I know it's over-said, but I really can't believe summer is just about over. With a season change fast approaching, it seemed appropriate to write about some of the products I've been loving these last few months. My main focus has been using what I have, so most of these are things I've rediscovered in my collection rather than new purchases.
Weleda Skin Food
Skin Food is one of those cult products that I think almost everyone is familiar with by now. It's a thick, somewhat heavy moisturizer, so not something I'd expect to get a lot of use out of in the summer, but I've actually been reaching for it quite a bit. My elbows have been extra dry recently and it's been working well for them.
Know Your Ingredients Argan Oil with Vitamin C Serum*
I rediscovered KYI's serum (originally reviewed here) when doing some organizing. It's a great face serum, but in true blogger fashion, I'd moved on to testing other things and it had ended up being pushed to the side. With One Love Organics' Vitamin C Body Oil in the back of my mind, I decided to try it on my body one day, and the rest is history. A little goes a long way and it leaves my skin super soft and hydrated.
Evolve Gentle Cleansing Melt
I've wanted to try Evolve for ages, so when I saw the Gentle Cleansing Melt for half price in a Naturisimo sale, I rushed to snatch it up. It's a cleansing balm, but it's pretty unique in that it also fully emulsifies when you add water. I'll have a full review up in the next week or two, so I don't want to go into too many details here, but suffice it to say, I love it.
Pure + Simple Face Colour in Taupe
Pure + Simple's Face Colours are multi-use powders that can be used anywhere on the face, lips, or eyes. I originally bought Taupe thinking I'd be able to use it as a contour, but it has a slight golden sheen and doesn't work as well for that purpose as I'd hoped. I have worn it as an all-over bronzer to warm up my face, but my favorite way to use it is as an eye shadow. It's not clear in the photo, but I've actually made quite a dip in there! Taupe is the perfect medium brown to use in the crease or as a transition color to blend out almost any eye look. There's better pictures of the color, as well as swatches, in my original review.
Mineral Fusion Liquid Lip Gloss in Polished
I didn't have a clear lip gloss in my collection, so I could just about justify adding Polished, which I received in a swap a couple months ago. It works with any and all lip colors and I really prefer glosses in squeeze tubes like this, since they give you such better control over the amount of product you're using than a regular doe foot applicator. The gloss itself has a light berry scent and gives a good amount of shine without any stickiness. It also leaves my lips feeling comfortable and hydrated.

ReplyDeleteDefinitely give it a try! It's one case where all the hype is well deserved :)
Deletethe serum sounds great, i'm currently using avalon organics vit c serum. i have the evolve mask, great for short term brightening. i need to try the cleansing melt, shame its not still on sale
ReplyDeleteThe Evolve mask is what first caught my eye, months and months ago! I actually only went for the cleanser because of the sale, but I'm so glad I did. I even went back to try and snag a 2nd bottle on sale right after I tried it, but the sale was already over by then. Full price isn't too bad, but I'll be keeping an eye out for more sales for sure!
DeleteI really like Evolve's facial scrub. I would love to try the cleansing melt too x
