Here’s a roundup of my top beauty products of 2021:
Dermaflash: The same dermaplane treatment you can get at a med spa at home that gives you glowing, smooth, hair-free skin. Use 1x a week.
T3 Curling Barrel // T3 Base: My favorite curling iron I’ve ever owned. My curls last for days. This barrel gives you the best beach waves. Be sure to use a heat protectant before use and turn down the heat to 3 dots.
Vanity Planet Face Steamer: Another great spa treatment at home that helps open your pores and adds moisture to your skin. I use it after washing my face then add my evening skincare products. Plus, its relaxing and feels amazing. Great gift idea!
Dr. Dennis Gross LED Face Mask: This was my birthday present to myself and honestly I thought this mask was crazy, but I’m here to say it works and now I’m obsessed. Created by a dermatologist, the red LED lights stimulate your skin’s collagen production and the blue LED lights kill acne causing bacteria. It has three settings: red light, blue light, or a combination. I use the combination setting. A full treatment is 3 minutes. You can lie down and use this mask or use the face strap and multitask. It’s also FDA approved and backed by medical research studies. Use daily for max results. Even my husband uses it. Definitely worth the investment, IMO.
Tan-Luxe Body Drops // Face Drops // Body Butter: If you’ve been around awhile then you already know I love this brand’s products. I use the medium/dark shade. Simply add a few drops to your lotion for a golden glow that lasts all week and doesn’t transfer on to clothes or bedding. Great to use before vacation, too!
Nécessaire Body Products: Like a multivitamin for your skin. I love every product I’ve tried. My favorites are the body lotion and body wash. The sandalwood scent is my go-to. Available in scent free and other great scents, like eucalyptus. For 20% off use code: HEATHERNICOLE
Charolette Tilbury Blush Wand // Highlight Wand: This combo is a viral Tik Tok sensation and has been sold out for weeks. I’m all about an easy and natural make up routine and it doesn’t get better than this. Definitely snag these two products if you find them in stock.
Summer Fridays Vanilla Lip Mask: My favorite affordable beauty product of the year. My lips feel so soft and hydrated. Love the product, the light vanilla scent, and the application. This goes with me everywhere.
Lancome Mascara Primer // Mascara: I discovered this lash combo thanks to Ashley Robertson’s Instagram. A good primer makes all of the difference in lash length and fullness. I also love this gel mascara formula. No flakes, or rub off on my eye lids, and it lasts all day long. 10/10 from me.
Foreo Face Brush: I’ve had this face wash brush for several years now and it is still a favorite that I use daily. It uses medical grade silicone so the brush fibers don’t harbor bacteria. I swear my pores looked smaller after I started using this brush. It comes in several sizes and price points as well.
Skin Ceuticals CE Ferulic Serum: If you don’t already have a vitamin c serum in your morning skincare routine, you need one and this is it. I’m kind of a snob when it comes to skincare serums. I’ll pay the price but it better be amazing and this one is worth every penny. Just get it and see for yourself. Your skin will thank you later.
iS Clinical Active Peel Face Pads: This is another product that the hype is real. My esthetician, Olivia, went on about this new product and how it kept selling out like hot cakes. It’s a two step light chemical peel that you use a couple times a week before bed and you wake up with a radiant glow that would make the sun jealous. This product also helped clear up my hormonal acne immediately. I’m so impressed. If you could only purchase one of my favorite beauty items of 2021, definitely try this one.
Braun Silk IPL Laser Hair Removal: The only reason I purchased this product was because of my friend, Brittany, who raved about her results. I’ve wanted laser hair removal basically since puberty but haven’t pulled the trigger because of the expense. So when she said she bought this IPL laser from Target for a fraction of the cost, I was skeptical at best, but after her results I decided to go for it since it has a 100 day money back guarantee and claims you’ll see permanent hair reduction in just four weeks. Guys, it really worked. My hair either hasn’t grown back or it has grown back light and very thin but not visible. I can’t tell you how much time I’ve cut off my shower since I’m no longer shaving 3/4 of my body. This is a game changer!
Let me know your favorite beauty products of the year or if you try any of these beauty recs. I love trying new products and sharing the best finds with you!
