Skincare

Hale & Hush Quite Wash *, calming, soothing and refreshing, great for sensitive skin. I sue this every morning on my face.

Meta Skin Pumpkin Smoothing Wash *, nourishing and great for all skin types, I use this at night.

Hale & Hush Remedy Rehab Oil *, balances and nourishes while boosting overall skin radiance.

Hale & Hush Soothe Essence Serum *, calms, protects and hydrates skin, this is an ESSENTIAL in my skin prep before makeup and always!

By Neives C-Perfect Skin Serum *, this is a great anti-aging and skin repairing product, plus smells amazing.

Hale & Hush Eye Mouse *, very moisturizing, great for day and night

Hale & Hush BROAD SPECTRUM SPF 30 *, the perfect face SPF

Milk Primer SPF 35 *, the perfect face SPF for under makeup

Spray Refresh Setting Mist from Super Goop, unfortunately its out of stock but I love this for spraying over makeup when you need an SPF boost.

Finally! I have the perfect eye makeup remover for you! Get this Azulene Eye Makeup Remover * from my shop. It is soothing and doesn't leave behind any oily residue like so many others do. Of course coconut oil is still a great remover, but when you want have a fresh canvas to work with this remover is perfection.

Castor Oil for lash and brow growth, just place a bit on your lash line and brow at night, that's it. You can buy it at a drug store or natural foods market. Very inexpensive and the best growth serum I know of. Look it up online and you will find so many great uses for castor oil from helping with an eye infection to doing castor oil packs for detoxing the liver.

Gua Sha Stones * for facial massage

B3 Rose Squalene *, for facial message

The Beauty Wand *, for when you are really ready to step up your at home skincare routine. And each purchase comes with a 20 minute zoom session with the to review how to use it.

The search for a perfect hand cream felt endless until these two:

This Goat Milk Hand Cream is perfection.

And the Weleda Skin Food Ultra Rich Cream is a go to when you need something a bit extra, good for everywhere head to toe and a industry favorite.

And for evening hand and body treatment I adore this Lavender CBD Topical Salve from the Sisters of the Valley, made by a group of cannabis farming nuns in Grass Valley.

Makeup

FACE

LUNE+ASTER RealGlow Skin Tint, my favorite hydrating lightweight foundation.

LUNE+ASTER RealGlow Primer, put this on your cheekbones under the above product and get that natural highlight glow.

Senna Cosmetics Barely Base Luminous Skin Tint with SPF 20, this product is perfection, the perfect balance of color and SPF in one!

Face Atelier Ultra Foundation Pro

Mineral Fusion Pressed Powder Foundation, I love this as an everyday product. You can use a little or build it for more coverage. Spray over it with a hydrating list to transform it to blend with your skin more like a traditional foundation.

Mineral Fusion Color Correcting Primer, this stuff is magic for erasing redness, the best green primer I have tried. Great under makeup or alone. I have turned so many clients onto this magical product!

The Mineral Fusion line often has sales in their online shop and is found at most WholeFoods stores.

Charlotte Tilbury First Love Blush is another all time favorite for myself and my kit, perfect for fair skin. But also check out all the colors.

Plus a few other primer suggestions:

Primer and SPF all in one! This a dream product! It plays so well under makeup. https://foxanddollshop.com/products/milk-primer-spf-35 Here is another one I love that has nice safe ingredients. https://frendsbeauty.com/collections/brands-beradiance/products/be-radiance-velvet-touch-primer And these - https://thebalm.com/searchq=face+primer&_pos=2&_psq=primer&_ss=e&_v=1.0

CONCEALER

Concealer gets in own category.

Mineral Fusion Concealer, it has skincare built in, and is creamy and blends easily. I love that it comes with two colors so you can mix them if needed.

The Balm Concealers, I truly love both formulas

YSL Touche Eclat has become a classic, perfect for brightening under the eye area but using very little coverage

Also the brand Tower 28 has a lovely concealer, creamy and is lovely under eyes

I also like the concealer from Lune + Aster

I also see some new under eye brightener products on the market but there are things I haven't tried yet, and look forward to experimenting with.

EYES

Esum Mascara * a favorite for myself and my pro kit!

BakeUp Beauty Tarantulash gives that inky really black lengthening fullness

A good eyeshadow primer is hard to find but luckily there are two that I like!

The Balm Eyeshadow Primer was a longtime favorite that was discontinued and just came back with a new name and new packaging.

And new to the market is the BakeupUp Beauty Triple Threat Primer

Shadows I recommend are many:

Viseart (the small ones I have stocked that I showed you)
