a few good things | beauty buys

There are only a few products that I use on a consistent basis, like Aquaphor Advanced Therapy and NARS duo, but lately it seems that my skin needs more than just a dabble of ointment or a swipe of bronzer to liven it up.  So to give my skin that extra boost and really rejuvenate it from these past few months of winter weathering, I've incorporated a few extras into my beauty routine like a gentle facial scrub, a light and airy BB cream, and a lighter translucent powder.  It's really amazing how the smallest change to a beauty routine can make the biggest difference.

1. I discovered this LA MER translucent powder last year and love it as the alternative to my other powder.  It leaves my skin radiant and not overly-matte. 2. DR. JART BB cream is a great everyday BB -- super hydrating but still very light, and absorbs perfectly into my skin.  I'm afraid I'm not going to find anything better. 3. I don't wear foundation or heavy eye makeup often, but when I do, KLORANE really does the job in removing everything without drying out my skin. 4.  BUMBLE AND BUMBLE has lived on my shelf for as long as I can remember, and the Sumotech line is a great addition if you're looking to give your hair that messy, but clean look. 5.  REN facial scrub is also a recent addition.  I have such sensitive skin, and I'm not sure Clarisonic (tested) is the solution for my sensitive weathered skin, so its nice to find something that actually works. 6.  STILA liquid eyeliner - Hashtag cateye. 7.  AQUAPHOR healing ointment is a lifesaver to all my dry skin conditions, and I literally use this for everything... except cooking. 8.  NARS blush and bronzer combo 9.  I've been using this shade of  TOPSHOP nude lipstick for quite some time, another product you'll find in my bag at all times.
