My skin care routine

Night routine:

If I’m wearing any makeup that day I use Neutrogena's Makeup Remover Cleansing Towelettes! They are a must have. I wipe off all of my face makeup and eye makeup before I wash my face & if I’m really lazy I will just use the wipe & go to sleep . I feel like the wipes do clean off my face really well. I HIGHLY recommend you TRY them.




Next I wash my face with Cetaphil Daily Facial Cleanser, Normal to Oily Skin! I love this cleanser so much. It’s so gentle and non-irritating.




I also use the Clarisonic Mia! I feel like the Clarisonic combined with my cetaphil cleanser is why my skin has improved so much.






After I dry off my face I apply clinique dramatically different moisturizing gel.





Morning routine:

In the morning I will wash my face with the cetaphil cleanser but most days I will skip the Clarisonic.
After that I apply my Clinique moisturizing gel.

Easy & simple yet works so well for my skin.

Bath & body works

Now who doesn’t love bath & body works?! The great thing about bath and body works is that they are ALWAYS having sales & great deals. A week ago they had a sale going on which was buy a 14.5 oz. candle & pretty much get one free. Normally a 14.5 oz. candle costs $19.50 but in this case you pretty much paid 19.50 for two candles. I had to take advantage of this great deal; it was pretty much a steal!!! I ordered four candles all together & only paid 32 dollars not including shipping. I ended up paying 8 bucks for each candle thanks to a coupon code I found online at the time.
Now the first candle I knew I had to buy was the aromatherapy lavender vanilla. I had a small candle in this scent before & I loved it. I have problems falling asleep, I toss & turn throughout the night so I went on YouTube & found out that some people swear by this candle. Now I understand the meaning of a good night sleep. This candle may not be for everyone because it has a really strong scent but I love it. It smells exactly like vanilla & lavender. I swear to you after I light this in moments my eyes start to shut. I feel so relaxed & calm. I love it. TRUST me, if you have issues going to sleep at night try out this candle. Right now they are having a sale where you buy three 1.6 oz. Candles for only 5 dollars which is a great way to try out new candles without hurting your wallet & worrying you won’t like the scent.






Since I loved the aromatherapy line so much I wanted to try a different scent & purpose. I can really get stressed out sometimes & it drives me crazy, I saw that they had a candle that was called stress relief & I thought PERFECT I will love this especially because it was a spearmint candle. BOY was I wrong. I really don’t care for this scent at all! Some of you may like it but it’s just not my cup of tea. It reminds me of massage oil that they use in a spa. What I can tell you is that it did make me feel peaceful but I don’t know if I can bare the smell.






I also ordered another aromatherapy candle in black currant vanilla which is a sensual candle. I’m not sure what sensual is meant for, I can only imagine haha but this was the first candle I used when I got my package & I can tell you I wasn’t feeling sensual lol I was actually feeling sleepy and calm. At first I didn’t really like the scent, it smelled like men’s cologne but with a fruity twist. When I actually burned this candle I started to love this scent. My boyfriend even said he loved how my room smelled, so if you have a male living in the house or a male in your life I’m pretty sure you’ll be safe burning this candle without him feeling like he’s in a flower garden or a girly environment. =]







The last candle I have is the sweet pea scent & I love it. It’s an oldie but a goodie, it’s an original bath & body works scent. Before the company came up with new & improved scents this was one of the first scents the company sold & it’s been around for ages. When I was in high school a few years back I remember all the girls passing around the sweet pea lotion during class. I will forever love this scent & buy it as long as bath & body works makes it.







If you love candles & think I should try a scent that you love, please let me know xoxo

ELF MUST HAVES

Most of you beauty lovers already know about ELF ( eyes, lips, face) .com & you know most likely know how affordable everything is. When I first started off with makeup I didn’t feel the need to spend more money then I should on products I didn’t know how to use. When I found out about ELF I was excited to experiment with all types of beauty products at a good affordable price. I personally think that ELF is an amazing company for those younger ladies that are just starting out with makeup & might not have hundreds of dollars to blow on cosmetics. Now don’t get me wrong, ELF is not just a brand for those of us in our teens. Most of my makeup is from ELF because I truly am in love with their products. I own a lot of high end brand makeup that doesn’t even compare to ELF. Just goes to show you that spending more doesn’t always mean having better quality.
I am going to be telling you guys which items I truly love & use from this company. Basically telling you which products are a MUST have.

Cream eyeliner- I believe the cream eyeliners are from their studio line & cost about 3$ I own 4 different colors (plum purple) (midnight)(black)(gunmetal)
I love them all so much. Best cream eyeliners, & really cheap. My favorite colors are black & gunmetal. I have yet to try the other colors.




Conditioning lip balm SPF 15 – IM IN LOVE with these lip balms, they are amazing all year round but during the summer it was my main MUST have. I love the smell; it reminds me of mac lip products. It has a hint of vanilla but also smells like sunscreen. Some of you may not like the smell of sunscreen but I love it because it reminds me of summer.
I have two different ones (peaceful pink) & (nice & natural) I love them both very much. Peaceful pink is a beautiful light pink & is extremely pigmented I can’t believe it’s just a lip balm. Nice & natural is a beautiful nude color. – HIGHLY RECOMMENED (3$ each)







Eyebrow kit- (dark) I love this little eyebrow kit. It’s so small & easy for me to just throw in my hand bag. It comes with a cream & a powder. I ONLY use the cream I don’t feel the need to set my eye brows but that’s just my preference. If you’re looking for a good eyebrow kit & don’t feel like spending your whole paycheck I would definitely recommend this.







Translucent matifying powder- I can’t say much about this except that it’s a good powder to have in your hand bag when you’re on the go. If you don’t use the ELF shine eraser sheets or you left them at home than your next BEST BET is this powder. I use this all the time.






Shine eraser (oil blotting sheets) – I never leave my house without these amazing little sheets. They are ONLY a dollar & come with 50 sheets. I use to pay 5-6 bucks on my clean & clear ones which was a WASTE of money. You use these sheets & throw them away there is no need to spend more than a dollar on blotting sheets. Whenever I order from ELF I make sure to add at least 5 of these sheets which would be the same amount of money for just ONE clean & clear pack of sheets.






Waterproof eyeliner pen – Not much to say about this eyeliner, it’s great. I’m not sure just how water proof it really is but it goes on nicely & it’s really easy to use. The color payoff is amazing. I love it. ONLY ONE DOLLAR! A MUST HAVE!






There will be a part 2 for ELF MUST HAVES ..
I can’t wait to order some new goodies from ELF to try out, but if you love something from ELF that you think is a MUST have please let me know!!!

Cupcake heaven


Ladies i couldn't help myself, i have a huge problem. It's not only a shopping addiction it's a soap collection. I keep ordering & buying more, & before i get a chance to use anything i end up with a bunch of products from lush & Ariel's Secret Garden. TWO of my favorite soap shops. =]



What i ordered this time was from Ariel's Secret Garden. She had made a whole new & improved famous CUPCAKE soaps for her spring collection =]
& because she used my favorite scent ( Chanel Chance) i HAD to buy it!!! What's better then a cupcake soap that smells like your favorite perfume? ahhh i love it!!!

I ended up ordering a gift box set with six babycakes cupcake soaps. 3 pink Chanel & 3 blue Naughties cupcake soaps, 1 cupcake bath bomb & a teachers pet bath bomb.





I can't tell youu how much i adore these cute little cupcake soaps. I honestly don't think I'll ever use any of them only because they are soo adorable. I put them all around my dresser for decoration!!! I might have to order some more just to actually use some. =] The ones i ordered were the baby cupcake soaps but on her website you could order the normal size cupcakes. I'm pretty sure at this current time she only has the Chanel Chance normal size cupcakes left. I'm not sure if she has any cupcakes left in stock since ALL her cupcake soaps get sold out fast but if you contact her maybe you can figure something out.



The cupcake bath bomb is one of my favorites. It makes your skin feel so soft. I recommend you guys try her bath bombs. & whats better then a cupcake bath bomb? it's cute & makes your skin feel amazing.

Lush valentine products =]


The Ex-factor &Magic Mushroom






although I'm pretty sure you can't get these products anymore, maybe if your lucky & your lush still has a few saved up but for most part these products are no longer available. I am so happy i got a chance to try them. The Ex-factor bath bomb is my new favorite which is very bitter sweet because i can no longer buy another one. =(
The Magic Mushroom was okay, but nothing special. It smelled really good just like the yummy yummy yummy shower cream, so i had high hopes for this bubble bar but i was disappointed.

Over all i had a great bath with both these products. =]







The Ex-factor is so cute & smells like vanilla musk. =]
it was fun watching it melt in my bath water, i kinda felt bad for the little guy haha

VIVA GLAM LADY GAGA LIPSTICK =]







I got my lady gaga lipstick in the mail today & i couldn't be happier. The color is so pretty. It's definitely out of my comfort zone since i stick to my nude colors such as my daily lipstick myth, but i think this is a really fun color to have for those special fun nights. I adore it.

It's going to be out for a year so don't you worry if it's sold out near you. =]
I DEFINITELY recommend this lipstick, & i need to get a back up of it, before the end of the year.
