Take these three beauty items with you into 2020 ...
It's a common feeling to want to bring in a whole bunch of "NEW" into the new year. Most people are gung ho to renew, refresh, and reinvent, and often times this comes with the idea of tossing out the old and buying (or adopting) a bunch of new. Unreasonable? No. Cathartic? Absolutely.
This being a beauty blog, new year for me is about bringing in or trying a new look or style; tossing expired or dated makeup; and changing up my routine. It's fun, and exciting, and gives me a total sense of self-care.Bit whether you plan to start cracking down on a strict skincare routine, or revamping yourself out of a makeup rut, here are three beauty items to take with you into 2020 ...1. An effective skin serum : I swear by skin serums. I'm currently alternating between two (one for day and one for night) and the results are delightful. My skin has never behaved better. You may be tempted to bring in and try a new skincare system for 2020, but hang on to your serum - especially if you found one that really works for you. Whether you're about to embark on a seven-step regimen OR plan to Marie Kondo your routine into a simple three items, make sure your serum stays a part of it.Try : Drunk Elephant B-Hydra Intensive Hydration Serum, The Ordinary Buffet Serum2. A luminizing base : Nothing says a fresh new year of beauty than a base that reflects the same thing - freshness. If you're the type who hangs on to different formulations, be sure to keep a lightweight, luminizing base in your rotation. It could be a foundation, a BB cream, or a tinted moisturizer, but as long as it makes your skin look dewy and glowing - it's a keeper. Apply the lightest layer on the days you don't need much makeup, and dust a setting powder only where you need it most. It's a softer diffused look that always looks healthy.Try : Clinique Even Better Glow Foundation, Laura Mercier Tinted Moisturizer3. A feel-good lip colour : It can be red, fuchsia, or shimmery pink - the choice is yours. But a feel good lip colour, something that makes you feel like you're pulled together, is a MUST KEEP. Statement lip colour is a total look on its on and so much easier to achieve than any other look, e.g. liquid liner, a smokey eye, perfectly symmetrical and blended contour and highlight. Right? The trick : make sure the lips are prepped and primed before applying lip colour for the best finished look.Try : NARS Audacious Lipstick, MAC Lipstick, YSL The Slim LisptickWishing you all a prosperous and beautiful 2020, and a new decade's worth of growth and amazement!
