What’s On My Counter ( and what should be on yours )

by Madison

One of my favorite things to read from bloggers and influencers that I follow is their morning and night routines. I have always been so intrigued by morning routines ( I did a whole series on them on the blog actually, you can read one here or search “morning routines” in the search bar ) and especially by the products that actually WORK. The beauty market is infiltrated with thousands of products, some that work and some that don’t, so reading and watching influencers I trust talk about their favorite products is something I highly value.

So that’s what this post is all about! Products that I consistently use every day and have seen major results from. Products that I have re-purchased, which honestly says a lot, especially if they have a higher price point. Honestly, I am willing to spend good money on products that work for my skin and hair because as I get older, staying youthful is key. Also as I get older, investing money in quality products as opposed to cheaper products has a lot of value to me, too. This list is tried and true and you guys need these items.

Tap the title of each product for the link to my current favorite beauty items! Happy shopping!

If you’ve been following me for a little while, you know that my hair has been a JOURNEY. I have tried everything and I feel like I have finally been able to see some growth and change in my hair. I owe some of that to this product. It is an intense, thick, hair mask that nourishes and replenishes hair. Since using this product I have seen major growth, shininess, and thickness added to my hair. I have used it probably 5 times, once a week, and I should probably start upping the usage. This product came highly recommended to me through friends and influencers but also from people who use it at their professional salons, which is what really sold me on the product. They have some other products that come highly recommended too, that I will be trying soon! I will absolutely buy again and continue to update y’all on the transformation.

V&L Must-Have: VII Code Oxygen Eye Cream

by Madison

Welcome back to V&L <3 

I am so excited to share this amazing eye cream that I have been using for the last two weeks, and now cannot live without!!! VII Code has an amazing oxygen eye cream formula that reduces wrinkles and under eye circles in just a week or two. I noticed a visible difference in my crows feet by my eyes, this stuff is incredible. Skin is firm and GLOWY, y’all.

From the VII Code website (much more official, you want this info straight from them): “T2 Oxygen Eye Cream O3.0 uses an “exclusive ‘T2’stone mortar extraction process”, which facilitates the healing and regeneration of damaged skin cells near the eyes by protecting this delicate area of the face and by fading away the first visible signs of aging.”

These key ingredients shine in this delightful cream:

  • Elderberries: Anti-oxidant content maintains the skin cells, leaving you with glowing, younger skin.
  • Jojoba Oil: Not only firms and keeps your skin hydrated, but also useful in lessening the appearance of skin wrinkles. Rich in antioxidants, which help regenerate the skin cells.
  • Evening Primrose: Boosts blood circulation, which is helpful to treat tired skin and eyes and is especially effective in removing wrinkles.

Incredible for under eye bags, wrinkles, and overall glow! I look forward to putting this eye cream on at night and waking up feeling rejuvenated and glowy. Who doesn’t want to feel glowy when they wake up?

One of my other favorite things about this eye cream is that it absorbs right into my skin. It doesn’t leave an oily residue that gets all over my eyes and face. I love that I can put it on and feel the moisture sink into my skin. It also comes in the cutest little bag that is transportable and fancy.

This eye cream would make the perfect Christmas gift or stocking stuffer for your wife/girlfriend/bff – you know you are still looking for something to add under the tree!

Let me know when y’all try out this eye cream, I can’t wait to hear about how much you love it!! In the meantime, keep up with me on socials @MadisonCrowley <3 

’till next time, 
xx, Madison
