Skin-care routine?

August 3, 2009

Ok, so I’m now in my mid-twenties (that is so weird to say!) and I’m still trying to pin down a basic skin and body care routine. It’s really weird I’m still in that stage of trying to find those products that will work for my skin. It doesn’t help that my skin keeps changing on me. I don’t break out as much as I used too. I really only break out occasionally now, usually when stressed. Which is great, of course. But with my oily skin now I’m just trying to find that routine that can help me keep my oil under control as well as find products that can help with hyper-pigmentation that are a result of my past breakouts. :/ Then, of course, the rest of my body has dry skin which is always a bummer. Anyway, I guess it’s just all about experimentation.

Does anyone out there have any suggestions for products or a routine to follow? Any help would be totally appreciated. :D

I’m Back and a Collective Haul

July 18, 2008

Sorry for being gone so long! I was on a little vacation. I was gone to Florida for a family reunion. It was for my Grandmother’s mother’s side of the family. We’ve never gone to that side’s reunions because of timing issues etc. Anyway, it was a lot of fun and I met a lot of new family. It was great! The reunion was in Jacksonville and we did some shopping and tours and we had a cookout. After the reunion my family went to spend a day in Charleston before coming home. It was amazing! I absolutely love the city of Charleston. One day was not enough. We plan on taking a longer vacation there in the future.

Anyway! I also have a small haul to share with you guys. It isn’t that big at all. And it’s really a collective haul since not all of it was bought from the same place.

Moving on, here is a pic of everything that I’ve bought first.

Top Row: Jessie’s Girl ‘Color My World’ Eyeshadows in Evergreen, Aqua, and Earthtone
Bottom Row: MAC paint pot in Indianwood, Jessie’s Girl ‘Bejeweled’ Eyeshadow Quad #2, and NYC ‘Skin Tight Denim Creme’ Nail Enamel

It’s a collection of things that I’ve bought the past week. I got the MAC paintpot from a CCO in Charleston and the rest is from Rite Aid. You can see the rest of the pics in my Flickr, the link is on the sidebar.

Sephora Haul!!!!

June 27, 2008

I’m so excited! I went to the Grand Opening of Sephora today. And that store is just amazing. They had everything I could ever want! It’s so gorgeous in there too.I didn’t buy much today because I didn’t really have the time that I wanted to really shop. I’ll have to go again next week when I can actually stay there for a while. But I did get some things.

Eyelash Curler; Retractable Powder Brush, Urban Decay Primer Potion

Anyway, you’ll be seeing a lot of these in the future I think. ;)

Also, I got my free sample from ‘Mario Badescu’ in the mail today. (Today is just turning out to be so awesome!) I’ll be trying them out to see if I want to use the products or not. To get free samples just go to this site and register and fill out their profile. You’ll get an email from them to get the free samples. And you don’t even pay for shipping like some other places make you do. :D Awesome! I never turn away free stuff. Here’s a pic of it.

That’s it for me for now. I have to get ready to go see ‘Wanted’ I’ll let you know what I think later.
