Skincare routine!

So I'm going to warn you. This is my skin, it's scary but it's cleared up tremendously. This post is going to be a bit picture heavy.

Disclaimer: Everyone had different skin types and issues related to their skin. Something that works for me might not work for you.


First get all your hair up out of your face.

Then make sure you follow your product instructions. My first step is to wet my face.

Once that is finished take your cleanser and apply.
I'm using Olay Moisture Balancing Foaming Face Wash.

Rinse and then either repeat with the same cleanser or use another. I like to vary this step up. I take Clean n Clear's Deep Action Cleanser because it's a lot better for my drier skin and gives me a deep down clean feeling.

Here we go with the scary face!

Every few days I exfoliate with either St.Ives Apricot Scrub or Clean n Clear's Morning Burst Facial Scrub

The final step after rinsing is to moisturize. I don't use toner anymore but if that's in your routine feel free to use it.

I use Cetaphil's Daily Lotion because I find it's much nicer than their Facial Lotion

There we go!

Tweet Tweet!

I absolutely LOVE twitter. If you haven't noticed I have my latest twitter updates on the right hand side of the screen. Feel free to follow me!

Oh if you're new to twitter I highly suggest Tweetdeck. I rarely tweeted when I just went off the web page. Twitterfox is nice as well but a bit slow.

TWEEEEET.

I've lost my mind!

I've lost not only my mind but my sleep schedule, my immune system and my camera usb cable.

I will be on a mission after I get home from school today to crash and nap.
After that mission is complete the next is to take my nuclear disaster of a room and turn it into something Mary Poppins will be proud of.

Oh and when I'm done with that which will mean I'll find the cable because I know it's in here somewhere. I have LOTS of pictures to show you guys!

April 09 favorites!

Clean n Clear Morning Burst Facial Scrub:
I'll be doing a video on my skincare routine in a bit but I recently picked this up and it's amazing. The microbeads are fine enough to be gentle but large enough to really get that exfoliating action. I love the feeling that it brings, not the tight tingly feeling but a fresh awake feeling. I always feel clean after using this. I use it about once every couple days. Must have from now on! Plus I picked it up for 2/8, this little baby only cost me four bucks!

Ecotools Mineral Brush set. 5 piece kit.
MUST HAVE. I am going to collect all of Ecotool brushes. I have the 6 piece kit which is amazing. I've lost the liner and the brow brush from that but am so going to go get another set. The mineral set comes with a concealer, baby kabuki brush, a powder brush which I find perfect for blush or loose powder and a blending brush which is worth ten dollars by its self. So getting myself a back up for this kit as well.

Magneteyez by Spell Cosmetics.
First off, I want to say. I was sent this by my wonderful online boyfriend, Gemma. LOL I'm just joking but he really truly is amazing. I hate when I watch a review from gurus who are sent things and never admit to the freebies. We all know those certain few who like to sway their opinions on a product to keep their freebie suppiler happy. I'm not one of them. On to the product, it's a wonderful eye primer. I have used various other primer dupes and have tried UDPP or TFSI in small samples but this is by far the easiest and non stickiest feeling primer I have used. With UDPP and TFSI I felt like the primer made blending harder than it would have been without primer. MagentEyes goes on smooth and clear which makes blending effortless. A must have staple for me with a much more detailed review to come.

Lash Stiletto by Maybelline.
Omg! Perfection in a chic tube! A much much more descriptive review to come. I use this daily and will be stocking up! Maybelline is the QUEEN of Mascaras.

NYX eyeshadow 'Chocolate'
I love this color for a matte neutral brown. Dark enough to have some pop but soft enough to be a perfect day time look.

NYC Loose Powder in Translucent.
The most amazing loose powder ever. I use it daily and will never give this product up, ever. For 2.99 it's the best deal out there! Smoothness and setting in a large circular container. <3

Stay tuned!

I'm editing my online life LOL!
I've taken some videos down on youtube but only because I want to redo them.
I'm redoing all my profiles.
Also as for videos I'm thinking about what videos I should do.
Any requests?
We just bought a baby ferret last night.
So far as we can tell she's a girl.
I'll have pictures to come!

I've been home for a while and....

I still haven't done a video nor a new blog post.
I'm sorry!
I've been scrambling with school!
Sarah has been very naughty and hasn't been responsible with her school work.
So I'm working on my science right now.
I'm hoping that tonight I won't be TOO tired because I really want to do a video.
I already took pics for my upcoming haul video.
Anyways I'll be back later lovelies!
