Monthly Favorites: January 2024 Edition!

[GeorginaBT]

New year, new beauty faves! 💁‍♀️✨ In 2024, I’m doubling down on beauty products that work for me – seeing dry patches on my skin? There’s a moisturizer for that. Need to prevent acne after a workout? I tried a facial spray to fight it off! I’m big on new year’s resolutions, and I’m using this time of year to find motivation to dedicate more time and energy to the beauty products and routines that bring me joy. 💜

Here are a few of the products I’ve been reaching for most this month:

• alpyn beauty Melt Moisturizer with Bakuchiol and Squalane 1.7 oz/ 50 mL 
• BondiBoost Rapid Repair Leave-In Hair Serum for Damaged Hair with Aloe 4.23 oz/ 125 mL 
• Dr. Jart+ Ceramidin™ Skin Barrier Moisturizing Cream 
• maude Soak - vitamin-rich mineral bath salts 
• Tower 28 Beauty Tower 28 x Kung Fu Panda 4 SOS Daily Rescue Facial Spray 4 fl.oz. / 120 mL

@lmaster So happy to hear the Yves Saint Laurent Black Opium Eau de Parfum Over Red is a win... I can't wait to pick one up to smell after hearing the positive reviews!

Oh it's a sensory sensation!! @missjeanie 

[CynthieLu]

Ooh your favorites this month have some serious New Year energy. @GeorginaBT 🥳 I agree full heartedly, I think Tower 28's spray is so handy for after a sweaty workout.  The Tower 28 Beauty Mini SOS Daily Rescue Facial Spray with Hypochlorous Acid 1 oz/ 30 mL fits perfectly in a gym bag too. 😉

My most reached for items this month are leaning towards hydration. My skin is pretty dry naturally so I take extra care in the cold to keep my skin and hair hydrated.

About the products 👇💕

Spoiler

Danessa Myricks Beauty Yummy Skin Glow Serum with Hyaluronic Acid & Niacinamide

Excellent for prepping before makeup. There is no dry skin peaking through my foundation when I use this.

amika Mini Soulfood Nourishing Mask 3.3 oz/ 100 mL 

I have been using this on the ends of my long hair, the hydration lasts a few days, and on my dry ends that's saying something. 😀

Glow Recipe Avocado Ceramide Moisture Barrier Cleanser 5 oz / 150 mL 

Glow Recipe Watermelon Glow Ultra-Fine Mist 2.53 oz/ 75 mL 

Both these products are dry skin friendly.  I like to use the spray just before I apply my foundations, and the face wash is my gentle morning cleanse. 💚

KAYALI YUM PISTACHIO GELATO | 33 Eau De Parfum Intense 

I love this scent and reach for it pretty often. It's one I carry in a travel size in my purse too. It's a unique gourmand and so sweet. 🍨

TOM FORD Lip Color Lipstick 01 Insatiable 

TOM FORD Lip Color Matte Lipstick 100 100 *mini! 🤩*

It's no secret I've been loving this formula of lippie. They wear comfortably and don't dry out my lips at all. I think that's pretty important. They make beautiful colors, I had to mention these little lovelies this month. 🩷

Bonus items: 😉

Worth Mentioning runner ups are: ✨

Clarins Cryo-Flash Instant Lift Effect & Glow Boosting Face Mask 2.5 oz / 75 g I think this mask is wonderful. You see results after using it, I look forward too wearing this just for the way my skin looks after. 😀

Too Faced Born This Way The Natural Nudes Eyeshadow Palette I've been wearing this alot and loving it! 

[jaaayp]

I've been so curious about the KAYALI YUM PISTACHIO GELATO | 33 Eau De Parfum Intense 1.7 oz / 50 mL eau de parfum spray ... is it long lasting??  actually, even more, about the KAYALI EDEN SPARKLING LYCHEE | 39 Eau de Parfum @CynthieLu 🤔

[CynthieLu]

Pistachio has a great lasting effect imo @jaaayp 

Ooh same here! I smelt the KAYALI EDEN SPARKLING LYCHEE | 39 Eau de Parfum in store, it's lovely 🤩 but the lasting effects I couldn't say. It was a really delicious scent thou. 💖

[jaaayp]

Whaaaaa @CynthieLu I'm definitely putting in on my list to go smell when I'm in the store. I feel like going INTO sephora is always a war zone for me so I try to avoid at all cost.. which is probably why I haven't bought fragrance in so long 🥲

[ather]

@CynthieLu  The amika mask is so good!!! Sounds like you are very hydrated! 

[CynthieLu]

Thank you! @ather Hydrated is my happy place, lol. 😉💦
