ITEM OF THE WEEK is a weekly series on Stained Couture that highlights a product we’re currently loving. This week: Vichy Mineral Clay Mask
As usual, I’ve been obsessing over skincare products. However, now that the weather is sizzling, my oily skin and enlarged pores have been getting all of my attention. Since I’ve been taking better care of my skin by trying to eat better and drinking more water, my skin is looking pretty good. Unfortunately, all the freshest veggies and gallons of water can’t hide the fact that I have large pores. FYI, you can’t permanently make your large pores smaller. Through different products and treatments, you can minimize their appearance. One product that recently ran across and fell in love with is Vichy Mineral Pore Purifying Clay Mask. Interested in learning why this mask is worthy to be this week’s Item of The Week and/or you’re looking for a mask for oily skin? Well, keep reading!

Last week, the BF got mad curious while looking in my medicine. The curiosity didn’t stem from seeing any questionable medications or the abundance of products perfectly crammed on each shelf. Instead, he was confused as to why I had so many different face washes since I only had “one face”. Of course, my first reaction was to roll my eyes while mumbling “men”, but I then followed it with a thorough breakdown of why I needed each one. In the end, we reached an understanding. Also, I found my speech for justifying my multiple face washes, in case anyone else wants to question my need having more face washes than I have excuses for avoiding the gym.
Before you proceed, please note these aren’t all my cleanser/face washes. Trust me when I say I have multiple face washes – I have multiple. However, these are just the ones that I’ve been reaching for the most over the past couple of months.

Occasionally, I get on a spell of constantly buying an item in different formulas, colors, and/or sizes. The latest victim of this spell was face masks and I have collected so many face masks over the past couple of weeks. I had so many various formulas that I could’ve spread them all over my bed and roll around in the. However, instead of that obvious bad idea, I wondered decided that I would treat myself and skin to face masks everyday. At the time, it sounded like the best idea, challenge, and #goal all wrapped up in one. Plus, I had countless jars, bottles, and packets of masks that I could use for this experiment of living my life to the fullest.
Before I entered into this luxurious sounding adventure, I made sure to simplify my skincare routine and made sure to stick to only face masks that I’ve either used before or from a brand that I trust. No new friends, indeed. Keep reading to see all of the masks and sheet masks that I slide over my face everyday for a week.

ITEM OF THE WEEK is a weekly series on Stained Couture that highlights a product we’re currently loving. This week: Garnier SkinActive Micellar Foaming Face Wash.
One of the things I dread to do after a long day is wash my face. Although I love the feeling of clean skin, I don’t always enjoy the process. Not to mention, the main objective is to thoroughly clean your face, which can be a process. Although I still love and primarily double cleanse my face, I wanted a good one and done product. While spending way too much time in Ulta, I walked up on this micellar foaming face wash. Like most skincare junkies, I love micellar water. However, I was intrigued this this was a micellar foaming cleanser and felt like I needed to give this a try for a few reasons.
