Winter VEGAN Beauty Essentials

Today I want to discuss an important topic that some disregard: Seasonal beauty – specifically Winter beauty.

Your skin and hair need different things during different times of the year, and during the winter is when you really need to step it up and hydrate, hydrate, hydrate!

On top of that, I’m sharing a few products that will fake the look of hydrated skin. On to the best of the best for WINTER:

Kérastase Elixir Ultime Nourishing Hair Oil: This is the best of the best in the world of hair oils. I could sing its praises all day! It’s not greasy so it doesn’t make you look like you haven’t showered in a week, it leaves a very subtle shine to the hair, and it smells absolutely divine. On top of that, it protects the hair from ultra cold temps and heat. LOVE!

Cover FX Custom Enhancer Drops: The Cover FX Enhancer Drops have a very good reputation, and for good reason. These drops have so many uses. My favorite is to mix with my foundation. Please note that if you have oily skin, you will look extra hydrated, to put it gently. But for us dry ladies, it adds an amazing glow to the skin. I use the color Moonlight, which is the perfect golden/silver for light to medium skin tones.

Too Faced Bronzer: I recently used up my Benefit Hoola Bronzer, and was so excited to use it up and get a cruelty free and vegan bronzer. Enter Too Faced Milk Chocolate Bronzer! It’s not orange, but it also isn’t too grayish where it’ll make you look dead. It adds the perfect amount of warmth to the skin if you have a light to medium complexion. Added bonus: it smells like CHOCOLATE because Too Faced uses natural Cocoa Powder to formulate their bronzers.

Vitaman C Serum: Vitamin C Serum has become an absolute essential in my skincare routine, and it is so, so important to use year-round. It hydrates your skin, but does so much more than that too. The biggest reason that I use a Vitamin C serum is because it protects against free radicals. Secondly, it encourages collagen production in your skin’s cells to fight aging. WIN! 

Laura Geller Baked Gelato Swirl Illuminator in Gilded Honey: After I have applied my foundation and Cover FX Enhancer Drops, I add this highlighter on the tops of my cheekbones to really strobe the shit out of my dry face. Gilded Honey has a gold tint to it, so it also warms up your complexion while it highlights.

Oribe Après Beach Wave and Shine Spray: After I’ve styled my hair and added my texturizing products and hair spray, I spray this shine spray on to achieve the look of bouncy, shiny hair. My hair is not naturally bouncy and shiny, but this baby does a damn good job at faking it!

Sanitas GlycoSolution 15%: This toner has become my holy grail toner year-round. It exfoliates the skin, removes dirt and oil after washing, and helps prevent inflammation. Perfect for getting rid of those winter flakes!

Inglot blush: During the winter months, I like to use a pink blush to add color to my skin, and because I gravitate towards cooler shades during the winter time. Summer is all about peachy blushes, but I really like to use pinks and mauves during the winter months. This one is very creamy, and doesn’t look scary-pink once applied!

Obagi Hydrate Facial Moisturizer: This moisturizer is my go-to for all seasons. I use it at night and in the morning after my serum and before applying sunscreen. It is simply the best for any skin type!

Ok, now I want to know what your winter beauty favorites are! Please share. =)

a few ways that getting dressed/fashion is spiritu a few ways that getting dressed/fashion is spiritual:

1. experimenting with what you wear can help you see yourself in a different way & provokes inspiration.
2. Getting dressed in the morning is a way to have fun by expressing your beautiful soul for everyone to see. 
3. when you feel confident in what you’re wearing, you FEEL good.

my style evolution: I used to wear a lot of black & shunned expressing my femininity with the clothes that I wore because I was following trends. NO MORE. now: give me all the feminine LEWKS and colors 🌈 

HBU?

During the first few months of my Z’s life, my body & soul felt burnt out. looking back, it was hard (and still is!) to prioritize just taking a few deep breaths each day. totally not trying to sound dramatic like so many Oprah IG captions 🤣 but it’s the truth.

during a meditation session recently, my intuition called out and invited me to reconnect with my feminine side. I realized I had abandoned much of this ‘side’. this is where the journey of activating my divine feminine energy began for me.  I’ll be sharing bits of my re-discovery here in hopes it will help you overcome the same and step in to your wholeness. 🤍

by wholeness, I mean not DOING IT ALL. being intentional & redefining the feminine experience. 

some of the words I have reclaimed include…

emotional, ease, wild, & healing 

do you have words to describe your feminine energy?
this foundation is so so good 💖 it’s like a f this foundation is so so good 💖 it’s like a filter in a bottle which is SAYING SOMETHING especially when it comes to clean beauty products. @saintcosmetics products are just as beautiful, luxurious & glam as they are clean and powerful ✨
one year ago ✨8 months pregnant & we’d just mo one year ago ✨8 months pregnant & we’d just moved from CA to AZ 🌵…& it was one of the best things we’ve ever done. 

reflecting back on the past year has put into perspective how critical taking the leap and moving to a new place has been for my personal growth and development, and if you’re thinking about moving, this is your sign to do it!

the change of environment has been SO beyond magical for many reasons…it’s taken me out of my comfort zone, given so many new and exciting experiences, and expanded social connections. 

🤍10/10 recommend, even when you’re super pregnant 😜

Even with other clean products, my scalp was not happy and it’s such a relief to find a product that WORKS that isn’t medicated or full of crap ingredients. so excited to share with y’all as I have always shared my scalp/hair journey and finally feel like my scalp is THRIVING 💖

this look is one of my faves as it doesn’t take much time and it shows off my natural hair texture. 

…the sea salt & texturizing spray from @beautybyearth is a game changer - it does exactly what the name says AND it’s a fab clean hair product 💖
