Time for my monthly beauty roundup of favorites! And I discovered a ton of new beauty products/brands that I've never tried before, thanks to the busy month of December. In today's post, I've got a special 30% discount code for one of my new favorite lipstick lines, an amazing recovery mask that provides instant results in 3 minutes (completely obsessed), the only nail polish remover I have been using since I was a kid, an acne-fighting serum, and a firming hydrogel eye mask that's not even out in stores yet. Continue reading to learn more about my December beauty favorites and also where you can shop the products.   

1. URBAN DECAY ALL NIGHTER LONG-LASTING MAKEUP SETTING SPRAY

Mist on this weightless spray to give your makeup serious staying power. The All Nighter Makeup Setting Spray by Urban Decay keeps makeup looking gorgeously just-applied for up to 16 hours - without melting, fading or settling into fine lines. Smoother-looking skin and vibrant makeup that lasts all day (or all night). I particularly use this spray with a more heavy-duty look such as vampy lips, smoky eyes and/or full coverage foundation.

2. GRANDE COSMETICS GRANDE PRIMER

A white pre-mascara primer that helps thicken and lengthen lashes. Grande Primer is a white pre-mascara lengthener and thickener that's infused with a lash-loving combination of no-flake microfibers, nutrients, and peptides that works to condition while you coat instantly increasing lash volume while improving lash appearance over time. It preps the lashes for mascara application and boosts its effects by instantly adding dramatic length, volume, and it curls while maintaining naturally soft, supple lashes. The unique molded brush is designed specifically for lash priming to ensure proper separation of the lashes, resulting in a flawless application.

3. FREEMAN BEAUTY INFUSION® FIRMING HYDROGEL EYE MASK

This next-generation serum-infused hydrogel eye mask instantly helps firm, hydrate, and diminish dark circles. The refreshing marine-scented hydrogel patches adhere to undereye contours to infuse skin with nutrient-rich Blue Marine Algae and youth-boosting Peptides. This fatigue-fighting, luxurious formula illuminates, de-puffs, and reawakens the bounce of delicate undereye skin. Perfect for all skin types!

4. YSL BEAUTY BLACK OPIUM BODY LOTION

My most recent favorite body lotion obsession. Awaken your skin with a jolt of Black Opium's signature notes of coffee and vanilla bean. The luxurious texture of the lotion instantly moisturizes the skin, leaving a subtle veil of sparkles that make the skin shimmer. Highly addictive. Seductively intoxicating.

5. DR BRANDT OXYGEN FACIAL

One of my most recent favorite recovery masks as of late, this luminizing mask helps lessen the look of fatigued skin. It works to provide tired, dull, lackluster skin with a revitalized, illuminated, and re-energized appearance. It also helps smooth the signs of fine lines. The potent formula was inspired by the most popular facial in Dr. Brandt’s practice and takes just three minutes for full effect.

6. RIMMEL LONDON MAGNIF'EYES SMOKE EDITION PALETTE 003

Find Cosmetics at Target.com! Contour your eyes with just one kit! This palette contains 12 different shades to customize your look from bare nude to ultra sultry. Contour your eyes with just one palette, love using it to get that perfect smoky eye! They also have a nude and blush palette which are also great for everyday, natural makeup.

7. ERBORIAN DOUBLE MOUSSE GENTLE CLEANSING FOAM

Part Korean, part French skincare, I've completely fallen madly in love with this brand. My favorite cleanser at the moment is their double mousse gentle cleansing foam. This foaming mousse cleanser is a two-in-one formula, helping to eliminate impurities and visibly refine the skin's texture for a flawlessly smooth and radiant look. Enriched with seven Korean herbs which help to soothe the skin, this rich formula is gentle enough for daily use. Travel-size friendly too.

8. LA ROCHE POSAY EFFACLAR SERUM

The Effaclar Serum, a pore minimizer, provides a powerful combination of highly concentrated ingredients to exfoliate skin and visibly smooth skin texture. LHA provides micro-exfoliation to help tighten enlarged large pores while refining skin's texture. AHA-Glycolic Complex helps smooth texture, even tone and boost skin radiance.

9. COLORESCIENCE® SUNFORGETTABLE LOOSE MINERAL POWDER BRUSH SPF 30 IN MEDIUM

Stay radiant every day without damaging your skin. Colorescience® Brush-On Sunscreen offers powerful SPF 30 UVA/UVB protection, alone or over makeup. Sheer, natural-looking coverage and SPF in one simple, on-the-go application.

10. REVISION® SKINCARE FIRMING NIGHT TREATMENT

This peptide-rich, age-defying cream provides intense short-- and long-term moisturization while you sleep. Contains two peptides that are clinically proven to reduce the look of fine lines and wrinkles. Includes Sodium Hyaluronate, which binds moisture to the skin. The cream also alleviates dryness with Shea Butter and a blend of botanical extracts. It completely rehydrates, replenishes and brightens dull, dry skin. Amazing night cream!

11. CUTEX STRENGTH SHIELD NAIL POLISH REMOVER

Promotes stronger nails. With hydrolyzed silk protein and vitamins E and B5, this nail polish remover is also infused with a lavender fragrance. Ingredients are known to strengthen, nourish and condition the health of your nails. This is the only nail polish remover I stand by since I've been painting my nails. Fun random fact: I DON'T do mani's or pedi's. EVER. People touching my hands or feet give me the tickles, but not in a good way... more like twitching rather than tickles. HA HA HA.

12. MADAM GLAM "LIAR" MATTE LIPSTICK

Cruelty-free and vegan, this long-wearing lipstick has a velvety, smooth finish with gorgeous texture. They have an assortment of colors, from matte to glossy finishes too. I particularly love this pink-hued one, called, "Liar". It's the perfect subtle pop of color for an everyday lipstick. Here is a special 30% off coupon code for you guys to use if you're curious about those lipsticks shades too. The coupon has no special conditions (no minimum order or anything else): Suzanne30. It can also be used in our Gels and Nail Art category. Go here and shop now!

Eve by Eve's Body Trio – Golden Age


THIS POST IS BROUGHT TO YOU BY EVE BY EVE'S, BUT ALL OPINIONS ARE MY OWN.

Happy Wednesday, guys! I've got so much upcoming content for you guys, I am beyond excited for the upcoming projects I'll be partaking in the next few weeks. One, I'll be shooting my very first commercial on Monday(!) I can't say anything more until the day of the shoot so stay tuned and follow the behind the scenes on my Insta-Stories! Two, I'll be shooting my very first cover for a fashion magazine and the theme is a concept I've been wanting to do for the longest time so you can imagine my enthusiasm about this! The issue won't be out until the fall but I can't wait! Lastly, I will be posting a new YouTube editorial video in light of Father's day approaching us, it will go live later this afternoon and I am thrilled to be creating videos for my audience again. The video is dedicated to my father, who unfortunately passed away nearly five years ago. Full blog post with the video included will also be live on the blog tomorrow, phew that's a lot in one paragraph! :)

Today's blog post is focused on a brand I've recently discovered. Eve’s Temptation was founded in 2001 by Eva Hsieh. Her philosophy that beauty starts on the inside and radiates on the outside, sparked the idea that there is no more intimate a garment that a woman can wear than her lingerie. While not always visible, great fitting lingerie has the power to instill confidence, giving a woman the power to shine. A true advocate for style with comfort, Eva believes that intimate apparel is the first layer of clothing and the perfect fit helps a woman feel her most confident. Over the years, our team has been dedicated to perfecting the fit process, implementing a 16-step fit process in designing a single lingerie garment. A combination of classic French designs with exquisite craftsmanship, we offer a versatile assortment of products ranging from bras, panties, sleep, and loungewear, to swim, shapewear sportswear and now, ready-to-wear. Eva’s passion for beauty from within also led to the creation of our beauty and skincare range. Their team has spent years traveling the globe, sourcing only the finest ingredients and choosing the most prestigious locations to bring a natural, organic and luxurious beauty collection. Like the Body Trio - Golden Age collection, for example. 

1. CHAMPAGNE RENEWAL SHOWER GEL

Rich in powerful antioxidants, it protects the skin from environmental damages and promotes collagen renewal. With its red vine leaf extract - it helps increase microcirculation, strengthen blood vessels, and promote collagen and elastin productions. The Champagne Renewal Shower Gel is formulated without Parabens and is perfect for all skin types. I love how the rich lather in the shower gel is and my skin was so plump and soft after use. I mean, who doesn't want to put champagne on their skin?! Is it as decadent as it sounds? You betcha! The gel has the most gorgeous shimmery tint to it as well, giving your skin that extra summer glow.

2. DETOXIFYING ANTI-CELLULITE BODY SERUM 

With key ingredients such as vectorized caffeine, green tea extract, Breton kelp extract and Gamma-PGA (Japanese soybeans) this anti-cellulite body serum provides lasting hydration, reaches fat accumulation, detoxifies and eliminates toxins while slimming, revitalizing and renewing, it reaches the heart of the cells to deliver long-lasting slimming action. The serum smells amazing along with its effectiveness.    

3. FIRMING ANTI-STRETCH MARK BODY LOTION 

With Tara gum & chicory extract, spirulina & Maritima Aster algae extract, firming oil blend and Gamma-PGA (Japanese Fermented Soybeans) this anti-stretch mark body lotion also provides lasting hydration, along with an increase in microcirculation and skin metabolism, and a strong firming action by stimulating collagen production. I love the firming oil blend due to its richness in vitamins and fatty acids, cranberry oil, sweet almond oil, grape seed oil and argan oil aids in conditioning the skin and preventing the formation of stretch marks. The fast absorption leaves my skin satin smooth with no oil residue. I strongly recommend applying the serum before the lotion to obtain its long-lasting effects.
