My Skincare Routine- Facewash & Clarisonic

Washing my face is the most crucial step in my skincare routine as no product is going to cure your acne if you don't make sure that your face is completely clean of any makeup residues before you put on any skincare product. To make sure that my face is completely clean, I usually use my Clarisonic Mia along with my nighttime facewash. I'm sure all of you know about the Clarisonic by now, but in case you don't it is basically a vibrating facebrush...

My Skincare Routine - Makeup Removers

Being a beauty addict I have quite an extensive skincare routine, so I've decided to break it up and go through each step one by one in details. The first thing I do when I get home is to take off my makeup; I like to do it as soon as possible because as much as I like makeup I want my skin to be able to breath and repair itself. Nuxe Reve de Miel Cleansing Gel is my latest favorite makeup remover for my face. It is an oil-based makeup remover...

My Go-To Skincare Products

My go-to skincare products are products that I always reach for when I have a bad skin day, whether when my skin is being extremely oily or dry, or when I'm breaking out like crazy, or if I just want to pamper my skin and make it look extra healthy. I've already talked about the Peter Thomas Roth Max Complexion Correction Pads in an earlier post, so click here if you want a more detailed review. It basically comes with 60 exfoliating pads saturated...

Current Favorites #1

I want to start this new segment on my blog where I talk about my current favorite beauty products. Although I'm constantly trying out new beauty products, I do want to make sure that I use a product for at least two weeks before I mention it on my blog, so I will try to do these posts every other week. First up is Buxom Lipcream in Berry Blast, which is probably the only lip gloss that I wear on a daily basis. It glides on the lips buttery...

My Current Obsession- Cream Blushes

For me, spring means glowy skin, and the best way to achieve that is to use cream blushes. I think that cream blushes can do so much for your skin- a sheer layer of it on your cheekbones can give you that really healthy dewy glow; you can also build up the color to give your face a natural tint. Cream blushes are suitable for all skin types, even for people with oily skin, as long as you have a good primer underneath and set it with a setting...

Drugstore Lip Favorites

In recent years, the drugstore has come out with some really great collections of lip products, which in my opinion are great competitors for some of the high-end lip products I own. These lip products shown above are some of my favorite lip products in general, and the great thing about them is that they are all under $10. I tried to arrange these lip products by brand, so let's start off with Revlon. In my opinion, Revlon has some of the best...

A Dupe for the Bobbi Brown Corrector

I'm sure all of you have heard of Bobbi Brown's infamous under-eye corrector; it is a cult favorite of many beauty gurus here on the internet. I obviously had to get it after reading and hearing so many great reviews about it ever since I became interested with makeup. It is a creamy concealer-like product that acts to correct dark circles and brighten up the under-eye area; you can also follow-up with a concealer if your under-eye dark circles are...

Nail Polish Haul

Now that spring is finally here, I've been in the mood to wear more bright colors. I typically don't wear a lot of jewelery on my hands just because I wash my hands a lot, so I find that wearing nail polishes is a great way to accessorize my hands. The first color is Butter London Jasper, which is a pretty pastel yellow color. A good yellow nail polish is hard to come by; a lot of the ones I've tried are really sheer and takes forever to build...

My Latest Skincare Savior- Peter Thomas Roth Max Complexion Correction Pads

My skin has always been congested and acne-prone, but lately it has been especially bad. I've been getting a lot of bumps in my T-zone due to congested pores, and I've also been breaking out like crazy. In desperate need for some new skincare items, I did some research online and stumbled onto the Peter Thomas Roth Max Complexion Correction Pads. It comes with 60 pads and each contains 10% glycolic acid and 2% salicylic acid. It claims to...
