My Daily Skin Care Routine!!

Hey Everyone!!

A lot of you have asked me what my daily skin care routine is....so here it is! Its not secret, you just need to know what products to use for your skin type!

First of all, you need to figure out what type of skin you have. Is your skin oily, dry, sensitive, normal etc. 

Finding your skin type is the most common mistake when trying to treat or cleanse your face.

You have normal skin if:

• Your skin still looks fresh and clean by midday
• Your skin looks clear and is even in colour
• Your skin is soft and supple to the touch
• Your skin is neither greasy nor tight

You have dry skin if:

• Your skin looks old, is pale in color
• Your skin feels flaky and rough
• Your skin feels tight after washing
• Flaky patches starts to appear by midday

You have oil skin if:

• Your skin will appear shiny by midday
• You experience frequent outbreaks of acne and pimples
• Your skin has a shiny complexion most of the time

You have combination skin if:

• Your skin has oiliness in the T-zone and dryness on the cheeks
• Your skin feels dry in some areas and smooth in others
• You have occasional acne outbreaks in the oily areas

You have sensitive skin if:

• Your skin feels dry and itchy in some places after cleansing
•  Flaky patches and some redness may appear by midday
• Your skin will sting and itch after applying facial toner

Personally, I have sensitive skin and I find the Neutrogena works best for my skin. I haven't had any issues with these products thus far...

There are three important steps when cleansing your face; Cleanse, Tone, and Moisturize. This is very important to keep the moisture and equilibrium of your skin.

 I love this cleanser! It is not a foam (as the name might perceive), but has a pearly, thick consistency. It does not remove the moisture from my face at all. It leaves my skin feeling fresh and clean. It also removes waterproof makeup!

Firstly, you want to splash your face with some warm water. This product wont spread evenly and effortlessly without the moisture from the water on your face. All you need is one pump to gently wash your face. Using the tips of your fingers, move them in a circular motion all over your face and don't forget your neck!. Then gently remove the cleanser with water. Pat dry your face, try not to tug on your face with a rough towel as you may irritate the skin. 

After you have cleansed your face, the next step is toner! This product is alcohol-free so those with sensitive skin, like mine, it does not burn or itch after applying this product. Toner also helps remove excess dirt and oil and refine pores.

You can apply this product with a cotton ball, or cotton pad. Gently swab the toner all over your face.

After you tone your face, apply your moisturizer. This moisturizer is for sensitive skin, but they have specialized formulas for specified skin types such as this one.

This moisturizer is really nice. You only need a small amount, one pump, which goes a long way. Again, gently rub this into your face and neck.

Now you are done! :)

*Remember to cleanse your face twice a day, and never go to sleep with your makeup on!*

Hope this helped!!

Thank you for reading and have a great day!!

Everyday 'Drug Store' Makeup

Hey Everyone!


Here are a few products that I just adore from my local drug store (Shoppers/Wal-Mart etc.) that are quite inexpensive and work well with most skin tones and types....This is what I use on a regular/daily basis for my day/work makeup. You dont always need very expensive, high-end makeup to look glamourous! :p

This Revlon foundation is just great! It matches my skin tone perfectly and it's not too heavy or thick. It blends well and doesn't leave a 'cakey' or 'made up' look. Its just the right consistency to give coverage while allowing your natural skin to shine through. I find it applies best when used with a foundation brush (synthetic). Apply this foundation on parts of the face and blend rather than all over the face, all at once because it does tend to dry a bit quickly. The bottle does not contain a pump, therefore the product can either be poured on the back of your hand or on a clean palette and then applied with your brush. (Never dip your foundation brush into the bottle as it can contaminate your foundation)

After putting on my foundation I tend to set it with a loose powder rather than a pressed powder. This product by CoverGirl is very nice. It just adds another dimension to your foundation as it does have a bit of shimmer, giving you a sun kissed glow. I apply this product with a large foundation brush as opposed to the brush provided. Its packaging is a bit tricky as it twists and unscrews from the bottom. Transferring the powder from the container to the lid, on to the brush can be a bit messy!. 

I add a touch of blush to the apples of my cheeks to give the face a warmer look. This blush is very easy to apply with a blush brush and blends very well. They come in a matte or slight shimmer shade depending on the look you are going for.

I love this trio eyeshadow! Its great for quick on the go application, as it comes in a neat, compact, little package. The three colours work well for the lid, highlight and crease for more interest and contrast in a day look. I just use one brush for the whole eye as these shadows do not stain your brushes. The colours are on the shimmer side, making blending a bit easier.

I also use a black kohl eyeliner to add more definition to my eyes. I line the top and lower lash line with this very dark eyeliner. Its application is very smooth as its very soft. Its very easy on the eyes as you do not need to go over on the waterline multiple times for its true colour.

This CoverGirl mascara is my favorite drug store mascara! I just love the drama and length it adds to my lashes! :) It gives me great definition and makes my lashes look more full. The large brush helps with a faster application as I have big eyes, not so sure it would work well with those who have smaller eyes, but i still think its a great mascara :)

This lip gloss is a very nice neutral shade (not the pink colour in the bottle, but the swatch colour at the top), its called Iced Mocha. I've used this is many of my looks, but its definitely a great colour for day or night. It goes on creamy, not sticky and has a great smell, almost like berries! he he

*Note that the colours shown in some of the pictures are not the exact shade/colour of the products i personally use. The picture is just there to show the packaging and help you reference the product.*

Thank you so much for all the love and support!!!
