Scrub free?

Hey guys!

I do my best to keep my skin look nice and healthy, I have a little regimen. I have acne prone skin, however I discovered something in seventeen mag today that I want to try. It's by st Ives, called st Ives scrub - free exfoliating free pads, they're $5. I have not tried them have you? I do like to exfoliate a few times a week, or as needed. Sometimes exfoliating can irritate the skin, or the one you use can be too rough. I know I used to use st Ives apricot scrub, however I stopped because it was too rough. I started using a clean and clear on that's less rough. I will purchase them soon and do a review!.

I turn to you......

Hey guys HAPPY LABOR DAY! I hope everyone had a great weekend. I did enjoyed spending time with friend and family having a bbq. However today I had this song stuck in my head probably because it's a fav and I haven't heard it in a really long time. However it's a beautiful song, it's called turn to you by christina Aguliera.

Key products

What are some of your key facial products? to keep your skin nice and CLEAR!( I have acne prone skin. I've had for years, but I've found some things that really work great for me! and may work for you. Of course what works for ME may not work for YOU! however it's worth a try maybe if you have acne skin and it's annoying.  I've created a regimen using the following products! and I must say I am satisfied with it, I feel I have finally found something that works!below from left to right.

1. Clean&clear persa-gel 10 maximum strength (Available at most drug stores) I purchased mine at target for for about $6.00. I use that for my little RANDOM! pimples so it's a spot treatment that works well. I've actually been using it for years, then I stopped because I ran out, but recently repurchased.
2. Panoxyl acne foaming wash maximum strength. The funny thing about this is, I went to a local pharmacy to get this, and they didn't have any in stock so I had to order it from for $10. That was kind of disappointing because I  thought to myself dag is that how I'm always going to have to buy it!?. I prefer the convince of just buying from a store you know? SOOO to make a already LONG STORY SHORT (LOL). I found it at walmart :D yay!!! for in the store. I haven't seen it online but you can always check and you may. It was $10 or $8 not sure
3. nuetrogena blackhead eliminating cleanser/mask I going to say it was bout $7. I use it as a mask 3 times a week then the other days just as a cleanser
4. ambi fade cream was $6 at cvs, I use it on my dark spots that I have from my acne and it works great!.
5. Clean &clear deep action exfoliate cleanser , about $6 at target. I use it as needed or once a week.
6. last but not least clean and clear moisturizer, I use this one because it's for acne prone skin also about $6.

                      I believe most! of these products can be found in drugstores the only that may be hard to find is the panoxyl, if that's the case maybe you can do what I did and just order it from a pharmacy. Actually I totally forgot about this online drugstore, called drugstore .com I have purchased some cosmetics from there! quick easy delivery. I will leave the link below.

lazy days...

    Do you have a go to  outfits?  I really love lazy day outfits (lol). Not everyday is a day where one wants to "dress up" or feels like putting crazy effort towards an outfit, sometimes us girls go through things! and we just aren't up to it!. Sometimes you just want to put on some comfy jeans, a sweater and boots or a rainy day and out the door you go!. Well at least that's what I like to wear, however a "lazy day" outfit can still look nice but not all the efforts. Here are a few things that I'd wear on a lazy day. By the way  all the items  are from forever 21 plus

     

                                                                      $ 19.80

                       Same shirt front on the top the bottom is on the back

 I'd wear this boyfriend jeans, or some black skinnies, add a cute bracelet or something funky and edgy like a stud wrap bracelet. Boots or sneakers and may add some color to  my lip!. Effortless but not doing too much!

                                                         

 

$22.80

How cute is this shirts?! I just think this shirt is adorable and for it to be something I'd wear on a "lazy day" it adds a certain cuteness!. Something I'd wear with a darker wash skinny or maybe even a flare or wider leg.. (no? yes) try something different why not. Once again add a bracelet or something, maybe a color on my lip just to make it pop a little.

                                                                 $22.80

         If you're a  hello kitty lover like me then this shirt is for you! (lol). So cute I love the color mint, it pops great off of black jeans (as shown on the model), that's exactly how I'd wear it.

 

$22.80

I really like the bold color stripes on this sweater, really cute and fun, while of course not putting much into looking cute. Adding some simple accessories would be nice.

 

$14.80

 

Can't forget about a classic cardy! they ae very simple, can be worn with anything in anway dressed up or down. For this post it'd be worn dressed down. They have it in two more colors, black and teal. 

 

Last but not least this cute sweater I wanna share with you guys that I actually own I can't get a pic but! I do have the link It's from alloy, it's on sale. The one thing I will say is that it's cropped online it didn't look as if it was. However I just wear a cami underneath and it look sooo cute, and comfty.

 

 

http://store.alloy.com/item.do?categoryID=1327&itemID=54724

 It's onsale for $14

 All of the sweaters, because I mostly wear lazy day outfits when It'd colder out and I have my heavy coat on. Since really no one see's what I'm wearing, however I try to keep it cute still. Everything that was posted I'd wear with jeans, boots, or sneakers. It's easy! in my opinion at least (lol). I really hope this post was informative to everyone, inspired someone! or did something for another person!.

Have a great day! :)

What should I wear!?

Hey guys,

My birthday is coming up and I am looking for something to wear, however I am not sure what I want to wear. A dress, skirt or maybe colored pants or something. I’d REALLY appreciate opinions and suggestions. Thanks Oh yes! do you think I can rock this dress with some flats?

 

Throw back

Hey guys! I hope everyone is enjoying their week, the week that's almost over that is lol. However the other day I was listening to some music and b2k's "Why I love you" came on and. I just got a rush of memories from back in the day lol. I haven't heard that song in YEARS! literally no exaggeration here lol!.  I instantly began singing along of course I screwed up some of the lryics but hearing it reminded me of why I love the song, It's just a sweet simple song, I thought I'd share it here as a throw back song! :) enjoy!.

A little something...

Earlier this week, I painted my nailsbut I didn't manicure them (if that make since lol). Today at target I purchased a maicure set by revlon, and some instant cuticle remover by Sally Hansen. I was actually surprised with the pricing of the kit because of the brand, I was expecting maybe $10. It also comes with this cute pouch to keep all of the items in, there for I won't loose them ^-^. I was happy with the pricing of the cuticle gel as well, becase it was only $5. Now I can practice doing my own manicures for sure!!! :).

Fall wants part 2

Target ($24.99)    

I own a pair of black oxfords but I don't have any with color, these are a nice warm color, that can be paired up with many things!.

                                                          Target ($25.00) SALE! originally $29.99
I'm a college student so I am obviously(lol) always on the look out for cute bags, to put my books in. I always need a few bags to switch up through the semesters because putting my books in just ONE bag will eventually lead to a bag with broken straps :( LOL!!. These two bags are cute and sturdy enough to hold my books!

                                                       Target ($39.99)

 Can't go wrong with a riding boot right? for the past season's riding boots have been in style and I love them!. Simple for the cold months.

Fall wants part 1

Hey guys!!! I just wanted to share with you all some of my fall wants!!! (that I hope to get soon lol!!!). Also i kind of shop A LOT! at forever 21 plus! because, I couldn't find many places that carried items that fit me, I kind of no longer can fit in juniors clothes lol. As that time approached f21 came about. However I am def checking out other sites & stores. That I have recently found out about, like very .com I believe and torrid. I will make two post of my wants because I have a few more things like shoes & bags however I don't want to drag out this post too long! which I think it already is lol.

                                                                   Forever 21 ($17.80)
I LOVE!! the color of this sweater, I don't have anything this color in my closet, Just because It's fall/winter does not mean color can't be worn! It can!. I think this color goes nice with burgundies, and berries. I have a berry color lipstick in mind that I feel would look lovely with this.

forever 21 plus ($15.80) This season I am def into sweaters it's kind of weird because, in the past I wasn't into the long sleeve (even in the wold I sweat :( ahh I know lol) anyway!. I'm ready to change that I feel this sweater is a nice the neutral colors, could be paired with a nice brown or black boot, and a scarf or accessories .

                                                          forever 21plus ($24.80)
                                        Ahhh! deniem shirts! lol, once again something I already HAVE ONE! however I have a light one, yet another staple I feel in one's wardrobe. They make a outfit cute without having to add a whole bunch to it, or you can add somethings to it. So I want another one that's darker so that I can switch up.

                                                         forever 21 plus ($24.80) Black &gray
Now as you know from a previous Post I already have a vest! lol, but what's wrong with more than 1?! I feel they can be a staple piece in one's wardrobe. I looove!! moto jackets, this vest is just that without a sleeve! I love the moto look with the sort of asemterical look.

Forever 21($6.21)

This is just a cute chain, I feel is versitile and can be worn with many outfits, and you can't beat the price.

Forever 21 plus  ($15.80)

Navy is def a color that's in for the colder weather, I don't really have anything blouse like, and this season, I want to switch things up a bit.

old navy ($25.00

) ON SALE originally ($29.94) ehh few $ difference but any thing off is good(lol)

I like this simple blouse, they offer in other colors, something simple yet cute in my opinion.

                                                                Old navy  ( $24.94)
I love open knit! it just adds a cute touch to a simple shirt or in this case a sweater! lol. They also offer this shirt in more colors. I like this neutral color, because it would look great with black or dark blue jeans and cute flats or boots.

Affordable nail polish

Hey!!!! I've recently got into painting my own nails, because it's fun!. I plan doing my own manis soon, but for now I just polish my nails. That itself took some time to get better at it (lol). Not perfect, but I've learned to be steady when painting my nails. Anyway enough of the hoopla. I just wanted to share the final result, as well as the color and name of the polish. I love!!! This color it's just a nice soft purple kind of pinkish color. If you can't see it it's called orchid from forever 21, and retails for $2.80.

Review

Lately I've been into lipstick and different lip gloss and  stains. I've heard about revlon lip stain BALMS! a few months ago and since then  I've been wanting to try them. So recently I purchased two Revlon lip balms. I did swatches of the two colors, so you can see what they look like. The one on top is smitten and the one of the bottom is love sick. I purchased them at http://www.drugstore.com/.  I purchased them online because, I couldn't find them in any stores I went to.

 

Reasons I love these balms

•You don't need a sharpener to get more product they're retractable
•Nice coverage
•affordable
•small/easy to put in purse or book bag.
•Moisturizing

 

1#020 (love sick)
2. # 030 (smitten)
