Evening Face Routine

Evening Face Routine



 
     I picked up a few things in the last week that I'm working into my skincare routine. I've been having a hell of a time trying to get my spots under control this week but I finally went out and picked up the Origins Super Spot Remover so lets hope it lives up to its name!

     To start off with I just take a large cotton pad and squeeze some Bioderma solution onto it, wipe that all over my face and eyes and then do the same with a second cotton pad as well - SOMETIMES a third pad if I still cant get all of my makeup off - basically until the pad is white and I'm content with a clean face. To really get everything out of those pesky pores I've been loving the Aveeno Clear Complexion Foaming Cleanser. I keep hearing awful things about how bad foaming cleansers are for your skin but I just don't care. This Aveeno cleanser works really well with my acne prone face.

     Tonight I had to go back over my face with some Origins Super Spot Remover squeezed onto a q-tip, dab that onto any spots you're having. And here I would normally rave about how I'm loving something but tonight is the first night I am trying it out so I will get back to you on that! I haven't heard of anyone NOT loving the spot remover though...

     Next I dab on some Kiehl's avocado eye cream with the pad of my ring finger, under the eyes and on my lids as well. And then, after the spot remover gel has had a moment to dry I used another new product tonight - the Algenist Firming and Lifting Gel. This is a product that I didnt think anything of and had never even heard of it until the cashier at Sephora suggested I spend some of my rewards points. I almost picked up a serum - because I'm on a serum kick right now - but this was such a HUGE sample I couldnt help myself! While I was sitting bored waiting to pick up some takeout I discovered via help from Google on my phone that people LOVE this stuff! The regular jar contains 2 oz for $94!! Holy cow. So that means my little sample pot I got is worth $25. I'd say thats an awesome 'thank you' for shopping at Sephora often.

     Last but not least I rubbed some Korres lip butter on my lips and get ready for bed! Thats totally not too many things to use at night. Or not!

Face of the Day * January 29th, 2013

Todays face is composed of just as many brushes as products. I actually made an effort to keep everything I used out on my desk and I realized I use one brush for every product I'm using. I really thought I was a "multi purpose" gal if that makes any sense but I guess I just love dirtying brushes.

Sorry for the crappy phone picture but the products used are listed below! 

Beneft Porefessional face primer
Revlon Nearly Naked Foundation in Ivory
Tarte bronzer in Park Avenue Princess
The Balm blush in Cabana Boy
Mac Skin Finish Natural in Soft and Gentle
Covergirl Eye Enhancers Kit in Prom Queen
Maybelline Great Lash clear mascara for my brows
Lorac eyebrow pencil in blonde
Elf eyelid primer
Rimmel Lash Accelorator Mascara in Black

All brushes are ELF or Real Techniques



Thats my face! Hope you like, questions or comments leave them below!

*Tutorial* Everyday Spring Makeup Look


Man, did I have some technical difficulties on this one. I am learning how to deal with youtube and imovie and final cut pro so quickly! Hah
Anyway, this look is something I've been doing a lot lately. Its super easy and doesnt feel heavy through out the day. I don't typically like to cake on eyeliner and like to keep things simple. I feel this look could work for any face/skin type. Any questions or comments, leave them below! Thanks for watching. xoxo
