Favorites: October 2013

As the seasons change I turn back to favorites that have been my tried and true moisturizing and exfoliating products. Colder weather means it's time to hydrate the skin, slap on darker nail polish, and pamper time in the shower/bath. Oils, glycolic acid, and black nail polish galore, check out my October Favorites in the video below!

Products Mentioned:

Carol's Daughter Monoi Repairing Conditioner
L'Occitane Cleansing & Softening Shower Oil with Almond Oil
Bobbi Brown 'Soothing' Cleansing Oil
Skin 79 Rose Moisture Mask
Alpha-H Liquid Gold
Estee Lauder 'Idealist' Even Skintone Illuminator
MAC Mineralize Blush Lured to Love (Divine Night Collection)
Burberry Sheer Luminous Pressed Powder No. 2 Porcelain
Yves Saint Laurent Mascara Volume Effet Faux Cils - Luxurious Mascara No. 5 Burgundy
Julep Cleopatra

In the video I mentioned that the L'Occitane Almond Oil 500 mL bottle is only available during the holidays. This is no longer the case and it can be purchased all year. However a great deal is rather than repurchasing the larger size, but getting refills for $12 cheaper for the same amount of product!

Hope  you enjoyed!

Favorites: March 2013

The beginning of March was cold and frigid but the sun came out this last week and caused an overhaul in my daily makeup routine. Out came the self tanner and away went the intensive moisterizers. I focused on contouring and chiseling out those cheekbones. Make sure to check out the video for more info on all the products.

Products Mentioned:
Alpha-H Anti-Aging Collection
Clarins Liquid Bronze Self-Tanning
By Terry Hyaluronic Face Glow
Real Techniques Expert Face Brush
Bobbi Brown Long-Wear Eye Pencil in Jet
MAC Pure Sculpture Pro Sculpting Cream
Kevin Aucoin The Sculpting Powder in Medium
Nume Argan Oil
Suave Kids Detangling Spray
True Blue Spa Algae Extract Malibu Smooth Body Scrub

Thanks for watching!
