Night Creams I Want AND Need To Try

night_creams_to_try

For the past couple of months, I had a nighttime routine that was working pretty good up until recently. A few weeks ago, I noticed my skin was starting to look dull and not as supple as it used to in the morning. I believe that the change in weather has caused my skin to need more overnight moisture that my current night cream by Palmers just couldn’t do anymore.

Therefore, I’m on the hunt for a new night cream. So, after creeping online, reading reviews, and watching testimonials on Youtube; I have concocted a list of night creams that have peaked my interest to not only moisturize my skin, but also help prevent aging and blemish fading. Like I said, options are a girl’s true best friend!

You Should Buy This Scrub

s958652-main-hero-300

Sometimes, when something is too good, why beat around the bush? Seriously, this walnut complexion scrub by Ole Henriksen is the truth. This scrub has the perfect amount of exfoliate power without it being to harsh on the skin. It leaves your skin soft and supple and your complexion clean and clear, Not to mention, the smell is borderline obsessive.

One thing that I really love about this scrub compared to other scrubs I’ve used in the past is the foaming action. I don’t know about ya’ll, but a love a good foaming product, It feels like all the impurities in your skin is just gliding away.

Anyway, a seriously long golf clap goes to Ole Henriksen and this awesome scrub.

Weekend Beauty Buys: Curls and Clear Complexions

WEBB_11032014

It’s been a minute since I’ve done a WEBB post in a while, but mainly due to the fact that I haven’t really been buying any new beauty products. However, now that the weather has changed, I was able to use this is an excuse to buy some new products. Most of these products are things I’ve been needing and/or wanting to buy and use.

  • Carol’s Daughther Marula Products – This collection from Carol’s Daughter was the main reason I went to Ulta, because this line is carried exclusively at Ulta. As I’ve mentioned, I’m starting to get back into wearing my natural curly coils and based on the Youtube and Instagram posts I’ve seen about this line, I have high hopes.
  • Sally Hansen Salon Polish in Sheer Bliss – If you follow me on Twitter, then you might have caught me tweet that I don’t have a gray polish. Well, I finally have one in my collection. I wore it this weekend and got loads of compliments.
  • Nads Facial Wax Strips – Eh, I have facial hair issues. Plus, I’m growing my eyebrows and I’m trying to tame them as minimally. as possible.
  • Mario Badescu Cucumber Cleansing Lotion – I know that I just created a list of my favorite toners, but I wanted to add this toner from Badescu. However, I couldn’t remember if I loved this one or not, because it had been years since I used it. So, I repurchased it this weekend and I’ll keep you updated.
  • NYX Lip Pencil in Peek-A-Boo Natural – My favorite nude pencil. The perfectly pink and neutral nude matte lip.
  • bliss Facial In A Box – Well, I can scratch this off my list of skincare products I want to try. I love facials!

Best Toners For Every Skin Type

Best_toners_2014_stainedcou

Aside from moisturizing, my favorite step in my face washing process is toning my skin. People tend to overlook the importance of having a toner in their skin care regimen. Typically, toners are used to calm your skin down after cleansing and/or exfoliation and prep it for your serums and moisturizers. However, most toners offer other benefits other than calmness.

In my 30+ plus years on this planet, I’ve had the pleasure to use quite a few toners. Some have been ridiculously amazing and some have been the equivalent of dirty toilet water that broke my skin out for weeks (Hello, Sea Breeze!) and added to my personal “Never Buy Again” list.

Luckily, I’ve had way more hits than misses and I’ve concocted a list of some of my favorite toners I’ve ever used and borderline abused. Maybe, your dream toner is below, waiting for you to try it!

  • fresh Rose Floral Toner – This is perfect for those of you blessed with normal skin who would just like to add a calming and revitalizing toner after cleansing your skin
  • Perricone MD Intensive Pore Minimizer – All my oily/acne prone peeps, this is the toner for you. Perricone MDs is very potent and helps minimize enlarged pores, smooths skin, and gently exfoliates without drying the skin. This is a holy grail for my super oily summertime skin.
  • Clinique Clarifying Lotion 2 – If could only use one toner for the rest of my life, Clinique’s toner in formula 2 would get my coins for my eternity, because of it’s gentleness, refreshing feel , and refining my pores for a clear complexion.
  • Lancome Tonique Confort Rehydrating Toner – People with dry skin tend to be the main culprits when it comes to skipping toners, because they feel it dries their skin even more. Actually, there are toners that help tone, calm, and hydrate your skin and Lancome makes one of the best rehydrating toners to give the softest and smoothest skin. Plus, it smells devine.
  • SK-II Facial Treatment Essence – The most luxurious toner that will tone, exfoliate, moisturize refreshes, and smooths your skin. Its pricey, but it’s the queen bee’s knees!

Pardon My Shiny Skin

clq_7FRM_402x464

For the past few weeks, I’ve noticed that my skin has been really oily and shiny. Even my typical dry spots have been on the slick side. So, once again, I’m on the hunt for a product to change this dilemma in my skin.

Usually, when I have a skincare issue, one of the first lines that I check for a solution is Clinique. They have rarely let me down and their products are usually hypo-allergenic, which is sensitive and acne-prone skin friendly.

So, after browsing their site, I tend to drop some of my hard earned money on their Stay-matte hydrator from the pore refining solutions line.

“After mattifying instantly, this oil-free formula supplies needed hydration while curbing excess oil and shine for 8 hours. Even T-Zones feel fresh, stay comfortably matte. Instantly refines the look of pores with unique light-scattering optics. Over time, pores seem smaller. Non-acnegenic.”

Sounds like just what my skin has been crying for to stop the shine. I’m sold!
