Glow Recipe Blur Drops

Glow Recipe Blur Drops Review

Glow Recipe Strawberry BHA Pore Smooth Blur Drops ($32 for 30ml / 1 fl. oz.) is a combination product that can either be used as a step in your skincare routine or as a primer under foundation. It has salicylic acid in it to help keep pores clear and micro fine powders to help keep shine at bay. I liked the idea of being able to incorporate salicylic acid into my skincare route where I’m not using it at the same time as other products with ingredients that would interfere with each other. My intent was to mainly use it as a primer and get the skincare benefits at the same time.

Kosas Dream Beam Sunscreen

Kosas Dream Beam Sunscreen Review

Kosas Dream Beam ($40 for 40 mL / 1.4 fl oz.) is a tinted mineral sunscreen with SPF40 that blends aspects of skincare and makeup. It has moisturizing ingredients and gives the skin a smooth and subtly glowy finish. Used as a foundation primer, it helps to smooth out the look of texture and pores and the subtle glow shows through foundation ever so slightly. It can also just be used by itself as your primary face sunscreen, leaving no white cast on the complexion thanks to the peachy tint.

Trader Joe's Rose Water Facial Toner, Rose Oil Ultra Moisturizing Hand Cream, and Rose Facial Oil

Haul: Trader Joe’s Rose Facial Oil, Rose Water Facial Toner, and Rose Oil Ultra Moisturizing Hand Cream

A few days ago, I found these new items at my local Trader Joe’s. I purchase their beauty products regularly and sometimes they release products only for a limited time, like their Pumpkin Body Butter which makes an appearance in the autumn months. I have no idea if any of these will be limited or permanent. I am hoping they keep them around for a while, though, because the ingredients generally seem to be good and the prices are fantastic.
