Vanilla Bean Noel

It's that time of year again, yes! Time for egg nog, time for pumpkin spice lattes! It's the holidays!

I know I'm ready to hit up Bath and Body works once I see egg nog in store. I didn't think it'd be this early but it is.

Every year B&B has their holiday scents and one of the only constant ones is Vanilla Bean Noel and THANK GOD FOR THAT.

This scent is a must have in my home. I just purchased 3 body sprays, 2 shower gels and 4 foaming hand soaps as well as some other things. Since I had a big order I also got coupons and I'm so excited to go in store and grab some more. Hopefully they have another good deal soon because I always need enough of this to last me the year or I get really upset. I ran out of my foaming hand soap a few weeks ago and was really upset but thankfully it's the right time of year to stock up again!

Every year they change their packaging and I must say, this year isn't too great. Most of the designs have a wintered up kid on them.

I really preferred last years deer design.

EXCEPT I think this years body spray is my favorite of all:

It has a really cute glittery and snow design on the bottom, I just love it!

Never buy these at full price you can always find a deal or coupon for B&B. I bought mine at B3G3F(Buy three get three free) and my soaps I got 7 for 20($2.85 a piece, I actually did try other scents but probably should have gotten another 7 in Vanilla Bean Noel)

I need to snag some wallflowers, candles, travel sizes etc.

Unfortunately right now it's buy 3 get 2 free(Signature scents, soaps are 6 for 20), I'll wait another week or two and see how the deals go. Can't wait too long or else they sell out!

Experience my favorite scent in the world!

Morning Skincare Routine

 Morning Skincare Routine

So after a lot of testing I've fallen into a new skincare routine! My pores are smaller than ever my dark spots are fading and my acne is under control. These are products that work for me but may not work for you! I also do have a different nightly routine and rotating skincare as well.(Masks and other items I use a few times a week.)

My skin background:
Normal to combination skin depending on the season. The only reason I can say combination skin is due to my oiliness in my T-zone, my skin is never dry.

I have had products make my skin dry or over oily and after a lot of testing I have a solid skincare routine.(For now, I often change my moisturizers and serum depending on my issue at the time)

This is my daily morning routine;

The first thing I do in the morning is put cold water on my face because it wakes me up! Unfortunately this constructs pores, my water is very hot so I let it steam up and warm up my face a little before I do my cleanser. But in the end it doesn't matter too much because I always cleanse before bed and not too much dirt gets in my skin overnight so sometimes I even skip the steam if I don't have the time.(I have two boys 2 and under, I often don't have the time)

Every morning I use my Purity cleanser by Philosophy, this leaves my face feeling nice soft and clean. In the morning I just use a dime sized amount and rub it in with my fingers. Because it is morning and I don't need as intense of a clean I keep my scrubbing/exfoliating/brush for night time. This cleanser never leaves me feeling like I need a Moisturizer and even though it claims it will tone I like to use a toner afterwards because I have terrible enlarged pores and blackheads.

This cleanser is available at many places but I got lucky and got mine for $10 for 12oz at Sephora. Unfortunately that deal is hard to find/expired. Amazon and QVC are always have good bargams

After I dry my face off with a cotton pad I follow up with my toner. I use this toner(The Neutrogena pore refining toner) because one of my main issues is my pore size and I like to keep my blackheads at bay!
Also unlike most toners this does not make my skin dry. Which has a been a huge reason why I toners out of my routine for awhile. I believe I picked this up as a recommendation from a MakeUpByTiffanyD video.

 I got mine in store at Target for $6.49 but it is a drug store item and can be found at many retailers such as Walgreens, CVS and Wal-Mart!

After my toner I like to use a serum/oil/treatment, currently I am using the Vitamin C brightening serum by Peter Thomas Roth. Unfortunately at $85 pop, this is not my permanent serum. I got a nice sized sample with a PTR kit I purchased and it will likely last me the month but after that I am changing my serum.
This product instantly brightens the skin without making your skin oil as some serums can do.
Currently I am using this because my skin has no other issues. I do not need a acne treatment/serum or anything more for pores or redness so this is good for normal skin just looking for a pick me up.

The PTR Vitamin C Serum is Avaliable at Sephora for $85

Always be sure your last product dries fully before putting another one on. Make sure your toner is dry before serum and serum before moisturizer etc! Don't be impatient, let it soak into the skin!

I live in Florida, so with my moisturizer I like to have a high SPF to protect my face. My daily Moistener is different depending on where I am, I use one by clean and clear when I am in Indiana with family since I don't need the higher SPF.
This moisturizer by PTR is my favorite because it gives me adequate moister without any oiliness or film feeling like many others have given me.

The PTR max sheer defense moisturizer with SPF 30 is available at Sephora for $42

If you don't live in a super sunny area you could use a lower SPF, usually they are better in price, more widely available and cheaper!The one I use when I am in Indiana is the Clean And Clear Morning Glow Moisturizer.

Can you guess I got mine at Target?

It never hurts to use a higher SPF but since my PTR one is on the pricy side I like to conserve when I can. But it does last a long time, it only takes one or two pumps for the whole face.


After this I put on my primer and start putting on the war paint!

Soon I will be posting my Night Time Routine and my Once a week products.

Sub boxes for mom and baby!

 

So I recently suscribed to Citrus lane because I got a ten dollar off code so I said, Why not? My son is always exvited to see what I get in the mail and helps me open my boxes so I thought this was perfect! It's a monthly subscription box for kids, catered to their age!

It starts at $25 dollars(Goes down to $21 with 6month paid plan), with the $10 off, only $15 to try!

Get $10 off now!

 

Now Bluum and Citrus lane seem about the same to me but Bluum also includes goodies for mommy! If you search around the net you can almost always find a 50% off code or at least some sort of discount for new users!

Bluum is $24.95 monthly(Cheaper with paid plans, as always), but you can normally find discounts for your first time. Always check Jen for codes! Currently code PAMPERS will give you 50% off.

Bluum for mommy and baby!

I'll be having a battle of the boxes as soon as they come in! But heres the problem: My boxes shouldn't start until November but Citrus lane delightfully informed me that my box will arrive early, around the 26th! So they already get some brownie points!

Keeping both of them totals over 55 dollars a month! So I won't be doing that...My ipsy, Birchbox and Beauty Box five put together cost less! I wish kids boxes were cheaper, I'd like to get one for the little one but I feel like he's too little to fully enjoy it.

So, I got a letter.

Due to my terrible reaction to the L'oreal Gel Cleaner the company has offered to pay for my medical bills. Still seeing if I can find the time to make it to the dermatologist and somewhat worried to go if they make an excuse not to pay for some reason.

Anywho to the point, most large companys listen. Some will even send you coupons, samples, gifts, etc. I once told the lovely people at Cheeto how much my son loves their product and they sent him a  box filled with two bags, stuffed toys, stickers, bracelets and everything you can think of! A lot of people think they're wasting their time with complaints and praises and while sometimes that is true, it isn't all the time!

Baby blues

My lil Jude bug is in the hospital so my updates will be slow. Sorry my Ipsy review won't be up tonight. :(

Short hair blues.
