Skincare Routine!

Hello again!
     So I have officially decided that finding a good skincare routine is one of the things that a lot of us struggle with. Staying consistent with it is even harder, but consistency is your best friend when it comes to your face. Especially if you are looking to see a change in appearance, whether that be reducing breakouts, redness, pores, or you just want a overall fresh face look. I have learned to be patient but it wasn't easy because I used to be that girl that would try a different product every few weeks if I didn't see a difference. Once I discovered that most products take more than a few weeks to work, I learned to be patient.
 
My face has always been oily and believe me its never fun having to use countless amounts of blotting papers throughout the day but the products that I use take care of the job for the most part. 



     So as you can see I use two products by the brand Cetaphil and I swear by this brand. I use the face wash and I am just now starting to use their moisturizer. I have been using the face wash for about a year now, day and night. It makes my face feel squeaky clean even after wearing a full face of makeup. However if you are looking for a face wash that lathers....this wouldn't be the choice for you. I personally like that it doesn't lather too much but it just depends on what your preference is.

     The moisturizer I have only been using for a couple weeks so I am still testing it out. I do know that a little definitely goes a long way, half a pump of this stuff is all you need to cover your whole face. 

     I also use an exfoliater by St. Ives but I am warning you...it is a little harsh for daily use so once a week should be just fine!

     The stuff that you see in the orange tube is the Rapid Clear Gel by Neutrogena and its pretty much a spot treatment for breakouts and it works okay....my breakouts don't disappear by the next morning but over a couple of days they will if I apply this each night. 

     And finally my eye cream is in the jar and I know you cant see the label but its by Benefit Cosmetics and its probably my most expensive skincare product that I have (everything else comes from the drugstore) As far as if it works...well I guess we'll find out in the years to come I guess! 

    *Tips:
          1. Try to stay away from the fruity scented face washes
          2. NEVER go to bed with makeup on
          3. Wash your face every morning and night
          4. Try to clean your makeup brushes at least once a                  month

My First Blog Post....EVER.

Oh hey!
Welcome to my blog ladies and gents! 

Considering this is my first post...I guess this is the part where I introduce myself & all that good stuff. Sooooo long story short:
21, Texas born & raised, college student, Public Relations major.
Thats only a tad bit of me but you will get to know me more as I post more on my blog :)

Fashion & beauty have always been the two things that I am always passionate about and I initially looked into starting my own Youtube channel but blogging seemed waaaaay better. 
By the way....if you are curious, look up the Youtube channel GlitterTrio (dont make fun of us though) 

So throughout my busy schedule I plan to post on here at least twice a week to start off with because this page is still under construction & I am trying to play around with the layout to see what I like & dont. So stay patient with me, I will eventually get the hang of it.

I will try to link all my social networking sites ASAP so yall can follow me on there as well.
Stay tuned guys...this is only the beginning!

Stay Glam,
Lex
