BEAUTY: 6 Eye Creams

Hi again! Kelsey from Kelsey Nicole here. Soon after I turned 26 in May, I decided to it was time to bump up my skincare routine, get serious about my skin and use products that will help retain moisture and also delay wrinkles and other forms of aging. I don't necessarily have wrinkles (yet) but I do have some fine lines around my eyes. One of the absolute best ways to preserve youthful skin is by using eye cream. Here are a few options that I have either tried myself and loved or have heard positive reviews on:

Restorsea Revitalizing Eye Cream | One Love Organics Active Moisture Eye Balm | Somme Institute Eye | Bobbi Brown Extra Eye Repair Cream | Philosophy Miracle Worker Retinoid Eye Cream | Clinique All About Eyes

BEAUTY: SUMMER BEAUTY STAPLES

Hi MadeByGirl readers! Kelsey from Kelsey Nicole here. Today I am here to share with you six beauty products that I have been loving this summer. Let's get to it!

 Garnier Miracle Skin Perfector BB Cream
Due to the high heat, and sometimes often high humidity, I try to keep my makeup light in the summer. This BB cream is perfect for days when you want minimal coverage but don't want to wear foundation.

Essie "Big Spender"
Confession: I am a fan of this Essie shade year-round, but especially in the summertime. It looks great with a variety of skin tones and especially great with tan skin.

Josie Maran 100% Pure Argan Oil Light
The lighter version of Josie's Argan Oil is perfect for daytime wear. I know it is strange to put oil on your face in the morning, but trust me on this one. It absorbs quickly and does not leave an oil finish.

Benefit They're Real! Mascara
Everyone knows this mascara is great. What I didn't know was how great this mascara is at staying on in the water. While it is not waterproof, it surprisingly stays put at the pool or at the beach.

Bumble and Bumble Straight Blow Dry
My hair is naturally curly so it can get quite frizzy when I straighten it on humid days. This serum works wonders and keeps my hair straight through damp weather.

Fresh Sugar Shine Lip Treatment
I love Fresh's Sugar Lip Treatment, so when they came out with the Shine Lip Treatment, I knew I was going to love it as well. I was right and after one try, this gloss became a staple in my beauty routine.


What were some of your favorite beauty products this summer?
