OSEA

Totally new brand for me!  I’ve see Osea Malibu all over Instagram, so I was pretty eager to see what all of the buzz was about. I had the opportunity to try two of their star products:

Sea Vitamin Boost feels SO wonderful to spritz during the day and before your moisturizer/spf. Where does this nourishing toner get its pretty rosy color?  From the red wine & pomegranate extracts.  It’s designed to help sun-damaged and dry skin and to stimulate cell renewal.  Toners shouldn’t just give your serum/moisturizer a great slip, but should also nourish and hydrate the skin. I’ve been keeping it on my desk and spraying it throughout the day, happily.

Undaria Argan Oil comes in a rollerball and is absolutely BRILLIANT.  Finally I can carry my face oil with me! How often have you felt dry during the day or just wanted to look a little more hydrated and refreshen up your makeup but there’s no way you’d ever have brought a bottle of your face serum with you.  This pretty-smelling argan oil blend is so easy to carry around in your makeup bag and disperses just the right amount of oil. Undaria helps to plump up the skin, hydrate and gives you a glow. What’s in the blend? Undaria algae is “loaded with hydrating sea minerals that firm and tone, potent omega fatty acids to minimize redness and inflammation. Vitamins A, C, and E to help repair environmentally damaged, sensitive skin. Argan Oil revitalizes skin’s lipid barrier, locks in moisture and has been shown to prevent UVB-induced wrinkles and photo-aging.”  

ILIA

ILIA BEAUTY’S Tinted Lip Conditioner SPF 15 in Kokomo  I love anything Ilia, so when they came out with their SPF line, I was pretty intrigued.  I’ve been using Kokomo pretty much every single day since I received it.  These lip conditioners have an SPF of 15 and give a pretty sheer wash of color to the lips. You can definitely build on this one, if you wish.  I would definitely say that Kokomo is a mauvey, creamy sheer. These new lip conditioners are also loaded with antioxidants, too: Organic Avocado, Sesame, Cranberry, and Passionflower.  I would purchase this just for the color and the creaminess, but if you’re often out in the sun, playing sports, etc., this would be great…it will give you color without looking like you’re all done up.  DEAL:  Free shipping with $45 order at Follain and check out their up to 50% off sale, too! 

ILIA BEAUTY’S Cheek to Cheek Multi-Stick is beautiful.  If you haven’t tried these yet, you’ll love how buildable the color is. They can be used to be really, really sheer or load up on it for lots of pigment. This color is a a Sienna with a lot of deep orange in it.  I would think it would be great for warmer or cooler shades as you can wear it to look like you’ve been in the sun in the Summer and then warm up your skin for Fall makeup with it as it would look gorgeous with browns.  These feel moisturizing going on the skin, so there’s none of that dry, cakey feel.
