Bed Time #NoFilter Skin Care Routine

To start off, as a woman, I think that all women are beautiful in their own way. Looks should not define us. I think flaws can be beautiful and make you, YOU. Perfect is *snore zzz* BORING.  We should pride ourselves on many other things as women, besides just our looks and always try our best to be comfortable in our own skin.

With that being said, its no secret that we all want to look and feel our best!

Your skin is where your beauty journey needs to begin....take care of that SKIN ladies!

I have a morning skin care routine, and a nightly skin care routine.

This is my night time ritual to exfoliate skin, ward off wrinkles, shrink pores, and keep a healthy dewy glow.

I use in this order

Product #1: Olay Pro-X Facial Brush - This helps exfoliate my skin and dismiss all that useless dead skin.

Product #2: Olay Total Effects 7 in One Refreshing Citrus - This works amazing for my skin type (dry skin) and it has a lot of benefits for your face *deep cleansing *skin refreshment *fine line appearance reduction *pore appearance refinement *gentle exfoliation *RADIANCE - I repeat RADIANCE *and gentle purification

Product #3: Olay Regenerist Micro-Sculpting Serum  - This helps turn back "face" time, while I get my beauty rest.

Product #4: L'Oreal Age Perfect Glow Renewal - Speaks for it self. It's very concentrated, so you only need to use 4 drops.

Product #5: Mint Julips by Lush - Scrub this minty treat all over your lips to get rid of chapped and flakey annoyances, you can lick it off when you are done too! Its sweet and made from all natural products.

Product #6: Vaseline - everyone knows what this stuff does! I apply it after I've gotten my lips nice and smooth from the Lip Scrub.

and that's that! Say hello to a refreshed, glowing, youthful face in the A.M

Your skin will thank you! (all these products may be used in AM or PM I just choose PM)

Dove Oxygen Moisture Review

So I keep seeing the commercial for this product, with women who suffer from *sigh* the flattest of hair, and then at the end of the commercials, these women have big luscious locks. So it is suppose to promote volume and moisture, without weighing your hair down.

Now I'm no fool, I know that the only thing that will give me the big beautiful hair of a Brazilian woman, is a wig. But, I decided to check this out since its a brand new product from Dove, and I love me some Dove :)

*Dove Body Washes are Amazing FYI*

The first thing that came to mind while showering, is that I didn't need to use a lot of the shampoo for it to create tons of *BuBBleS!*, other than that, we are all familiar with the shampoo and conditioning process, and this was no different than others. No flowers fell out of my ceiling, my shower didn't morph into a rain forest, and no one started to make inappropriate noises like the Herbal Essences commercials. 

After applying my favorite kerastase hair product (to protect from heat) and blow drying my hair......I was quite pleased!

(As a side note, I always blow my hair out with a round brush, I think straighteners are extremely damaging and try to avoid using them if I can.)

My hair feels extremely soft, light and fluffy! And YES! It even gave MY flat hair some decent volume!

So if you ran out of your expensive hair product and need something more affordable and of good quality, or if you just want to switch things up a bit...I would definitely suggest looking for this product at your local drugstore!

Alright, time to go apply some make up to this bare face!

I included some pictures of my hair below :)

Vanity Fair

Here is a little sprinkle...of me......

I am a high end makeup lover (but cant resist a good drugstore buy as well!) I also am HUGE into taking care of my skin and using the proper serums and moisturizers to stay pretty and young forever!

Also, like most of us girls, I am very much into fashion and finding the right style for myself.

I tend to spend a lot of my money just trying out all the designer makeup must haves that we all see on Pinterest. I've found some "I absolutely cant live without this" makeup, and some "why did I spend $50 on this", makeup.

I am hoping that some of my makeup reviews can either find you that perfect summer glow must have illuminator - or save you some time and money, because not all that glitters is gold in the world of designer make up!



P.s* I might throw in some outfit selfies here and there too ;)


Below is just a little preview of what is in store for future blog posts......from my beloved vanity room!
