Easy and Effective Skin Care Routine

Smile every chance you get.  Not because life has been easy, perfect, or exactly as you had anticipated, but because you choose to be happy and grateful for 
all the good things you do have and all the problems
 you know you don't have. 
I do this routine every day minus a couple of things that I only use once a week. This is a very quick and easy skin care routine that I have found to be very effective throughout the years and really make a difference in the health of my skin.

1. I like to start off by using Ponds Luminous clean face cleaner. It's a very gentle yet effective face cleanser that really focuses on pulling on of the makeup out of your pores and leaving your face looking bright and fresh. I use my Okay effects vibrating brush head with it to really get the cleanser down in deep to my pores and massage every thing in while mildly exfoliating.

This step is optional for days that I may be taking a lot of photos or will just be wearing makeup for a long time out and about and won't be able to touch up. This Olay shine shine go away is a cleanser that puts a Matte finish on your skin and so once you are out of the shower the oils your skin produces are absorbed and don't make your face oily. 

2. The next step is using my blemish control apricot scrub. It I identical to the St. Ives apricot scrub and has all of the benefits. It is paraben free which means less harmful chemicals. This scrub helps prevent and get rid of break out and also gently exfoliates the skin leaving is soft and clean. 

3. I use this about once a week. It is a paper face mask from Freemam using rise water and this really just helps put nutrients back in your skin preventing the dull look and makes it look bright and fresh again.

4. Then I use my cover girl clean eye makeup remover to get rid of whatever excess makeup that may still be on my eyes using a cotton round and gently take it off.

5. Then I use my Biore restoring skin boosting serum helping it look fresh and awake.

6. Then I take my Benefit eye potent cream and put it on under my eyes to help get rid of dark circles and fine line and really just hydrate my under eyes.

7. And finally I take my Ulta Skincare face lotion to help hydrated it and help prevent  fine lines and get rid of the uneven skin tone.

Fall Outfit

“I believe that everything happens for a reason. People change so that you can learn to let go, things go wrong so that you appreciate them when they're right, you believe lies so you eventually learn to trust no one but yourself, and sometimes good things fall apart so better things can fall together.”
― Marylin Monroe 


This is a great outfit idea for fall when you still want to look nice and going out. Cardigans and leopard print are still in style so try your own interpretation of it!

Fall Lip Colors


I decided, very early on, just to accept life unconditionally; I never expected
it to do anything special for me, yet I seemed to accomplish far
 more than I had ever hoped. Most of the time it just
happened to me without my ever seeking it.
Audrey Hepburn

         

The first is Tarte Glamazon Pure Performance 12 hour Lip Stick in the color Playful Purple Rose. It goes on incredibly smooth and is very hydrating. It stays on very well with the exceptional lip touch up. This is the perfect Mauve color for fall that gives a more noticeable color. 

Next is Loreals Colour Riche in the color Saucy Mauve. This is extremely pigmented and is true to color. While it doesn't stay on very long it is very hydrating and smooth. This is a more subtle mauve and is very natural for fall. 
 
The third is the Tarte Glamazon pue performance 12 hour Lipstick in the color Wild (Cool Red). This is the same line as the first color and has all of the same benefits. However this color is more of a in your face color. It is the classic red lip only fall addition with the blue undertones. This is perfect for fall.
 
The final product is the Milani Color Statement Lipstick in the color Raspberry Rush. This product truly feels so amazing on your lips and nourishes them while you wear. This color is the perfect Berry color for the fall season. The color goes on very bold as well and is good for this seasons look.

Sebastian Volupt Volume Shampoo & "Holy Grail"



Happiness is the consequence of personal effort. You fight for it, strive for it, insist upon it,  and sometimes even travel 

around the world looking for it. You have to participate relentlessly in  the manifestations of your own blessings. 
And once you have achieved a state of happiness,


 you must never become lax about maintaining it. You must make a mighty effort to 
keep swimming upward into that happiness forever, to stay afloat on top of it.
 

The Sebastian Volupt Shampoo:
"Achieve great hair heights with Volupt Shampoo by Sebastian. Revolutionary cushioning particles construct your harmony of soft volume, shielding-in the lightness and enhancing your style with weightless micro-lite technology." 


This shampoo has quickly become my favorite shampoo I have ever tried. Before I get started on how well it works I just want to say how good it smells! It isn't some fruity, it is very clean and purfumey. The reason why I tried this product is because I have very thin and fine hair which causes my hair to look extremely lifeless. I search and searched for shampoos that helped fine hair and this one really stood out. It not only leaves my hair feeling so weightless and giving it good volume, but it leaves it feeling very clean feeling and has no oily residue some conditioners tend to leave.
