It’s officially a new year, and it’s time to get into something new. I like to think of myself as an advocate for all beauty-related shopping. Therefore, my New Year’s shopping cart consisted of just about everything from TikTok raves (oh, how I’ll miss you) to necessary restocks.
Check out 10 beauty products I’ve bought recently to dive into the New Year.
Natasha Denona Concealer
I’ve wanted this concealer for a while, as it’s managed to stay sold out everywhere. I finally placed my order with Sephora, and the concealer is fantastic. It’s hydrating, full- coverage, and has a beautiful, natural, seamless finish. I’d recommend it if you have trouble with dark circles or puffiness or want to take your glam to the next level.
Ouai Melrose Place Eau de Parfum
I’ve been obsessed with this body fragrance since I worked at Sephora a few years ago. Many people don’t know that the brand, which mainly specializes in hair care, also specializes in some bomb fragrances. Melrose Body Spray smells like vacation, with floral hints of roses and fruity infusions such as bergamot and champagne, perfect for an escape from winter.
Bath & Body Works Cozy Vanilla Bourbon Body Cream
Just because Christmas is over doesn’t mean winter is, and I’ve been thoroughly enjoying vanilla scents this winter. Bath & Body Work’s twist on vanilla scents is long-reigning, and the Cozy Vanilla Bourbon scent does not fall short on that list. It’s just what you imagine: vanilla and bourbon! However, this scent makes you want to cozy up to the fireplace. It smells like the perfect winter getaway.
Medicube Deep Vita C Pads
A very recent purchase of mine is the Medicube Deep Vita C pads. The Korean pads offer the ultimate hydration boost and exfoliation to dead skin cells. I will definitely be adding to my nighttime routine.
Fenty Beauty Cookies N’ Clean Sacyclic Acid Mask
I’ve been off of birth control for around eight months, and unfortunately, I’ve been experiencing hormonal acne. It has gotten a lot better, and weekly masks have contributed a lot; like the Fenty Beauty Sacyclic Acid mask is the perfect detoxing mask for unclogging pores and giving a great reset on any self-care Sunday.
MadebyMitchell Beam Lip Gloss
A TikTok viral lip gloss has made its waves to my fyp (for you page). The glosses are the perfect purse and pocket sizes, super hydrating and pigmented. I am obsessed with the Stargirl color. I love to wear it with brown lipliner.
Golí Nutrition Ashwagandha Gummies
Not only do these gummies taste amazing, I fear they work! As soon as I take them, I either get drowsy or, if I’m already on my way to sleep, these help me stay asleep throughout the night. I notice significant improvements in my sleep when I take them — no more waking up at 3 am in the middle of the night.
Good Molecules Discoloration Correcting Serum
I’ve heard so many great things about Good Molecules that I had to try. This discoloration-correcting serum works flawlessly. After having some hyperpigmentation from acne, I noticed my routine wasn’t helping my cells recover fast enough. With this serum, you’ll likely see improvements to acne scars and discoloration marks within a week. The serum is hydrating, and the brand is also “clean,” meaning the products do not contain harsh ingredients, chemicals, and parabens for the skin.
Topicals Acai Slick Salve Balm
I already loved the OG slick salve balm, but I recently got the acai shade, and it’s the perfect neutral berry tone. It’s ideal for those no-makeup days or to seal your makeup lip with this balm. What I love the most about the slick salve is the durability of the balm, especially during the winter. I can feel this working when I step outside as it hydrates every part of my lips; now I just have a prettier shade!
Danessa Myricks Beauty Golden Hour
I have been on an orange blush journey, and the Danessa Myricks Beauty Golden Hour blush did not disappoint. I love the cream blushes, which are super hydrating, long-lasting, and pigmented. A little goes a long way, but if you’re on the hunt for any new cream blushes, Danessa Myricks Beauty is the brand to visit as her shade variety is endless.
