Skincare Essentials You Need This Fall & Winter
This post is sponsored by Fashion Show Las Vegas
With the cooler weather upon us here in Las Vegas, swapping summer necessities for fall & winter essentials is in the works for most. For me, saying goodbye to my summer closet and welcoming back cozy sweaters, tall boots and jackets is a ritual I happily make every October. Aside from wardrobe changes, my beauty and skincare routine needs a shift as well.
Living in the Nevada desert for the last 10 years has dramatically changed my skincare needs. On top of that, my skin is pretty sensitive, which makes finding the best products for my skin a bit challenging. As the air gets drier and colder here in Las Vegas, switching over to more hydrating products to prevent dryness is a must.
One of the best things about being in a city like Las Vegas is the shopping, where beauty experts can share their wealth of knowledge on how to keep your skin looking its best all season long. I headed over to Fashion Show Las Vegas to get the scoop and find out which skincare products are currently standing out from the crowd and are being added to everyone’s favorites lists. Andddd!!! I got to take some samples/replicas to try out. Let me tell you, you guys want to make sure these are part of your skin routine! :)
Macy’s
My first stop was Macy’s, where their beauty experts gave me the rundown on which skincare products are already selling out for the season.
Cutest samples of Macy’s fall & winter must-haves!
Tarte’s Micellar Magic Makeup Remover and Cleanser
The name speaks for itself: this micellar water is definitely magic! It’s a no-rinse facial cleanser that gently removes make-up, oil, and impurities while retaining the moisture in your skin. This product also gets bonus points for being able to remove waterproof & long-wear makeup in a breeze. For those looking for clean skincare, this product is formulated with babassu, a natural ingredient from the rainforest that moistures your skin. It’s also free of parabens, gluten, mineral oil, phthalates, sodium lauryl sulfate, and triclosan.
My Clarins Re-Fresh Hydrating Beauty Mist
Made for all skin types, this fruity-floral beauty water helps revive skin and give it the boost of radiance your skin may need during these colder months. Fans of this product love to spritz this on in the morning to wake up the skin and at night before going to bed to relax the skin. You can even spritz the product onto your face before or after make-up application, which will help soften your skin and give it some hydration. My Clarins is free of all animal-derived ingredients and was not tested on animals. This product is a tested vegan formula that is without parabens, alcohol, sulfates, and phthalates.
Estée Lauder’s Re-Nutriv Ultimate Lift Regenerating Youth Cream
Is keeping your skin radiant throughout the fall and winter a priority? The Ultimate Lift Regenerating Youth Cream does the trick to help keep your skin lifted, hydrated and radiant. It also strengthens the skins and helps diminish fine lines and wrinkles. Lastly, this luxury cream is non-acnegenic, meaning it won’t clog pores or cause break-outs.
Estée Lauder’s Re-Nutriv Ultimate Lift Regenerating Youth Eye Cream
If your under-eyes need some extra TLC, finding the right eye cream is key to helping the skin in that area look lifted and refreshed. The Ultimate Lift Regenerating Youth Eye Cream is a favorite from Macy’s as its ingredients help with puffiness, fight signs of aging, and reduce dark circles.
Estée Lauder’s Advanced Night Repair Eye Concentrate Matrix
Another item flying off the shelves from Estée Lauder and a personal favorite of mine is this amazing elixir to help with my under eyes. Good for all skin types, this ultra-nourishing formula helps every zone near the eye look its ultimate best. Not only does it help with fine lines, wrinkles, puffiness, and dark circles, it also helps with crow’s feet and any reducing lines between brows. It helps create a vibrant and healthier look back to your eyes with results just within 3 weeks.
Smashbox’s Vitamin Glow Primer
A best-seller at Macy’s, Smashbox’s Vitamin Glow primer is a hot product for the season! (No joke, there wasn’t any in stock at the time when I visited the store!) Made to enhance your natural glow, this prime is formulated with antioxidants, vitamins B, C, and E and is a lightweight formula that helps hydrate the skin before applying your make-up for the day. It’s a water-gel formula that gives your skin the re-fresh it needs. This product is also vegan and cruelty and gluten-free.
Saks Fifth avenue
Our final stop to get the scoop on the best skincare necessities this fall & winter is Saks Fifth Avenue. I met their beauty expert, Karen, at the La Prairie counter where I learned about this highly luxurious brand and their beauty must-haves for this season.
If you’re willing to splurge on skincare no matter the price point, then these products from their Skin Caviar collection need to be added to your beauty essentials immediately! With carefully sourced and potent ingredients, the brand has researched and created outstanding processes to source and extract the highest quality caviar to create their highest quality products.
La Prairie at Saks Fifth calls their travel-sized products “Replicas”. I love them as they still hold a decent size of their product in them!
Skin Caviar Essence-in-Lotion - $290
This luxurious pre-serum is infused with distilled caviar water which helps hydrate your skin and increase firmness. It’s meant to be the first step in your luxury skincare routine as it preps the skin to take in as much moisture as it can from the other Skin Caviar products to follow.
Skin Caviar Luxe Cream - $530 to $965
A bestseller from their brand, the Skin Caviar Luxe Cream is an indulgent cream that creates a luxurious skincare experience. The product helps with lifting and firming the skin, while also transforming it to look and feel more toned and tightened. While using the product, I witnessed how it instantly creates a brighter and clearer complexion.
Skin Caviar Nightime Oil - $530
This product is the “new kid on the block,” but is quickly becoming a favorite among the other products in this luxurious collection. The Skin Caviar Night Time Oil is a retinol potion that helps fill in fine lines and wrinkles and smooths the skin. It seals in the hydration your skin needs while enhancing its elasticity.
Skin Caviar Luxe Eye Cream - $400
A little goes a long way with Skin Caviar’s Luxe Eye Cream. This potent product helps transform tired eyes to look bright and more youthful. It also helps the delicate eye area seal in some deep moisture while diminishing any puffiness.
Skin Caviar Luxe Sleep Mask - $405
Transformations overnight are brought to life with the Skin Caviar’s Luxe Sleep Mask. If your skin is in dire need of a quick pick-me-up, this product helps bring some life back to your overall complexion. While you sleep, the skin undergoes a transformation, benefiting from outstanding lifting and firming ingredients in the potion. If you’re new to luxury skincare, this comes highly recommended as it will give you a taste of what La Prairie products can do for your skin.
