Neutrogena Hydro Boost Products You Need for the Holidays

I have been using Neutrogena products for YEARS, so I’m thrilled to be partnering with Neutrogena in today’s blog post to share more about adding the Hydro Boost Hydrating Tint and the Hydro Boost Moisturizing Lip Gloss to my makeup routine! This line helps tremendously with dry skin, which is my usual problem area. Since the colder months are here, it’s super important to have products you can count on to keep your skin looking and feeling hydrated and refreshed!

The Neutrogena Hydro Boost Hydrating Tint is great for boosting skin hydration while you wear it! Made with hyaluronic acid, it refreshes dry, thirsty skin for 24 hours. I love that it’s a liquid foundation, and the hyaluronic acid is an ingredient known for its skin plumping and hydrating properties! This Hydro Boost Hydrating Tint won’t clog pores, and there are 10 blendable makeup shades that can easily be incorporated into any beauty routine!


I’m also such a fan of the Neutrogena Hydro Boost Moisturizing Lip Gloss because it leaves my lips feeling and looking super hydrated! Who likes lipstick that dries out your lips throughout the day? I know I don’t and this lip gloss does anything but! I ended up buying the vibrant raspberry color because I thought it was gorgeous for the Holidays. The neutral colors are pretty too, though! You can’t go wrong with any of the colors in my opinion! 🙂


Both of these Neutrogena Hydro Boost products are available for purchase at Walmart today! You can also add them to your online pickup or delivery order! They’re sure to be the perfect additions to your makeup routine this holiday season or for a stocking stuffer! Plus there is an awesome offer right now– >get a $10 Reward when you spend $25 on participating Neutrogena® Products between 11/01/20-12/05-20. Click here for details.

IMPORTANCE OF SELF-CARE WITH PANTENE

*A special thank you to Pantene for sponsoring today’s post. All opinions are my own!*

Now more than ever, it is super important to make time for YOU! Although your busy schedule might have slowed down, that doesn’t mean your everyday stress and struggles just disappear! I’m teaming up with Pantene on the blog today to share some ways that have helped me decompress, especially with the extra time at home. Instead of it being a task on my to-do list, I decided to start using hair wash days as a way to reflect and refocus while pampering myself with the Pantene Nutrient Blends Collection!

For as long as I can remember, my mother has always inspired my beauty routine by telling me that taking care of yourself starts from within. Basically, drink LOTS of water! 🙂 If you do that, maintaining healthy skin and hair will be much easier. And as I’ve gotten older, I definitely see how right she was! My mother and I have both been coloring our hair for years, but we’ve never had major issues with hair loss or thickness because we have learned how to properly protect our hair.

Although my mom prefers being the one behind the lens, incorporating the Pantene Nutrient Blends Collection has been a perfect fit for us to prevent future hair damage! I’m currently loving the Fortifying Damage Repair Shampoo and Conditioner. The luxurious formula of the Fortifying Damage Repair Shampoo strengthens to protect for healthy resilient hair. The Fortifying Damage Repair Conditioner nourishes hair from damage and frizz! After I finish washing my hair, I add in the Pantene Fortifying Damage Repair Overnight Restoring Serum that provides an almost instant boost!

These products are safe for people with color-treated hair, but Pantene also has another line in their Nutrient Blends Collection to add fullness to fine, thin hair. That collection incorporates rose water, and this collection incorporates castor oil – so you can select the products depending on your hair care needs!

Having beautiful, healthy hair is something we all strive for, and I think the Pantene Nutrient Blends Collection achieves just that with an affordable price tag! If you feel like your current hair routine isn’t working anymore, I encourage you to switch it up with this collection. Finding products that work for you can change everything about your hair for the better! You can purchase the Pantene Nutrient Blends Collection at Walgreens HERE. Thanks for stopping by and talking all things self-care and hair with me! 🙂

MY DAILY SKINCARE ROUTINE

DAILY SKINCARE ROUTINEDAILY SKINCARE ROUTINEThe older I get, the more I realize just how important it is to have a solid skincare routine! After too many years of trusting makeup wipes, I have finally stepped my game up, and I see the difference. If you’re like me, you probably don’t have 30 minutes every night to dedicate to skincare alone! Instead, I’m going to share my 5 minute nightly routine that’s easy and doable for everyone! I want to mention that this post is in no way sponsored by Tula. I have used Tula for years, and I truly love it!

STEP 1: WASH MAKEUP OFF

I still use Neutrogena makeup wipes, but it’s no longer the only product! Lol. Tula also just came out with the new Makeup Melt Makeup Removing Balm, and I love that I can roll the stick over my face versus having to use my fingers with the Drunk Elephant kind.

STEP 2: TULA SUPER CALM GENTLE MILK CLEANSER

I like the calming gentle cleanser for everyday use! But when my face is breaking out, I use the Tula Keep It Clear Acne Foam Cleanser. It really works for my skin! I put it to the test last week when my forehead had some breakouts, and it was gone within days! I also use the Go Away Acne Spot Treatment for extra reinforcement.

STEP 3: TULA PRO-GLYCOLIC 10% pH RESURFACING TONER

This is great after your face is clean to tone the skin and even out your color!

STEP 4: TULA DEW YOUR THING OIL FREE GEL CREAM

This gel cream is one of my favorites just to keep my face moisturized! Tula is actually releasing an acne moisturizer in two weeks that I was able to test early, and I LOVE it. I substitute this acne version when my face has blemishes! I promise I’ll add it to the blog post when it’s available!

MORNING ROUTINE

I apply Dew Your Thing Oil Free Gel Cream and the Brightening Eye Balm every morning! I use the balm if I’m not wearing makeup or over my foundation if I am! It blows my mind that it works either way. The eye balm is HOLY GRAIL! Another new Tula product is the Brighten Up Smoothing Primer Gel. I have switched to this before applying my foundation, and it’s worked so well for me!

I know everyone’s skin is different, but Tula has been incredible for mine! It’s cleared up my acne, evened out my skin tone, and just overall brightened my face. Even my friend Taylor raves about the brand! 🙂 You can use my discount code KELSIE for 15% off any Tula products!

PANTENE WATERLESS COLLECTION

*Special thanks to Pantene for sponsoring today’s post! All opinions are my own*

This may be surprising, but I absolutely dread getting ready! Especially when it comes to fixing my hair, which is why it’s always straight! The #1 product I use (even above hairspray) is dry shampoo! I’ve been obsessing over Pantene’s new Waterless Collection which contains the Cheat Day Dry Shampoo Foam and the Mist Behaving Dry Conditioner Mist because they smell amazing (my mom said it reminded her of cotton candy) and I can put off washing my hair even longer! Lol. You can ask anyone close to me, and they will tell you I live on dry shampoo. Using the dry shampoo foam and dry conditioner mist from the new Pantene Waterless Collection have been the perfect products to add to my daily beauty routine!

From the gym to photoshoots, my schedule is pretty hectic and busy! It’s hard to find time to catch a breath let alone wash my hair because we all know it’s a time consuming process. Most people don’t realize that with the right dry shampoo, your hair can definitely stay fresher longer and look as clean as the first day you washed it! 🙂 Pantene has products for various hair types, but I’m going to be discussing the Cheat Day Dry Shampoo foam and the Mist Behaving Dry Conditioner Mist!

Pantene Cheat Day Dry Shampoo Foam

This product works best with thick or colored hair! It is free of parabens and sulfates and seriously revives and brightens my blonde hair. The Cheat Day Dry Shampoo Foam even masks my darker roots and makes it look like my hair was recently colored! Another reason I love it is because the product has Pro-Vitamin B5 & orchid flower water in the foam to release clumped hair while the tapioca from the cassava root absorbs excess oil!

And it’s so easy to use! Shake the can well and dispense a small amount onto your fingertips- not directly at your roots! Section your hair and apply in small amounts at the roots and rub it in completely!

Pantene Mist Behaving Dry Conditioner Mist

I don’t know how I’ve made it without the Mist Behaving Dry Conditioner Mist! It’s essentially a leave-in conditioner and a styling spray! Who doesn’t want a product with multiple uses?! I love using it to keep my hair silky and smooth! The dry conditioner mist also has amazing frizz control and nourishes color-treated and heat-styled hair. Apply from 6-8 inches away at the mid-lengths to ends of your dry hair for the best results!

The Pantene Waterless Collection has transformed my non-wash days and allows me to extend the time between washes which is great for my busy schedule. You need to try this collection for yourself- it’s available at Kroger!
