Everyday face care routine

Everyday face care routine.

My everyday routine really isn't crazy with expensive scrubbers and high end face washes. My three go to things are:
1) Alba Botanica face scrub
I only use the face scrub twice a week (at least 2 days in between uses) I use this to help get dead skin, dirt, make up, etc off. It leaves my skin feeling soft and refreshed.
2) Avalon Organics
I use my face wash 2x a day. Once in the morning and again at night. I only use this face wash because my skin is very sensitive and very picky and so far this is one of the few that doesn't irritate my skin or make it break out. It has vitamin C in it. Also it helps defend against photo-aging.
3) Apple-cider vinegar in water

I use this once a day (sometimes 2x because of the weather in Arizona can be harsh) I take apple-cider vinegar and fill the little blue container about 1/3 and then the rest water to dilute it. This helps the pH in the skin. After about a week of using this daily I have noticed such a difference in my skin. I still get blemishes here and there but my skin looks brighter. 

I only use organic face products because to me using products that have tons of chemicals makes me think that aging and other skin issues are tied together. I'm not stating that as a proven fact but that's my philosophy. Also I only use products that are cruelty-free. 

All of these products I got at Walmart (except the apple-cider vinegar) So if you're looking for a more reasonable price for skin care check out these at walmart or target or wherever you shop. I hope that this post helps!
  

Tarte eyeliner review

(Tarte multiplEYE eye liner)

This is definitely by far one of the best eyeliners I have used. It's a liquid liner which gives very detailed lines. It has a defining color and applies easily. Though I do suggest to those of you who haven't used liquid liner before use a pencil liner, try it, become confident and try liquid liner. This eyeliner is from the company Tarte. They are a bit more pricey make up company but their products are cruelty free, high quality and they do not put harsh ingredients in their products. This is an eyeliner that you will not be let down on. 

Bath and Body Works Candle

Pumpkin cupcake candle

I love fall. I love love love it! It makes me think of hot chocolate, lattes, pumpkin carving and bonfires. It makes me feel nostalgic and warm. For me it brings me back to the happiest times in my life. Also, Halloween :)

I'm quite the impatient person so waiting until October to enjoy these things is never on the agenda. I love being able to find anything fall related when I can. So far I have enjoyed three pumpkin things: pumpkin ale, pumpkin pie and this lovely pumpkin candle. I got this candle from my dad. It's Pumpkin Cupcake by Bath and Body works. It smells amazing! Let me make myself clear, it. smells. AMAZING. The description on the back states: Satisfy your sweet tooth with the scent of a freshly baked pumpkin cupcake covered in loads of rich buttercream frosting. If that doesn't make your mouth water, then I don't know what to tell you. It smells like lovely fall baking. I can't really say a lot about it because you have to go smell it. If I could I would put a scratch and sniff on this post but it's not possible. I would love to know what your favorite fall time thing is!

Alba Botanica face scrub

Hey everyone! So today I want to do a small review on Alba Botanica face scrub. First off I want to tell you that they are a cruelty free product. Do you know that you shouldn't exfoliate your face everyday? I'm not a dermatologist but I've talked to many people who have gone through beauty school and they were taught not to exfoliate everyday. 2-3 times a week is good enough (unless otherwise told by a dermatologist). So when you first open it, it looks brown and has a minty smell to it. As you can see in the bottom picture. So it makes me think of mint chocolate, (yum!) I personally have very sensitive skin. So when applying this to my face I have to rub lightly. It has a small amount of "acne grade medication" in it. But after rinsing off my face feels amazing! It feels clean and soft and the minty smell is a good wake up fragrance. All in all, I give this product a thumbs up.
