Ready for the new week? I am! A highly requested blog post from you all has always been my nighttime routine, specifically skincare! If you have been following me for a while you know I sometimes suffer with insomnia so I am going to start working on a blog post tailored to that and the tips + tricks I've learned to sleeping and getting a good night's rest along the way. But today I will just be focusing on my nightly skincare routine. I am constantly changing up my skincare routine every few months, just because I enjoy trying new products and my skincare needs vary. I will always keep you all updated and share my routines and the products I love and trust!
The first step is that before I take a shower I wipe off my makeup, especially my eye makeup. Currently I am trying out the Olay Effects Wipes and the verdict is that while they aren't my favorite wipes ever (keep in mind I have super sensitive skin) I love the smell of them and my face does feel fresh after using them. They just aren't life-changing (if you get what I mean--Lol!) The second step to my routine is to wash my face well in the shower. I am currently using the Caudalie Instant Foam Cleanser. FYI- While in Europe I stopped by a Caudalie store and purchased a big pack of their products to try out so currently all my Caudalie products are on the travel-size, but I will definitely be purchasing them again! To wash my face I use the Clarisonic Mia2 Brush and I use the Deep Pore Head Brush. I love my Clarisonic! And I actually have a post on it, you can read it here. Once I am out of the shower and dried off I apply cream on my body to help moisturize my skin overnight. If you follow me on Instagram, the other day on stories that sometimes I use Eucerin cream, specifically their cream tailored to Type One diabetic. Whenever my skin is really dried out this is my go-to cream, and I have naturally soft skin but ever since my type one diagnosis I go through phases where my skin can get really dry. My favorite cream of the moment is from Bliss. Not only is the scent refreshing and clean, but it is a really rich cream so it makes my skin baby-soft. When I put cream on my feet, I always put socks to really let it seep in. The fourth step in my routine is my face creams, my favorite part! Currently I mix a combination of Laneige Water Sleeping Mask and either Caudalie Vinosource Moisturizing Sorbet or Caudalie S.O.S Thirst Quenching Serum. I also just started trying the Laneige Water Bank Eye Gel, and so far I really like it but I will have to keep you all updated as I use it more. My other step is I apply a Lip Sleeping Mask from Laneige, that is amazing. I swear by it! My lips are softer and are not chapped at all. If I have a headache before bed I will apply my Origins Therapy Peace of Mind On-the-Spot Relief on to my temples and it really does the trick! I get intense headaches/migraines so this is a lifesaver and I really appreciate that it is a natural alternative to medications, since I get them often. So this also isn't part of my night routine typically but sometimes I add some extra self-care and will put on a face mask. I am currently trying out Sephora's Clay Masks and I have to say I am impressed so far, let me know if you all would want a blog post on them! Also featured on my nightstand/skincare tray (btw mine is sold out from Target but I linked .a similar one below), is a can of Caudalie Grape Water, which I use when my face feels really dry or after a workout / Bath and Body Works Aromatherapy Cream (scent: Focus), which I apply in the morning / and the last one is random, but special to me it is a little shot bottle of Tequila that my brother Nicholas gave to me on my 21st birthday because he wanted to give me my first legal shot, but instead I decided to keep it as a memento / I also have a little candle because what is more zen than a lit candle? Let me know what you all think about my nighttime skincare routine and if we use the same products! As always I have linked all of the products down below so they are easy to shop and/or check out. Also a brand NEW feature is that you can set up a sale alert below as well, so you will be notified when that product goes on SALE! How amazing is that?

Happy Weekend my friends! This week has felt so long to me, probably because I have been fighting a cold or allergies...still not sure which one. If you are up North, I hope you are staying safe and are all bundled up. I can barely handle when it is 50 degrees or lower, so I can only imagine how bundled up I would be if I was there right now.
When I returned home from Europe a few weeks ago, there was a sweet, little package greeting me from L'Oreal on my desk. I had just come back from Paris, France so it was like having a piece of Paris waiting for me at home. They sent me three of their NEW Rouge Liquid Lipsticks. For those of you whole follow me on Instagram (if you aren't stop right here a second and follow me), you know that I love liquid lip stains are a staple in my makeup collection. The reason I love a good liquid lip stain is because I feel like the colors are more pigmented versus a lipstick. So needless to say I was very excited to try these out. To be honest my mom is a bigger user of L'Oreal than I am. I think she has probably tried almost every single product from their collections over the years, like they should totally have her as a spokeswoman, haha! But I always have loved L'Oreal's lip products and they also have some pretty amazing mascaras. The first time I applied the Rouge Liquid Lipsticks, I was in LOVE! They are really cool! They apply cold to your lip (the best way I can describe it is like apply a lip mask-feeling/tingle) and then within seconds dry matte. My favorite part though is that even though they are matte on the lips they don't dry out your lips!!! It is honestly one of the best lip products I have ever tried and I will definitely be re-purchasing. Another great thing about these lip products is you get a high-quality lip stain for just $11.99! My personal favorite is I Create, because it is the perfect pinky-nude. You can purchase these three and their other shades by clicking here! Trust me they are the perfect additions to your makeup collection. Also ladies they are kiss-proof so it is the perfect shade to wear one your Valentine's date! As always, thank you for reading today's post and I hope you have a very fun weekend! Make sure you are subscribed to my blog so you never miss a post, deals, and of course giveaways. Shop my LookHey lovely readers! I am so excited to be sharing my favorite skincare item in my bathroom--my Clarisonic. In case you haven't discovered Clarisonic yet, let me fill you in...Clarisonic is a renowed beauty company that specializes in facial brushes that have the power to transform your skin (literally!) In fact, using a Clarisonic brush on your skin is six times more effective than using your hands alone! And trust me when I say the difference you'll see in your skin is incredible.
Ever since I was a little girl, I have struggled with sensitive skin. I sunburn easily, rash easily, and most beauty products tend to agitate my skin. Close friends and family began to rave about Clarisonic so I knew I had to find out what all the buzz was about. I am obsessed! I typically use my Clarisonic, mine is the Deep Pore Mia 2, 1-2 time a day. What I love about the Deep Pore Mia 2 is that it times out how long you should stay on each portion of your face and really cleans out your pores. Ever since I began using Clarisonic products my skin has been glowing and clears out fast. With Christmas around the corner (so excited!) you'll want to add Clarisonic products to your wish list and pick some out for your BFF's--because your girl gang should all have flawless skin. To make Clarisonic even more irresistable, use my coupon code HERCAMPUS now through Novemeber 20 at checkout and you will receive 15% off your order. So shop quickly! XO PS: Before I wrap up this blog post, I want to toss in a little request...as most of you know I am a proud sister of the sorority Phi Mu, and I am happy to announce one of my sisters is running for Beta's (a fraternity) Miss Shooting Star Pagaent. The Miss Shooting Star pagaent is a week of events, leading to the main event--the pagaent--all in efforts to not only bring awareness, but also fundraise for the Make a Wish foundation, which is an incredible philanthropy!
