Burt's Bee Skincare Haul + New My Skincare Regime

Right now my skin sucks. It goes to periods where it's clear for two weeks then a hot mess for the remaining two weeks. I really need to control this because everyone knows bad skin is definitely a confidence breaker :(

I started to breakout at 21. My teenage years were pimple free but I wish this was something I skipped altogether....


After a few weeks I decided to get the whole Burt's Bee Anti-Blemish Solution a try. The important ingredient is the Willow Bark Extract: This extract contains natural Beta Hydroxy Acids, which work as a natural skin exfoliants to help unplug follicles and pores.Salicylic Acid occurs naturally in the bark of the Black Willow tree (Salix nigra).


I start off my day by using the Purifying Daily Cleanser:

This cleanser is clinically proven to help wash away blemish causing bacteria, excess oil and impurities without over-drying or irritating skin.

This cleanser is very "watery" not thick but it lathers up nice.

Two to Three days a week I use the pore refining scrub.

This deep cleansing scrub is clinically proven to exfoliate dead skin cells while refining the appearance of pores without over-drying or irritating skin.

I use the Targeted Spot Treatment instead of the toner.

This natural spot treatment is clinically proven to help reduce and improve the appearance of blemishes without irritating skin.

Daily Moisturizing Lotion

This natural light weight lotion is clinically proven to protect against blemishes without irritating skin.







Hopefully, my skin will clear up soon after using this regime. I will be updating you all on my progress.

MAC Warehouse Haul Fall 2010

Hey ladies!

I'm sooo behind on this haul! Last month I got the opportunity to attend the MAC Warehouse Sale with another blogger. I kept my haul simple :) I only bought a few items for myself, a few bloggers & most importantly my 2 yr bloggerversary(in Dec).

Lets get started..

MAC Dazzleglass in Roman Holiday & 2 lipglass in Stealing Kisses.

I loveeee Stealing kisses. Perfect WOC nude (swatch below)

 

I've heard something about rave reviews about MAC Honey Salive, so I had to get one.

This product is light and perfect for giving instant moisture!

 

I also got MAC Mineralized All over lotion.

I have 4.. This is a great lotion to keep in your car & office.

Light scent and not greasy.

I got the holiday pigment set. 

Jardin Aires, Rushmetal (already have),copperized, Museum Bronze & Reflect Gold

I'm really excited to use Reflects Gold :D

 

MAC liquidlast liner in Molten Sol

It's hot but for some reason I'm not 100% about it anymore

PhotoRealism MAC Quad

I love these!

I also got some lashes & Highlight powders which I forgot to take pictures of.

What product from my haul would you like to try *wink*?

Mini MAC Venomous Villains Haul+ Swatches

I am NOT one for MAC collections. Never in my life have I have attended a unveiling party or waited online. But this collection had so much buzz I had too... All together with tax everything ALMOST came up to $70.00 but it's worth it! This is what I got.

The first Item I got in store was Bite of an Apple blush.When I first saw this blush I said it could not be on NW45. I don't know if it was a bad swatch I seen on a blog but it was unattractive.

That is so far from the truth.. This blush is gorgeous! I am not a girl who needs obsessive amount of blush but after swatching in store.. I had to have it.

This blush is described Soft coral pink (Matte). It's very buildable and flattering for every skintone.

Wicked Ways is probably the most gorgeous lipglass I own.. and I own quite a few. It's a Deep fuchsia with pink pearl. I wore it today and got A LOT of compliments :)

This is the type of gloss that you can wear alone or on top of lipstick.

This definitely gets the Spiced Beauty stamp of approval. If this is still available I'd advise you to go and get it!

The last item I got from the Venomous Villains was a lipstick in Heartless. This is a Cherry red which is also suitable for multiple skin tones. I could also pair this lipstick with Wicked Ways lipglass.

I'm happy I got this lipstick because I need to venture out of my color safe zones LOL!

The last item I got was the VIVA GLAM Cyndi Lauper lipglass. I've been looking everywhere for a coral gloss but I couldn't find one. Honestly I don't like the lipstick but this look is gorge!

I love everything I got! Did you get anything from the VV collection? Or what do you plan on getting?

 

Flip-flop takeover!! (pic heavy)

Remember how old navy had tanks for $2.00 yesterday? I got to Old Navy 45 mins after it opened and everything was gone

NOT even one tank!! The shelves were empty and dusty!! LMAO

WDF?!?! Honestly If I were Old Navy... I would put out a certain amount an hour, so my customers would be happy. Soo I came home with zero tanks :(

But... Flip flops were on sale for $2.00! Which is an amazing price because I missed the dollar sale a few weeks ago..

I went a little crazy.. just abit..lol

 

They are all unique in their own way :)

Which one is your fave?
