As a former employee at a “beauty” store, I fell in love with “lotions and potions.” I learned so much at that job, and I continue to do research on beauty products. These are my favorite finds on Amazon. A few of these products are ones that I have used for years. Go on and find yourself a new favorite.

LAWLESS Forget the Filler Lip Plumping Line Smoothing Tinted Balm
Generously hydrates for healthier-looking lips. Plumps and smooths for pillow-like softness. Adds light color. Supports collagen synthesis. Contains rosehip oil, shea butter, and jojoba seed oil. The different tints are shown above. My favorite is Whisper, followed by Sugarplum.

Organic Body Butter with Infused Olive Oil
Yes, this is made from tallow. So if you are a vegan, pass on this one. Tallow is rich in vitamins A,D,E,K and B1 as well as stearic and oleic fatty acids and saturated fat. This yields a balm that is nourishing to your skin, but also highly shelf stable! Hearth and Homestead is a small business out of Virginia. They source the tallow from local farms. This is wonderful to soothe dry hands and you only need a small amount. There are different scents available. Go check out this product and support a small business.

essence Bye Bye Panda Eyes Tubing Mascara
I worked at a very popular beauty supply store for a few years and essence brand was always my suggestion to customers that wanted an inexpensive mascara. I have used the Lash Princess waterproof formula for years. After the company I worked for stopped carrying the tubing mascara I typically bought, I was on the hunt for a replacement and I found it!
Unlike regular mascaras (which coat your lashes with pigment), tubing mascaras wrap each individual lash in water-resistant, tube-like enclosures. This means no smudging, flaking, or fading. Go to Amazon and check out the length this mascara will add to your lashes. These “tubes” slide off with warm water and some gentle pressure when you remove your makeup. Vegan & Cruelty Free. Free from gluten, silicones, parabens, oil, fragrance, & microplastic particles.

EXUVIANCE Triple Microdermabrasion Face Polish with Glycolic Acid
Exuviance is one of my favorite skin care lines. This will not be the only exuviance product you see here. I use this every 2-3 days and you only need a pea-sized amount to exfoliate your face. The glycolic acid and papaya enzyme help dissolve impurities that contribute to clogged pores. This leaves your face super smooth. If you have acne, please check with your dermatologist for skin care products.
