I carry a ton of tension in my face so when I’m feeling stressed I roll it out with my rose quartz roller and immediately feel more relaxed!

My husband got this for a couple years ago and it’s one of my favorite things! This is my absolute favorite hand cream and I also love that L’Occitane employs women in Africa to give them a fair wage and a way to support their family.

This Caudalie Instant Detox Mask is my guilty pleasure. It’s a plant-based purifying clay mask that cleanses and tightens your pores! This mask has a light texture that feels so good.

Honestly I don’t think you can go wrong with any Artis brush but I personally own their foundation brush. I love using this brush and I feel like it allows me to use less foundation since it helps cover my face so well! It’s a splurge but that’s what Christmas is for!

  1. I sometimes feel like I must be the only person in the world that can’t stand Oribe – that smell gives me gnarly migraines and the products usually just make my hair feel greasy. I’m glad it works for other people though.

    That face tension! I feel you – I think a jade roller should definitely be on my list this year!

    Reply
    • Haha! I think you’re the first person that I’ve heard hates it! Too each their own! 🙂 The jade roller has been a life saver for my face tensions though – seriously!!
