I’m pretty loyal to skincare and make-up products but I’ve been been using a few newer items that I’ve had some success with. I’ve come across so many brands that I’ve never heard of before, but I have a feeling that a lot of them are promising. There’s a sites like AbodyCandle.com that I still need to check out, but from what I’ve heard from others, I am very hopeful. This is why I love skincare. There’s so much to it and there’s always something new.

Here are my most recent beauty and skincare buys.

Eden Bodyworks All Natural Cleansing CoWash – This moisturizing cowash comes in handy on week nights when doing a lengthy wash/deep conditioning treatment will simply take too long. This effective cowash cleanses my hair well and has a nice light scent.

RMS Master Mixer – Adding a subtle blow to your face is key year-round but particularly during the winter months. I’m not big on wearing a lot of make-up on most days (my make-up routine takes no more than 5 min). But this RMS Master Mixer adds a minor touch to my eyelids or anywhere else I want to highlight.

Jade Facial Roller – Over the past couple of weeks, I’ve been trying the ancient Chinese tradition of jade rolling. It’s purported to have various benefits but I haven’t been doing it long enough to observe any changes yet. But I do like beauty rituals, so I’ll keep using it.

Glossier Boy Brow – This brow tamer puts my brows in place particularly when I am between brow threading appointments and my brows are thicker than usual.

The Lip Bar Matte Liquid Lipstick in Bawse Lady – This was actually a gift from my Mom, but I like it so much, I’ve included it. I’d gotten out of the habit of wearing lipstick on a regular basis, but I like this deep red color so much, I’ve started wearing it regularly. I can’t wait to try other shades from this brand.

The Takesumi Detox Deodorant – I’ve been using natural deodorants since last summer and have found quite a few effective ones but this is just the latest in the rotation. This was actually a small sample version, so time will tell if I repurchase. Btw, I love this deodorant but it’s pretty pricey to buy on a regular basis.
