Beauty and Skin Care Favorites - May 2025
I am back with another round of Beauty and Skin Care product favorites. I want to try and do these as often as I can, because I do get to try a lot of different items and of course I want you to know about them… if they are good!!! I get gifted items, but also purchase products myself that I am curious about and want to try. I hope that these lists that I share help you find new items to try if you are on the hunt for brands and things to possibly check out.
Here’s my list of May Beauty and Skin Care favorites…
Lip masks are something that I love, especially at night before I go to sleep. I also like to make sure my lips are moisturized while I do my makeup. This lip mask from Care - e- on has been amazing, and it not only great for overnight, but also during the day as a lip gloss. If you are looking for a way to stay hydrated this summer!! This is something to try out.
My go to Primer in the past few months has been the ELF power grip primer. I believe people have been saying that it is a dupe to the Milk Makeup primer. I don’t know personally, because I haven’t had the chance to try that one yet. I love that the ELF primer helps my makeup stick and stay put and it is also affordable!!
It’s no secret that I love a great moisturizer!! Curel has been a product line that has been sent to me quite a bit lately, and I have loved every product that I have tried so far. They have a great makeup oil remover that I use often and also a cream moisturizer that was amazing as well. Curel is a Japanese brand, and Asian skincare has personally been a fave of mine that has worked well on my skin. The deep moisture spray has been great for locking in moisture after I finish my skincare for the day. I think it would also be great for throughout your day when you maybe feel a bit dry. If you haven’t tried out the Curel line yet, I definitely recommend especially if you are looking for a great moisturizer.
Supplements are something that is part of my personal beauty ritual and I believe its something that helps the body both inside and out. I am always trying out supplements and researching different brands to see who they can help me in daily life. Adaptogens and functional mushrooms are things that I have been interested in, and have been finding ways to try them out and fit them in to my daily life. These gummies from Fungies are great for Focus, Energy, immunity and Digestion. I feel like since I have been taking them every day I have seen that they help me to get through what I need to do on a daily basis. I have really long days often and I always try my best to rely on more natural and healthy energy.
Another lip moisturizer that can be used as a lip mask, is the Glow Recipe plum plump hyaluronic gloss balm. I received this in an allure beauty box a couple of months ago and it has been one of my favorite balms in my personal stash that I go back to pretty much everyday. I will use the balm as a mask when I am not using the care - e - on lip mask. I have been switching them in and out. I had never used anything from glow recipe before and I was excited to be able to try out one of their products. I know it’s just a balm, but it is a great intro in my opinion into the brand.
Everyone knows Laneige for their lip care products, but did you know that they have sunscreen? I worked an event during Coachella weekend 1 and received a goody bag with some amazing products in it including this sunscreen. It is really hydrating and there is no white cast!!! Which is always great. It feels so good on the skin. If you are already a fan of the Laneige brand, then this is something else to try from them.
Pixi Beauty is another brand that I have been curious about, but have never tried until now. I received another gift bag with wellness and beauty products that I was excited to try including the pixi flawless beauty primer. This is a glowy primer that does have a bit of shimmer and shine to it, but it’s not greasy!! I have been using it as a highlight underneath my concealer or foundation (whatever I decide to use that day) and It gives the skin a nice natural inner glow. I think it’s going to be a beautiful primer for the summer time.
These are my picks for the month and I look forward to sharing more products that I am trying a long the way!!! Be on the lookout!!!
