Current Favorite Product - CeraVe

This product has been in my daily skincare routine for the past 3 weeks. It's a great everyday lotion for dry skin. It provides the perfect amount of moisture to my skin, without clogging my pores. I have extremely sensitive skin and this lotion does not irritate my skin at all, as it claims in the product description. A big thumbs up for that! 

Aside from being non-comedogenic, having hyaluronic acid as a main ingredient was the reason I was intrigued to use this product. It's main ingredients are ceramides and hyaluronic acid. These two ingredients work together to help hydrate and nourish the skin.

I use this lotion twice a day (morning and night). I specifically like that it has no scent and that my skin maintains its moisture even after I wash the lotion off. I like this product so much that I decided to dedicate a blog post to it. Here is where you can find this lotion. Please read more reviews before purchasing, as everyone's skin reacts differently when it comes to face products.  

Allure Beauty Box - May 2016

My May Allure Beauty Box came a little late but it was so worth the wait. We've always been told not to judge a book by its cover, but I totally did with this beauty box! As soon as I laid eyes on this red box I knew this was the subscription to keep!  

I became even more of a fan when I saw what was inside. It was the best combination of beauty and face products I would want to try. I specially loved the little booklet that came with the box, which includes a list and description of all the products that are in the beauty box.

Foreo Luna Play: The first thing that caught my eye was this little blue devise that looked foreign yet supper interesting. This is a golf-ball size, disposable facial-cleansing brush that is meant to last for 100 uses. It feels very soft and the best part about it is that since it's made of silicone, there is no need to worry about bacterial growth! 

Foreo Day & Night Cleanser: Based on what I read about these two products in the booklet and online, I learned that they were designed to complement the Luna devise. The day cleanser's main ingredients are mandarin and bergamot extracts, and apricot-seed oil. It has a citrusy scent and feels like a cream which transforms to foam when you massage it onto damp skin. The night cleanser's main ingredients are sweet-almond oil and coco-caprylate/carpate. It has a gel-like consistency and it has a very faint almond scent. Unfortunately since anything made of almonds breaks my skin out, I won't be able to try the night cleanser! 

Make Up For Ever Smoky Extravagant Mascara: This is a volumizing, lengthening, and curling mascara in an ultrablack shade. I am so excited about this mascara and can't wait to try it. I will do before and after photos once I try it.

Lauren B. Nail Polish in Santa Barbara Surf: This is a very pretty green-blue polish that is a perfect summer color. It retails for $18!! I have never owned a polish this expensive but can't wait to try it on my nails. ;)

Pixi Mattelustre Lipstick in Rose Naturelle: This lipstick has a creamy consistency. The color is not exactly the "rose" color that we are familiar with as it has a trace of brown in it. Very natural and a perfect everyday lip color. It claims to have hyaluronic acid, and vitamins C and E to keep lips hydrated and plump. 

Equitance Brightening Serum + Spot Corrector: A dark-spot brightening serum that is supposed to minimize the appearance of spots caused by acne, hormonal changes, and sun exposure. I started using this serum about a week ago. I'm focusing on one acne spot specifically. Based on what I have read I should be seeing results in about 4 weeks. Once again I will be doing a before and after review on this. 

Cotz Flawless Complexion SPF 50: Last but not least is this noncomedogenic mineral sunscreen by Cotz.  It claims to protect the skin from UVA and UVB rays without clogging pores!!!! Could it get any better than that?! ;) I've read very promising reviews on this product and I really hope that it won't break my skin out like all the other sunscreen's I've tried. 

Mini Ulta Haul Featuring Murad Essential-C Day Moisture SPF 30

I normally don't wear sunscreen because every sunscreen I've tried is either too heavy on my skin or causes me to break out. Recently, one of my friends recommended that I try Murad's Essential-C Day Moisture Broad Spectrum SPF 30 from Sephora. She said it wasn't heavy and did not irritate her skin. This moisturizer is a bit on the pricy side for my budget but three weeks ago I gave in and decided to make the purchase. I ended up ordering it from Ulta.com instead of Sephora because at that time Ulta was having a promotion for a free 22 piece beauty bag with any $60 online purchase. I took advantage of that and ordered my moisturize from Ulta. :) 

After receiving my order I wasn't too upset about how much I had spent on my moisturizer anymore because of all the additional items I received with it. Out of all the beauty products I received, I am most excited to try Murad's Rapid Age Spot and Pigment Lightening Serum, Benefit's Dew the Hoola, It's a 10 Miracle Leave-in Product, and Butter London's Double Decker Mascara. 

This cute makeup bag held the 22 piece travel-size beauty product. It's not exactly my style but i couldn't resist taking a photo of it. ;)
