Current Skincare Routine 5/26/14

Ah skincare. A true double edged sword. On one hand you could have a product that you love and you swear by and you would marry if you could, but you could also pay thirty bucks for a face wash and not have it do diddly squat for your pretty face and be left with a gut full of regret. Fortunately for me, my feelings toward my skincare routine are much more akin to the former. Seriously my skin hasn't looked this nice in I don't know how long, so here's what I'm chalking my ever-improving complexion up to.

Current Skincare Routine

Bonjour ducklings!! My valentine this year may be my cat, but my love for skincare never dies. My skin has been getting a whole lot better for the past few months, leaving only some deep blackheads and the occasional wombat. Those ding dang blackheads are becoming the bane of my existence now, which is why I've added the Mario Badescu Drying Cream to my arsenal. It's definitely helping and a lot of those blackheads have peaked out by its hand (along with the hands of my facialist), but it is true to its name and dries out my skin quite a bit.

January Favorites

Well, 2014 is shaping up to be a big'un. January has definitely been…a lot for me. It's leading to some great changes, though. I hope you've had a super kickass start to the year! Most of the fruits of this post come from the glory that is Christmas money and have been much loved ever since I purchased them. We've got a good mix of hair, skin, makeup, and even a book so let's get started!!

Obsessed: Mario Badescu

Generally I find it really annoying when people say, "Ohmygod I'm so obsessed…", "Ugh I'm obsessed with you", or even just comment OBSESSED on an Instagram picture. It just seems so ungenuine. When it comes to beauty products, however, I can definitely get behind being obsessed.
