MY CURRENT SKINCARE ROUTINE

it has been awhile since i shared my skincare routine. the last time i posted mine was over two years ago and i have changed it up quite a bit.

some of my favorite skincare/beauty products at the moment are: mario badescu glycolic foam cleanser. i use this in the shower along with my clarisonic, which i freakin' love and recommend to everyone. the two of these products together have made my skin look and feel brighter and smoother. i use tatcha radiant brightening serum. a splurge, but totally worth it. i have a friend who is an esthetician who said that if you are going to spend money on your skincare, make it a serum. the benefits range from anti-aging, to brightening, to firming and the higher concentrated the serum, the better. serum goes on before you moisturize. it does not replace your moisturizer. i have been using the mario badescu oil free moisturizer with SPF-17. i recently picked up a garnier anti-puff eye roller and really like it. i still use quite a few super products, that i mentioned before, but the line was discontinued and is no longer available. i stocked up during their clearance sale and will have to find a good replacement for their omega oil that i love so dearly and the night time anti-aging products that i use. any suggestions are welcome.

a couple other products that i love and should mention: bliss lid + lash wash makeup remover. it is the best eye makeup remover i have ever used. i have been using benetint on my cheeks and rosebud salve on my lips for the past 13 years. lastly, a new favorite of mine is aesop resurrection. a mothers day gift from my sweet husband and another splurge, but worth it.

care to share some of the products that you are currently loving?

SUMMER THINGS.

summer is just around the corner and the weather is about to get HOT! i am really thinking about chopping my hair off and the photo above is not helping the urge. having long hair in the middle of the humid texas summer results in wearing your hair up almost every single day. it just makes sense to chop it all off but i am big chicken.

i would go barefoot most of the summer if it weren't for the burning hot pavement. these gladiator sandals are right up my alley and affordable too! lastly this kilim clutch just screams summer to me. the colors, the texture, it's perfection. if only it hadn't already sold.

have a good weekend my friends. we will be working in the yard most of the time preparing for summer.
