LIKE TO KNOW IT

Dewy skin and plump lips are always in, and I found two beauty products perfect for acheiving that look that are truly worth the hype.

Skincare meets makeup with the Glow Recipe Watermelon Glow Niacinamide Dew Drops. I like to use the lightweight serum all over my face before makeup and on the tops of my cheekbones after. It makes my skin feel and look plump and oh so dewy. Niacinamide reduces discoloration, dullness and pores, while hyaluronic acid maintains hydration to prevent signs of aging. I’m so happy with this purchase and highly recommend if you have dry skin and are constantly striving to achieve that lit-from-within glow! 

I still cannot get over how perfect the Maybelline Lifter Glosses are. The formula is comfortable and not too sticky, and it has hyaluronic acid to moisturize and plump the lips. They come in so many beautiful shades. I have ‘Amber’, a highly pigmented warm tan shade, and ‘Icy’, a sheer milky pale pink, but I want them all. I’m rarely impressed with drugstore packaging, but these are so aesthetic, which is always a plus. Despite being incredibly affordable, they feel so highend, and there is truly nothing I would change about them. I have told everyone I know about these and cannot recommend them enough.
