I received the Tata Harper face mask trio in December and have been using them regularly ever since. My favorite is the Purifying Mask. My skin has been very congested and this does wonders to clearing it. Be forewarned though, it has an extremely strong ginger scent, so definitely smell it before purchasing if you’re sensitive to scents. This mud mask is almost mousse like, with a nice cooling effect on the skin that tells me it’s working! I try to use it about once a week for 30 minutes. After this time, my skin is clearer and feels less oily. When I first started using this, I was experiencing more breakouts, and I definitely helping to prevent future breakouts. -

The powders are infused with oil-controlling bamboo extract, which brightens skin while also soaking up excess oil. Both the bronzer and blush are semi-matte with a slight shimmer, which makes them very natural looking. They are finely milled, making them incredibly smooth, almost buttery. The bronzer might be a little on the light side, especially once I get a bit more color from the sun. However, it is really buildable, so I am able to just add more to give me that sun-kissed glow. The blush is a highly pigmented beautiful universal pink that will work on most skin tones. -

I initially thought about getting the Naked palette based on all the hype around it, but instead got the Naked Basics palette. This palette is much better suited for me since the colors are all matte and can therefore be used for work. I like all the colors in the palette and often use it as my only travel palette since it’s so versatile. The colors all go really well together, and you can create a surprisingly large amount of looks with these 6 simple shadows. -

I originally bought this mask to help in the Boston winters, but I’m loving it just as much now that I'm back in California. It is extremely easy to use- simply add to clean skin, gently massage until absorbed, go to sleep and wake to a soft, dewy glow. It is lightweight, so it really does absorb into your skin which means it doesn’t get all over your sheets and pillows. However, it is a bit sticky, so I find using less helps with that. I’ve read reviews of people using this as a nighttime moisturizer, but I have been using it every other day and I really do wake up to plump skin. -

I have used the Microdermabrasion Scrub for a few years now and still love it! The fine scrubbing particles in the scrub were not harsh on my face yet still manage to leave my skin extremely soft and smooth. Not only that, but my complexion appears brighter and more even after use. The fresh lemon scent is really nice, and one of my favorite features of this scrub. The directions say to use 2 times per week, but since my skin isn’t sensitive, I’ve upped it to 3 times per week to keep my complexion smooth. This scrub will give you the same bright, even and smooth complexion you get from a spa facial, but without the hefty price-tag or inconvenience. -

When I first received the Stila One Step Bronze I wasn’t entirely sure if it was a good fit for me. I was afraid it would be too shimmery for all over use, but the shimmer is not obvious at all. Instead it brightens up my entire complexion and evens out my skin tone. Depending on how tan I am, I either use it alone or mixed in with my foundation. -
