My Five Beauty Obsessions: Leilani Bishop

Introduction

Beauty is a personal journey of self-discovery and self-acceptance. My beauty routine helps me feel my best, while reminding me that true beauty comes from within. Here are five products that uplift my spirit and make me glow, along with some tips for living healthfully.

Clean Skincare

I believe clear, hydrated skin reflects inner radiance. My favorite cleanser is gentle and plant-based, removing impurities without stripping natural oils. I apply a nourishing rose mist afterward – it soothes and brightens.

Nourishing Makeup

When I want a subtle glow, I choose mineral foundation and blush in warm, sun-kissed tones. I define my eyes lightly with earthy shadow and black mascara. Finally, I finish with a rosy lip balm that leaves my lips petal soft.

Soothing Hair Care

My hair craves moisture from root to tip. I wash with a repairing shampoo and conditioner containing aloe vera, shea butter and argan oil. Once a week, I pamper my strands with a deep conditioning hair mask. The result is strong, shiny, happy hair.

Body Care Rituals

My evening bath is a relaxing self-care ritual. I add Epsom salts to soothe muscles and essential oils like lavender and ylang ylang to set a calming mood. After toweling off, I massage my skin with a rich body butter – it nourishes deeply and smells like a tropical dream.

Inner Wellbeing

While physical self-care is important, I know true beauty comes from within. I make time for reflection, surround myself with positive people, practice gratitude, and meditate. This inner light can’t help but shine outward.
