Favorite Beauty Products Of The Moment

Untitled #575




Lately It has been feeling more like Summer than Spring. It has been super sunny and hot. The past two weeks have been super stressful due to  studying intensely for my Grad school Exam. I took the exam this Saturday i hope everything goes well. Now i can finally calm and pamper my skin. I have combinations skin but this winter left my skin very bad with a couple dry patches and dryness. On some days i would only used my every day cleanser Cetaphil and moisturizer with SPF and maybe when i had chance a mask. 

My plan for the next couple of weeks is to go back to my everyday routine. Sunday was all about relaxing and my skin. Not only face but all over. But since this post is only about face products i will try to keep it as short as i can. 

Due to my highly sensitive skin I have adapted my skin to a regimen where i don't use too many products especially products that i know won't irritate my skin. On this post you are going to see everything except an under eye cream. Just bought a new eye cream and want to try it for a week or so before i share with you my thoughts. 

I started using not long ago Clinique moisturizing gel due to that one of the girls from Sephora told me that gel penetrates to your skin while the lotion stays in the surface. I really love how the moisturizer glides softly around my face. 

Another favorite product of mine is the Origins Charcoal Mask. This mask is amazing not only are my pores less visible after i apply this on my skin but i feel my face brighter. It doesn't leave my surface oily and it's full of goodness. It has been one of the best investment. 

And my last favorite product is Coconut oil the holy grail !!! I mean DUH is COCONUT OIL . Have been using it for years. I can go on with a list of how i apply it or use it but this time i will give you an easy recipe. You will need 1/2 cup of coconut oil and 1/4 of a cup of Brown Sugar I buy organic.  

Take your stand mixer and mix it for 5 minutes. It will be the softest scrub on earth. I apply it once a week to my face and lips. I try to get all that dead skin from my face and boy does it work. It makes my face feel brand new i am telling you ladies is a must. You can also apply this all over your body before bathing.

XOXO Andrea

BB Cream Fascination

makeup


I know probably all of you have heard of the famous BB Cream but I am the kind of person that loves makeup but doesn't like a cakey face and that is why ninety percent of the time I  don't wear foundation. I just use it for special occasion or if I really need it.  I normally apply almost everyday concealer and powder that's what on my face normally. But as I am always in the search of new products and after hearing people talk so much about the famous BB Cream. I decided to go on a hunt to try the BB cream of course that I did my research and these were the most BB Creams that had the best review. I went to the Bloomingdale's Bobbi Brown makeup counter I told the costumer representative that  I was looking for the famous BB Cream she smiled and said, "come let me apply it to your face". and while she was applying she was telling me that it has SPF 30 and that is basically like a tinted moisturizer but with more coverage and not heavy at all. After she applied it to my face I loved it, my face felt so silky and soft and it was not heavy at all I told her I AM SOLD.  I have used it a couple of times now and I love it definitely a good investment. Here are other brands off BB creams from 7 dollars to 40 depending on your budget give it a try I am sure you will love it.
What I love about BB Cream
- It's a light product
- It has SPF
- Moisturize your face
- Long lasting
-Natural Finish
