Simple

I've found a new love in my nighttime skincare routine. I have said before how much I hate hate

 hate taking off my makeup. I love the feeling afterwards, but the actual process - ugh. 

So needless to say, I'm a big fan of wipes - it's a one and done deal. I don't need 3 million items just to take off my makeup (i.e. wasting several cotton pads on mascara alone). I really love the Simple Skincare Cleansing Facial Wipes - they pretty much cut my routine in half.

Besides saving me time and doing it's (amazing) job, I feel good about using them, too. They are:

[x] non-drying - no alcohol  [x] no greasy residue - no oil

[x] no dyes, no artificial perfumes  [x] no harsh irritants

[x] hypoallergenic  [x] dermatologist tested

Pretty much what the brand is: simple. Simple ingredients, simple decision.

Spring Favorites

I'm definitely a gal that loves her makeup; but when it comes to the warmer months, I cut back the amount of products I use in my daily routine.

Lately, I've been using the four products below on a daily basis and have been loving the results. It creates a dewy, highlighted look that has been perfect for Spring and is super easy!

Here's the breakdown:
[x] use Tarte's BB Tinted Treatment; this is a BB cream, tinted primer and sunscreen all in one. Bam.
[x] highlight the tops of your cheekbones, cupids bow and brow bone with Benefit's Watt's Up! highlighter
[x] pop a peach shimmery blush on for some color; I love Milani's Baked Blushes in Luminoso
[x] heavy up on mascara, but also put a white or nude liner on the inside of your bottom lash line. this will brighten up your eyes and also make them appear bigger.

that's it! you're all set for a (hopefully) warm day. and if you'd like, you can amp up this look with a bright peach/orange toned lipstick, which is really in this season. I'm still searching for the perfect shade for my skin tone, so if you have any suggestions, please spill! :)
