As much as I love trying new products, I definitely hesitate to when I think I’ve found my favorite of any one thing. That could be a cleanser, a mascara or even lip balm. But a few weeks ago I ventured out of my comfort zone and scored some new great products that I knew I had to share with you.
I love High Beam by Benefit, but slowly but surely I’ve been replacing all my cosmetics with natural ones and I love this highlighter by BareMinerals. If you’re planning to use it as I do, a general highlighter, I don’t recommend using the brush for application but using your fingertip.
It was really hard for me to venture out of my current nightly routine, but this face oil by Tarte is the best I’ve tried. It’s amazing. I could not recommend it more. Could not.
Sometimes I’m lazy. Those same times I don’t feel like washing my face and these wipes don’t dry my skin and leave it squeaky clean. I love them .
I’m not a big lipstick gal, but I went out on a limb and picked up this Tarte lip tint and I’m so glad I did. I tried the one by Smashbox but the one by Tarte is so amazing. It’s hydrating and leaves my lips the perfect shade of pink! I also love that it’s more like a lip balm than gloss.
Have you all tried any amazing products lately?
I love High Beam as well, so maybe I should check out that highlighter instead!
I’m definitely going to have to try that lip tint. I’ve never been big on lipstick (it just feels too heavy) or lipgloss (yuck, my hair gets stuck to my lips) but a little lip color really helps pull a look together. So lip tint might be the perfect solution!
I’ve been so obsessed with the Tarte line recently (specifically the bb cream), and I just love how their packaging includes bamboo tops!
ooooh – very intrigued by the tarte face oil! I love well rested too – is it weird that I have been using it under my eyes?!
I love Smashbox products!!

Do you just use face oil like you would a lotion? I am so clueless when it comes to beauty products. Also… do you have a fave primer and foundation or concealer?
I swear by that Tarte lip stick–and the color options are so great! Lipstick is a hard commitment for me, and this straddles the line between a lipstick and a balm. Also, I love Josie Maran products, so I’m going to have to pick up those wipes!
i need to try those face wash wipes! in the market for a new cleanser but these seem great for travel. also – glad to know you like tarte! i’ve been struggling with natural lipstick – all of the ones i’ve tried smear all over, so it doesn’t really feel worth it!
Sandy gave me a bunch of Tarte lip tints randomly and life hasn’t been the same since.
When I worked for Benefit I stacked up on all the high beam I could get! I will def need to give this new product a chance!
Wipes that don’t dry out your skin are hard to find…can’t wait to try these!
Ok keeping this in mind 😉
I have the Benefit High Beam…so you think the Bare Minerals is a good stand in?
Ooo intrigued by that highlighter! i’ve heard really great things about that face oil too – I’m currently obsessed with a Boscia one but want to check that one out now!
Those wipes are amazing, they are really a life saver for tired nights.
i’ve been looking for new makeup wipes! will have to try this one! x

I have been wanting to try the well-rested highlighter. I have been using the stroke of light eye brightener and it is the best thing that has ever happen to my raccoon eyes
