Let's Talk Skin Care

A couple of months back we talked about mascara.

I got several emails saying those of you would like to know what everyone was using for her skincare routine.

I must admit, mine has been quite simplified and I stick to just a few companies.

After years of battling minor breakouts in the "t-zone" I invested in a 10 facial series of microdermabrasion, followed by prescription Retin-A and minocycline.

After about a year my skin had cleared and the esthetician recommended I begin a very mild and as natural as possible regimine for my skin.

At the time a girlfriend was using Bobbi Brown products so I gave them a try, here I am all these years later and I ALWAYS use her mild cleanser.

I rotate Trish McEvoy Toner, Burt's Bees Toner and Bobbi Brown Toner.

And for removing eye make up I rotate between Trish and Bobbi Brown.


These are the 3 products I am currently using!

For a moisturizer I rotate between Clinique Moisture Surge, and by luck of a Sephora sample, Laura Mercier Tinted Moisturizer (best for the summer and I don't wear foundation then!!)


The only other thing I do to my skin for maintenance purposes is the occassional mask.

I have had this bottle for seriously 3 years. I do maybe 8-10 masks in a calendar year and I still feel it working!!

I have never bought much Origins but this mask I am SOLD on.

So your turn, share what you do. 

Would love to do a round up post of people's favorites and why they use what they do!!!

Lets talk Mascara

I have a confession... I will pay big bucks for really good mascara!
Lancome, Diorshow, Chanel, Bobbie Brown, Givenchy, basically you name it and i have forked over as much as $50.00 a tube to luscious lashes.

Recently i have not been 100% pleased with the Trish McEvoy thickening mascara.

On a whim in target a few weeks back i ran down the makeup aisle and just grabbed a tube. 6.00, worth a shot.

Can i just say Loreal Voluminous is AHmazing!!!

No flaking, no dark circles from wearing off, good coverage and stays with you all day!!!

I am shocked that a drug store quality is rivaling my coveted clinique high def and Diorshow Blackout Mascara!!

Whats your favorite mascara?

Have you tried loreal??
