Skin Care Favorites!

In order to have a successful makeup routine, one needs to begin with an even better skin care routine. With that being said, a clear and healthy face is essential to a flawless finish with your makeup. Prepping your face before applying is a very important step to avoid potential clogged pores and breakouts.

 Cleansers, exfoliators, moisturizers and primers are key factors to my personal routine. There are hundreds of products but finding one that will work best with your skin can be difficult, especially when wanting to stay under a budget. I have pictured a few of my favorite skin care products that all can be purchased for under $20 each! 

I currently am using the Soap and Glory Vitamin C Facial wash daily, the Queen Helene Mint Julep Masque 2-3 times a week and I prep my face after with the Revive Rosewater which always leaves my face feeling fresh and prepared for an application.

I would love to know your daily facial routines and products!!!

Growing up with an older sister, I wanted to be just like her. Just like every other younger sister in the world.  I wanted to dress like her, talk like her, have my hair just like hers and follow her everywhere that she went. I always wanted to play dress up in her closet and as we got older, she started wearing makeup so of course I wanted to follow right in her footsteps. Wanting to be just like my sister turned into me being obsessed with makeup.

I love to try new products that fall into the cosmetic category and review them by giving the pros and cons of them. I enjoy comparing the different brands and see what works best for my face. A few of my favorite high-end brands are Anastasia Beverly Hills, Smashbox and Tarte and I am a fan of the drugstore brands, Hard Candy and Maybelline!

My main focus is to advise young women with any common makeup tips. In addition to suggesting alternative products that may be easier on the pockets! I hope to entertain and educate individuals on the different brands of makeup and their purposes.

I would love to know all of your favorite brands and products!!
