Guess what?! I have more empties and garbage to show you! Skin&Co – Truffle Therapy Cleansing Oil I was sooooo upset with myself because I didn’t fully seal this bad boy and it *somehow* tipped over in the middle of the night (I’m blaming the fiancé) and a third of it’s contents were lost to the bathroom counter! I know I have too many products anyway but I was actually thoroughly enjoying this oil! It was taking off my makeup and dare I say leaving my skin moisturized at the same time?! This was definitely good to both me and

Paula’s Choice Skin Perfecting Gel with 8% AHA
Anyone remember when I discussed the disappearing blackheads and the Triple Action BHA Gel? Well, I decided to try it’s cousin, the skin perfecting gel that works with AHAs instead of BHAs and now I’m ready to reveal… MY OPINION. (Overly dramatic but it’s hard to spice up a beauty review sometimes). Let’s just say… This did everything the BHA stuff didn’t do. And what I mean by that, is it purged the holy hell out of my skin and then left me looking like a ate some kind of glow-bomb. Which I am definitely not opposed to. I mean,
Paula’s Choice – RESIST Skin Revealing Body Lotion 10% AHA
I’ve mentioned before on here that I have heinously dry skin. My legs are usually in a state of red alert because I’ll scratch them bloody without even realizing it. Part of this is due to medication and part of it is due to sensitivity to lavender which finds its way into all sorts of skincare products but hides itself behind the ingredient “fragrance”. Ugh. My skin is doing much better due to this lotion BUT, I’ll have to be honest. At first, I didn’t think it worked all that great. And I was all bummed because I was going
Face Full of Reviews #3
NARS – Illuminator in “BLKR” I put this ALL OVER MY FACE first thing, and I love the healthy glow it gives. I felt all radiant and gorgeous like I was ready to face the world AND the party I was about to go to. Cargo – One Base Concealer + Foundation I feel like I’ve talked about this product ad nauseam, but I feel it’s worth a mention that I didn’t use foundation (I don’t care what the title says, this particular product is only good for concealing), and only dabbed this on my discolored spots. I loved how
The Edits – 1
You know, I make a *real* effort to make sure all photos of me are untouched. No photoshop, no filters, no fiddling around with the lighting. Which means most of my pictures end up… Bad. I’d love to give a more vibrant description but let’s just call a spade a spade. So let me do the edits. Where I put on makeup I would never leave the house in, face tune my heart out and go VSCO like no other. I’m not immune people. You can think of this as a sneak peak of sorts. I guess. I mean, why
Five Favorite Things – September 2019
Slip Silk Pillowcase – I can’t get over how great this is. Helps your skin and hair just by falling asleep on it?! Yes, please! This is definitely pricier than other silk pillowcases on the market, but I promise you I can feel the difference in quality. This is far ahead of its other competitors. GHD Platinum Hair Straightener – I wrote about this as being one of those ridiculously priced beauty gadgets that I spent money on but… I really like it. It makes my hair look almost healthy. AND, it straightens better and faster than any other flatiron
Trash Talk, aka “Empties” #1
I know that this has been rehashed and talked about ad nauseam by many beauty bloggers and YouTubers, but the idea of keeping my garbage around so I can discuss it all with you sounds so millennial that I CAN’T EVEN. I hope archaeologists dig into the wires of the internet a thousand years from now and the twenty first century becomes a discussion of how our generation glorified trashed skincare bottles and empty makeup palettes. Can you imagine? It would be the best college class EVER. Okay, on with it then! Paula’s Choice Smooth Finish Conditioner – I loved
The Dermstore Sale
I know everyone has gone crazy with the Sephora sale, but I cared more about the 25% off that was happening at the Dermstore website. I congratulate myself on not turning the whole store upside down and crashing the website, because I dearly wanted EVERYTHING, but I held myself to five items. FIVE! Paula’s Choice Skin Revealing Body Lotion 10% AHA – I have super dry itchy legs and I’m hoping this lotion will exfoliate, hydrate, and help in the removal of dead skin. I have a body brush that aids in these things but honestly? I canuse all the
Paula’s Choice – Triple Action Dark Spot Eraser 2% BHA Gel
I woke up a few weeks ago, looked in the mirror, and wandered when I got freckles on my nose. Then I looked closer and realized they weren’t freckles… They were jumbo sized blackheads that were managing to trap every bit of dirt and debris that encountered my skin. Gnarly, right? Obviously, the first thing I did was wrack my brain on what I changed in my skincare and I realized I had stopped using one thing: Paula’s Choice Triple Action Dark Spot Eraser 2% BHA Gel. Now you KNOW this immediately re-entered my skincare routine and I’m happy to
