Skincare Routine

IMG_2486

Yay! I’m back! Sorry I was away so long I need to learn how to handle both school and my blog better, but i’m back with a skincare routine post! My two favorite beauty subjects are makeup and skincare, I am excited for this post! So let’s get into it!

I will start with taking off my makeup, I use Neutrogena Makeup Remover Cleansing Towelettes. One wipe takes off all my makeup. I use Cetaphil Gentle Cleanser and Moisturizing Cream some nights if I am too lazy to do my full skincare routine. I also use Cetaphil in to morning before putting my makeup on.

My skincare routine that I do almost every night is from the Michael Todd line. I use the Acne Or Oily Sensitive Skin Regimen and I love it so much. I love Michael Todd products so much because they made with organic ingredients and vegan, I love that it is all natural. I start with the Charcoal Detox and use it with my Soniclear. Then about every other day I use the Jojoba Charcoal Facial Scrub to exfoliate. After that I use the Blue Green Algae Toner, this is my favorite part. Last I use the Antioxidant Carrot Serum. Once a week I use the Kaolin Clay Detoxifying Facial Mask, I love this so much, I had to get used to the smell but it works so well.

Every night I use my Aveda Eye Cream for my dark circles. Then my favorite product out there, it has been my favorite for at least 10 years and I have probably purchased 100 tubes of this in my life… CARMEX! Words do not describe how much I love this product!

If I am breaking out in a little spot on my face I either use Clean & Clear Acne Spot Treatment or Aveda Acne Relief Pads.

And if I am breaking out very very bad I use Proactiv+. I hate to use it because there are so many chemicals in it but sometimes if I am breaking out extremely bad I have to use it. I replace it with my Michael Todd and use it for no more than one or two weeks to clear up my skin. I hate it, but it works well when I am going through a bad breakout.

Hopefully this helps if you are stuck in a skincare routine funk and need to find new products.

Let me know what some of your favorite skincare products are! 🙂

February Favorites

IMG_1826

WOW! I can’t believe that it is already the end of February. That went by so fast. I have been extremely busy with school this month because I had my midterm week and all my classes announced a final paper. So, I have not purchased that much this month. I went to the drug store once, I got my hair done, got those boots online on a good boots sale and the sweater is from H&M. I have really been into writing this month so a personal essay may be coming soon.

Beauty

| 1 | L’Oréal Infallible Series

– Pro-Spray & Set Makeup Extender Setting Spray

– Pro-Matte Foundation (Mine is in Classic Ivory)

– Pro-Matte Powder (Mine is in Porcelain)

I usually don’t buy drug store products because my skins is super sensitive and oily, so my face and drug store products always become an issue.. but this line is amazing. It is definitely high quality, the setting spray, the foundation and the powder is as good as my high end products. Would definitely re-purchase.

Skin Care

| 2 | Aveda

– Botanical Kinetics Energizing Eye Cream

– Hand Relief Moisturizing Cream

This is a high end product but it is so worth it. I got them at my local hair salon that I go to. The eye cream I just got a few days ago so I will let you know how it is, but I can already tell so far so good. The hand cream on the other hand I have used every single day this month. It is so worth it if you have dry hands from the winter. It is perfection, I can not say enough good things about this hand cream.

Apparel

| 3 | Boohoo – Pointed Chelsea Boots

Chelsea boots are my favorite style of boots and I have been wanted one with a pointed toe. I received an email that there was a sale on shoes on boohoo. I got them. Love them. So Much. Wear them all the time.

| 4 | H&M+ V-Neck Sweater

I saw this sweater on tumblr last month and had to find it. It is H&M+ so it was perfect for me. It is such a classic sweater and so big and comfy.

Music

I did not buy the actual cd yet, but I got it on iTunes.. Reflection by Fifth Harmony!! This album is so fun, that is the only way that I can describe it. Every single song I want to dance around my room and pretend that it’s now Sixth Harmony because I obviously think I have joined the group.

Another album that came out recently was Leave Your Love – EP by Tyler Carter. I love it so much. Love him so much.

Also, I went to a Chris Brown and Trey Songz concert this past weekend so I have been listening to them non-stop.

Songs

I have been listening to this cover ever since it has come out. Everything Ed touches turns into gold.
