update: beauty routine

a few months ago i shared with you some of my tried and true favorite beauty products.  by no means am i a beauty expert, which is primarily the reason why i share with you the beauty products i use on a daily basis. i'm all for good quality that is c-h-e-a-p.  if i think a product is worth, i won't hesitate to buy it; but please, a little tube of gunk for $45?  not for me.  no thanks!


1.)Chanel Precision Beauté Initiale, $70; Ironically enough i start with the most expensive thing on the list!  This is by far my most luxe and expensive beauty product.  I mentioned before that i was really bad at moisturizing (not to mention using one with SPF!).  I figured the only way to really get me to consistently use my moisturizer was to ensure that i absolutely loved it.  And you know i love my Chanel.  Plus, it smells good and has a light shimmer effect.  Not to mention how pretty it looks sitting on my vanity ;-)

2.) Mane 'n Tail Shampoo/Conditioner, $7, each;  I was a little skeptical to try this out because, well, it was originally made for horses.  But i kept hearing good reviews and honestly, it was all true.  The conditioner leaves my hair feeling so SO soft.

3.) E.L.F Makeup & Cosmetics; available online & at Target;  I'll be honest here folks, i love this makeup line so much i kinda didn't want to share with you.  i don't want them to jack up the prices!!  seriously, it is SO cheap and honestly, for someone who really isn't doing anything glamorous on a daily basis this is perfect for me.  I get the opportunity to experiment with new makeup without feeling guilty for throwing money away if i don't use it all.  P.S. the concealer and bronzer/blush combo are my favorites.

4.)  Biore Warming Anti-Blackhead Cleanser, $7.99; Biore is a company that i always go back to.  i'm a huge fan of the cooling cleanser, and was pleasantly surprised to try this particular warming cleanser.  it smells fresh, and oh baby, when you put it on your face - it.feels. so.good.  don't say i didn't tell you so.

5.) Kat Von D High Frequency Mascara, $9; Again, i'll be honest, i only got this mascara because it was on sale at Sephora.  i won't go out on a limb and say that i love this mascara, but i will say it's good.  not the best, but pretty good.

While those are my newest beauty products, these are ones that i must have in stock 100% of the time or else i'll freak out - no seriously, i need my aquaphor!!

  7. I love Mane and Tail too... and funny enough I have shampooed a horse with it :)

    I splurge on moisturizer too - skincare in general. Lately I've been loving Shiseido products.
