Sometimes I get all caught up in trying to create blog posts on certain products or topics that I forget that blogging is sometimes about the daily things. Thus I am starting a new series, Five Things I am Loving Right Now. Hopefully I will do this seasonally, but maybe more often then that if the mood strikes. The whole point is to share with your the stuff I am using daily and getting some good use out of. Sometimes I might be in the process of writing a full post on the products, sometimes I will be revisiting past products that I am still loving (or rediscovered) and sometimes just products I want to give a good shout out to.

I big shout out to Madeline from Classically Contemporary. We recently had a little chit-chat and she inspired me to start this series (because that is what friends do, inspire us to be better).
Palmer's Cocoa Butter Skin Therapy Skin Oil
I reviewed this way back in 2015 and loved it and its accompanying face oil and oil cleanser. While I may of got these three items from PR back then, I actually used them up and re-bought them more then once (which frankly I never end up using anything up anymore, so I am impressed).

First off it is like Bio Oil, yes. But it also cost about $10, has a pump and contains no mineral oil. Plus my skin really loves it. Since it is safe for the face I have been using it a lot more then I would have thought on my face this winter. I just have been so dry this past season and this has been the answer to my skin problems.
Wet N Wild Photo Focus Pressed Powder
I have been meaning to blog about Wet N Wild's new foundation collection for what feels like forever, but alas I have not. So while I can tell you I really love the foundation, the powder is maybe the item I love the most. I have been having one heck of the time with my face skin being dry and flaky when I apply any foundation, heck even BB or tinted moisturizer, so when I say this powder leaves my skin looking nice and cake free I am pretty impressed. In fact I did something I haven't done in years, I hit pan! I fully plan on repurchasing this powder (and the foundation for that matter)
I love a good Micellar water, but often find I have a hard time removing my waterproof makeup. Since I wear waterproof mascara and liner almost every single day, it kind of gets pointless, I end up tugging more then removing and am never satisfied. I discovered this duo-phase version from L'oreal and was amazed at how well it removed everything from my face without any film left on my skin. It also happens to be Oil, Fragrance, Alcohol and Soap Free, meaning my dry and sensitive skin stays calm and doesn't get reactive or angry.
There are 5 beauty items I am really loving right now. Not only am I using them almost daily, but I am using them up, which is impressive for me.

*items marked with an asterisk were give to me from PR. All views and opinions are my own.

PALMER’S COCONUT OIL FORMULA BODY CREAM - 125g - $7.99
While this is supposed to be a body cream, it clearly is a body butter to me. It is so rich and thick that it holds its shape after you touch it. While thick and creamy it absorbs nicely to the skin and isn't greasy.

A little is all you need, a dab goes a really long way. I love to use it on my elbows, knees, feet and hands to get those dry spots nice and hydrating. I honestly feel this tub may last me the rest of my life because of how little I need to use to completely hydrate all my dry skin.

Hands down, this is my favourite product in the line. I love a good cleaning oil. For years I've struggled with my dry and dehydrated skin. In the past cleansers left my skin dry, tight and very uncomfortable. Since I switched to cleansing oils, I've found that my skin is left clean, hydrated and smooth. There is no tightness or dryness. No patting my skin dry thinking, 'my skin is parched, what have I done?".

While I generally love cleansing oils, not all are created equal, which is why I love this one, it is one of the best I have ever tried. It is a bit thicker than most (think Bobbi Brown or Origins for constancy) which lets you really get the dirt, makeup and oil off your face efficiently. It has a nice locking pump which helps you get the right amount out and not make a mess. Another thing that sets this product apart, there is no mineral oil in it! None, which seems to be a main ingredient in many brands (even high end ones).  Plus it just works really well and leaves no residue on your skin.
Skin Therapy Oil Face:
Their new face oil is also fantastic. It is a great idea for anyone with dry skin (that's me) or anyone looking to improve their completion.  If you read my hiatus post, you know I've been under crazy stress, well there is nothing better to make you break out that stress. I am now left with some new post-acne marks I am trying to fade. The Retinol and Vitamin C in this oil really help fade the marks faster.

It also contains some very soothing oils in it, which helps again with my dryness, but also as an anti-aging product.

With 10 oils in it (Sesame Oil, Coconut Oil, Sweet Almond Oil, Macadamia Nut Oil, Apricot Oil, Argan Oil, Grapeseed Oil, Rosehip Oil, Camelina Oil and Sunflower Oil) it has a very light texture, so anyone who is afraid of oil causing breakouts shouldn't worry. It's so light because (again) it has no mineral oil in it (a breakout culprit too).

Skin Therapy Oil ($9.97):

First off I want to say how impressed I am with the shampoo. As a former Co-washer shampoo is sometimes not always my thing. That being said, I love this shampoo. It is creamy and moisturizing, doesn't strip my hair at all. Plus because it removes product build up so well I feel my hair is left soft and bouncy even though it is such a creamy shampoo.
