Favorite Beauty Products

I am NO expert on skincare or makeup but i do buy A LOT of both and i want to recommend a few products that i love and that seem to work (at least for me)...

I am awfully lazy at night and often times go to sleep without washing my face or removing my makeup. I always hear that night time is when your skin cells rejuvenate themselves and are restored. Call it luck or genetics but i haven't had too many skin problems in my day even with my lazy skincare routine.

OR... my flawless skin (he he) could be thanks to these amazing products...

Dermalogica Skin System
I use the essential cleanser and and the intensive moisture balance cream



Exfoliating often is really important but i really like the good ole Saint Ive's Apricot Scrub for that!
You can find it at any drugstore and its less than 10 bux!



I try to wash my face well enough in the shower that all my makeup is removed but just in case i always have Lancome Bi-Facil Eye Makeup Remover handy!



As far as makeup goes i am not really true to one brand.. I think they are all good and like to mix it up but trying a little bit of everything...

I don't wear foundation because personally i think it looks to caked on so i prefer to wear just concealer where needed topped with a light brushing of bronzer and of course, BLUSH! Every girl should have a good blush to highlight those cheekbones.

My favorite bronzer is Bobbi Brown Bronzer in medium... it miraculously works in summer and winter!



I have always had a hard time picking out blush even though i love it! I always go for the pinky or coral colors that end up being too harsh on my cheeks. Recently, however, i was introduced to the perfect blush that i think could work for almost any skin tone. It is by Lancome and the color is Miel Glace... its very light but beautiful.

Next lets talk about my obsession with concealer... I get plenty (if not too much) sleep but still have dark circles under my eyes. If someone asked me what i would need on a deserted island i would say concealer! I have tried many and all kinds and seem to always fall back on Neutrogena's 3-n-1 concealer! Its great and very moisturizing. This is another product you can buy at the drugstore and i think it is only $9.

The last touch is always lip gloss and i am not picky as far as brands or color. I usually opt for pale pink shiny lip gloss or nude lipstick! It works best with my blonde hair and i really am just obsessed with shiny. I like lip plumbers because i don't think my lips have enough ooumphhhh!

Please comment and let me know about some of your favorite products!
