My 5 FAV Beauty Products of 2019
My absolutely favorite thing about the anticipated New Year is the ‘Year in Review’ columns, articles, vlogs, clips etc. I love to hear everyone weigh in on their TOP favorite things of the year and so I wanted to get in on the action too!! Today, I’m sharing my Top 5 Favorite Beauty Products of 2019! Yay! I think you’ll find that these favorites have a few things in common:
They ALL come from environmentally and socially responsible companies
They are committed to producing safe, clean products that you don’t have to feel badly about bringing into your home or applying to your body
And they WORK. Not only are they safe and clean, but I have found that they work like NO other and so I do not feel like I’m sacrificing quality or functionality for the sake of the cause (albeit noble).
These 5 products are a part of my regular routine and honestly, I can’t live without them! In addition to sharing what they are and WHY I love them, I’m including links also so you can check them out for yourself! Here is to a clean, safe, and EFFECTIVE beauty lineup in 2020!!
—————————————————————————————————————————————————————-
(1) Berry Refined Scrub by Monat Global - This exfoliant mask that is part of Monat’s recently launched skin care line is seriously yummy enough to eat. It utilizing cranberry seeds and a blend of natural fruit acids to exfoliate and leave your skin GLOWING. You can feel and see a difference immediately after washing and smells delicious! For this no nonsense beauty girl to now utilize an exfoliant mask now twice a week - it HAS to be good. This product was also recognized by Popsugar as one of the top ‘Game Changing Skincare Products’ that their editors are thankful for.
(2) CinnaFresh Deodorant by Young Living - Deodorant is one of the more recent switches I have made in my clean beauty line up and I tried a few others out there before Young Living and this was the absolute BEST. I found the others to either be lacking in effectiveness at inhibiting odors OR some left a clumpy residue that was neither appealing nor attractive! Young Living’s blend works AND goes on smooth and clump free! pH balanced, aluminum free, and formulated without parabens, talc, perfumes, dyes nor anything artificial. It is made with natural fragrances of cinnamon, clove and eucalyptus. I apply for everyday use as well as workout/running days and NEVER worry about BO. #winning
(3) Renew Shampoo by Monat Global - Simply put, I will never use another shampoo again. This hydrating shampoo has truly transformed my hair (along with other Monat hair care products), yet I choose this one because it’s a STAPLE in my hair game. I may swap out a hair masque here and there, or a conditioner but this shampoo is what works best for my hair like no other. Again, sulfate/paraben free, this shampoo penetrates and moisturizes the scalp. It helps to boost natural hair growth (contains capixyl - a natural stimulant for hair growth) and improves follicle strength to aid in reducing hair thinning. My hair is longer, stronger and more healthy than its ever been!
(4) Color Pinch Cream Blusher by Beautycounter - Ooooh my my. I have looked high and low for a cream blusher and it’s SO hard to find. Yet, in walks Beautycounter to my life and BAM - they have one AND it’s safe, clean and chemical free! This product features a rich pigment and natural dewy finish (which is why I LOVE a cream blush - can’t stand a ‘caked on’ look!) that naturally brightens the cheeks for a rosy GLOW. Oooh and you can totally wear on the lips and the lids too! #bonus
(5) Rejuveniqe Oil by Monat Global - And last but absolutely not least is the magical unicorn product by Monat, the Rejuveniqe Oil Intensive. This product is unlimited with the benefits to your hair and skin, yet for me I love to use it as a monthly overnight hair treatment for my hair and scalp. Made with a blend of 13+ oil blends including antioxidants, beta-carotene and omega-3 fatty acids, this oil nourishes everything it touches: scalp, hair, face, skin - I have also used to heal burns, to treat split skin on my heels, to help with cradle cap or eczema. It’s truly magical and is a MUST HAVE to any beauty line up.
Friends - I hope you find this list helpful! I fully stand behind each and every one of these products FULLY. Please utilize the links to check them out for yourself or if I can provide a sample (where possible), it would be my pleasure! Transitioning to a fully clean beauty line up in 2019 was one my goals and I am THRILLED to not only be able to do that utilizing stellar products from these companies, yet to do so and stand behind the quality and effectiveness makes me feel so integritous!
With that - Happy New Year to you! It is my hope and prayer that 2020 is everything you want it to be and MORE! xoxo
In Style & Grace,
