Want A Glowing skin in the Winter ?

winter face care


First Aid Beauty face moisturizer / First Aid Beauty oatmeal face mask / Clarins / Cetaphil / Nivea lip treatment, $4.70

Cold weather can be extremely damage for our skin, It can get really dry and no one wants that. I have decided to write a blog post on different steps you that  should take for your winter skincare routine. it's is important to  switch up your skincare routine every season. Products that will keep your face from getting dry patch areas and just very dehydrating. Here are some steps to keep your face hydrated, and free of flaky or cracking skin during the winter time. Cetaphil face wash it's just one of the best facial cleaner I have ever used. It's great for all year round and it's good for dry skin. A face toner that will make your face smooth and natural. A good hydrating moisturizer that I recommend is the brand First Aid Beauty it's not oily or sticky and it's great for when your face is itchy, flaky and very dry and overall for everyday. A lip balm that  is very hydrating and have a high percentage of Petroleum or cocoa butter. I use the Nivea it's very good and affordable.  The last product I included is A face scrub, It is important to use a face scrub during the winter as I said before for the flaky skin and it will also smooth your face. It's good to use it at night before going to bed and applying your face moisturizer. It removes all your dead skin cells. It is very important for everyone to take care of their skin especially us girls, we always want to look our best and trust me I have been their with my skin all red burning and dry and it's not comfortable or pretty. That's why is important to take care of our skin early instead of lamenting over it.

My Everyday Makeup

makeup

 NARS Cosmetics / MAC Cosmetics matte makeup / COVERGIRL black mascara / MAC Cosmetics / Bobbi Brown

As a college student Most of the time I don't have time to use many products on my face. I tend to go more for the natural look. I don't use Foundation, I just use it if I have too or for special occasions. I keep these products in a separate place on my drawer because they are easy to find when I am on a rush. Of course before I put on any makeup in my face I use a face moisturizer and eye cream. Then I use a BB Cream, I bought the Garnier Fructis it's affordable and it works perfect for my skin, Then I use concealer for my dark circles due to my lack of sleep and over studying. After I apply those products I use a loose powder, blush, Mascara and last but not least some lip gloss. That's basically it. It might be a little too plain for you guys but It's perfect for me. I am presentable and at the same time still looking like me.  I think this is a great College look for everyday or even if you just don't feel like applying too much on your face.

Christmas is around the corner and I hate to do last minute shopping. Living in NYC can get pretty crowded and I am not the type of person to stand in long lines or battle to get an Item So I started looking online what I can get.
As a college student I am constantly on a budget. I have many female cousins and friends, and I always love to buy them a little something. I did my research and these are some items that you can give to your girlie's and really  affordable for any kind of taste. Remember that you're buying for them not for you, and have an open mind of what they might like and invest on something that could be for the long term.
