My ALL TIME favorite beauty products


We all know how hard it can be to find the perfect beauty products these days, there are so many options, some cheap, some not, some “all natural”, some that actually have good ingredients, some that work, some that are way over advertised. I have really tried to work on my skin care specifically this past year. I have switched out a lot of my generic target products for local products that don’t have a bunch of junk in it. Do I still buy elf brand eyebrow gel? Yes. But I try to follow the 80/20 rule. So here is a list of products that I fully stand behind, that I have used for a while now, and that I have actually seen results from. I have also listed where I get them at and if they are going to be at the Market on the Mississippi at MGV this weekend (May 3rd and 4th). They are in no specific order, but I did group them into brands, so read to the end! In full transparency, I also get no financial gain from this, so you know it's the real deal.


Simple in Nature- sold online, vendor shows, Market on Mississippi and at Bella Botanicals (+ more)


Lip Oil- I have insanely dry skip and get chapped lips often, this lip oil has completely changed that. It is so soft, is not sticky at all and lasts a long time. I have one beside my bed, one at work and one in my purse at all times. (hint pair it with Bella's lip balm and you will never have chapped lips again).


1924 Custom Soapery- sold online, vendor shows, Market on Mississippi and at Bella Botanicals (+ more)


Scalp Stimulating Oil- When all my hair started falling out PP, I was ready to try just about anything. I stumbled upon this product at a vendor event and thought I might as well give it a try. It stimulates hair growth and makes your hair stronger. I FELL IN LOVE. I will say this is the one thing I feel that has helped my hair grow back, do I have those crazy baby hairs now? Yes. But I am not balding anymore. I just put a few drops into my hand with my shampoo and mix it in. It smells amazing and actually works.


Lux Oil- My friend Tiff introduced me to this product. I was at her house one night and she literally rubbed my feet with it. LOL The next day I went and got some (Johnson's Livings in La Crescent had it too!) and have used it every day since. It makes your skin so soft, smells amazing and helps with dry skin. I used it religiously after I got burnt in Florida and I never itched or peeled! (hint mix it with your Bella Clay Mask!)

Pixie- sold at Target or Ulta


Eye Masks- As a mom who never sleeps these days, or for the last 3 years, I feel tired and look even more tired. One of the sweetest things Bevie has ever said to me was "mom your face looks really tired" (eye roll) These under eye masks are cold, actually stay on so you can get on with your morning while they are on and reduce puffiness and dark circles. Fav way to start my morning and wake me up!


Bella Botanicals- sold online, at vendor shows, Market on the Mississippi and their very own Day Spa in Onalaska (+ more)

Trio- I switched my skin care routine to Bella over a year ago and will never go to anything else. I have really dry skin, get cystic acne from time to time and had horrible uneven skin tone, not to mention rosacea. The face wash, moisturizer and toner have helped soo much. Plus there are actually good ingredients in it which makes me feel better too. I love the entire trio, but I have to give a special shout out to the toner. It smells and feels like heaven. I honestly spray it multiple times a day cause I just can't get enough. If you were to try ONLY ONE product on this whole list, please try the toner. I also use it for a makeup finishing spray, on Bevie, on sunburn, in the clay mask, honestly all the time.


Rose Clay Mask- the only face mask I will use anymore. I love it because you can mix it with something simple like water or you can jazz it up with the lux oil, honey, fruit acid gel and so much more. I *try* to do this at least once a week while I am in the bathtub. I have also let Bevie join in the fun for this one cause it is safe for kids.


Fruit Acid Gel- my go to when I have a zit. I put this on before bed and by morning it has brought everything to the surface to *carefully* pop or has reduced it completely. I used to have zits last up to a week, especially the cystic ones because they get so big and painful. Now, they are gone in 2-3 days and the pain is gone in 1. I also wear this on my whole face at least once a week to help keep my face looking fresh and healthy.


Pureology- I get from my hairdresser, but it is sold many places


21 Essentials Spray- this spray has really helped my flat hair come to life. I spray it on when it is damp and it styles so much better. It is also supposed to strengthen your hair and protect it from heat. It definitely gives me more volume and less static.


IL Makiage - sold online


Power Camo- This was part of an insta add that kept popping up and after a while I became click bait. It was for a 14 day free trial so I honestly thought I would be returning it. I ended up loving it. It is meant to be put on before your make up and is supposed to give you an even tone and surface. It's amazing. I am still in shock that it works, but my make up goes on soooo much smoother due to it. (I also have the foundation and love that too, but I have only been using it for a couple weeks and there are a few things I don't love about it, so I cannot fully stand behind that one yet)


MyChelle- sold online


Tinted Sunscreen- Leslie at Bella introduced me to this. It is a SPF (which you should wear daily to protect your skin) and has the perfect amount of tint for a light coverage. I wear this most days, as I typically do not wear a lot of makeup to work. It is definitely not a full coverage if you are looking for that, but I feel like it is enough to make me feel comfortable (+ I have awesome skin care that allows me to feel more comfortable going naked skin)


Elf - sold at Target, Ulta, etc


Eye Brow Gel- Okay I have tried like 100 eye brow gels. It took me forever to find one that gave a little color, lasted all day, but wasn't too dark and fake looking. Then I tried this one and have used it for over a year. It is cheap, comes in a lot of shakes and is easily applied with a wand. I feel like it stays on all day and keeps my eyebrows in place. I always say I never leave the house without doing my eyebrows!


Alrighty, there is it! My favorite beauty items. I hope to see many of you at the Market on the Mississippi on Friday! Make sure you get your VIP tickets to be able to shop early!
