Summer Faves and Raves: Skin Care and Makeup From Honest Beauty

August 11th, 2020 by Karen 3 Comments

honest beauty summer faves

Got some thoughts on the latest makeup and skin care from Honest Beauty. Here are some things I’ve been using and loving…

Cat Eye Kit – Mascara & Eyeliner

This one comes with 1) a dual-ended mascara with a primer on one side and a black lengthening mascara on the other, and 2) a fine-tipped black liquid liner with a flexible felt tip. The primer and mascara combo stretches and lifts lashes for a natural-looking fringe that feels lightweight and doesn’t smudge. As for the liner…it’s SO GOOD. It’s long lasting, deeply pigmented (no blue undertones) and extremely precise. I’ve sweated and cried with it on, and it doesn’t move. Surprisingly though, it’s still easy to remove at the end of the day.

$19.99 for a 2-piece kit.

INGREDIENTS
Mascara Ingredients: Water (Aqua), Beeswax (Cera Alba), Potassium Cetyl Phosphate, Glycerin, Glyceryl Stearate SE, Copernicia Cerifera (Carnauba) Wax, Castor Isostearate Beeswax Succinate, Acacia Senegal Gum, Cellulose, Glyceryl Behenate, Jojoba Esters, Tocopherol, Ethylhexylglycerin, Caprylyl Glycol, Cetyl Palmitate, Sorbitan Olivate, Sorbitan Palmitate, Xanthan Gum, Caprylic/Capric Glycerides, Sodium Benzoate, Cellulose Gum, Potassium Sorbate, Sodium Phytate, Phosphoric Acid, Iron Oxides (CI 77499).

Lash Primer Ingredients: Water (Aqua), Beeswax (Cera Alba), Potassium Cetyl Phosphate, Glycerin, Jojoba Esters, Glyceryl Stearate, Zea Mays (Corn) Starch, Copernicia Cerifera (Carnauba) Wax, Acacia Senegal Gum, Cetyl Palmitate, Sorbitan Olivate, Sorbitan Palmitate, Cetearyl Alcohol, Cellulose, Castor Isostearate Beeswax Succinate, Ethylhexylglycerin, Caprylyl Glycol, Caprylic/Capric Glycerides, Sodium Benzoate, Xanthan Gum, Cellulose Gum, Potassium Sorbate, Sodium Phytate, Tocopherol, Phosphoric Acid

Liquid Eyeliner: Water (Aqua), Alcohol Denat., Glycerin, Pullulan, Disodium Coco-Glucoside Citrate, Hectorite, Xanthan Gum, Citric Acid, Sodium Hydroxide, Sodium Dehydroacetate, Iron Oxides (CI 77499), Ferric Ammonium Ferrocyanide (CI 77510).

Prime + Perfect Mask

This “daytime mask” is a combination skin care/makeup prep product containing antioxidants (via fruit extracts), shea butter and sunflower seed oil to plump and smooth skin before makeup. A nice little extra if you’re in the mood for a little everyday indulgence. 😁

$19.99 for a 2-oz. tube.

INGREDIENTS
Water (Aqua), Glycerin, Kaolin, Helianthus Annuus (Sunflower) Seed Oil, Cetyl Palmitate, Cetearyl Alcohol, Butyrospermum Parkii (Shea) Butter, Behenyl Alcohol, Polyglyceryl-3 Stearate, Caesalpinia Spinosa Gum, Wine, Ribes Nigrum (Black Currant) Fruit Extract, Tocopherol, Trisodium Ethylenediamine Disuccinate, Caprylyl Glycol, Caprylhydroxamic Acid, Maltodextrin, Caprylic/Capric Triglyceride, Fragaria Chiloensis (Strawberry) Fruit Extract, Citrus Aurantium Dulcis (Orange) Peel Extract, Rubus Idaeus (Raspberry) Leaf Extract, Ananas Sativus (Pineapple) Fruit Extract, Pyrus Malus (Apple) Fruit Extract, Vanilla Planifolia Fruit Extract, Coffea Arabica (Coffee) Leaf/Seed Extract, Alcohol, Citric Acid , Mica (CI 77019), Titanium Dioxide (CI 77891), Iron Oxides (CI 77491, CI 77499), Limonene.

Beauty Sleep Resurfacing Serum

If you’re interested in exfoliation without irritation, give this gentle AHA night serum a try. It contains glycolic, lactic, citric, malic and tartaric acids (all naturally derived), combined with hyaluronic acid.

It’s a good “starter” exfoliator IMO.

$27.99 for a 1-oz. tube with a pump.

INGREDIENTS
Water (Aqua), Vitis Vinifera (Grape) Juice Extract, Propanediol, Hydroxyethylcellulose, Acer Saccharum (Sugar Maple) Sap, Glycolic Acid, Lactic Acid, Citric Acid, Aloe Barbadensis Leaf Juice, Sodium Acetylated Hyaluronate, Hydrolyzed Sodium Hyaluronate, Trisodium Ethylenediamine Disuccinate, Sodium Nitrate, Monosodium Phosphate, Disodium Phosphate, Niacinamide, 1,2-Hexanediol, Caprylhydroxamic Acid, Sodium Magnesium Silicate, Xanthan Gum, Glycerin, Chamomilla Recutita (Matricaria) Flower Extract, Phenoxyethanol, Sodium Hydroxide.

Organic Beauty Facial Oil

There’s a boat-load of botanical oils in this moisturizer. LIKE, SO MANY. It layers well atop skin care products (including my zit cream, serums and sunscreen) and underneath makeup, too.

$27.99 a 1-oz. bottle with a dropper applicator.

INGREDIENTS
Olea Europaea (Olive) Fruit Oil*, Helianthus Annuus (Sunflower) Seed Oil*, Prunus Armeniaca (Apricot) Kernel Oil*, Simmondsia Chinensis (Jojoba) Seed Oil*, Persea Gratissima (Avocado) Oil*, Perilla Ocymoides Seed Oil*, Salvia Hispanica (Chia) Seed Oil*, Calophyllum Inophyllum (Tamanu) Seed Oil*, Calendula Officinalis Flower Extract*, Lavandula Angustifolia (Lavender) Oil*, Lavandula Hybrida Oil*, Pelargonium Graveolens Oil*, Pogostemon Cablin Leaf Oil*, Citrus Limon (Lemon) Peel Oil*, Citrus Aurantium Bergamia (Bergamot) Fruit Oil*, Canaga Odorata (Ylang Ylang) Flower Oil*, Cinnamomum Zeylanicium Leaf Oil*, Ocimum Basilicum (Basil) Oil*, Eugenia Caryophyllus (Clove) Bud Oil*, Rosa Damascena Flower Oil*, Benzyl Benzoate, Benzyl Salicylate, Citral, Citronellol, Eugenol, Limonene, Linalool. *Certified Organic Ingredient

Sweet Almond Bubble Bath

Lots of last-lasting bubbles, and the lovely light almond scent isn’t overwhelming. I took my first bubble bath in literally years with this, and it was sooo relaxing…

$11.95 for a 12-oz. bottle.

INGREDIENTS
Gently Nourishing, Sweet Almond: Water (Aqua), Lauryl Glucoside, Cocamidopropyl Hydroxysultaine, Aloe Barbadensis Leaf Juice, Glycerin, Disodium Cocoyl Glutamate, Decyl Glucoside, Sodium Chloride, Sodium Cocoyl lsethionate, Glyceryl Caprylate/Caprate, Prunus Amygdalus Dulcis (Sweet Almond) Oil, Simmondsia Chinensis (Jojoba) Seed Oil, Carthamus Tinctorius (Safflower) Seed Oil, Chamomilla Recutita (Matricaria) Flower Extract, Citrus Limon (Lemon) Peel Extract, Heptyl Glucoside, Caprylyl Glycol, Sodium Polyitaconate, Panthenol, Caprylhydroxamic Acid, Triethyl Citrate, Trisodium Ethylenediamine Disuccinate, Vanillin, Raspberry Ketone, Maltol, Gamma-Decalactone, Benzaldehyde, Anisaldehyde, Citric Acid, Coconut Acid, Glutamic Acid, Limonene

Lit Powder Blush

Both of the Lit Powder Blushes I’ve tried arrived broken, so be careful if you’re accident prone. Don’t drop ’em. If you 1) can handle them with kid gloves and 2) like a pearly shine finish, these long-lasting powder blushes might delight your cheeks. 😊 They have a sheerness that makes them ideal for natural looks, so grab your favorite tinted moisturizer and call it a day.

Available in four shades, $12.99 each for a 0.138 oz. pan.

INGREDIENTS
Mica, Octyldodecyl Stearoyl Stearate, Silica, Zinc Stearate, Zea Mays (Corn) Starch, Glyceryl Caprylate, p-Anisic Acid, Tocopherol, Glycine Soja (Soybean) Oil, Titanium Dioxide (CI 77891), Iron Oxides (CI 77491, CI 77492), Red 7 Lake (CI 15850). MAY CONTAIN/PEUT CONTENIR (+/-): Iron Oxides (CI 77499), Red 6 (CI 15850), Blue 1 Lake (CI 42090).

Your friendly neighborhood beauty addict,

Karen

    I love honest beauty! I have her cream blush and I am in love! I have also used the skin care for acne it’s pretty good. I also appreciate the fair price point. Skin care for acne can be so expensive (that doesn’t include prescriptions!). I am also a big fan of Jessica Alba. 💜

      The cream blush is lovely! If you don’t already have their liquid lipsticks, add one to your wish list ASAP. I wear the color “Happiness” all the time. Comfy and doesn’t rub off on my mask!

      Have you seen their eyeshadow palette? I haven’t tried it yet but it looks really good.

    This is a weird question but does the facial oil smell good? Love an indulgent experience to trick myself into thinking it’s a facial (hahahah remember those). I LOVED a sample I had of Dermalogicas Photo Replenish Oil, but mostly because it felt and smelled so luxurious!

About Makeup and Beauty Blog

Welcome to Makeup and Beauty Blog
Hi there! I’m Karen, your friendly neighborhood beauty addict, and I’m a Bay Area girl who hoards brown eyeshadow and covets coral lipstick. Every morning, I wake up and say, “I’m going to do something other than a smoky eye today.” Then…I end up doing a smoky eye anyway (most days). When I’m not putting on makeup, taking pictures of makeup or writing about makeup, which I’ve been doing daily since 2007 (!), you’ll find me hanging out with my hubby (“El Hub”), my four-year-old daughter (Connor Claire) and my torbie girl cat (Pretty Girl Rosie, a.k.a. PGR).
