Charisse Blanchette

I got a new skin routine, might as well get some new face stuff up.Side note: In February, I went to Cancun and tequila told me I could stay out in the sun so…I got sunburned. Whoops. Had to get different shades of makeup.Again, trying to find more drugstore stuff because gas is expensive.

NOTE: This is what works for me. Always patch test. When in doubt, consult a dermatologist. I used these products alongside a prescription of Spironolactone and Tretinoin. My links are commissioned now, but I bought all of these items with my own money, including my Blume and MethodIQ orders (although if they want to send me some stuff, that would be awesome lol).SO around November-December-ish, I started getting terrible hormonal acne, especially around my chin and jaw line. My regular stuff was not working. After consulting a dermatologist, I decided to switch up my routine a little. Here are some new products I began using that works for me.I did my best to get things in the drug store because…ya know…I don't have a lot of Sephora/Ulta money nowadays.

Listen…it's been stressful. I was focused a lot on sun protection, easy to wear makeup and things that help me relax. So without futher ado, here's what I loved this past July.

Here's a secret: I have rosacea. I was teased all through out my growing up years, even now as an adult. Thank God for the OG Youtubers for teaching me how to do makeup (shoutout to ItsJudytime, Nicole Guerrero, Carli Bybel, Michelle Phan and so many others!). One step I always skipped was blush. It was only now that I'm in my mid 30s that I learned how to love and use it. So here are some that I love.

I still like to have a little something on my face before I meet clients! Here's the stuff I use currently.

I'm obsessed with skincare. It may be a bit much and it DOES have multiple steps…but it works for me!! Glass skin GOALS! Also, as always…DON'T FORGET YOUR NECK! This list is ever changing and I'm not perfect at all. I'm always willing to try something different.
