It has been a long time since I’ve done a five things I’m loving post but after talking about my favourite beauty discoveries of the last year I couldn’t help but talk about some newer products that have impressed me recently as well as one old rediscovery!
First up, the ZIIP HALO 2.0 Nanocurrent™and Microcurrent Facial Toning Device RRP $539.99 CAD | $399.99 USD | £379.99*. I feel like I will do a full blog post on this later in the year once I have used for longer but I had to include it now as I’ve been so consistent this month! I can’t compare it to the original but I am impressed with the 2.0 version! It comes with 3 types of microcurrent gels and an app that you can sync your device to and choose which guided facial you want. Options include anything from a 12 minute “Everything Facial” to a 1 minute “Heal”. Most regularly I have been doing the 6 minute “Instant Face Lift”, 4 minute “Clear Skin” and 2 minute “Lips”. Routines use either Microcurrent, ZIIP Nanocurrent™ or both and works to re-energize skin cells, boost collagen, improve elasticity, and restore natural glow for visible results. My skin looks instantly lifted and plump when I do the Instant Face Lift and I can’t get over the difference in my lips after doing the lips treatment! They are so much more defined and plump! The clear skin treatment is one I’m paying a lot of attention to at the minute aswell - i've used it every other day this week and I am already seeing a marked reduction and healing in spots I get regularly on my jaw line! Very impressed so far and you can use my code DANIELLEBEAUTY for 10% off on thier website! Full in depth review to come!
The Jones Road Miracle Balm in Flushed RRP $49 CAD | £36 | $38 USD* has been my go to throughout the colder weather in January. Flushed is a cool pink shade with a subtle sheen and sheer to buildable coverage that works for all skin tones. The balm is light-reflecting and gives your skin a fresh, healthy glow. The texture is so interesting and unlike anything else I have in my collection. It doesn’t fully set and has a little bit of tack to it so it’s my go to on days that dip below -10°C in particular as I walk to work. For me, as well as looking good, it gives my cheeks a little extra protection as Alberta is so cold and dry! I don’t love the feel of Aquaphor on my cheeks if I’m going to be outside for too long so this works for me instead! It comes in a very weighty screw compact with a huge 50g of product and you need to “break the seal” of the balm on first use to warm up the product and release the pigment. I have been using this over my foundation with the Jones Road Everything Brush - a dense, wide and flat brush that gives controlled, even coverage. It’s very easy to build the pigment up and I have been super impressed with the wear time on this considering it doesn’t fully dry down. I haven’t noticed it fading or transferring throughout the day either and it gives a lovely sheen to my skin and doesn’t look greasy! It contains jojoba seed oil which is rich in fatty acids, vitamins, and minerals so this conditions, moisturises, and softens skin for a smooth complexion. It also contains Vitamin E known for its antioxidant properties. The brand actually sent me two of the same shade so I gave one to a friend I used to work with and she said this – “first impressions are I need this product in my life! Not what I expected and not as tacky as I thought either. The dew look doesn’t sink in or disappear, it’s very nice and I want to try more products. Have decanted it so I can carry one in my bag!” High praise indeed!
I went home for Christmas and neglected to bring an overnight lip product so went through my drawers (which still have some beauty products, it’s bad I know) and found a fresh Jouer Cosmetics Essential Lip Enhancer RRP $22 CAD | £13. I have used up a couple of these and loved them and this time is no different! I believe this is the Rose shade but it doesn’t say on the packaging and this is one of the most hydrating lip products I have tried! It feels ultra-rich but not heavy on the lips and contains vitamin E, shea butter, jojoba seed oil and Jouer signature Maxi-Lip complex - a natural peptide blend that diminishes fine lines and makes lips appear fuller! It squeezes out so easy and makes my lips feel amazing! I used it overnight as well as during the day and it keeps them hydrated all night long, while not being sticky and (more importantly for during the day) it gives a lovely shine! Now I am back in Canada, it’s protecting my lips against the cold and heating while I am indoors! I see it’a out of stock on Cult Beauty so I am a little worried now I have rediscovered it, it’s going to be discontinued! Get it if you can!
I recently added the U Beauty The RETURN Eye Concentrate RRP $202 CAD | $148 USD | £143* into my skincare routine and had to mention it here! It is described as a complete contouring treatment that targets visible signs of fatigue, stress, and aging around the eyes and is formulated with Diamond Powder, Marine Plankton Extract, Stabilized Superoxide Dismutase, Pure Beta Glucan, and Short-Chain Hyaluronic Acid. Every U Beauty product is also powered by SIREN Capsule Technology™ - an adaptive, multi-patent-pending delivery system that customizes treatment for transformative skin results. I’ve been using it for almost a month now and it is a beautiful formula, so hydrating but sinks in easily and doesn’t mess with my makeup. It’s helping improve the appearance of fine lines, puffiness, and dark circles while smoothing and plumping by eye area! I have high hopes with continued use and rightly so at that price! My discount code DANIELLEBEAUTYBLOG20 gets 20% off your first purchase!
I got the Sol de Janeiro Cheirosa 59 Delicia Hair & Body Refillable Perfume Mist RRP $53 CAD | £38 for 240 mls along with a mini of the body butter in the same scent as part of my birthday present from SpaceNK and I can’t stop wearing it! Having worked in a scent free office for around 2.5 years, I have become so self-conscious when I wear scents now as I’m not used to it anymore but I changed jobs in July and have slowly been introducing scents back into my daily routine! This one is described as warm and spicy, uplifting and delicious - with notes of vanilla orchid, sugared violet, and sheer sandalwood. I’m a big fan of the original Cheirosa 62 but it can be quite overpowering at times and I find this one the opposite! I am useless as describing scents but this one is understated but still long-lasting and you should go to your nearest store to test it out immideiately!
