Beauty is a HUGE part of my life and as a beauty blogger! I have used and reviewed a lot of products throughout the years. So I decided it was time to create a list of My Holy Grail Beauty Products to share it with you! But not all of the products I have used will make the cut! In order for the products to make it on this list, they must meet these requirements. First, I have recommended them to someone, second I have purchased them many times. And lastly, I have used them for more than 3 years! Below is the coveted list, from a fab hair oil to the best bikini razors… scroll down to see my 5 star beauty products!
Holy Grail Beauty Products for Hair
Agave Hair Oil Treatment
Agave Hair Oil , comes from the agave plants which is the same plant used to make Tequila! Since it’s made from a plant, it’s not greasy or heavy like nut oils. It smooths, seals, and adds shine and it works well for all hair types. I first learned about this oil while working at Sephora back in 2015 and I have been using it since! Unfortunately, they don’t carry the line anymore but you can get it through amazon.
How to Use:
*Work a small amount through damp, towel dried hair
*Blow dry or air dry
*It can also be applied to dry hair to condition dry ends
Oscar Blandi Pronto Dry Shampoo
This is another holy grail hair product, which I started using while also working at Sephora. I have used other dry shampoos but never liked any of them. I felt like they didn’t leave my scalp feeling refreshed. Until I used Oscar Blandi Pronto Dry Shampoo. A small amount absorbs oil and removes product build up. Which is ideal for between washes or after a workout.
How To Use
*Squeeze out a quarter size amount of powder in your palms.
*Rub palms together to distribute the powder into both hands
*Massage the powder into the scalp, especially on the area that is most oily.
Simple Foaming Face Wash
Simple yet very effective, this foaming cleanser is ideal for all skin types. Especially for those with combination and oily skin. It has a blend of skin loving ingredients like Pro-Vitamin B5 to remove impurities and makeup. After I use this cleanser my skin feels clean, refreshed and balanced. It’s also great for sensitive skin because it doesn’t contain artificial fragrances or dyes. I found it while shopping at my local drugstore about 6 years ago. I have been using it ever since and my husband loves it too!
Pond’s Face Cream
This cream hydrates the skin and leaves it feeling soft and radiant. It’s a classic go to moisturizer, I use it when in between seasons or need a good face cream. I have been using this cream ever since I can remember because it’s also my mother’s go to moisturizer. For fun I googled Pond’s to see when it was created and didn’t expect it to be in the 1800’s! Formulated by a pharmacist in Utica NY who knew.
Dr.Dennis Gross Face Pads
These face pads are at home two-step face peel. The pads are pre-dosed with seven acids. Which include Glycolic Acid, Salicylic Acid and Lactic Acid. They work together to reduce the look of dullness, uneven texture, acne scars and pores. The peel is suitable for all skin types! I first used them while no surprise…working at Sephora! I remember a sales rep coming into the store and telling us about them. He demonstrated how to use the pads and did a demo on me, after 2 days, my skin was glowing!!
It’s best to apply it overnight, avoid sun exposure and use sunscreen!
How to use:
Step 1; Uses potent AHAs like mandelic acid and BHAs like salicylic acid to exfoliate skin, treat signs of advanced aging, and support natural cell renewal.
Step 2: Fueled with retinol and resveratrol for maximized anti-aging benefits and skin protection, stops acid activity to hydrate and smooth skin for a youthful complexion.
Holy Grail Makeup
CoverFx Foundations
These CoverFx foundations are my go to, all year round. They look so natural, provide full coverage and never cause my skin to breakout!.
The cream foundation is oil-free cream and provides full coverage. Packed with emollients for a moisturized feel! I use this foundation in the winter time, it’s best Normal, Dry, Combination.
The liquid foundation provides all-day waterproof, sweat-proof, transfer-proof coverage. It leaves a weightless matte finish. I use this foundation in the summertime, it’s best for Normal, Combination, Oily.
Grande Lash Mascara
This mascara is fabulous because it provides extreme length and volume while infusing your lashes with a lash-loving blend of peptides, panthenols, and natural waxes. It conditions the lashes while promoting healthier-looking, longer lashes over time. This mascara is water based, water resistant, and easily removable to prevent lash breakage. It’s my holy grail mascara because it stays on during a workout and doesn’t flake off. Yet, it easily comes off at night, which helps to prevent lash breakage. I got a sample size at a BeautyCon event I attended back in 2015 and I have been using it since then.
Kiss Wispy lashes
These faux lashes from Ardell are from super-soft fibers. The fibers have a criss-cross layering which adds volume while looking natural. I like that the band is thin and they fit on my lash line. I have been using Ardell lashes since I was 19, I have tired different styles but these are my go lashes!
Nad’s Wax Hair Removal
This hair removal kit that you can use at home, it’s gentle and suitable for all skin types and use it on the body and face. It comes with reusable cotton strips that are reusable. It’s a no-heat formula but whenever I use it, I like to warm it up in the microwave for at least 10 seconds. Doing that makes the wax a little more manageable and easier to apply. I I have used Nad’s since I first purchased it at age 15 and I have been using it since then!
Crest 3D Toothpaste
It feels funny to add a toothpaste on this list but people have asked me in the past how I keep my teeth white. Which is super flattering because they aren’t as white as when I used Crest White Strips. The whiting strips worked but left my teeth feeling sensitive. Once, I picked up this toothpaste, I haven’t used crest white strips and my teeth have remained white. I brush my teeth at least 3 times a day and always brush my teeth after I drink coffee or wine!
MAC Brush Cleaner
This brush cleanser is great for daily use on your brushes. It’s like magic how the shadow or foundation comes right off. It’s the best brush cleaner I have used. I have been using this brush cleanser for about 5 years now.
Bikini Razor
These mini razors are amazing for a silky smooth bikini line. They are only 5/8 inch wide for the delicate bikini area. It also has a moisture pad with aloe vera pad lubricates to help prevent irritation.Comfort-grip handle design provides excellent control and comfort.
