I have a batch of new favorites from Paula's Choice. These have been purchased in the past couple of months so I've had time to try them out.
First item I want to talk about is my new holy grail skin product. It is the Paula's Choice RESIST Weekly Retexturizing Foaming Treatment 4% BHA. This is designed to be a once a week treatment to improve, texture, redness, breakouts, blackheads and enlarged pores to name a few. I was super excited to try it out when it arrived and that night I eagerly cleansed my skin and prepared to use this for the first time. The product in the bottle is liquid. But when you pump it out it becomes a foam. One pump is recommended for the entire face and you should avoid the eye and lip area. I smoothed one pump over my skin and worked it in gently. It adsorbed quickly and I followed with my regular routine. In the morning when I woke up I looked in the mirror and was shocked that with one use I could see and feel a difference. I have rosacea and my redness was very minor. My skin felt super soft and noticeably smoother; some small bumps I had the day before were gone. I've been using once to twice a week ever since I've received it. It's made a huge difference in breakouts, smoothness and improving redness from rosacea. I absolutely love this product and cannot rave about it enough. I fully recommend giving it a try!
The second item I want to talk about is also a skin care item. It is the RESIST C15 Super Booster. It is a concentrated vitamin C that you can use to mix in with your serum to give it a boost! It helps to fade brown spots, improve collagen production and help improve the look of wrinkles. I use it by mixing it with my RESIST Retinol Serum. You can also mix it with your moisturizer or use it alone. I feel it gives me skin a nice glow that it never had before. I've definitely noticed it boosting my serum and keeping my skin smooth and tight.
Now for some makeup!
First makeup item I want to talk about is the new Paula's Choice MegaLength Lash-Extending Mascara. This is my new holy grail mascara. I absolutely love this mascara. I love the formula, the brush, the wear everything! Lets start with the brush. It is a skinny brush (but not to skinny) with bristles that wrap around the brush in a spiral pattern. It allows me to get super close to the base of my lashes and really catch every single lash as I sweep up. I usually do two coats and the brush is great for keeping the lashes separated and preventing clumps. The mascara formula is a dryer formula. It's not super wet. Which I actually quite like because it prevents transfer when I blink. I always get transfer from other mascaras as soon as I apply them and have to try and not to blink so I don't get little black marks on the skin. And for $12 you can't beat the price. My lashes look super long and really open up my eyes.
Second makeup item is the new Paula's Choice Sunkissed Custom Color Bronzer. It's a huge disc with a split pan and one light shade and one dark shade of bronzer. You can then customize the application by using either one or the other or mixing for your prefect shade. I love this bronzer. It does not look muddy and I like that I can use different shades. I use the darker one for contouring my cheeks and the lighter one for bronzing around the perimeter of my face. I also love that this bronzer is matte so it's great for using everyday.
And my final makeup item is the Paulas's Choice The Nude Mattes Eyeshadow Palette. This is a great neutral palette for everyday where. It has 12 eyeshadows, they are all matte except for 1. The shade Pink Sugar. This color is a soft pink with a soft satin finish. I love this shade! I like to apply this to my entire lid and inner corners and just gives such a beautiful eyeopening effect! I also like the shade Cafe Au Lait, I think it's the perfect crease blending color. I also like to use the color Onyx and use it as an eye liner with a damp angled brush. These shadows are nice and soft with a nice pigmentation. They build and blend up nicely. I'm really loving it! I've not used any other palette since I received this one.
I hope you enjoyed these reviews and if you have any questions please feel free to ask!
