5 Finds // March

If you guys remember my five finds from January, that was the first edition of a series of curated products that I’m really excited about. I go through so many products every single day that it’s hard because it feels like a lot of things are my new favorites. Of course, there will be items that are so new and innovative that I instantly get hooked, but there are also going to be brands that push out consistently amazing products that I keep going back to. Because I go through so many new products that I want to share with you all every day, it almost feels like an overload of information. But know that I always test these products so I’m always giving you guys an accurate review. So here are the latest finds that I discovered this month!

1. Red Carpet Paris Insoles
I feel like I mostly wore flats last year. But now that I’m starting to go out to events again, I’m starting to break out the heels (especially because of fashion week). The one thing that really helps me feel comfortable in heels is wearing insoles. Usually, for these events I walk around for hours in 3+ inch heels and for someone who hasn’t worn heels in a while, that can get really tough! I love that these insoles are leather because they provide a longer lasting comfort. They also slip right into my heels and fit perfectly. Red Carpet Paris not only uses orthopedic materials for maximum comfort, but the design feels very luxurious.

2. Deborah Lippmann Gel Lab Pro

A healthy alternative to gel colors!

Deborah Lippmann is a brand that I always come back to for quality nail polish. Last year I did a story on fall nail colors, which were earthy toned. This spring, Deborah has come out with not only fun and feminine colors, but she also released a collection of polishes that are a healthy alternative to gel polish. I like getting my nails done (if I can make the time!) but getting gels always ruin my nails. They become dry and brittle and break easily. Beauty doesn’t have to be unhealthy! These polishes are great for healthy and shiny nails with great color! They’ve got green tea extract and biotin built into the formula for nail health but also silk powder and epoxy resin for long wear and salon looking shine! The best part is that they come off with just nail polish remover!

3. Oribe Hair Styling Sprays
I absolutely love Oribe hair products. Because my hair is so thick, it’s hard to find a product that my hair responds to. The Oribe hair styling products work wonders. I’ve been a long time user of this texturing spray and shine spray. The Dry Finishing Spray keeps my hair voluminous and full of life, even between washes. And the Wave and Shine spray add just the right amount of texture! I also love that they’re available in ‘purse sizes’ so I can take them anywhere!

4. Bite Beauty Lipsticks
I love how sleek these matte gray lipstick bullets look. For this spring, I’ve been leaning toward more of a vampy look. I love how sultry and sexy it is. Usually, the dark burgundy colors are reserved for fall, but I’ve been using this lip into winter and now spring because I love how it instantly adds a sexy element. Spring to me has always been about the pink lip, which I’ll never get tired of, but having a good dark lip, like this one called Liquorice – Oxblood, that I can always rely on. The long lasting formula and creamy texture of these Bite Beauty lipsticks is amazing and I always find myself reaching for them!

5. Stila Correct & Perfect Color Correcting Palette
Having an even skin tone naturally is not the easiest thing in the world, so I’m so happy that Stila came out with a palette to help correct and perfect! With different pigments to solve different problems, it just got so easy to have a perfect complexion. As you guys know, I have very dark under eye circles, so using the peach cream neutralizes that so my foundation and concealer go on perfectly! The green cream is also great to neutralize redness! It’s like a perfect skin cheat sheet! I use these super adorable mini beauty blenders to apply the creams and blend them in. I love that they come in different colors, which is perfect for color correction!
