Dry Skincare Series - Current Favorites!

The cold weather has been lingering slightly for the past month so my skin has been on the dryer side. I have been trying out a couple different things and here are a few of my current dry skincare favorites since it's been a while!

Cerave Healing Ointment - I absolutely love this! When you first apply it it's a thick ointment and almost oily but it gently sinks into your parched skin leaving behind a silky touch. My morning "man hands" have been replaced with "baby hands". I also used it as a lip balm last night before bed. Definitely a must have! A little goes a long way. Find it here!

Aveeno Therapeutic Shave Gel - This gel is perfect for winter shaving. I love the fact that my skin doesn't feel tight or itchy after shaving when I use this. Find it here!

Cover FX Custom Infusion Drops - These are great for any time of year but I just love the customization they offer. I've been using the Vitamin F + Neroli or the Vitamin E + Chamomile every morning.

NUXE Rêve de Miel Ultra-Nourishing Lip Balm - This lip balm is great for underneath liquid lipsticks and also as a night treatment! I love the smooth, buttery, but never greasy texture. It actually moisturizes my lips and prepares them for lipstick rather than just sitting on them. Find it here!

My Current Favorite Foundation!

I have been obsessed with this foundation for the past two months atleast. It has the most beautiful perfecting satin finish I've seen in a long time. I don't find it heavy or cakey. I currently wear their lightest shade, Breeze 0.5.

This stuff is perfection. I loved it all winter and I have a feeling it will be just as great for the summer months because it doesn't slide off my face or fade throughout the day. My skin is dry but I don't see it sticking to dry patches at all.

I like to apply this with my ItCosmetics double ended foundation brush. It applies with an airbrushed finish. I would like to try it with a damp Beauty Blender though just to see if it sets faster or if it can be buffed out to more than just a medium to fuller coverage.

It covers everything really nice, uneven skin tone? Covered! Blemishes? Covered! Under eye circles? Covered! All concealed without the heavy feeling of a full full coverage foundation. I think you could even use this as just a concealer when needed. It would make a great travel companion.

It's Clinique but not a super expensive foundation which is great. I purchased mine at Sephora for $27 but it can also be found at Macy's and other Clinique retailers.

MOTD - Chucky Doll

This makeup of the day I was going for modern glam. I love a good winged liner plus a bold lip. Give Me Glow Cosmetics is an awesome indie makeup brand that has tons of liquid lipstick colors. The formula is soft, smooth, and stays on forever! She carries dupes for higher end brand shades. I can't wait to purchase more colors in the future. This shade is called Chucky Doll! It's a fabulous muted orange red. It's a great shade for Summer. I can see myself wearing this color almost daily because it is so wearable.

I finished the look off with Stila's liquid eyeliner pen in navy, Anastasia's new Brow Definer in Ebony and last but not least, two coats of Physicians Formula's Eye Booster fiber mascara!
