Skincare
Self love has been my number one focus and 'pamper me' Saturdays have been a must. These 5 skincare products have been the stars in my routine!
Exfoliating has really helped in improving the texture of my skin. I tried a few exfoliating toners, and this one has been a bit for me. It works and is gentle on my skin
Thayers 2% AHA Exfoliating Toner, 12 Fl Oz
It's important that I hydrate without the product being too heavy and clogging my pores or feeling like it sits on top of my skin. This delivers hydration, but is light enough that I'm not scared of clogged pores or putting my makeup on top of it
COSRX Snail Mucin 96% Repairing Essence 100ml
Exfoliating is not only for the face, but the entire body. Dove has mastered making products for sensitive skin. They have many scents of body scrub, but as a certified vanilla girlie, this one is my favorite.
Dove Vanilla Sugar & Shea Butter Body Scrub 15oz
2
This is a hit for a reason. It cleanses gently and does not dry out my skin. It smells so yummy and good. I just feel good when I use it. The lasting and comfy vanilla scent gives this brand and product an edge over Dove, in my routine.
eos Shea Better Vanilla Cashmere Body Wash
So moisturizing, so absorbent, so non greasy, and that vanilla! Amazing! Pair this with the body wash, and this is just magnificent.
eos Shea Better Body Lotion Vanilla Cashmere 16oz
Makeup
Part of my renewed focus on self love is decluttering makeup and throwing out or giving away products that do not serve my skin well.
My newest obsession! Last thing that fell into place in my makeup routine was concealer. Finding a concealer that does not crease and is not drying, but also provides full coverage for my hyperpigmentation, took a while. Until I found Maybelline's ag...
Maybelline Instant Age Rewind Concealer
I am in my light coverage era, and this is top of the list for me. As my skin texture and tone improves, I have limited the days I wear full coverage makeup, and have gravitated towards light coverage, matte products. This is at the top of the heap. ...
COVERGIRL Clean Matte BB Cream Oil-Free
For $3, awesome shade range, and it glides on effortlessly.
e.l.f. Cream Glide Lip Liner
These lip oils are really pigmented and stay moisturizer longer. Some other lip oils dry out after e bit, but not these. These are for the 'dont feel like lipstick' days. Also a great addition to lip combos
NYX Fat Oil Lip Drip Moisturizing Gloss
Long lasting pressed powder to help set makeup. It is not cakey or ashy, and most importantly for combo and oily skin... mattifying
NYX Can't Stop Won't Stop Mattifying Powder Light
Fragrances
For me, fragrance is just as important as makeup and clothes. My mood, the dress and the occasion dictates which fragrance I wear. However, I have some that I use the most frequently and would recommend to anyone. Here they are.
My FAVORITE fragrance. It is a gorgeous floral, amber and tuberose fragrance, that makes me feel elegant and sophisticated
Lattafa Her Confession Vanilla Floral Amber Musk EDP 100ml
It's fall season, and this spicy sweet fragrance is perfect. I love both this and the original, but this is slightly deeper .. most likely because of the addition of coffee notes to the mix.
Lattafa Khamrah Qahwa Vanilla Spicy EDP 100ml
I typically dislike fruit dominant fragrances, because they smell so synthetic .. that was before I got this. It smells so real, just like a juicy, creamy, just ripened mango.
Paris Corner Mango Jugoso 3.4oz EDP Unisex
This warm and spicy fragrance made me fall in love with cardamom. It has a really awesome blend of spiciness, but the cardamom at the top elevated this. It's my second favorite fragrance in my collection.
Afnan Historic Sahara Unisex Extrait 3.4oz
This is a MUST HAVE fragrance. It's my favorite sleep time fragrance. It might have been around since 2002, but it is still thriving today, because it is such a nice blend of florals, amber, spices like cinnamon and citrus notes.
Charlie Gold by Revlon Eau De Toilette 3.3oz
