My skin is on the oily side of things, so I try to keep my pores as small as possible and cleanse my face twice a day in order to prevent breakouts. I am a fan of the brand AcneFree for washing my face off (they have a good benzol peroxide one), and I use Cetaphil for a oil-free moisturizer. I like to use Epiduo for a toner, and I have heard that Effaclar Duo by La Roche-Posay is a great alternative, and a much cheaper way to keep your skin looking clear.It doesn’t have apadapaline in it, which is what seems to make Epiduo work so great, but it does have LHA and benzol peroxide. I haven’t seen a bad thing about it while researching it online, so I am hoping I turn out loving it.

I have only used it a couple times.. so far, so good! It seems to shrink any bumps, the redness goes away, and the overal appearance of the blemish diminishes, just overnight! That’s exactly how Epiduo works, so I am satisfied thus far. Hopefully it won’t dry out my face, but I am looking to only use it when a large bump appears, or for an emergency, at least until I run totally out of Epiduo.

005008

I have been trying to stay away from coral for years now because orange-y colors don’t think look very flattering with my skin tone. That being said, this coral color from tarte is the prettiest looking shade I have found. It isn’t a crazy bright orange that washes me out. It is actually kind of sheer, with a shimmery glitter to it. It isn’t glossy or super matte, but it’s a very natural hue. I like wearing it to the gym since it’s a subtle shade.

CHI, Firm Hair Spray, hair spray, Miss Universe, review, Rock Your Crown, Style Illuminate

017

This CHI hairspray lasted me a few months, using it daily. It’s called the Miss Universe Style Illuminate firm hairsptay. I really like that it was a hard hold like the bottle says, I enjoy feeling the stiffness because my hair is naturally so baby-soft! I tease my crown area everyday, well, at least everyday I am going to present myself in front of others! The thing that I disliked about this spray is the smell. It is one of those scents that at first has an almost bitter smell and then you smell sweetness. Some of the best perfumes have pungent odors paired with good-smelling fragrances to create a certain boldness and make certain tones pop within the aroma. Or, maybe this was just a bad bottle and it’s not really supposed to have that odor! Ha, I hope not!

001

As you can see I was very bored with my hair so I went with a change up! I pushed it back with some gel, the Hard Up blue gel by Sexy Hair, and it laid back over my teased crown fairly well. The tank top is from Express and I love neutral tones so much, and I also love how it is low cut, skin tight, and has vertical ribbing all around! The capri pants were given to me from a co-worker and I wasn’t too keen on them at first because I hadn’t worn capri jeans since I was younger, but they fit really well. I am so cold-natured, I can def. use them when I am out at a restaurant. Actually, the night I wore this I went with family to a pizza place that was freezing, so it worked out. Bracelet is Marc Jacobs, wedges by Coach. Tan by Lancome.

006

My lipstick is THE MOST TALKED ABOUT THING I WEAR. All of my co-workers and female clients gaze at my new matte lipsticks and ask me where they can purchase them. I will do a post on all of them before too long, stay tuned! I believe this one is L.U.V by Kat Von D.

How To: Strawberry Banana Smoothie

009

I love making stuff in the blender, it’s easy, healthy, filling, and way better than having to waste time eating a meal. I usually make up smoothies myself, I don’t really have a guide or a specific recipe, I just use the fresh fruits I have available. This was a very good consistancy though, so I am going to keep making this one.

All it takes…

  • One ripe banana
  •  Seven or so strawberries
  • Cup of Milk
  • Tsp. of Salted Caramel (glass jar kind)
  • Touch of Cinnamon
  •  Couple tsp.of whipped cream
