I test out and experiment with new skincare products pretty regular throughout the year, but when it comes to makeup I realized I typically stick to what I have and just re-purchase. The past two months I’ve picked up a few great new products that I’ve found through other blogs, makeup experts at Nordstrom and Sephora or just browsing online and wanted to share my current favorites with y’all!
I’m a big believer that the hair products you use actually make a difference in the quality and appearance of your hair. I was hesitant to try this Living Proof version since it seemed pricey for a small bottle. After using it just once I could already tell a difference in how my hair felt. I have fine hair, but a lot of it, so it takes some serious mousse/shampoo/concoction to get volume that lasts. This helped tame any frizz, added volume and is made without any sulfates and parabens. Will definitely be re-purchasing.
You’re probably thinking body wash is body wash. I thought the same until I picked this up and started using it. I switch between a deep moisturizing one in the winter and this Fresh gel that smells amazing. It lingers on your body and is something so small that feels like such a luxury. This would be a great stocking stuffer!
My old eyeshadow primer ran out and I was ready to try something different. This MAC version offers subtle color and stays put until you use makeup remover at night. I love the way this brightens up the eyelid, goes on super smooth and acts as a neutral base at the same time. Plus, for only $21 I know this will last me much longer than the NARS and Urban Decay I previously had.
MAC Eye Shadow (All That Glitters)
While testing out the MAC Paint Pot, the saleslady and I started pulling some new eyeshadow options. Layer the paint pot above with this shadow and you have the perfect, easy, ‘no make up’ eye. I’m convinced this color would look good on anyone since it goes on lightly and adds just the right amount of color. I’ve also been wearing this shadow in ‘soft brown’ as the color in my arch and crease. I layer it on top of the All That Glitters.
85% of the time this is the nail polish that I have on. It’s my favorite neutral with a hint of pink. I was wearing this when Brian proposed and I’ll be wearing it again on our wedding day. Plus the name is adorable.
Next week I’m sharing my favorite new skincare products that’ve totally changed my skin for the better!

I am totally adding the fresh body wash to my next Sephora outing that sounds sound amazing. I love that about your nail color! I have been debating what color to go with and most likely I’m thinking just stay with a soft pink. I was wearing like a deep red/glittery Holiday color when we got in engaged that I painted on quickly in the bathroom before dinner because I was convinced it wasn’t the weekend so I didn’t get a proper mani before 😉
I’ve been wanting to try Living Proof. I’m trying to buy sulfate free/paraben free shampoo and body wash so glad to know that brand is! Is the Fresh body wash sulfate and paraben free?
I have both of those MAC eye shadows and I love them! I really need to try Living Proof. I have super thin/fine hair and I’ve heard that works wonders!

i love just about everything from Fresh! that body wash sounds amazing. xo jillian
great list! i use a painterly MAC paint pot for a primer and i love it. they last so long! and anything from fresh is the best ever if you ask moi. xo
I love the lemon scent of the Fresh shower gel. I need to check out that OPI color, I love a nice neutral pale pink.
Thank you for these fantastic recommendations! I’ve been on the lookout for that nail polish ever since I asked you about it in one of your style posts. 🙂 That shampoo also sounds pretty great – we have similar hair I believe, so I need any help I can get in the volume department!
That fresh shower gel sounds heavenly – I need to test it out for sure!! I love that OPI color, I wore that for my bridal shower 🙂 xo, Biana – BlovedBoston
Love that nail color, I wear neutrals like that most of the year too. That shower gel sounds amazing!!
I have that Mac eyeshadow in that color and it’s been my fave for years…Mac has the best eyeshadows
My hairdresser has been yelling at me to step up my shampoo game. Panteen is out. I’ll have to check out Living Proof. Thanks!
I’ve recently fallen in love with Fresh products, that one sounds amazing! I love my MAC paint pot, use it every day!
I’ve never heard of that shampoo or Fresh products, thanks for letting me know.
LOVE that OPI color.
YES, YES, YES to the Living Proof shampoo! After my hair from hell months-long episode, I can’t see using anything else. It amazes me how the conditioner is so weightless for fine hair, too!
i always love new recommendations! thanks for sharing!
The Living Proof shampoo and condition are amazing! I am so glad I splurged on those and now I want all of their other products! I have to pick up the Fresh body wash, because while I usually won’t spend on that, a great one cannot be beat! I totally agree on the Mac eye base. It’s my favorite and it costs less and does more!
Darn! I just bought some new shampoo today from Ulta and now I’m wishing I bought that Living Proof and tried something different. I did buy a shampoo that doesn’t have any sulfates so I’m interested to see if it helps keep my hair a little less oily!
I love living proof line! I swear by it!
