Jessica’s Picks…
The Ordinary Multi-Peptide Lash & Brow Serum
Who doesn’t love longer lashes? I’ve been loving this affordable lash and brow serum from The Ordinary. Admittedly, I’ve not been the most consistent with my usage, but even so, I’ve noticed that my lashes are getting longer and fuller since I started using this product in a really noticeable way. It’s a staple in my routine and I’m loving the effects!
This serum utilizes 11 active ingredients, including four peptide complexes and a series of natural extracts.
Alpha H Melting Moment Cleanser
This is a beautifully oil-balm cleanser that effectively cleanses the skin with barely any effort. As the name suggests, this melts away makeup, whilst smelling gorgeous and still gentle enough to use around the eye area without irritation. A pleasure on the senses to use… love!
Paula’s Choice Skin Perfecting 25% AHA + 2% BHA Exfoliant Peel
The Skin Perfecting 25% AHA + 2% BHA Exfoliant Peel is a wonder product! Every time I use it, my skin feels so noticeably smooth after using, it’s wonderful! Love the colour, this supercharged exfoliant works in 10 mins to leave you with glowing skin… love! It features a blend of five different alpha hydroxy acids: 8.4% glycolic, 7.1% lactic, 5% mandelic, 2% malic and 2.5% tartaric acid, along with a 2% amount of oil-soluble BHA (salicylic acid). INCREDIBLE.
Rare Beauty Soft Pinch Liquid Blush – 3 piece set
These liquid blushes from Rare Beauty and SO pigmented, but they blend into the skin beautifully. When used correctly, they can look effortlessly natural and last really well on the skin… been loving these and reaching for them pretty much every time I apply makeup.
This set is a great way to try a few different shades, but you can buy them individually too.
SKIN RG Zen Glycolic Peel 11% Solution
This is another supercharged product that brings the glow! It utilizes a high level of Glycolic Acid, which does tingle upon application but doesn’t feel irritating or leave any redness… just gets the job done to exfoliate the skin beautifully, leaving it soft and glow. Love the inclusion of Hyaluronic Acid too for that boost!
Hair
Amika blockade heat defense serum
As someone who uses a diffuser on my hair, I always want to use a heat protectant to keep my hair protected when I style. I’ve been loving the Amika Heat protection to keep my hair protected and also make it feel shiny and strong. It has a slippery, serum-like texture and doesn’t feel heavy or sticky. It’s great to protect your hair against the sun too – and it’s wonderful to smooth flyaway after styling.
Bouclème Super Hold Styler
This is a brilliant gel when you want that super strong hold… but don’t want your hair to be weighed down either! I sometimes find with stronger gels that it weighs down my curl pattern, but I very much feel like this helps to amplify my curls while keeping them locked into place.
It has a thicker consistency compared to the original. I love the cast this gel gives to really lock everything into place.
