My Beauty Favorites — Week of January 4-10, 2015

This week, it has grown colder in Kansas City.  It really feels like winter now!  Since I have been staying inside, I have been trying various fun new products!

I have been loving a cleansing foam, an acne treatment, a flawless foundation, a breath drop and lip balm combo, and a cool new toothbrush:

Lumene’s Bright Touch Refreshing Cleansing Foam
Lumene’s Bright Touch Refreshing Cleansing Foam

Lumene’s Bright Touch Refreshing Cleansing Foam ($10.99 at CVS, 5.1 fl. oz.) — Hydrating and caring cleansing foam for gentle yet efficient cleansing of makeup and impurities. Leaves skin perfectly clean, soft and balanced. Detoxifying, unique arctic cloudberry nectar helps to boost your skin’s natural radiance.

What I think:  I am loving this gentle cleanser.  It foams nicely, but doesn’t dry out my skin at all.  It’s great to use day or night before my serums and lotions.  I also love how affordable it is.

Purchase at CVS stores and other mass market retailers

Kissamint
Kissamint

Kissamint ($19.50 USD each) — Conveniently packaged together for the first time ever, Kissamint combines a luxe conditioning gloss with breath freshening drops so you are ready for anything. Available in a sheer (Miss Independamint) or tinted lip gloss (Spearamint Ur Ex), lips stay hydrated and breath is fresh so you will never be caught unprepared again!

What I think:  I have never tried a product like this before, it is such an original idea!  I love the Miss Independamint, because the balm is sheer and the drops are peppermint.  The Spearamint Ur Ex would be great for going out.  The color is a sheer red and it would be nice to have the drops when you meet new people!
