Clinique review.

Hi guys/gals!

I know I haven't blogged in a few weeks, but I've been in the midst of getting accustomed to to my new job. However, I am back in full effect! Did ya miss me?!

Over the Christmas holiday I was gifted with a pretty sweet Clinique skincare set. I wanted to make sure that the items were fully used and reviewed adequately before giving my opinion. I've been meaning to write this post, but we all know how life happens. 

Inside contents: (left to right) Mild facial soap, clarifying lotion, moisturizer, and age defying eye cream. 


I have extremely sensitive skin. Nearly every product I've ever tried is just too much for me. With this facial soap I can honestly say that it lives up to it's name. A little goes an amazingly long way, and your skin is bound to feel super clean after each wash. Unlike some brands that may leave a bit of build up behind. 


The liquid clarifying lotion is a wonderful product I'm sure, but the "tingle" is a tad harsh for me personally. I found myself having to spray water on my face to cool the burn. No bueno! But as I've said many times before, my skin is uber sensitive so I have to take it easy. I ended up giving this to my mom who absolutely adores it. Tomato. Tomatoe. 

A great moisturizer is very essential to every beauty gal, because no matter how you put it, makeup never looks awesome over a dry face. I love this particular brand because it left my skin feeling like silk after each use. Just a tiny drop the size of a penny was enough coverage for my entire face/neck area to last all day. 

The Repairwear eye cream is what I was looking forward to the most, because my darker circles have been a pain in my side forever. I used the cream each night before bed over the last four months. The main difference that I've noticed is the tightening in the under her area, but still nothing to brighten! All and all, the product is helping to defy aging, but I'm still on the quest for something to minimize the darker circles. 

Overall,

I would puchase the facial soap, eye cream and moisturizer again. Clinique lives up to it's name as a trusted brand in the skincare world. They rarely dissappoint.

Unexpected Gem.

I absolutely adore finding new products that work best for my skin. Every season I like to switch my routine up a bit to be accommodating of the new weather conditions. What worked for me in the Winter is totally different than Spring. 

This past season in Virginia was the coldest, and did a number on my skin overall. I had to really work hard to keep myself moisturized and glowing.

Moving on, I've been looking for a new exfoliating scrub that will peel back the layers of Winter, without stripping me of the essentials. I planned on going shopping this weekend, but lo and behold, a gem was literally right under my nose. I noticed while at my sister's house that she had a bottle of Palmer's Exfoliating Facial Scrub on her vanity.



 I can't front and say that my eyes didn't twinkle and glisten. I quickly checked the product out to see if it was something that could work for me. The facial cream promised to do a few important things that are absolutely beneficial

3 sexy makeup trends to try this Spring.

If you're more inclined to live life looking at the glass half full, than spending it complaining about the small things, then I'm sure we can agree that Spring is more than just a pollen filled, rainy season. It's actually a time to kick Winter out of the door, and welcome in the brightness of new, and warmer days to come. Today I've complied a list of the top 3 must-try beauty trends to try for Spring. 

1. WHITE EYELINER.  

Many makeup artists have a secret trick of using white eyeliner to create the illusion of wider eyes on clients. It also provides a very awake look to brighten up any day. But, white liner has also been seen on just about every catwalk across the world lately, which means it's making a mean comeback. And in true form, I'm definitely here for it. It's best used on the inner corners, or on the waterline to achieve the coolest results without looking ghostly. 



Blush into Spring!

'Tis the season to rock PINK. 


If you're ever in doubt about what to wear, just throw on a dash of pink. It's a beautiful shade that lightens moods, is forever feminine, and always on trend. With Spring in full swing, there's no better time than now to indulge in the most girliest color known to mankind. And if you don't believe me, just ask Elle Woods. Ok, maybe that was a bit of an exaggerated example. (No one wants to look like a 10 year old playing dress up). However, for all my ladies who are looking to spice up their wardrobe, and push the black to the back for a few, just read on for more details on ways to incorporate a little pink in your wardrobe.

Of course, everyone's favorite fly girl turned fashionista, Jennifer Lopez is the perfect person to lead by example.
