Weekly Beauty Favorites

Hey everyone! Today I'm sharing my favorite beauty products of the week!

First up are a couple of Skincare items from ULTA:

I'm really excited about these two products in particular. I've been searching for new skincare items to use in my evening routine and discovered these products a few weeks ago. I've tried them each nightly and I'm really happy with both of these products.
¤ ULTA Active Repair Eye Serum- "..helps to reduce the appearance of fine lines, wrinkles, puffiness and dark circles in one single step..." This serum is formulated to help eliminate the appearance of dark circles and bags, improves hydration of skin, it is also allergy tested, opthamologist tested, suitable for all skin types and is not tested on animals.
¤ ULTA Intensive Treatment Night Repair Cream- "Deeply penetrating cream works over night to hydrate and replenish skin. Active Repair Complex enhances skin barrier function to increase moisture, decrease the appearance of wrinkles and improve skin clarity." This night cream helps in preventing moisture loss, supports the skin barrier to enhance elasticity, relieves dull damaged skin, is also allergy tested, suitable for all skin types, and not tested on animals.
Overall, I am pleasantly surprised at how much I'm enjoying these products from ULTA's Skincare Line. They really seem to work well with my sensitive skin and have now become regular additions to my skincare routine.

Next up is Revlon Just Bitten Kissable Balm Stain in Smitten:

This is another product that I've only had for a few weeks, but I'm already in love.
"It’s a pampering balm fused with a lightweight lipstain in an adorable chubby crayon. Just Bitten Kissable Balm Stain gives softer, smoother lips with a perfect flush of color that lasts hour after hour. The gel formula comes in 12 vibrant shades that match any look or mood." -revlon.com
I feel that this product does exactly as it's advertised. It's smooth, easy to use and the color payoff is wonderful. What I love most is it's lasting power! Revlon has been coming out with some excellent products lately and these babies are no exception. Now, how can I convince myself that it's okay to want every other shade?

The next product is Lancome Hypnose Star Mascara in 01 Nior Midnight:

This mascara is fantastic! I got this product as a sample in a Sephora order and I don't think I've ever liked a mascara as much as I like this one! "This mascara dresses lashes in intense volume, unfolding a new vision of glamour inspired by Betty Boop and top model Daria Werbowy. The formula's "black-diamond effect" imparts a glossy gel-like finish. The dual-action brush has a flat side for optimizing product deposit at the lash line while the rounded side separates, defines, and lengthens."-sephora.com
Although, the full size mascara is a little pricey ($28, yikes!) I feel that it's definitely worth the price. For me, it really does give "show stopping volume."

These last two products are beauty tools, Sigma Brushes:

¤Sigma Large Angled Contour- F40:

This brush is hands down a must-have for any makeup collection!! I can't get enough of this brush. It is perfect for applying bronzer to contour the cheekbones, forehead/temples and jawline areas. I don't know what I would do without this brush now that I have it. It is seriously amazing. Great quality, the angle is perfect, it's so soft and has rounded edges which (for me) makes a more natural look. Simply amazing.

¤Sigma Tapered Face- F25:

This brush is also amazing! I use it everyday to set my foundation and concealer with setting powder. The tapered shape gives exact placement of whatever product you're using. It's also a great brush for contour, applying blush or any other powder product. The bristles are natural and this brush in particular is fairly large with a precise tapered tip. I think that any brush from sigma is going to be worth the money because the quality is so great. Do you have any brush favorites from sigma?

Well, that's all of my favorite beauty products from this week! Thanks so much for stopping by and as always, I hope that you have a beautiful day! xx-Katie
