My name is Lindsey, and I am a beauty product junkie.
For real. One of my yearly goals was to use up the
products I own before buying anything new. Meaning that icky Vanilla Apricot
from Bath & Body Works that I bought because I couldn’t resist a sale, is
now being utilized by yours truly, whether I like it or not. Nothing like
teaching yourself a lesson!
Anyway, this week, here are some of my favorites. Yes,
they change weekly, and occasionally more often. Don’t judge.
-Burt’s Bees Mama Bee Balm. A pregnant MUST. It’s the
perfect texture post-shower, and I do believe it prevented a lot of stretch
marks from Reese (because, holy hell, things could’ve been a lot worse
considering I gained a whopping 43 pounds).
-Victoria’s Secret So Sexy Instant Detangler. My hair
is usually a tangled, teased mess. I kind of prefer it messy. But there are
times I have to brush through the snarls, and this makes it possible, plus
smells…sexy.
-(almost hidden) Dior DiorBronze Face Tanner. It’s
expensive, and smells like a rich lady, and actually works without clogging my
pores. I love it! But I use it wisely, as I am not, myself, a rich lady.
-Burt’s Bees lip balm. There is not a person on this
earth who doesn’t use it, right? I slather it on before bed and under my
lipstick/gloss in the morning. No chapped lips all winter! (Then again, did we
even have a winter this year in Michigan? Not that I’m complaining.)
-Benefit It’s Potent! Eye cream. This brand is
seriously the bee’s knees. The retro-glam packaging has made me melt since I
was a mere 17. And this eye cream is totally not greasy, and not nearly as
pricey as others I’ve tried.
-The Body Shop Cocoa Butter Everyday Summer Lotion. A
slight tan in a bottle. I’m guilty of using self-tanners, but hey—I’m okay with
the wrinkle-free route. This one smells kind of grapey, and isn’t terribly
dramatic. There are others I love, too, and I will post them at some point.
-The Body Shop Camomile Eye Makeup Remover. Where’s the
“h” in chamomile? I don’t know, and I don’t care, because this stuff is the
ONLY eye makeup remover that works swifty and doesn’t leave smudges and is
totally hydrating and doesn’t irritate my contacts. Heavenly!
-The Body Shop Moroccan Rose Body Milk. The scent. is. amazing.
It’s way less greasy and thick than lotion, and perfect for summer when you’d
rather not sweat it off.
