This week has been the longest decade of my life…lol. I sat down to write this post to talk about things I think you should get other people. Then I really thought about it and said to myself, “wait a minute, if I’m having this crazy kind of week, imagine what people who are doing distance learning while juggling multiple video conference calls for work all while trying to keep the home and themselves in order are feeling.”
Y’ALL, WE DESERVE!
So I partnered with Walmart who has been upping the ante on the beauty offerings to show you some makeup and skincare gifts to buy for the one who truly matters this season: YOU.
Olay Regenerist Retinol Moisturizer and Serum (3 PC Set)
Listen, retinol is magical—I’ve talked about it often here on the blog, on Instagram, and on my Youtube. But in a nutshell, retinol does some amazing things for the skin including reducing the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles, helping to even the skin tone, helping to fade dark spots, improving skin’s texture, and more.
This set is great because you get to pick between either the Olay Retinol24 moisturizer and serum or the new Olay Retinol24 Max moisturizer and serum. (Wanna know the difference between the two? Check out this quick 30 Second Beauty Lesson on my IG). AND in addition to that, you get a $15 Walmart e-gift card. Pass it along to someone else or keep it to buy more beauty. Choice is yours! Get it here.
L.A. Colors Long Live the Lash False Lash Gift Set, (7 pcs)
If I had a dollar for every time I heard over the years “I can’t put on lashes” from one of you guys, I’d have enough to buy like 100 of these sets…lol. Listen, practice makes perfect when it comes to applying lashes and if you never really try, then you will never really learn.
What I love about this set is that it’s not going to break the bank so you can get your practice on without feeling guilty. It includes lash glue and even a lash applicator so no excuses, boo.
L’Occitane Happy Hands Kit, (6 Ct)
Our hands have already been through the ringer this year, but with the winter months approaching, we might need to send out an S.O.S.
That’s why I think a hand cream kit like this is perfect. L’Occitane hand creams are world renown and I absolutely loooove the packaging. It’s easy to spot even in the biggest of bags, ensures that you can get every little drop of product out, and the hand creams just feel so luxurious and smell amazing.
The Lip Bar
The Lip Bar has landed at Walmart! This Black woman-owned vegan brand is a crowd favorite for a reason. Not only do they have bomb liquid lipsticks and glosses, but they have a wide array of makeup created specifically for the newbie or the beauty-in-a-hurry.
Yeah, we have to wear masks, but a little pick-me-up here and there can be great for boosting your mood. I know it helps with mine…lol.
Maybelline Lifter Gloss Lip Gloss
I recently got this in a package from Maybelline and when I tell you these are SOOOOO pretty! Makeup launches this year were a bit boring for me, but these have my attention.
You can wear them on their own OR apply them on top of your favorite lip colors. These instantly upgrade your lip color stash without you having to spend a ton or using up a ton of space in your vanity.
Bliss Drench & Quench Face Moisturizer
Have you explored the world of gel cream moisturizers? If you haven’t, you may have been missing out! Basically they have the ability to feel creamy and luxurious while hydrating the skin well, BUT they feel almost weightless. These are perfect if you have oily skin (because YES, oily skin needs moisturizer, too) because it will hydrate the skin without feeling heavy. There are formulas for dry skin as well or you can layer a thicker, more occlusive moisturizer on top of this.
