looks really pretty in my makeup bag.
