March Favorites 2013

            Lush Breath of Fresh Air Toner, Rosebud Strawberry Lip Balm, Clarisonic Plus, Nars Laguna Bronzer, Laura Mercier Tinted Moisturizer Oil Free, Clinique Moisturizing Lotion, DiorSkin Sculpt Concealer 

Lush Toner I have been using this toner for about a year and a half now and I am still loving it. I use it in the morning before I put on my moisturizer. Not only does it give me a fresh wakeup, but it damps and hydrates my skin allowing me to use less moisturizer. 

Rosebud Lip Balm Due to this harsh winter I have been experiencing, I will be the first to say that my lips are disgusting. This lip balm keeps my lips nice and soft. Also, the smell is incredible. A girl in my history class smelled it from my lips, which sounds so strange. 

Clarisonic Plus I am so in love with my new Clarisonic Plus. It is honestly such a great investment. My skin has gotten noticeably better, which is also due to my use of Proactive, a product I said I would never use. The Clarisonic Mia is a cheaper option. Olay also makes a more cost effective model. 
   
Nars Bronzer in Laguna March is not my favorite month. One of the reasons would be that I am incredibly pale this time of year. Just a touch of Laguna gives me just the right amount of color without looking like an orange cake face. 

Laura Mercier Tinted Moisturizer When summer was over, I found that I couldn't go back to my old foundation and let go of my favorite tinted moisturizer.  It offers the perfect amount of coverage without being as aggressive as a foundation. Also it keeps my dry winter skin moisturized, a common theme among these products. 

Clinique Moisturizing Lotion This is such a cult favorite but that doesn't make it any less amazing. Perfectly hydrating and it also comes in gel form. 

Dior Concealer I adore this concealer so much. It is applied with a doe foot applicator. DiorSculpt has enough coverage for spot concealing and creamy enough for under eye.

Ode to the Beanie





Jacket: LF, Pants: Urban Outfitters, Scarf: Alexander Mcqueen, Boots: Dingo, Hat: Lf

           Recently I have been so obsessed with my beanies, partially because they conceal my unwashed hair but for other reasons as well. I love this beanie because paired with my jacket it gives me a grungey I don't care look when in fact I actually care a lot. Before I left my sister told me I looked homeless and in that moment I knew I hit the bullseye.
