- Coastal Scents Revealed Palette (1): I’ve talked about this before, but I reached for it so much in December. This palette has exact dupes for almost every shade in the Naked 1 & 2 palettes! (It’s currently on sale!)
- “Vicks” Vapor Rub: WAIT! Don’t skip over this one thinking I had a massive cold. I didn’t. Instead, I had three MASSIVE cystic breakouts on my face at the beginning of December. If you suffer from cystic acne, you know there isn’t anything topical that touches those suckers. After a couple days, I was losing my mind and took to the internet. I read somewhere that vapor rub helps them. I figured, what did I have to lose? So I slept with it smeared over the cysts. And you know what? When I woke up, they were almost completely gone. Apparently it has to do with the fact that vapor rub has an anti-inflammatory in it!
- Suave Natural Infused Strengthening Light Leave In Cream: This is only a few bucks ($4.99) and performs just as well as the It’s A 10! Miracle leave in spray. I’ve repurchased this a couple times this year (it lasts a long time!) and realized I hadn’t ever shared it with y’all. I rub about a nickel sized amount between my hands and then into my damp hair after showering. It detangles, conditions and adds shine!
- Real Techniques Buffing Brush: I bought the core brush set a while ago and have been using the buffing brush ever since. It’s my favorite way to apply foundation. It blends foundation in beautifully and leaves a skin-like finish on any product!
- Suave Smoothing with Cocoa Butter & Shea: I keep this on my desk and use it often throughout the day! It’s a light finish but super moisturizing. It keeps my hands (and cuticles!) nicely hydrated without leaving a residue. I’m also a big fan of the scent.
- Vaseline Lip Balm: I am obsessed. OBSESSED. Now, these are the cutest little things I ever did see, but they are also super freaking hydrating. These are the only little guys that even begin to battle my super cracked lips in the wintertime. I keep one (Creme Brulee) on my nightstand, one (rose tint) in my office travel bag & one (original) in my wallet. If you like these, you should see this super stinking adorable little gift set!!
- Burt’s Bees Lemon Butter Cuticle Cream: This is nothing new. In fact, you’re probably tired of hearing about it. But you know I love this stuff and have repurchased it several times. I also got a hefty little stash for Xmas which I was pretty excited about. It’s the best cuticle cream out there in my opinion.
- Revlon Colorburst Matte Balm in Sultry: Yeah, the 90’s brownish lip is back in, and I’m happy about it. These little guy is a perfect dupe for the Bobbi Brown lipstick in Tawny Pink. While it seems “brownish” in the tube, it’s definitely a rosy/berry tinted brown. It’s perfect for every day and very comfortable on the lips!
the RT is one of my FAVES! love that brush.
I'm going to file away the vapor rub tip.
I really like Burt's Bees Beeswax (original) chapstick. That's what I've been using lately. I did just order a new lip balm that's supposed to be amazing, so we'll see…
Ok, now I'm going to have to try that eyeshadow palette! I've been wanting to get some new shadows, but didn't want to fork out the money for a Naked palette, so this is perfect. And I love my Real Techniques brush too. They are the best. Thanks for sharing girl!
Dying over that palette – such a great selection of eye shadows!! Also I need to try that vaseline lip balm!!! xo, Biana – BlovedBoston
That Real Techniques brush is no joke–that sucker rocks!
I've heard so many things about that eye shadow, but I really need to not buy any more eye shadow right now. Oops. 🙂
Also, I love the smell of Vick's…. I totally wouldn't mind rubbing it all over my face. Ha!
I've heard about that vicks tip before, so glad to know it works!
I've never heard that about Vick's. Genius!
I would love to try that eyeshadow palette. I use Vaseline lip therapy but it doesn't have a scent. I do like it a lot though. Thanks for sharing your favorites and I hope that you are having a good day so far!
Um that is too cool about the Vick's, I'll have to grab one to have on hand! I was just telling Karly that Suave is seriously amazing, I use and love so many of their products. I am trying to get through my current hair products then use up samples, then I will be stocking up on more of their stuff, including this leave in 🙂
So awesome to hear about the vapor rub! How cool!!! I've used that Suave lotion for a while and I agree…it keeps my hands moisturized. I see people using the Vaseline lip stuff and I'm intrigued. I should try it. Thanks for linking up, Joey!
Oh wow, I did not know that about Vick's! That eye shadow palette is gorgeous, and now you've got me wanting to try the Suave Leave-in cream!
Oh that palette! Ugh, if only it wasn't no spend January in our house! And that Suave lotion….love it! It's a fave of mine for dry hands.
That palette is sooo pretty and it does look a lot like the naked palettes! I don't know if I ever told you I finally found the mini rose tint! It's so cute!
I soooo want that CS palette but I already have the original Naked (the first palette I ever bought, years ago!) and can't decide if I should splurge. Although, can it really be considered a splurge when it's only twenty bucks? Hmm.
I ordered those rose tint Vaseline tubs at your recommendation and I am LOVING them! It's basically the only lip balm I've worn ever since I got them.
90's makeup <3
Obsessed with Real Technique brushes – they're the best and I honestly like them more than most of my expensive ones! The little Vaseline tube is so cute!
I find the rose tint lip balm a little too sticky. Maybe it's just me, but it has a weird consistency. The Suave lotion is one that I alternate with some others in my purse. I love it!
Haha I love the "wait" in red all caps. That's a great tip, though! And I love the little baby vaselines… I'm so over wintery dry skin and chapped lips!
That palette is so pretty!!! And so cool about Vick's! I need to go pick some up ASAP!
I am loving that brown is coming back and I must find that one! I am obsessed with the vaseline lip blams (rose is my jam, and I also have cream brulee!) and the cuticle cream rocks!
I wasn't finished! Rude!
Haven't tried those brushes but now I really want to!
I need that eyeshadow palatte! It looks like all the shades are awesome!

I'm pretty obsessed with that eye shadow palette. And because of you, I have an obsession with that cuticle cream! xo
The RT brushes are my favorite!! I use the expert face brush every day and just bought two more. Haha. And the vaseline lip balm is a must have in the winter for my crazy dry lips. I'd never heard about using vapo rub on cystic acne, but I'll definitely have to try it next time one pops up!
I will have to try the Vicks next time I have a break out! Never heard of that! I've been looking for a good hair treatment too so I'll be picking up some Suave! You can't beat that price!
