New Beauty Discoveries for the New Year.

Last week, I shared my favorite beauty buys of 2020. This week, I wanted to introduce a couple of beauty discoveries I have recently purchased for myself or are already in cart — sort of an early let’s-start-fresh-in-2021 gift to myself —

LUVSCRUB (SO MANY OF YOU ARE OBSESSED WITH THIS! CAN’T WAIT TO TRY)

VICHY VITAMIN C SERUM

YVES DURIF DETANGLING BRUSH (ON THE WAITLIST FOR THIS ITEM ACTUALLY…YES, THERE IS A WAITLIST FOR A DETANGLING BRUSH)

HOURGLASS AIRBRUSH CONCEALER

CHANTECAILLE BIO LIFTING MASK (GETTING A LOT OF BUZZ)

WESTMAN ATELIER HIGHLIGHT STICK AND BLUSH STICK

AMOPE FOOT FILE

COCOKIND EXFOLIATOR

I will report back on all of these items in future installments of my “Honest Reviews of Hyped Products” series.

Questions for you —

1 // Has anyone tried Biologique Recherche Lotion P50? I know this has enjoyed a cult following for a long time. I’m loathe to introduce anything new to my skincare regimen at the moment since I’m trying to work retinoids into the routine and I don’t want to contend with anything else, but still curious for the future Worth the hype?

2 // Has anyone tried the GloPRO derma roller? I’m generally wimpy in the face of any contraption or intense treatment (hats off to those of you who wear those intense LED masks!) and in fact have never had a facial in my life (!) but something about this micro-needling roller has, for some inexplicable reason, turned my head. Very intrigued!

And — who has a body wash she loves? I’m currently eying this scrub but open to suggestions.

Merci, comme toujours.

P.S. When a throwaway comment sparks deep introspection.

P.P.S. L’esprit de l’escalier.

P.P.P.S. I’m living for Helena stories these days.
