Facial Products

We all have our favorite products that we use on a daily basis and I want to share some of my favorites:

My favorite face wash is Neutrogena Deep Action Exfoliating Scrub. It's got these microbeads that help to gently exfoliate your face making your skin feel clean and soft. As well as, a tingly, then cool feeling while you are gently scrubbing your face. Love it! I have been using this product for about 5 years and I wouldn't use anything else! I don't like to put to many products on my face, not that my skin is sensitive, I just like sticking with what I know for the most part.  I've been very lucky to have clear skin my whole life so I do my best to take great care of it!

Another product that I like to use every once in a while are these facial packets. I get mine from target and you put them on your face and wipe off after 20-30 minutes. I normally do these twice a month because I barely have the time, but when I do my face feels amazing. I recommend using them maybe while relaxing in the bath or painting your nails, to help distract you as the time passes. 

Everyday before putting my makeup on and every time I get out of the shower I use Suave's soothing with aloe lotion. It is light and refreshing, not greasy at all. For me it is the perfect moisturizer for my face. I also use this when my skin feels dry and it works great! I don't like putting heavy, greasy lotions on my skin so having this is a simple, quick fix!

I'm always looking for some great products to try out so if you have any of your own that you love, let me know, also what are some of your FAVOR-it skin products you use?

My Makeup Favorites

I'd like to think I'm pretty simple when it comes to makeup. I don't wear a lot and I usually only take about 10 minutes max to apply my makeup. It's deciding which outfit to wear that takes the most.

I use Mary Kay makeup brushes and I love them! They work so well for me, are durable and are very soft!

I have a makeup palette that my cousin Maria actually left here from New York and she told me to keep it. Turns out it is the best and I love all the color selections it has! Sometimes I look down at all the colors and think "what color should I pick today" and then I always end up using the same color, usually anything neutral like the browns or light grays.

My foundation which currently is my favorite so far out of the many foundations I've tried. It's L'Oreal Paris True Match Lumi. I love how light it feels on my skin and it has SPF of 20 which I think most foundations do but living in Florida it's a definite must!

For mascara I use L'Oreal Paris as well and this too is my favorite. I've probably used this same brand of mascara for more than a year now. For me it does what I need it to do, doesn't clump and looks great!

I'm not big on wearing a lot of makeup, I keep it pretty simple for the most part. What are some of your makeup product favorites?

M&Ms

Okay, so I'm very lucky and hardly ever have a craving for sweets but when I do I never know what to do because I don't want to eat something that isn't good for me. Another thing that I love about trying to eat a low carb diet is the fact that Atkins has a bunch of great products that help you stay on tract. They have things for people who have sweet cravings, can't eat a big breakfast or need an easy snack or shake for their mid day pick up.

I just recently discovered M&Ms (well they call them chocolate candies) from Atkins and I thought why not give it a shot! This is perfect for me, nice and light little chocolate snack, just what I need when I randomly want something sweet! Surprise they are amazing! So amazing I had to stop myself from having a second bag! Either way these are definitely worth it and they really help to curb that sweet tooth! Try them out! ;-)

Kitty Caps

We have two cats that are inside cats. The two things that we constantly struggle with is the hair and the fact that they like to claw at the furniture. I've read that cats need to claw at things because it helps to stretch their arms and it is also a way for them to mark their territory. We have tried everything; spray bottles, tape, scratch off spray and nothing works until I discovered Kitty Caps. 

Kitty Caps are these caps that go over your cat's nails, you glue them on and in about 2-3 weeks they grow out and fall off. It doesn't hurt them or anything, it is perfectly safe and our cats don't even know they are on. So far, so good! This also helps preventing them from accidentally scratching us or the kids when we are playing with them. I really think this way is a lot better than getting them declawed and the product comes with enough caps to last about 4-5 times if you have one cat or 2-3 times if you have two cats. I only put them on their front paws too. 

They have different color caps too, they have clear, which is what I chose, blue and pink!

TKEES

Okay if you live in Florida like me then you know 95% of the time you are wearing flip flops. I like to keep it pretty simple and my favorite website for simple flip flops is TKEES.com. They have every imaginable color; they even have animal print! They are a little expensive ranging about 50 bucks but to be able to find that exact color you are looking for is pretty cool and makes life so much easier when you HAVE to have that color or style! With that said here are a couple that are my favorites!

Always need a nude color. Goes with everything, beachy and clean looking!

Gotta have an animal print with your collection of shoes! It is always in style and can be casual or dressy.

Love the two tone colors and both of these are spring colors!

Little bit of black, gold and rose gold! Nice touch to any outfit!

I love this design and the colors so cute and classy!

L'Oreal Paris Mascara

We all have or favorite beauty products and I am going to share with you my favorite mascara! I've tried my fair share of mascaras and I'm not all that into makeup, I keep it pretty simple. Currently I have been using L'Oreal Paris Voluminous Extra Volume Collagen Mascara and have been for almost a year now! It is wonderful and it won't break the bank! I got mine at Target (love that place) but I am pretty sure this mascara can be purchased anywhere.
