  • No BS Skincare: Vitamin C Serum, Retinol Night Cream, and Caffeine Eye Cream

    June 5, 2021 / 0 Comments

    No B.S. strives to revolutionize skincare with clean and effective products that deliver real results. While the FDA has banned 11 toxic and harmful ingredients from skincare, No B.S has banned 1,500 from theirs. They take pride in their clean skincare, not only through the high quality ingredients, but also through recyclable packaging and minimal waste. In addition, they give back to organizations such as Feeding America, She Recovers, and more! Now that is a philosophy I can stand behind. They kindly gifted me their Vitamin C+E Serum, Retinol Night Cream, and Caffeine Eye Cream to test out. As this brand was new to me, today I wanted to share with you my…

    Boxycharm Premium June 2020 Spoilers and Unboxing

    June 17, 2020 / 0 Comments

    Today, I'm sharing with you my unboxing of June's Boxycharm Premium!  You can find my unboxing of May's Boxycharm Premium here and Base Box here.  Boxycharm is my favorite beauty subscription box that provides 5 full-sized items for $25/month.  Boxycharm Premium is a tier above the Base box, and provides 6-7 full-sized items for $35/month.  You can subscribe to both the Premium and Base box simultaneously, and receive different items in each box.  What I like about Boxycharm is that the value of all the luxury products always well exceed the price (sign up here).

    Pixi Skintreats Retinol Skincare Collection Unboxing and First Impressions

    May 20, 2020 / 0 Comments

    Pixi Beauty is an affordable makeup and skincare brand that can be found online and at your local Target stores. A couple of months ago, they were kind enough to send me their entire Pixi Skintreats Hydrating Milky Collection (blogpost here), which I have been incorporating into my skincare routine. This week, after a particularly stressful day, I came home to a package on my doorstep, to my complete surprise 😭 I am so thankful and feel so blessed they had sent me their new Pixi Retinol and Jasmine Collection. Today, I wanted to share with you my unboxing of all these new goodies!

    My Current Nighttime Skincare Routine for Dry Skin

    May 13, 2020 / 1 Comment

    It has been almost two years since my last blogpost detailing my nighttime skincare routine (read here), so I figured we were long overdue for an update. As a reference, my skin type is very dry with hyper pigmentation and dark spots left over from hormonal breakouts. I am always rotating my skincare routine and trying new products that promise hydration and brightening.  The following products make up my current night time skincare routine.

    February 12, 2020 / 0 Comments

    Founded in 1989, Murad was introduced as the first brand of clinical skincare products, setting a new standard for high performance skincare.  Dr. Murad's vision was "to bring skincare professionals of all stripes together to work as a team, using scientifically proven formulas and technologies, to help people achieve the healthiest, most beautiful skin possible". Naturally, I was ecstatic when they were kind enough to reach out with the opportunity to test out their new Retinol Youth Renewal Skincare line!  This trio includes their Eye Serum, Skin Serum, and Night Cream.

    I am very diligent about my skincare.  I never ever go to bed without washing my face...and going through all my skincare steps.  I wish I had the same strong discipline about going to the gym ;) It is important to nurture and nourish the skin as that to me, is even more important than any makeup you wear on top.
