Amazon Beauty: Products I Order Again and Again

Y’all.

HOW IN THE WORLD DID WE GO THROUGH OUR DAILY LIVES BEFORE AMAZON WAS A THING?

How.

Like seriously.

HOW.

Self-admittedly, I rely on the site more than I should. But dang, it’s just SO EASY! So many things I order arrive the very next day. And let’s be real, it’s not unheard of for something to arrive on my doorstep THE SAME DAY. It’s crazy, but I love it. It really is a thrill when you see the item you ordered just that morning on your porch that afternoon.

Over the last several years, there are lots of favorite beauty products that I’ve started ordering from Amazon. Some I actually discovered on Amazon (like #3, #4, and #8), but other items I used to order from other retailers, and now I order them from Amazon because it’s easier. It’s always free shipping, and the items typically arrive super quickly.

These are items I love so much that I feel confident that I will order them over and over and over again and until the day I die. #thatkindagotdarkforaminute #butitstrue

My constant re-orders are what I’m highlighting in today’s collage…

1) NYX pore filler / 2) Maria Badescu drying lotion / 3) chin masks / 4) Lumi Glotion / 5) Biolage shampoo / 6) Lumify Eye Drops (bigger size HERE)/ 7) Laneige lip mask / 8) lip gloss (linger – berry mauve) / 9) elta MD sunscreen / 10) Kenra blow dry spray / 11) St. Tropez Self Tan Express

 

*****************

1) NYX pore filler / The NYX pore filler has been a game changer for me. I first found it when doing a sponsored beauty post with Macy’s like 5 years ago, and I immediately fell in love. I have large pores on my nose, and this products “fills” them and filters them for a much smoother look. So, I ordered the first time from Macy’s, but all subsequent times I’ve ordered on Amazon. If you struggle with pore size, order this product immediately! It’s like a filter for your face! I’ve seen others say it’s like spackle for your face, and you know what, they’re right. It’s always right around $15, but right now it’s just under $10!

 

2) Mario Badescu drying lotion / This Mario Badescu drying lotion is a product I was #influenced to try, and now I can’t live without it. The second I notice a blemish popping up, I dip a Q-tip in the bottle (don’t shake the bottle up – keep the pink liquid on the bottom), pick up some of the pink solution, and dab it on the blemish. Carter uses it too, and it works wonders! Seriously, if you or your teen struggle with a pimple popping up here or there, GRAB THIS. You’ll be so glad you have it when the time comes. It’s definitely a spot treatment and only a teeny tiny amount is required, but IT WORKS WONDERS.

 

3) chin masks / Several beauty influencers I follow have sworn by these masks for years, so I finally ordered them to try for myself after hearing about them so much from so many different people. They really do make a noticeable difference as they help to restore shape and definition to your jawline. The masks strap under your chin, cover your entire chin and the top portion of your neck, and hook over your ears. They are very cooling, and they seriously do tighten up your chin and neck skin with repeated use. #goodbyedoublechin #timetogetsnatched  When I do have time to do one of these masks in the morning, I also apply this Clarins de-puffing mask (I heard about it from the beauty blogger Kathleen Jennings) to my entire face. I love it when I can leave both on for like an hour and notice a measurable difference in tightness and firmness.

4) Lumi Glotion / This product was new to me last year, and I’m completely obsessed. Sometimes I use it like a tinted moisturizer and it’s all that I wear. Other times I just put in on top of a full face of makeup when I need to freshen up my look after a long day. Most often though I find myself mixing it with my foundation. It gives some nice color and a healthy and beautiful glow. I had my sister-in-law use it when we were at the ranch a couple of months ago, and she fell in love with it and ordered it immediately It has over 2o,000 5 Star Ratings and it’s UNDER $18, but right now it’s on sale. If ordered today, most of you can have it in your hands (and on your face!) by tomorrow. #gottaloveprime

5) Biolage shampoo / Y’all know I love all of the Colleen Rothschild hair products, except the shampoo. But I do love this Biolage shampoo. It’s a great value for the size, and it has over 15,000 5 Star Reviews. For those that have been around since I was Pinterest Told Me To, I used to use and love Redken All Soft, but I stopped being able to find it in the big bottles for a bit, so I switched to the Biolage. The Biolage is very hydrating, it smells great, and my hair is always so soft. The bottle is HUGE, so don’t let the $42 price tag deter you. This bottle will last you forever! In fact, I just checked my order history and the last time I ordered it was June of last year! (Obviously how often you wash your hair will impact how long the bottle will last. I typically wash mine every 2-3 days.) I still have probably another month or so before I have to re-order.

And if you need a conditioner recommendation, I absolutely swear by the Colleen Rothschild Quench and Shine Restorative Mask, but it was sold out for a while, so I had to find another option. I stumbled upon this Biolage HydraSource conditioning balm and it’s awesome. My hair is so soft, so shiny, and so manageable!!! I love this product. Go ahead and get the big size in the tub. You won’t regret it.

 

6) Lumify Eye Drops (bigger size HERE)/ I bought these eye drops for the very first time last year, and now I cannot imagine not having them. I use them on days when my eyes need a little help. (I don’t use them every day, just days when I have redness.) They take out the redness almost immediately and make my eyeballs SO WHITE, which makes such a difference in overall appearance. After using the drops, the whites of my eyes really pop! The reviews are absolutely outstanding. You should one thousand percent give them a try. They work better than any other eye drop I’ve ever used. Just look how white!

 

7) Laneige lip mask / This Laneige lip sleeping mask is a product that I absolutely swear by. I keep it on my nightstand and use it every single night. Like, I can’t go to sleep if I don’t have it on, and I travel with it too. I don’t really suffer from dry and flaky lips, but I do love going to bed at night with super moisturized lips and my goodness does this product deliver. For me, it just gives me extra silky and smooth lips. It has well over 22,000 5-star reviews, and I have several friends that swear by it as well. Carter does struggle with really dry lips, and he’s been using the Laneige lip mask every night and every morning. It helps his lips short term for sure, but I really want to try to get his lips in the kind of shape where he doesn’t have to always be applying a product. So I ordered this balm for him just yesterday. I’ve heard that the results are almost immediate and that they really help to repair the lips more long term, so I’ll keep you posted!

I walked around the house yesterday and picked up these little jars from different rooms. My favorite is the purple, then the pink, then the yellow.

 

8) lip gloss (linger – berry mauve) / I absolutely love this lip gloss. It’s soft on my lips and not sticky at all. And the “linger/berry mauve” color is so pretty. I realized when writing this post that I was out of it, so I ordered it again. I’ll show it on me on stories after it arrives.

 

9) elta MD sunscreen / I swear by both the elta MD tinted sunscreen and the EltaMD sunscreen (clear, without tint). When I first talked about it, I feel 90% of y’all were like “yes, it’s the absolute best there is.” I couldn’t believe the incredible feedback I received from y’all. It seems that y’all needed to be telling ME to.  #yalldroppedtheball

Well, instead of being mad at you (haha!), I’m just going to be happy that I am now using it myself. Click HERE if you want to get to the Facebook post to see what everybody else had to say about it.  It seems that not just my dermatologist recommends it, but everybody’s dermatologist does. Makeup goes on great over it, and it’s not oily or greasy.

Here are just some of the comments:

The best sunscreen by far! I’ve had multiple dermatologist tell me that’s what I have to use. I use the tinted one on my face everyday. Zinc oxide is very important to have in a sunscreen especially on the face. – Summer V.

I use it everyday and have for about 3 years now! Love it! Will never use anything else. Makeup goes on great over it! – Liz B.

I just starting using the Elta Glow and really like it too. Mix just a tiny bit of the Drunk Elephant drops you told me about and it works great! – Jill M.

Yes! I’ve used it for probably 10 years, my husband uses it too. I love the tinted and sport versions also! – Brooklyn D.

Best facial sunscreen, hands down! I’ve been using it for years and I absolutely love it. I actually use the tinted version, which is magic on my skin – almost has like a blurring effect and leaves me with a lovely dewy look. Amazing. – Laura L.

 

10) Kenra blow dry spray / Kenra blow dry spray was a product originally introduced to me by Amanda, my hair stylist. She sprayed it in my hair before starting to blow dry it, and I couldn’t get over how great it smelled. This was probably like 8 years ago now, and I’ve been using it ever since. It gives heat protection, it reduces drying time, it adds shine, AND DID I MENTION IT SMELLS AWESOME?

 

11) St. Tropez Self Tan Express / Okay, I’ve used lots of tanning products in my day and some of them have been terrible. Like really really bad. I’ve had and used this one from Amazon for years and still really like it, and these tanning drops are great for those that like adding a product to their everyday lotion routine, but my current favorite sunless tanner is this bronzing mousse. I love the texture of the mousse, and I really love that it goes on brown so I can see exactly where I’m applying it. Applying it with a mitt is essential, and you can grab a little set with a hand mitt and a back applicator mitt HERE. The color is a lovely bronzy brown, and it isn’t orange at all. Also, I love that if I miss a spot, I can tell almost immediately and can correct it!

 

A couple of more products I always re-order that I forgot about when making the collage:

CHI hairspray / I’m super picky about my hair spray. I of course want it to hold my hair, but I also want to still be able to run my fingers thru my hair. This hairspray does the trick!

Stridex pads / During football season, it looked for a hot minute like Carter was going to start developing acne on his chin. I immediately bought these Stridex pads, and he never had a break out! He uses them every night now to make sure he keeps any possible breakouts at bay.

Flower Beauty bronzer / I bought this bronzer in February of last year and immediately fell in love. And then I dropped it on the bathroom floor and broke it. It’s been sold out for a sweet forever (like over 6 months!), but I just saw that it’s back! Mine will be here by tomorrow!

MORE BEAUTY RELATED PRODUCTS THAT I LOVE

spinning beauty organizer / I think this is now like the 5th or 6th year in a row I’ve talked about this organizer, and to be honest, I don’t know how I ever functioned without it. You can adjust the shelf height for your personal needs, it spins all the way around, the products are super accessible, and it holds ALL THE THINGS! I highly recommend this baby.

 

hot rollers / I have lots of hair tools that I use and love (my Dyson hairdryer, Revlon dryer brush, curling iron, and rollers are all awesome). But if I had to choose only 1 of them to keep, I would definitely choose my Conair rollers. I get questions about my hair pretty frequently, and these rollers are definitely what give my hair the “bounce” that lots of y’all often ask me about.

I put 1 on the crown of my head, 1 on each side, and 2 in the back. PRO TIP: I don’t use the roller clips that come with it because they crease my hair. Instead, I use these (the purple ones are the perfect size).

 

This brush is also one of my favorite Amazon purchases EVER. It’s a Top 20 Amazon find for me for sure, and although it’s often sold out, IT IS AVAILABLE NOW! And most of you can have it by tomorrow! I know it’s a $35 brush (which of course seems pricey for a bush), but it’s worth EVERY DANG PENNY. I’m telling you, this brush is incredible.

I use it on my dry hair of course, but I also use it on my wet hair before I even get out of the shower. It gets tangles out gently, and there’s something about the handle that makes it ergonomic. I know it sounds silly, but it just fits perfectly in my hand.

Revlon drying brush / brush / hot rollers

 

The Revlon drying brush has over 400,000 5 STAR REVIEWS, y ‘all. I think that’s the most reviews I’ve ever seen on any product! FOUR HUNDRED THOUSAND. Actually, almost 500,000. This drying brush dries my hair quickly, gives it a little bounce and volume, and helps get my waves (that are only on the back of my head! annoying!) pulled out straight.

It’s sooo hard to get the bumpy ridges out of the back of my hair…AND DARE I SAY, THIS UNDER $50 TOOL MAKES IT EASY. Did you hear that? I SAID EASY. I know it’s pretty unbelievable, but it’s true. I try to let my hair air dry as much as possible before using it.

The only complaint I have is that it gets realllllllllllly hot, so I most often use it on low (and sometimes use it on medium). I NEVER use it on hot.

Revlon drying brush

 

My toiletry bag is one of my very favorite items. I have the LARGE, it holds SO MUCH STUFF, and I love how you can hang it up and everything is so easily accessible. It has over 50,000 ratings and almost every one of them is 5 STAR. Depending on where you live, it could be at your house by this afternoon.

And this is what it looks like all folded up and zipped up. Again, mine is the large.

STUFF bag / I first talked about this at the beginning of December 2022 and highlighted it as a Santa Alert, knowing it would make an excellent Christmas gift. Y’all agreed and bought it up. It’s super cute, has great ratings, and of course is an awesome and less expensive option to Stoney Clover bags. It’s still a favorite for me.
