Kiehl’s Ultra Facial Deep Moisture Balm

Kiehl's Ultra Facial Deep Moisture Balm on Belle Belle Beauty

We have had a rather dry and cold winter here in Tulsa which is a perfect recipe for extra dry skin. My face seems to drink up moisturizer in a hot minute, leaving it feeling dry by the middle of the day. That was until this tub of goodness arrived here at Belle Belle.

Kiehl’s Ultra Facial Deep Moisture Balm is one of the richest moisturizers I have ever used. The balm texture literally seals in hydration thanks to glycerin. The formula also contains the Ultra Facial Ingredient of Antarcticine which has bioprotective properties, keeping skin looking young. Edelweiss flower extract, known to thrive in the high altitudes of the Swiss Alps, helps to strengthen the skin’s barrier function to lock in hydration.

My skin stays soft and subtle all day – this balm hit shelves just in time for me to cure the driest of winter skin.

Lancôme Absolue White Aura

Lancôme Absolue White Aura on Belle Belle Beauty

It is like Lancôme just gets me. They happened to come up with my perfect wintertime moisturizer. Every night for the past month or so, I’ve been slathering on Lancôme Absolue White Aura which is designed to brighten skin. The rose extract works with Pro-Xylane for a fresh and nourishing formula. I love how hydrated my skin feels without being greasy. And the next morning, I find illuminated skin and need just a little bit less makeup. I call that a win.

Available at Nordstrom (on sale!).

Christie Brinkley Authentic Skincare Recapture Day + IR Defense Anti-Aging Day Cream

Christie Brinkley Authentic Skincare Recapture Day + IR Defense Anti-Aging Day Cream on Belle Belle Beauty

I’ve been wanting to try Christie Brinkley’s relatively new skin care line since it hit shelves. And now that I have my paws on this multi-tasker, I know Christie just gets me. This day cream does it all from anti-aging, to working against wrinkles and all while protecting against UV damage.

I’ve been applying this fresh smelling cream each AM. The texture is fairly rich so those with drier skin will love this. But at the same time, there is no heaviness and makeup goes on like a dream over it. And I particularly love that Christie Brinkley Skincare line is certified vegan and cruelty-free with 100% vegan formulations.

Available at Amazon and Birchbox.

Elemis Pro-Radiance Illuminating Flash Balm Pink Edition

Today I am sharing a little “look good, feel good” beauty gem in honor of October’s awareness and Breast Cancer Care. I hadn’t previously tried this fan favorite product, but was glad to use the good cause as an excuse to finally get my paws on the Elemis Pro-Radiance Illuminating Flash Balm Pink Edition.

We can all agree that radiance is in. Especially when the seasons turn and the colder air starts sapping hydration out of skin. This balm is the solution with vitamins packed in to add hydration and radiance back into our complexions. At first I thought this was a primer and I was half correct – it really does prep skin for seamless makeup application.

While it is definitely a two-in-one for some, I like to layer above my moisturizing sun screen. The citrus-spa scent is delicious – something Elemis does so well. Available at elemis.com and dermstore.com. I also understand that this is available at Nordstrom even though I can’t seem to find it online.

Kiehl’s Super Multi-Corrective Cream SPF 30


 Kiehl's Super Multi-Corrective Cream SPF 30 on Belle Belle Beauty

Sorry for the sporadic posting! My poor old seven year old MacBook just finally bit the dust – RIP. But I am happy to report that I am posting from my brand new, sleek MacBook Air. I love the portability. And the graphics are amazing. There are upsides to putting off an upgrade for long than usual. So pleased with the performance on this new guy!

But back to skin care – today I am happy to share with you guys a multi-tasker that will make your routine a breeze as the summer closes. The newest of the Super Multi-Corrective line at Keihl’s is a cream with SPF but also happens to be a great multi-tasker. Love that for rushed mornings. This isn’t just a moisturizer.

The formula works to correct skin with lifting, firming, sculpting and smoothing. I apply after my serum as a last step before makeup. The texture is relatively thick, but I like that it absorbs well. And I know I will need the added moisture as the temps cool.

Made in the USA. Available at Kiehls.com, and Nordstrom.

NUDE Skincare Progenius Omega Treatment Rescue Oil

NUDE Skincare Progenius Omega Treatment Rescue Oil on Belle Belle Beauty

One of my most favorite fellow beauty bloggers, A Little Bit Etc…, has been raving about NUDE Skincare forever. So I don’t know why it has taken me so long to jump on the bandwagon. But I have now, and I don’t see getting off any time soon. I can’t wait to try out the rest of the range. But for now, I will tell you about my first product from NUDE and a reason to love them on its own.

Summer doesn’t really sound like time to try out a face oil. But my dry skin loved this ultra-sheer version. My skin felt revived but not greasy. Plus, the antioxidants help out while we are subjected to summer’s rays. The antioxidants are thanks to omegas 3 and 6 and vitamin C – all great for environmental protection.

Also included in the formula is bakuchiol which works to repair and refine texture. Coleus root and rosemary helps unclog pores – something I am grateful thanks to a few blackheads that I blame on aggressive SPF application (a necessary evil).

I use about a third of a dropper and apply using the tips of my fingers. I am able to detect a very slight botanical and almost spa-like scent. After it is on my skin, I can’t smell the fragrance (which is all natural by the way). The oil soaks immediately into my skin and soothes any redness – I love applying after my evening walk.

I also appreciate that the rescue oil contains no petrolatum, synthetic color, synthetic fragrance, mineral oil, and silicones. ProGenius Omega Treatment Rescue Oil is all-natural, vegan, and cruelty-free. Made in the USA.

Available at Sephora.
