Admiring these new beauties today. . New Zealand brand @girlundiscovered has some of the prettiest packaging out there, along with dreamy names and impressive ingredients. They have sustainable business practices, their thanaka bark is sourced directly from a single family in Myanmar. They are involved in every step of their ingredients, and fairly support their suppliers. The Stumbled Across Paradise mask is one of my favorite nourishing masks, and one of the very few physical exfoliating products I’ll use. The newly packaged mask contains their signature thanaka powder, which gently exfoliates as a fine grain, kanuka honey, soothing and healing, as well as coconut oil, to moisturize. If you’re sensitive to coconut oil I wouldn’t recommend, but if it doesn’t bother your skin this is a fantastic mask. The Stars Aligning Face elixir oil is packaged in this absolutely gorgeous faceted glass bottle. I’ve been having a blast photographing this because it’s so pretty and catches the light perfectly. This oil is a blend of almond, coconut, argan, raspberry, and camellia seed oils and is infused with calendula flowers and scented with bergamot. So far I’ve only tried this on the back of my hand and found it to be a medium weight oil with very little greasiness. This absorbed well and left my skin bright and moisturized. I’m excited to add this to my routine! . . . *pr gifted by the company. #newzealandskincare #indiebeauty #indieskincare #luxurybeauty #itgtopshelfie #intothegloss #vanities

A few favorite body products I’ve been using lately. . • @koparibeauty Coconut crush scrub is a brown sugar and finely ground coconut shell body scrub. This also contains coconut oil, Shea butter, and aloe to make it soothing and moisturizing as well. It smells just like you would imagine, like brown sugar and coconut. This leaves my skin smooth and soft, with zero irritation. I need to try out the coconut melt next, @devsday raves about using this at the end of a shower for perfectly moisturized skin. . • @chuckandsamorganics Skin Milk* with jasmine and rosewood. I can’t get enough of the fragrance of this, it smells just like a night blooming jasmine plant I used to have growing outside my bedroom window. The lotion itself has a bit of weight to it while still being rather light. It takes some massaging to get it to disappear, but it’s worth it. I find this to be a good summer weight lotion, perfect for my legs. . • @the_dirty_goat_ Bowie body lotion*. This is the moment I realized I actually really liked musk as a fragrance. There is something so dreamy and comforting in the scent of this lotion. Plus it’s so lightweight, it’s perfect right after a shower. I’ve been carefully rationing this so I don’t run out, but I’m close to the end and it may be time to just enjoy what I have left. . . . * pr gifted. #indieskincare #skincarediary #indiebeauty #koparibeauty #byrdiebeauty #bodycare #grownalchemist #abcommunity

In love with this little cutie from @ledewbeauty. . Le Dew recently released two serums, the Baby Smooth hyaluronic acid serum and the Citrus Sunshine vitamin C serum. They had a launch sale so I ordered both, though so far I’ve only used the Baby Smooth. This bottle is tiny but powerful. I was initially convinced I’d use this up in a few weeks but have found I only need a single drop of this for my entire face and neck. I’ve been using it for around three weeks now and am just at the halfway point. This is a 60% hyaluronic acid mixture that also includes MAP vitamin C (I’ve asked after the percentage on this and am waiting for an answer, I’ll update with that once I have it), oligopeptide, and tetrapeptide. The texture is a thick gel that still absorbs quickly, though there can be a bit of a sticky feeling at times. I’ve been using this each morning, layered with other serums. I always find hyaluronic acid to plump my skin, adding that level of hydration I need. This is a great little serum, doing everything I want it to do. My only issue with this is the size vs price, $24 for 20 ml. I only expect this to last me another 3 weeks, so the breakdown on this is $4 a week. That’s not bad, but there are other hyaluronic acid serums out there at a similar price point and a larger size. I’d be more willing to repurchase this if it was a 30ml bottle. So the product itself is lovely, the bottle is adorable, I’d just like to see this in a larger size. . . . #indiebeauty #indieskincare #skincarediary #itgtopshelfie #intothegloss

I’m well into my “no thank you to acids” week and it’s going pretty well. I certainly appreciate the benefits of a good chemical exfoliator, and I know that I’m going to be excited to use a good AHA mask this weekend, but I’m happy for the break. My skin is still looking smooth, bright, and healthy. Focusing on nourishing and soothing ingredients has its benefits too. Propolis, lactobacillus, niacinamide, and aloe all work together to plump and treat. . This mornings full routine in order: • @lather caviar lime AHA cleansing creme (yes AHA but I don’t feel like cleansers count) • @_skineditor hydrofil hydra-peptide skin mist. • @herbivorebotanicals rose hibiscus toner. • @iunik_official rose galactomyces synergy serum. • @isntree_official TW-real bifida ampoule. • @knoursknows double duty mist. • @sioris_official Time is Running out bi-phase must. • @ledewbeauty Baby Face hyaluronic acid serum. • @jullai_official Super 12 bounce Essence oil toner* • @iunik_official propolis moisture serum. • @goodsciencebeauty 001-pu purifying face cream*. This is too light for me as a moisturizer but works well as a serum. • @absorb_skincare the facial oil. • @bristolsussex balance facial lotion* • @makeprem defense me blue ray sun cream SPF 50+ PA+++ . . . . *pr gifted. #rasianbeauty #abcommunity #kbeauty #koreanskincare #indiebeauty #indieskincare #skincarediary #byrdiebeauty

I’m here for the pretty today. . I went to my first barre class in almost 3 months, now I’m ready for a nap. How’s your day going? . . #intothegloss #byrdiebeauty #itgtopshelfie #postitfortheaesthetic #vanities #skincarediary #luxurybeauty #welovecoco #byredo #caudalie #frenchskincare

Current desk situation on a rainy day. . I’m a bit obsessed with this mirrored shelf I picked up at @potterybarn. It looks gorgeous and gives me the best reflective light for photos. Everything looks so crisp and luxe. I’m tempted to get a few other pieces from the same line. . . . . *pr gifted @umoyabotanics @bristolsussex @girlundiscovered @bijoucandles @janeiredale @dulce_earth @commodity
