6 July Empty Beauty Products

6 July Empty Beauty Products

Hello Pretty Ladies,

This week, I feel like I skipped a few days! August is just flying by. Over on Instagram, I did a fun collab with the girls who went on the Rhode Island Trip with me. It was a fun and a little silly recap from morning into night. If you didn’t see it, you should go check it out. I also shared a recap from Ben and me’s Gaylord Couples Trip on Instagram with an entire blog post with all the details. Read that here.

Let’s get to today’s topic. I tried and tested out beauty products. I like to call the “empties” products I tried out until emptied and tested to provide you with that honest review. Yesterday, I made a whole video on Instagram, discussing each product and giving my honest thoughts (maybe too real) on all six products. Head over to Instagram to view. I think you’ll like it and find it informative.

  Here on the blog, I am giving you the product, some ingredients, and the product links.

It’s been a while since I’ve shared on the blog what products I’ve been using lately and how I use them in Midlife as far as a Skincare Routine, from what I use for the day versus what I use at night and for a self-care day.

A weekly Self-care day for your skin is highly recommended:) It’s just a little extra attention your skin deserves. I tend to do this on Saturdays, but you can squeeze in an extra hour or two for some me time whenever it works in your schedule.

4 Elemis Beauty Products You Need To Try

4 Elemis Beauty Products You Need To Try

4 Elemis Beauty Products You Need to Try

Hello Pretty Ladies,

I hope you had a beautiful Valentine’s Day. We went out with the kids (adult kids) for an early dinner at one of our favorite Mexican food restaurants in Salt Lake. The Red Iguana, You may have heard of it as it’s been on Dinners, Drive in’s, and Dives. It’s none of those things. Instead, it has a cute atmosphere right next to the railroad. Which is why I believe it is one of the reasons it fits in that category. Anyway, it is delicious Mexican food, and this California girl loves Mexican food. 

Today, I am sharing a fun “new to me” brand, Elemis Skincare. I have heard so many great things about Elemis Skincare and have never had the opportunity to try this skincare line. Elemis reached out to me and asked if I would like to try 4 out of their top 10 products, and of course, I jumped at the chance.

I will report back to you in a couple of weeks and let you know my thoughts, and give a review on each product. 

A little bit about Elemis skincare

Founded in 1989, British skincare brand Elemis was one of the first pioneers of a holistic approach to beauty. The idea for this luxury line of skincare products came from entrepreneur and investor Linda Steiner. Linda’s goal was to create a line of products “as near to nature as possible” with “no expense spared.” She was soon joined by co-founders Noella Gabriel, Sean Harrington, and Oriele Frank, who helped turn Elemis into a sought-after brand now available in over 45 countries worldwide.

4 of the Top 10 Products

Elemis Pro-Collagen Cleansing Balm

  • A nourishing cleansing balm that is said to melt away makeup, daily pollutants, and impurities for a soft and glowing complexion
  • Elemis Cleansing Balm is the brand’s #1 best seller
  • Key ingredients include sweet almond oil, caprylic/capric triglyceride, elderberry seed oil, oat kernel oil, wheat germ oil, and shea butter
  • Contains fragrance
  •  

 

 Pro-Collagen Marine Cream

  • An anti-wrinkle moisturizer with a gel-cream texture that is said to improve hydration, leaving skin looking and feeling firmer and more radiant
  • Key ingredients include glycerin, synthetic emollients, wheat germ oil, shea butter, chlorella, Padina pavonica thallus extract, Acacia decurrens (mimosa) flower extract, and Rosa centifolia (rose) flower extract.
  • Contains fragrance
  •  

 

Elemis Superfood Facial Oil

  • A nourishing facial oil that is light, non-greasy, and easily absorbed
  • It is said to minimize the look of dullness and enhance skin radiance for a glowing complexion
  • Key ingredients include sweet almond oil, caprylic/capric triglyceride, meadowfoam seed oil, flaxseed oil, macadamia seed oil, and rice bran oil
  • Contains fragrance
  •  

 

Elemis Dynamic Resurfacing Facial Pads

  • Textured exfoliating facial pads help reduce the look of dark spots, pores, and uneven skin texture.
  • Key ingredients include lactococcus ferment lysate and lactic acid
  • Contains fragrance

These are the 6 things I love to stock up on as I use on a daily basis or wear them every fall and winter season. I love grabbing these staple items and can’t wait to grab them on Sale. 

I will share 2 more Nordstrom SALE posts one on Monday, July 11th, and the 3rd one on Wednesday, July 13th. 2nd post= Items I adore that I have picked up on prior sales and worn to death (Fashion staple items) and 3rd post=This year’s WISH list, that I actually grabbed today. 

If you haven’t tried the items below, I encourage you to do so. My go-to Nordstrom sale must-haves:

9 Night Time Beauty Routine Products I Use

 

 

  1. Colleen Rothschild Cleansing Balm

    = The comprehensive Radiant Cleansing Balm clears congested pores and removes impurities while dissolving all traces of makeup, leaving skin balanced, soft, and radiant.

 

 

2. Tula Self Care Sunday Mask=.

Hit the reset button with this deeply nourishing face mask that gives new life to even the most dehydrated, dull & distressed skin. Formulated with probiotic extracts, ceramides, lactic acid & superfoods like apple & prickly pear, this soothing mask hydrates to leave skin looking smooth, soft & more radiant. It can be massaged into the skin as a serum or left on as a nourishing overnight treatment.

 

 

3. Balancing Act Toning Pads=

Instantly lift impurities & help tighten the look of pores with this prebiotics & probiotic extract-packed biodegradable toner pads that help balance the skin’s natural pH after cleansing. Witch hazel helps tighten the look of pores while lactic acid & PHA purify without stripping skin—leaving it prepped & ready to absorb the product. Pads are featherweight & made of soft, biodegradable bamboo fibers, formulated without alcohol & infused with a refreshing wild mint leaf. Skincare is a balancing act & these powerful pH balancing pads help keep it all in check.

 

 

 

 

4. Colleen Rothschild Vit C Complex =   

Vitamin C Treatment Complex improves natural radiance and clarity while defending against environmental aggressors like pollution, stress, and sun damage.

 

 

5. Eye Cream

Eye Renewal= Refresh & firm the look of tired eyes. A potent & creamy yet lightweight formula powered by peptides, pink silk tree, sea algae & probiotic extracts helps to reduce the appearance of wrinkles & dark under-eye circles plus firm the look of the skin. A cooling metal applicator instantly soothes skin.

Revitalizing anti-Aging Eye cream=. The perfect do-it-all day & night eye cream. Powerful peptides reduce the appearance of wrinkles & improve the look of firmness & elasticity. Olive squalane & probiotic extracts hydrate & nourish the delicate skin around the eyes. Get ready to embrace your skin™ at any age—Ageless is the new anti-aging.™

 

 

 

6. Colleen Rothchild Hydrating mask

The Intense Hydrating Mask provides a boost of highly concentrated hydration to tight, dry, rough, or dehydrated skin. In addition, this treatment helps strengthen elasticity, leaving skin with youthful suppleness and radiance.

 

 

7. Revision Lip

Youthfull lips= Replenisher, a definitive solution for youthful lips. I use it nightly and love how my lips fill in the morning. No dry, flaky lips here! Helps with lip lines as well. 

 

 

8. Revision Neck cream

Nectifirm= For firming the appearance of the neck and decolletage! I use it every night and have seen improvements. 

 

 

9. Colleen Rothschild Hand Cream

The non-greasy Restorative Hand Cream soothes dry, chapped, cracked hands and leaves skin with a velvety-smooth finish. This is my go-to hand cream, and I give it as gifts! It’s a game-changer! BEST SELLER for me week after week.

This little spit fire is 23🤍 I can’t believe how f This little spit fire is 23🤍
I can’t believe how fast time has flown by 🤍

It’s been so fun watching him grow from a  little pistol into this young man🤍and amazing New daddy. 

His determination, and strong will, made him a great athlete, while his tender heart  and sensitivity & caring has made him kind to others. He’s loyal, has a strong work ethic and a joy for adventure. 

He’s our boy that would want to save every kitten and brought us home our beloved Binx and Little Miss…

The pickiest eater ever, until about the age of 12, and  He wouldn’t try a burger until age 13! (Thank goodness that’s all changed) 😉

So many memories , yet doesn’t seem like it could already be 23 years! 
Proud of the man and watching him become a daddy has been one of our biggest joys🤍🤍

Happy 23rd 🎂🎉Hampton Steel we couldn’t love you more🤍🤍🤍
