Sometimes it’s good to be a little suspicious. Guess Who is free of the 6 suspicious ingredients? @drunkelephant Of course, who else could it be? 💝💝 As you begin shopping for skincare sets for the holiday season, check out this Night Kit at Sephora. It contains a full-size T.L.C. Framboos Glycolic Night Serum and mini sizes of the rest of the night regimen. - The packaging of this kit is one of the most exciting, colorful and creative I have ever seen. The message is clear with Drunk Elephant - they are transparent with their ingredients. 💚 Drunk Elephant says #besuspicious🐘 Drunk Elephant is committed to using ingredients that either directly benefit the skin’s health or support the integrity & effectiveness of their formulations. You won’t find what they call the “Suspicious 6” in their products (Essential Oils, Drying Alcohols, Silicones, Chemical Screens, Fragrance/Dyes and SLS). - Always be aware of what you put onto your skin, because it absorbs into your bloodstream. It's important to educate yourself, do your research, and make certain that the products you use are cruelty free and free of harmful ingredients. 🌿🌿🌿🌿 #theskinstudy #drunkelephant #drunkinlove #skincare #suspicious6 #beauty #sponsored #followme #follow4follow #followfriday #TLCFramboos #drunkinlove #crueltyfreeskin #skincareregimen #skincareroutine #skincarejunkie #acneproblems #acnetreatment #beautyblog #skincareblog #drunkelephantskincare #nontoxicskin #acleanbreak #iloveskincare #vlogger #beautyvlogger #skincarevlogger #beautyecologist (at Drunk Elephant Skin Care) https://www.instagram.com/p/BoFvOgtgZ9D/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=1ah7xjsogzie4

@bareminerals very graciously sent us the collection of their new, Mineralist Hydra Smoothing Lipstick ($20 each, available at multiple retailers). • • Per the brand, these creamy moisturizing lippies are made with minimal ingredients (just 19, which is 40% less than average), but offer max results. They are formulated with 76% naturally derived extracts, including sustainably sourced botanicals from around the world. • • As promised, we both felt there was excellent coverage in a single swipe and quite moisturizing. And although some of these colors appear quite bright, they were slightly muted when applied....in a good way. This is a very wearable collection! • • Each shade is inspired by the healing powers of natural minerals, crystals and gemstones (e.g. Balance, Focus, Integrity and Grace) and has a natural scent of Prickly Pear and Açaí (we found this very subtle). • • The colors family are absolutely lovely and include Blooming Pinks, Earthy Nudes, Fresh-Picked Reds, Juicy Berries and Sunset Corals. • • These lippies are cruelty, paraben, gluten, synthetic fragrance, PEG and talc FREE. They are also vegan. • • This collection was a lovely surprise and one that we are really enjoying. If you are seeking a wearable color that is moisturizing and comprised of more natural extracts, we highly recommend these. Excellent price point and wearability too! • • #theskinstudy #bareminerals #mineralisthydrasmoothinglipstick #lipstick #crueltyfreebeauty #veganbeauty #parabenfree #glutenfree #talcfree #cleanbeauty #mineralist #gifted (at Philadelphia, Pennsylvania) https://www.instagram.com/p/B83xRGEn0_7/?igshid=w6vrvvfm6mc7

Hilarie here! Although we have very different skin types, there are a few products that work beautifully for BOTH of us. Tarte Knockout (5oz, $39) is one of them. When Tarte released this acid, we were sent a bottle.....this is my third or fourth re-purchase?!?! Yep, it’s that good! If you love #p50 or #goodgenes give this a try. Super effective and at a great price point. Although we often test new acids, this is one that we both still ❤️ and come back to. • • • #theskinstudy #tartecosmetics #tarteskin #acid #skincare #tarteknockout #phillyblogger #beautybloggers #empties (at Philadelphia, Pennsylvania) https://www.instagram.com/p/B8loBHgHm1h/?igshid=1wbzztwmgc9vn

A perennial favorite for both of us. Fleurs d’Afrique by @africanbotanics is a gorgeous oil that works on both of our skin types. I (Hilarie) just brought this back into rotation as the final step in my #pmskincareroutine It’s a little luxury before bed 💫 This line is gorgeous all around and it’s hard to choose a favorite product. However, this oil is always near the top! Who else loves this oil or, is curious about it? • • #theskinstudy #afticanbotanics #fleurdafrique #faceoil #skincare #phillyblogger #beautybloggers (at Philadelphia/U.S.A) https://www.instagram.com/p/B8Y3ij1H0sX/?igshid=1qop81oh9013d

Hilarie here! There were a few makeup releases that I was super-excited about in 2020 (the other I will cover this weekend!). I like @maccosmetics a lot, but......most recent releases (recent meaning past few years) have NOT been exciting. Then, I saw the promos for their Loud and Clear collection. Included are lippies (both lipstick and glosses), eye shadows, blushes and two highlighters. The eye shadows and the Glow Play Blushes grabbed my attention immediately! I went to our local MAC yesterday and received a demo and a bit more information 👇🏻 • • • 🌸 the blushes have a creamy and bouncy texture. They can be worn sheer or built up. Best to apply with a flat brush (push it into the skin) or, with finger, then use a sponge to blend. These are the standout pieces in the collection (IMO). Colors remind me of spring! I bought No Shame (pink) and So Natural. These blushes are permanent (per our store) and retail for $30 🌺 eye shadows ($18) are very earth-toned and lovely. Best applied with a primer. I bought Back to Surreality and Omega. The later has been the most popular color in Asia. To me, it has a green shift. BTS appeared warmer in pan, but very neutral on my complexion. I do not have dupes first this and can wear them with several other shadows that I own. These, per our store, are LE. Tempted to buy a few more pieces (a lipstick and more blushes!). Thus collection is online, in-store and @nordstrom Not sure where else (yet). Did anyone else grab anything?! • • • #theskinstudy #maccosmetics #macglowplay #macglowplayblush #macloudandclear #spring2020 #phillyblogger #beautybloggers (at Philadelphia, Pennsylvania) https://www.instagram.com/p/B8RP3rDnsnk/?igshid=1600ask19kcbb

Hilarie here....from her sick bed 😷 I managed to catch some bug and just....taking it slow and easy today. As previous sick posts show, I still take care of my skin....in some ways, it helps me feel better. Here’s what I did this morning 💊 • • • 💊 I started with an old favorite: the Honey Potion mask by #farmacybeauty (remove in shower). This was a sample. I’ve gone through a full-size jar and several samples. 💊 very gentle cleanse with the beautiful and aromatic Cleansing Dew by #demamiel (totally forgot I had another bottle!) 💊 #debaucheryscrub by #primbotanicals My favorite body exfoliant and it’s perfect on a day like today. 💊out of the shower, slather on #kiehls 💊tone with #origins then put on #ceramide mask by #sallysbox (I have a zillion sheet masks that I am determined to work my way through). 💊#glossier for eye cream, then #tataharper for serum. 💊#bareminerals to seal it all in and of course #spf One of my all time favs by #drunkelephantskincare And even when I’m inside 99% of the day, I still protect my skin. • • • Now, onto more rest! 💊💊💊 #theskinstudy #skincareroutine #healthyskin #drunkinlove🐘 #originstribe #phillyblogger #beautybloggers #365skincare (at Philadelphia, Pennsylvania) https://www.instagram.com/p/B78uV3WH-99/?igshid=1045hh6d1c9qz

Hilarie here! My #beautylish #luckybag2020 arrived about an hour ago! Last year, I was able to get an XL bag, but this year, we both snagged the regular ones. 🍀 🍀 🍀 I admit that I love the surprise of these and even if some things are dupes or, products I cannot use, I find value in what I can use. 🍀 🍀 🍀 We’re going to see what Anna Marie receives in her bag, then look at swapping some items. I love my #soniagbrushes but I already have this brush! I also adore the quad by #charlottetilbury but...I already have it! 🙈 I am SUPER excited to try the #niacinamide toner by #goodmolecules and the mask by #farmacybeauty I’m always curious about new (to me) products and will see how the #coverfxdrops work for me. I may gift the #sugarpillcosmetics and brush wrap to my sister. We’ll see!! 🍀 🍀 🍀 I know not everyone loves their entire selection each year, but it’s fun to discover new products and discover some new loves! 🍀 🍀 🍀 #theskinstudy #fukubukuro #makeuphaul #phillyblogger #beautybloggers (at Philadelphia, Pennsylvania) https://www.instagram.com/p/B7l557xnHAt/?igshid=1722p1g1nuv5l

Hilarie here! I confess, I have a LOT of make-up! I collect it and I use it....daily. Playing with make-up and applying it calms me. As with skincare, I love a good routine. Looking back at 2019, I put a LOT of stuff on my face! But, there were some products that were used almost like a reflex. In most cases, these products were effortless and played well with others. In 2019, two new brands emerged that I fell really hard for: @roenbeauty and @victoriabeckhambeauty Amazing products and what I use almost daily. I realized that in 2019 two brands (that I already used a bit) began to work even better for me and thus, I started using daily: @chanel.beauty and @ctilburymakeup One of my 2020 goals is to highlight more #motd in our stories. Make-up is fun and should be a source of enjoyment. Hopefully, you’ll enjoy this and maybe find some new make-up loves! To kick it off, I’ll be posting a bit more detail in stories about my favorites pictured here. I’ll also share some combos that work well for me. #theskinstudy #chanelbeauty #welovecoco #roenbeauty #charlottetilbury #tomfordbeauty #colourpop #lauramercier #patmcgrathlabs #hourglasscosmetics #narsissist #victoriabeckhambeauty #diorbeauty #glossier #abh #makeup #makeuplover #beautybloggers #phillyblogger (at Philadelphia, Pennsylvania) https://www.instagram.com/p/B7byf8OnBJ3/?igshid=13lljrt2eaeix

Hilarie here! When the original Decadence palette released, I missed out. I was beyond excited to hear it was being re-released with packaging that is sort of.....amazing. I am not a Star Wars buff, but I appreciate the gorgeous detail of this collection. I was lucky to get all three palettes and they are joining my ever growing @patmcgrathreal collection! I’ll post swatches shortly. Anna Marie also has one shipping....hopefully hers arrives today too!! ✨ ✨ ✨ #theskinstudy #patmcgrath #pmglablove #patmcgrathmothership #patmcgrathdecadence #starwars #mothershipiv #makeup (at Philadelphia, Pennsylvania) https://www.instagram.com/p/B6tKf2NHEVr/?igshid=hfnttw7hnuwc

Hilarie here! A little more than a year ago, we attended the first #sephoria and received a rather large gift bag. In it, was the Scalp Revival Charcoal and Coconut Oil Micro-Exfoliating Shampoo by @briogeo (8 oz, $42). As someone with an oily scalp, I was excited to try this. I am a big fan of the scrub by @christopherobinparis and wanted to see how this would compare. I’ve been using this once a week for a month. Let’s talk consistency and application first. It is much thinner than the other scrub mentioned above, but it is not runny. It is very easy to dip my fingers in and scoop up some shampoo. I apply to wet hair and massage in. Then, I let it sit in my hair for about a minute (this is not part of the directions; I just like to do it!). I’m always a bit unsure if I’m applying enough because it does not lather or thicken once applied. I often add a bit more....I probably don’t need to, but I “feel” like it works best for my hair. It rinses clean, then I add conditioner. Now, the results and my thoughts.... On the day I use and the day after, my hair looks and feels great! My hair (I always air dry) has more body and feels silky. Big fan of this product! I don’t use many styling products, but I like this as an alternative to my regular shampoo and conditioner weekly. I think this can work well for multiple hair/scalp types. I would absolutely buy another. This product is #vegan #glutenfree and #crueltyfree PS: there are two sets currently on the @sephora sale tab. The set with the deep conditioner, contains a deluxe sample of this. I grabbed both sets 🤗🤗🤗🤗 #theskinstudy #briogeo #charcoalshampoo #scalptreatment #phillybloggers #beautybloggers #haircare (at Philadelphia, Pennsylvania) https://www.instagram.com/p/B6YL8XtHv2L/?igshid=12vsx7l7wmp7s

Hilarie here! I’ve been in testing mode with my #pmskincareroutine I have TWO, simple routines: one with #retinol and one without. Let’s start without: • • • 🌗 #dhccleansingoil stocked up during the last #21daysofbeauty at #ultabeauty 🌗#drdennisgross my favorite cleanser. Third big bottle (+ lots of sample sizes!). 🌗 #tarteskin #tarteknockout one of the best acids....period. 🌗#katesommerville #retinoleyecream I’m not someone who notices a big change with eye cream, but I’m really enjoying this one! 🌗 #drunkelephant #fbalm Anna Marie will be testing this soon, but I’m loving this on my off-retinol nights! I feel like my face has a protective (and hydrating!) shield around it! We’ll review this soon. • • • Now, every other night, I’m using the #a313 retinol. I’ll review this shortly, but I am loving it. The reasons why it’s every other night may surprise you....and I will reveal in the review. But on my retinol night, I double cleanse as usual, skip the acid, add eye cream and apply the retinol as my final step. Easy!! • • • #theskinstudy #skincareroutine #phillyblogger #beautybloggers #drunkinlove🐘 (at Philadelphia, Pennsylvania) https://www.instagram.com/p/B5-VW0PHYoA/?igshid=tgybb7htt19h
