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!!!

A Review

Now that we have entered into a new year I have been looking for fun new things to add to the blog. 
.
As the thoughts began twirling through my brain I received an email from the wonderful CSN store. 
.
Should I do giveaways, reviews, project parades??
.
Well I must start somewhere so how about a review??
.
Then I must thank all of you lovely readers so I do have something in return for you all. 
{Stay tuned for that soon}

So back to that review.... remember that sneak peek of my master bath??
.
The direction we are wanting to go in with our bathroom is sleek, chic, and modern.
.
I have looked through several of their stores and have found the perfect pieces of modern decor to incorporate into the design!!
.
Can't wait to show you guys!!
