Revolution Beauty’s Pout Bomb Plumping Gloss ($8; ulta.com) and Lip Liner ($6; ulta.com) are both fantastic budget beauty picks for a sheer, glossy pop of color. The Gloss is a nice consistency that is moisturizing and the liners are very smooth and glide on easily. While not the most long wearing lip liners, the pigment is great. The gloss also has a fabulous, big wand that is easy to apply and feels great on the lips. The shades are sheer, but add a nice pop of color without heaviness or tackiness. I also like the staying power and when paired with the lipliner, these make for a great lip duo for perfectly lined, glossy lips.
L’oreal has a few new, interesting lunches for eyes, lips and face. The L'Oreal Paris Plump Ambition Hyaluron Lip Oil Plumping Lip Gloss ($9; target.com) is a hydrating lip oil with a hint of color. The wand, similar to those of L’Oreal’s lip glosses is easy to use and helps with even application, Cherry Cherie is a sheer, wearable red that goes on smooth and leaves a glassy shine on the lips.
The L'Oreal Paris Voluminous Panorama Volumizing Mascara ($15.99; target.com) is a new thickening mascara with a multi level bristle brush that helps add volume and separate. I like how lashes look nice and full without feeling crunchy or too stiff. The Lash Paradise Mascara in Latte Brown ($12.99; target.com) is a new shade addition and I quite like the brown shade on days when I want a softer eye look.
Lastly, the Lumi Le Glass and Glow Highlighter Stick In Sparkling Rose ($12.99; ulta.com) is another easy to use highlighter that has a nice sheen without a ton of shimmer/glitter, The finely milled, creamy texture is nice to blend out and doesn’t enhance pores or texture!
Essie’s Ready. Prep. Go. Advanced Cuticle Remover ($16; ulta.com) is a new and easy to use cuticle remover that is gentle and comes with a cuticle pusher. I leave this on for a few seconds and push my cuticles back. I love this as a gentle alternative and how easy it is to use.
Nails Inc’s new Its Topless 1 Step Gel Manicure ($8.99; target.com) is an easy to use, opaque nail color that gives a gel-like look with a nice, glossy finish. I do use a base and a top coat, but the formula is fantastic and easy to use with the wide brush that applies polish effortlessly.
Garnier’s Whole Belnds Honey Water Haircare ($5.99- $10; walmart.com) is a balancing haircare range that cleanses without stripping. The shampoo is a good one if you have an oily scalp and while the conditioner, although light, doesn't weigh hair down. I would recommend a hair mask if you have very dry ends. The Styling Cream is a lightweight cream that works well when air drying and adds movement to my curls.
The Hair Edit makes some amazing hair accessories and I recently got to try out a few of them. The Gilded Mermaid Hair Clip ($14.99; target.com) is great to hold up hair in a bun. While not the lightest, it does a good job of keeping hair up without causing too much friction and breakage. The Glow On & Sparkle Hair Pins ($13.99; target.com) are fancy, yet practical and easy to use and I love the neutral color theme that goes with everything.
Burt’s Bees’ Tinted Boosted Balms ($7.99; target.com) are cream lip balm sticks that can be used on the lips. The texture is a tad waxy and sheer and the finish is slightly glossy and easy to apply as well. They are great lip products to have for a quick swipe of balmy color and moisture. They also work as a sheer blush and the formula is non drying. The Rescue Lip Relief ($5.39; target.com) is a more nourishing lip balm with a vanilla flavor. It's a thicker texture and nice to use it by itself or to prep before lipstick.
