Dr. Jart+ Pore Medic Derma @ home peeling

Count me in for anything that says it can reveal more radiant glowy skin. And help my pores! Cue Dr. Jart+ Pore Medic Derma @ home peeling. This is a two-step scrub and peel process that takes only 3 minutes. This is a great product to do quickly in the middle of a busy week because it only takes 3 minutes! I have been using this at least once a week and so far have really loved the results. Step 1 involves a thick paste like thermal crystal scrub. This stuck is thick. You gently massage this all over your skin for two minutes for deep deep exfoliation. It feels a bit rough on the skin but afterwards your skin is left super soft. Next you apply Step 2 on top of Step 1. Step 2 is a 60-second peel that lathers into a foam when applied on top of the scrub. This step helps get rid of any impurities and dead skin cells with lactic and salicylic acid. After 1 minutes I just rinse everything off and am left which smooth and bright skin! This at home peel helps skin look brighter and helps pores look smaller over time. I really enjoy using it and will report back when I finish what I thought about the whole product.

The 5 Product Face #2

We all get a little lazy sometimes over the weekend or on days we barely even leave the house. On those type of days (Sundays) I like to use as little makeup as possible but still enough to look presentable. Back in July I tackled this subject of the 5 Product Face. Here is another take on no makeup makeup look using only 5 products:

I start with Dr. Jart's Water Fuse BB Cream. Since it is water based I know that it's light, gives light coverage and just leaves my skin feeling like skin. The important this is it still evens out skin tone and gives some life back into my tired morning face AND it has SPF 25. Next I fill in my brows with Anastasia Brow Wiz in Medium Ash because I absolutely refuse to leave the house without filling in my brows. To open up my eyes I apply some Loreal Telescopic otherwise I'll hear the “You look really tired” comments all day. My next step is my favorite step in winter because for my I just need that extra glow: RMS Living Luminizer. I dab this on the top of my cheekbones, down the center of my nose, under my eyebrows and above my cupids bow (whew that was a long list). This definitely gives you a subtle glow that just makes you look young, luminous and healthy. Lastly I need a lip product  and something that will last all day are the YSL lip stains. They are super easy to apply and just stay put. I have a really natural shade #7 that just gives your lips a light pink wash. And that's it!

Hope everyone has a nice weekend! Stay warm if you're in NYC!

August Birchbox

I was a little disappointed with this month's birchbox samples. I think I get more excited when I get makeup bits and the majority of this month's samples were all skincare. The only real makeup thing here is the BB Cream. I also think it's a bit weird when they include things like a tea bag. But ok.

On the left in the MIYU pouch, I got a de-stress mi beauty essence spray which says it's a fusion between a facial mist and a serum to help calm down irritated complexions. I do love facial sprays so I am excited to try this out but not that excited to try the tea bag it came with. Next are the Whish deodorant swipes (???) i guess I'll have to try this out to talk about it. I guess it's for when you're on the go, such as after the gym or something. Another Whish Body product included this month was the Whish exfoliating body wash. This will be good for travel. I am going away again this weekend so I will bring this with me.

Next is the Dr Jart Premium BB Cream with SPF 45 which I already have been using and love because not that many BB creams have such high SPF. I love almost all the Dr Jart BB creams (I love the Dr Jart Waterfuse BB cream. It's super light and natural looking!) And finally I got samples of the OC8 Professional Mattifying Gel (8 hour matte finish) which I just read about in Refinery29 and am excited to try! I definitely suffer from oily t-zone so hopefully this will keep my face looking fresh all day!
