Hello fellow beauty lovers! I hope most of you still know what my blog is after me not posting anything for MONTHS! I can explain this.. really. I have been working hard in school while maintaining a part time job. I just finished the Critical Care semester of my nursing program. I can't wait to graduate from nursing school in a year and a half and be able to have more time for everything! </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
But enough about that, lets get to the good stuff. If some of you also follow me on Instagram, you would have seen some of my progress pictures of my body through my working out and eating healthy. If you have not seen these pictures I will include them below. Keep in mind that, like I said, I am a busy bee during the my school semesters and only am able to work out when I can. But, when I do, the information that will be included in this post is what I follow religiously. Throughout the last 5 years I have gotten pretty deep into working out and training. It has helped shape my body and change it in such positive ways that I want every one to experience this! I wrote this information for a few friends that asked how I stay in shape and keep my figure. This is the information that I gave them. </div>
<br />
<div style="text-align: center;">
First for some pictures of my results and being in my best shape! </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
(I am wearing a bra here but blocked it out because I did not want the girls hanging out with these pictures being on the internet!)</div>

<br />
<div style="text-align: center;">
This next picture shows my progression. During this past summer and spring (2013) I had been suffering from bad back pain and wasn't able to work out as much as I used to. Once I got help from my doctor and a physical therapist, I then was super motivated to work out again. I saw these results in a matter of 2 months!! (the picture to the far right that says "now" was at the end of August/early September)</div>

<span style="font-family: "Berlin Sans FB","sans-serif"; font-size: 16.0pt; line-height: 115%; mso-bidi-font-family: Aharoni;">Most people also think that cardio is the key to
losing fat. Cardio does help with losing fat, but it also needs to be mixed
with strength training (weight lifting). I read an article that said runners
who run marathons or long distance actually stress their bodies to a point
where the body will retain fat (Not saying that running is bad). Lifting heavy
weights actually helps you to burn calories for HOURS after your workout
because your muscles are doing work trying to repair themselves, therefore you
are using energy (calories).<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div align="center" class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: center;">

<span style="font-family: "Berlin Sans FB","sans-serif"; font-size: 16.0pt; line-height: 115%; mso-bidi-font-family: Aharoni;">My favorite way to work out is to do most of my
heavy lifting at the beginning of my workout followed by cardio afterwards. The
heavy lifting at the beginning will burn the stored carbohydrates from food and
once that is all burned you hit your body with cardio afterwards to burn <span style="color: red;">PURE FAT! YES</span><o:p></o:p></span></div>

<span style="font-family: "Berlin Sans FB","sans-serif"; font-size: 16.0pt; line-height: 115%; mso-bidi-font-family: Aharoni;">I usually will do 4 different weight lifting
exercises, each 4 times. ( For example: ill do a set of squats 6-8 times and
repeat that 4 more times.. I then move on to the next exercise) There are two
kind of muscle fibers that you want to work: slow twitch and fast twitch fibers
(remember this from anatomy??..lol). The way to work slow twitch fibers is
through using heavier weights with less reps (for example: as much weight as
you can do for 6-8 reps). The way to work fast twitch fibers is through lighter
weights but more reps (a weight that you can comfortably do 12-15 times) SO
earlier when I said I usually do 4 different weight lifting exercises, I
alternate one slow twitch workout with one fast twitch workout (slow twitch
exercise, fast twitch exercise, slow twitch exercise, fast twitch exercise).<o:p></o:p></span></div>

<span style="font-family: "Berlin Sans FB","sans-serif"; font-size: 16.0pt; line-height: 115%; mso-bidi-font-family: Aharoni;">Circuit training is one of the ways I get my
cardio in after I lift my heavy weights. Basically circuit training consists of
4 different exercises done as fast as you can for 4 or 5 rounds. (Start with 3
rounds and work your way up!) I do not use heavy weights for this and try to do
each exercise 10-15 times. <o:p></o:p></span></div>

circuit training...<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div align="center" class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: "Berlin Sans FB","sans-serif"; font-size: 16.0pt; line-height: 115%; mso-bidi-font-family: Aharoni;">Burpees (these are hard)<br />
Jumping Jacks<br />
Jump ropeing <br />
Box jumps (I like these)<br />
push ups<br />
Bicycle abs<br />
Goblet squats (one of my favorites..)<br />
Sumo squats<br />
Body weight squats<br />
body weight lunges<br />
Jumping lunges<br />
ETC..<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div align="center" class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: "Berlin Sans FB","sans-serif"; font-size: 16.0pt; line-height: 115%; mso-bidi-font-family: Aharoni;">(If you do not know what some of these are, look them up on Youtube)</span></div>

<span style="font-family: "Berlin Sans FB","sans-serif"; font-size: 16.0pt; line-height: 115%; mso-bidi-font-family: Aharoni;">So basically you could choose 3 or 4 of the
exercises listed above and do each one you picked 10-15 times for 3-4 rounds.
The cardio part is trying to go as fast as you can! You can also find a lot of
exercises to do for circuit training on pinterest. <br />

I then will sprint on the treadmill for 40 seconds<br />
Once that 40 seconds is up I jump back on to the sides of the treadmill for my
rest period for 20 seconds <br />
I usually move my speed up by .5 every time until I reach 10.5 which is very
fast for me! <o:p></o:p></span></div>

Anyways, as you will see I have been super into pink and coral lips for summer!</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">

<div style="text-align: center;">
Many know about these beloved highlighter/shimmer/eye shadow powders from The Balm. These two have quickly become two of my favorite pieces in my makeup collection. As of lately, Betty has been making more of an appearance on my face because of the darker shade of my skin these summer months. The quality of these powders is awesome with both being buttery smooth and very pigmented. They have multiple purposes such as a highlighter, bronzer, and even an eyeshadow. My favorite way to use them is to give my cheeks a healthy glow. These powders retail for $24 on the Balm's website, however, they often are featured on the discount website Hautelook where I think I paid $12 each for them. </div>

I don't know if any of my followers remember me or my blog, but I am back! I haven't been steadily posting since last summer due to staying busy with school and work. Now that it is summer and I have some time I am hoping to do a lot more posts! </div>

<div style="text-align: center;">
Hey everybody! </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I was tagged by Ariel from <a href="http://www.chiclookxo.com/"><span style="color: magenta;">Chic Look xo</span></a> to do the "Mustache Tag"!</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I love all the things that have mustaches on them and I once had a mustache ring but lost it. :(</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Here is me with my poorly drawn mustache. I think this paired with the flannel shirt makes me look like a lumberjack? </div>

Hey guys!</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
If you have followed my blog long, then you know that I am a big fan of the Maybelline Color Tattoo eye shadows. I own almost all of the original colors. Today, while browsing through target, I noticed a display of new Color Tattoo colors! I went nuts. I picked up 3 of the 4 new colors which are: "Fuchsia Fever", "Blue on By", and "Ready, Set, Green".</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I have not worn any of the colors, since I just picked them up today. But, when swatching them, I noticed that "Ready, Set, Green" was the most pigmented, followed by "Fuchsia Fever", and the least pigmented and most streaky was "Blue on By". </div>

Hello again.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
I received an e-mail a week or so ago about Urban Decay having a sale. Whenever I hear that Urban Decay is having products on sale, I have to check it out. The sale items include eye shadows, eye shadow palettes, lipstick, lip gloss, etc. I only picked up two of their eye shadows, for $9, in colors that I had been eyeing for a while. </div>

<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<b>Free Love</b> is described as a "peach shimmer"</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<b>Psychedelic Sister</b> is described as a "bright purple" with shimmer. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>

Hey girls! </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
I just wanted to let you all know that I have made my first YouTube Video! After getting a new camera that actually has a decent video function, I had been contemplating whether or not to start making YouTube videos, since watching YouTube videos is really what got me more into makeup. After having trouble editing, converting, and uploading the video, I have finally posted my first one. This video is a tutorial for creating a basic smokey eye using Urban Decay's Naked 2 palette shown in the pictures below. I added the actual video to this blog post, but I would love it if you all would go to my <a href="http://www.youtube.com/thedaniellevaughn"><span style="color: magenta;">YouTube channel</span> </a>, check it out, and leave me comments of constructive criticism! I will be trying to make higher quality, less awkward, and better edited videos in the future. </div>

Hello!<br />
I am back with probably my 2nd favorites post since starting my blog. haha I don't usually do them but I felt the need to share these great products with all of you! July has been a fun and crazy month. I turned 21 on the 1st of July and have been working like crazy while trying to squeeze in some personal time! I hope everyone had a great July and is having a good summer!<br />
<br />
Here are some products that I have been loving.<br />
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<b><span style="font-size: large;">Mac Pleasureseeker Lip Stick and Josie Maran Magic Marker Cheek and Lip Stain in Tango</span></b></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
This lip stain paired with Pleasureseeker on top have been my go to combo. Tango is a bright peach stain and Pleasureseeker compliments and tones it down when worn on top. </div>

<b><span style="font-size: large;">Victoria's Secret Vanilla Lace Body Lotion</span></b></div>

<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
This is probably my all time favorite Victoria Secret scent. I have purchased this body lotion in the past and completely used it up. I got this one with a coupon that I received for my birthday and am almost out of it! It is the perfect vanilla scent that sticks around all day long. I love putting this on my arms and legs for a lasting scent. :)</div>

<div style="text-align: center;">
<b><span style="font-size: large;">Tarte Bronzer in Park Avenue Princess </span></b></div>

I picked up the mini pack of this and Tarte's Amazonian Clay blush in Dollface. I have been using this bronzer almost every day on my cheeks as a blush. It really warms up my face. And, since this bronzer contains a hint of shimmer/sheen it really brings out and highlights my cheeks. Love! </div>

<div style="text-align: center;">
<b><span style="font-size: large;">Dove Nourishing Oil Care Detangler </span></b></div>

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
I saw a review of this on a fellow blog and decided to pick it up. I love that this can be used on either wet or dry hair. I use this when my hair is damp. But, I love it especially on my dry hair to add some life and shine. </div>

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
For my birthday, I received a gift card to Sephora and this is what I purchased. This stuff is amazing. When I am not feeling very tan or my self tanner has worn off, I just use this to give me a deep bronzing glow. And, it smells amazing! Kind of like a mixture of vanilla, chocolate, caramel, YUM.</div>

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Recently, Bath and Body works had their semi-annual sale. This body spray was 75% off so why not get another body spray? This scent is in Forever Sunshine and it has been my go-to scent this month. But, I was informed by one of the ladies at Bath and Body Works won't be carrying this scent anymore. Bummer. </div>

I want to share with you a hair product that I have been using frequently these past couple months.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
The highly loved brand, Macadamia, recently came out with a new product called <b>Macadamia Natural Oil Flawless</b>. Seeing this pop up on the counter of Ulta, I decided to take a risk in paying the $33 for this product that I couldn't read any reviews on and knew next to nothing about. <i>Flawless</i> is a cleansing conditioner. Most ladies that I talked to about this product did not know what a cleansing conditioner was. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
A <b>cleansing conditioner</b>, such as the popular "Wen" cleansing conditioner, is a product that acts as both a shampoo and conditioner in one. Cleansing conditioners take the form of a regular conditioner, being very thick and having little to no lather. A cleansing conditioner can also be used in conjunction with shampoo to fully eliminate left over styling products from the hair. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
According to Macadamia, Flawless is more than just the normal cleansing conditioner...</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-wg7TcImaU80/UBrEQL2_eNI/AAAAAAAABu8/e0as-nyXpnU/s1600/006.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="480" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-wg7TcImaU80/UBrEQL2_eNI/AAAAAAAABu8/e0as-nyXpnU/s640/006.JPG" width="640" /></a></div>
<br />
<div style="text-align: center;">

<div style="text-align: center;">
Flawless is an innovative system that combines cleansing, conditioning, and ideal hair refinement in one product. Immediate and perfect balance is restored to any hair type, giving gentle and thorough surfactant-free hair cleansing.<br />
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<b>What it does</b></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">

<br />

<span style="font-size: xx-small;">(from <a href="http://www.macadamiahair.com/products/view/flawless">Macadamia website</a>)</span><br />
<br />
<b>Ingredients </b><br />
Water, Cetearyl Alcohol, Isopentane, Dimethicone, Glycerin, Decyl Glucoside, Stearalkonium Chloride, Behentrimonium Methosulfate, Glyceryl Stearate, Peg-100 Stearate, Macadamia Integrifolia (Macadamia) Seed Oil, Flower Extract, Panthenol, Hydrolyzed Vegetable Protien Pg-propyl Silanteriol, Oleanolic Acid, Apigenin, Isobutane, Phenoxyethanol, Hydroxyethylcellulose, Ceteth-10 Phosphate, Dicetyl Phosphate, Steapyrium Chloride, Tetrasodium Edta, Ppg-buteth-26, Peg-40Hydrogenated Castor Oil, Methylchloroisothiazolinone, Methylisothiazolinone, Biotinoyl Tripeptide-1, Fragrance (parfum)<br />
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<b>Directions</b></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Lightly emulsify 1 to 2 pumps between hands. Apply to wet hair and gently massage spreading Flawless over hair and scalp area. Continuously massage throughout the hair for 3 to 5 minutes depending on hair type. Add a splash of water to assist in the spreading if needed. Rinse thoroughly.<br />
<br />
Flawless comes in a typical aluminum type can, similar to what a hairspray would be in, with a pump on the end.<br />
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
The consistency of the conditioner, when first pumped out of the bottle, is that of a foam. It quickly becomes more of a thick conditioner once leaving the can. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I think like most people, I am BIG on shampoos and conditioners smelling good. If it doesn't smell good, I probably won't use it. The smell of this is very clean and kind of plant/flower smelling. (I'm not very good at describing scents) It does not smell anywhere similar to the healing oil or the deep conditioning masque. However, I still love the smell. </div>

<br />
<div style="text-align: center;">
And the big question.. Does it do what it claims to?</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<b>All-in-one cleansing and conditioning system</b></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Yes. Most days when washing my hair, this is all that I use. I do not start with any other shampoo and I do not use another conditioner after. It is weird thinking that slathering a conditioner onto your hair will actually clean it. But, my hair feels more clean than it does when I use regular shampoo and conditioner. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<b>Refines hairs texture</b></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Yes. After using this my hair feels clean and especially soft. One of the biggest things that I have noticed is how shiny my hair and bouncy my hair is after using this. I have never used another shampoo/conditioner that has made my hair have so much volume without using another product or even blow drying. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<b>Optimizes styling process</b></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Kind of. Since my hair comes out so volumized, I find it kind of hard to style! ha</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<b>Drastically cuts down blow drying time</b></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Yes. I have been letting my hair air dry mostly during using this and it dries so much faster than it would when using a heavy conditioner. The times that I have blow dried my hair I have noticed the difference as well. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<b>Perfect for all hair types.</b> </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Maybe. I am not very knowledgeable when it comes to different hair types. Some people with thick, unruly hair my not feel that a cleansing conditioner is for them. I do feel that this is great for those with thin hair or those who feel that conditioners typically weigh down their hair. I also think this is great for those with dry/damaged hair. This is my hair type. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
For the first time in a while, I am paying more attention to the health of my hair. I am currently trying to grow my hair out and I feel that this product is helping in that. After using this cleansing conditioner, I don't think that I will be able to go back to using regular shampoo and conditioner. It feels so much healthier and less drying on my hair. One mistake I had when using this product was not washing it out all the way. Doing this made my hair have a weird texture. The only downside that I see to this product is the price for how much you get. <b>It is $33 for 8 fl. oz</b>. Which is not much. I have already gone through one whole bottle of this and am starting on my second one. I do think I will purchase this again but maybe with one of the value sets found on the <a href="http://www.macadamiahair.com/"><span style="color: magenta;">Macadamia Website</span></a>.</div>

Hey guys!</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
So lately I have been being very bland and boring with my makeup due to lack of time and energy to make the effort to do it. I have been working a lot especially in the early morning and who likes doing their makeup at 5 a.m? haha But, one of the days that I worked later at Ulta, I decided to play around with my Urban Decay shadows and here is what I came up with. :)</div>

<div style="text-align: center;">
Sorry about the title.. I couldn't help myself. ;) </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Anyways, MAC recently launched the Heavenly Creature collection containing different mineralize skinfinishes, mineralize blushes, lipsticks, etc. The only thing that I decided to order from this collection was the lipstick in <b><i>Pleasureseeker</i></b>. What drew me to this color was the fact that it is a peachy nude. I own many (MANY) nude lipsticks but not a lot of pink or peach nude lipsticks. Ironically, MAC's Shy Girl, another peachy nude that is compared to Pleasureseeker, was the first lipstick that I ever bought from MAC. I tried it out and decided that it was too light for my tan skin tone and ended up trading it on Makeupalley (which ended up being swaplifted -_-). Despite my bad luck with shy girl, I am loving the peach nude color that Pleasureseeker delivers. This is a glaze formula so it is a little bit of a lighter pigment than other formulas, but it still delivers a beautiful wash of color that brings life to the lips. It is not drying on my lips (it feels more like a lip gloss/lipstick cross). But, it also does not last as long as other lipsticks. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Despite it lasting only an hour or two on my lips, I am loving this lipstick and it is quickly becoming one of my favorites. I feel like this lipstick would look great on most skin tones unless you are fairly dark, it may be too light. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Pleasureseeker is currently still available on MAC's website for $14.50. <a href="http://www.maccosmetics.com/product/shaded/9158/310/New-Collections/Heavenly-Creature-Colour/Lips/Lipstick/index.tmpl"><span style="color: magenta;">Click Here</span></a> to check it out! </div>

Hello! </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Browsing the Makeup and Beauty section on Pinterest, I stumbled upon a gorgeous nude nail polish and I had to have it! <b>Essie's Topless and Barefoot</b> is a light beige nude with a pink undertone. It is very similar to Sand Tropez but a little less beige. The formula of this nail polish is a bit streaky on the first application, but with a second coat, it turns out to be very opaque. I have worn this color when being tan as well as being pale after my self tanner wore off. It looked great both times and did not wash out my nails. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
This is my first nude nail polish and I may be addicted now...</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">

Hi Beauties! </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Making my rounds at Rite Aid, I spotted a new collection from <b>Maybelline</b> called <i>Colorsensational Porcelains</i>. Since I am a sucker for nude lipsticks, I picked up a couple of the lipsticks from this collection. The two that I chose were <b>Smooth Taupe</b> which is an icy light nude and <b style="background-color: white;">Nude Nuances</b> which is an icy pink nude. The color Nude Nuances is thought to be a dupe for MAC's Hue lipstick. Looking at comparison swatches, they seem to be very similar! </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Looking at the bottom of the lipsticks' color guide in the store, I thought these lipsticks would be a little bit darker than what they are on the lips. Smooth Taupe looks kind of ridiculous on me with my tan skin. I tried it on and showed my boy friend and he told me that it looked like I had just gotten done eating powdered donuts. Not a good look...</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="background-color: white;">Nude Nuances, on me, looks a little bit better. It is still pretty light but it doesn't look super </span><span style="background-color: white;">awkwardly</span><span style="background-color: white;"> light. What I have been doing with these lipsticks, is using them to tone down my brighter pink and coral lipsticks. Like all of the other Maybelline lipsticks, they have a great moisturizing formula and color payoff. I wish two colors were a little darker for my complexion right now, but I know these colors would be great for those of you who are lighter skinned! This collection, I have heard, has been hard to find. I was able to find it at my local Rite Aid but I did not see it at Ulta, Wal Mart, or Walgreens. The price of these lipsticks are around $7.49. </span></div>

<b><span style="font-size: large;">My Thoughts</span></b></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
First off I would like to mention that the smell of this is so YUM. It has a smell of a mix of chocolate and coffee that lingers on the skin long after being put on. The texture of this is typical to any body butter: very thick and creamy. The difference that I noticed in the texture of this body butter compared to others that I have used is that it <i>isn't as</i> greasy feeling. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I would have to say that this body butter is very moisturizing. I like to take showers at night and use this directly after all over my body. When I wake up in the morning, my skin is so soft and really feels hydrated. Previous to buying this, I had been using The Body Shop Shea Body Butter as my all over moisturizer to help prolong the life of my self tanner. I do love this body butter but it can be quite expensive from $18 to $25 dollars, depending. I really wanted to find a cheaper alternative since I use it every day, if not two times a day. I do believe that the Tree Hut Shea Body Butter will be a very good replacement to this. The only real difference that I notice between the two (besides the smell) is the texture. The Body Shop Shea Body Butter is def. more easily spreadable and a tad more greasy feeling. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<b><span style="font-size: large;">Price and Where to Find</span></b></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
The Tree Hut Shea Body Butter is around $6 to $8 dollars for 7 oz (depending on where you purchase it at). I bought mine at Wal Mart but I know this brand is also sold at Ulta and other drug stores. The shea body butters by Tree Hut also come in a number of other scents. :)</div>

Hello everyone! </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I don't know if any of you have noticed, but I have been absent from blogging for a while. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Life has been kind of busy. Between trying to pack all of my stuff and move into a new apartment, I spent a week vacation in Austin, Texas for my cousin's graduation. Previous to this, I had never been to Texas before. First impression... It is HOT. All the days that I was there it was pretty much 90 degrees and sunny. It was so beautiful there and a really cool city. I had a relaxing and fun time while being able to visit with all of my family. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Here are some pictures from my trip..</div>

<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Ok ladies, this is my first ever skin care routine featured on my blog. I have always had trouble deciding what face products to use that will work well with my skin. I feel like I have finally gotten a great routine down that is keeping my skin clear and healthy looking to the point where some days I don't feel like I <i>need</i> to wear foundation. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
For reference..</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
My skin is <b>combination </b>leaning more towards the oily side in my T zone. I have pretty large and visible pores. My skin does not usually break out with certain products. The only breakouts I get are caused by hormones or not fully cleaning my face. On a side note, I did have a horrible breakout reaction to the supplement Biotin. I started taking it in order to help my hair and nails and it made my skin more oily and start breaking out. :/ </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Anyways, here is my skin care routine!</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
It's pretty simple. </div>

<b>Cetaphil Daily Face Cleanser for Normal to Oily Skin</b></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
LOVE LOVE LOVE this stuff. I had used so many different kinds of face washes prior to this. I was recommended this by many people and always read great reviews on it so I decided to try it. It is so simple yet works so well with every skin tone. I purchased the cleanser for normal to oily skin. This keeps my skin hydrated without making it oily throughout the day which is what I experienced with other facial cleansers. This is def. my holy grail and I will always repurchase. </div>

<b>Neutrogena Pore Refining Toner</b></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
This is acutally a recent find of mine. I was stocking the shelves at Ulta (this is how I find many products I want to try haha), found this, and decided to try it. I had never used a toner before this. This has quickly become another one of my holy grail products. After washing my face with Cetaphil and drying my face, I put a generous amount of this toner on a cotton circle thing, and put it on all areas of my face. I have really seen a significant reduction in the size of my pores with using this. This product also contains Salicylic Acid which smooths out my complextion and really helps in preventing breakouts due to excess oil and dirt. </div>

<b>Olay Comeplete SPF 15 Moisturizer for Sensitive Skin</b></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
I use this as my everyday moisturizer. When looking for a moisturizer I wanted something that contained a sunscreen but wouldn't make my skin extra oily and feel gross. This moisturizer is perfect for that. Although my skin is not very sensitive, I chose the sensitive formula just in case! I put this all over my face and neck after my Nutrogena Pore Refining Toner has dried. </div>

<b>Loreal Revitalife Eye Cream</b></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
I have been using eye cream ever since I was in middle school (might as well start early?). Since I got my dad's skin, I pretty much know that when I get older I will have crows feet and bags under my eyes. I really do not have a preference when it comes to eye cream but this one works really well and it is inexpensive. </div>

<b>Walgreens Makeup Removing Towelettes</b></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
At the end of the day, I start out my skin care routine by trying to remove as much makeup as I can using makeup removing towelettes. Since I use these everyday, I try to look for ones that are pretty inexpensive. My favorite would have to be the Walgreens and Wal-Mart brand towelettes that are compared to more expensive brands. They work just as well and I like that they have a bit of texture to the towelette to help remove excess makeup. </div>

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
I also use my pore refining toner again the same way as previously mentioned. I like that I can get away with using this twice a day without it drying out my face at all. This is the final step in removing any makeup that was left over from the day. </div>

<b>Loreal Revitalift Face and Neck</b></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
After all the products that go on the face during the day, it is important to restore the moisture and help repair the skin on the face. At night is when I use a thick moisturizer targeted at restoring moisture and helping prevent lines and wrinkles. This specific moisturizer actually came in a pack with the Revitalift eye cream. I love the feel of this moisturizer on my face. It is super thick and I really feel like it is moisturizing my skin very well. I feel like I do not need to spend loads of money on moisturizer when the drug store brands work well for me! </div>

<b>Queen Helene Mint Julep Masque</b></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
I use this mask on days that my face is just not looking its greatest. I also use this as a spot treatment on pimples as it dries them out very nicely. This masque smells very minty like tooth paste and kind of tingles/burns when I put it on. I leave this on for 15 minutes, wash it off with warm water and a wash cloth, and my skin looks refreshed and smooth. </div>

I use this product once a week to exfoliate my skin. To use this, I put the Cetahil cleanser all over my face, put this brush on the highest setting, and work it on my face for about a minute. It is an inexpensive alternative to the Clarisonic brushes. </div>

This is a recent purchase of mine since we are nearing the summer months where it is very important to protect the delicate skin of our face from the sun. When looking for a face sunscreen, I wanted something that was at least SPF 30, had broad spectrum coverage, was light weight, and wouldn't cause my skin to be more oily or break out. This had everything that I was looking for! I have only used this a few times, but I know it will be great for the summer. It is a very thin formula so it does not <i>feel</i> like I have sunscreen on my face. I used this under my usual foundation and makeup and it did not feel any different. </div>

Did I mention that I have an obsession with bronzers?</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Yes, I have added <i>yet another</i> bronzer to my ever-expanding collection. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
When I first set my eyes on the Bare Escentuals/Minerals new "Ready" bronzers I was very intrigued. I had heard good reviews about their bronzer in "Warmth", but steered away from it because it is a loose powder. (Not a big fan of loose powder messes)</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Seeing that a lot of people like the Bare Minerals/Escentuals brand, I figured this would be a good first product for me to buy from the brand. Being the bronzer and tan fanatic that I am, I decided on the darkest color of the three bareMinerals Ready bronzers available. <b>"The Deep End"</b>, appropriately named, is the darkest being labeled as dark tan. </div>

<b><span style="font-size: x-large;">My Thoughts</span></b></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
I have been using this bronzer for the past week or two and have been really loving it. The color of this bronzer is a deep, dark tan with a hint of golden bronze. In the pan, this seems to have a slight hint of shimmer. But, on the skin, it shows up completely matte. For this reason, I have been using this as my contour color for the hollows of my cheeks, sides of my nose, top of my forehead, and on my jawline. I love that since it is so dark, it actually shows up as a contour on my already tan skin. (It can be hard to find a bronzer dark that is enough!) The texture of this is very smooth and goes on seamlessly. The color, at first, goes on very sheer and is buildable to the darker color seen in the swatch. This is another reason I like it as a contour. If it were to go on very dark at first, I would probably end up with way too much bronzer!</div>

While stocking the shelves at Ulta a week or two ago, I noticed this line of hair care products in pink and purple bottles that caught my eye. The brand was <a href="http://www.leestafford.com/"><span style="color: magenta;">Lee Stafford</span></a>. After researching a bit, I found out that Lee Stafford is a veteran hair stylist that made his own product line. I had never heard of these hair products before but I decided to try out the <b>"Beach Babe Sea Salt Spray"</b>. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
This defining Sea Salt Spray will bring out the tousled textured look you can usually only get after swimming in the sea..until now! Hair will still feel soft to touch but with added bounce, definition, and body to die for! </div>

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
In these pictures, I followed the directions by spraying my hair (I only sprayed the bottom, not my bangs.) 10 or more times with the spray while my hair was wet/damp. I then let my hair dry naturally. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
My hair is naturally a little bit wavy and this really brought out my waves while giving it a messy beach texture. :)</div>

<b><span style="font-size: x-large;">My Thoughts</span></b></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<b><br /></b></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I have never used a beach hair or sea salt spray on my hair before. Overall, I am very happy with the results of this product! I have used this several times since I have purchased it and probably my favorite way to use it is on my second day unwashed dry hair. I either spray it on my loose hair or put my hair in a side braid and spray it directly onto the braid and let it set. This makes my hair look and feel instantly "beachy" and brings some life to my flat unwashed hair. This product has a very strong smell of hemp with a hint of sunflower undertones. And, when I say strong, I mean VERY strong. If you were to spray this in your hair in the morning, you would most likely still smell it by the end of the day. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I think this will be a great product to use in the summer for the UV protection as well as for hot days when I don't feel like styling my hair.</div>

Summer is my <b><span style="color: #6fa8dc;">absolute favorite</span></b> time of the year and it is right around the corner. I love the sun and the high temperatures that make you want to do nothing but swim all day long. Although we are not quite out of Spring where I live, I know a lot of you who live in the south are already experiencing the summer-like weather. Here in Michigan, our summers get pretty hot, but also very humid. This high humidity is one of my makeup's worst enemies. So, certain makeup prodcuts must be worn differently in the summer compared to all year round. Also, summer is a time when your skin needs to be looking it's best with bronzing glow and bright fun colors!</div>

In order to make anything last, you need a good base. Foundation and eye shadow primer are musts for me in the summer as well as year round. My favorite eye shadow primer of all time is <a href="https://www.toofaced.com/p-544-shadow-insurance-anti-crease-eye-shadow-primer.aspx?"><span style="color: black;"><b>Too Faced Eye Shadow Insurance</b> </span></a>. Compared to all of the other eye shadow primers I have tried, this is the best, in my opinion. It goes on super silky and creamy. With this, your eye shadow, whether cream or powder, will not budge and crease at all. This is especially needed in the summer when your skin is warmer and sweating more than normal. My current favorite face primer also happens to be from Too Faced. It is the <a href="https://www.toofaced.com/p-1183-primed-poreless-pure-oil-free-skin-smoothing-face-primer-for-sensitive-skin.aspx"><b><span style="color: black;">Too Faced Primed and Poreless Pure</span> </b></a>which came out in Too Faced's summer 2012 collection. This primer is oil free and mattifying. These are two great qualities that you will want in a primer for the summer especially if your skin is sensitive or oily. My skin tends to get VERY oily in the summer and I need a mattifying primer to keep it under control and make my face makeup last. </div>

During the summer time I like to wear the least amount of makeup on my face as possible in order to reduce breakouts. Tinted moisturizer is great for the summer. It contains a tint of color that will even out the skin without feeling heavy like a foundation. Most tinted moisturizers contain sunscreen which is much needed during the summer time. I can't stress how important it is to protect the skin on your face from the sun since the face is one of the most common areas for skin cancer. I love the <a href="http://www.eyeslipsface.com/studio/face/tinted_moisturizer/tinted_moisturizer_spf_20"><b><span style="color: black;">E.L.F Tinted Moisturizer </span></b></a>because it contains an SPF of 20 and it is super cheap! The color match of this tinted moisturizer is great and it feels so good on!</div>

Bronzer acts as double duty for me. First, since I dust it all over my entire face, it helps to mattify my face and help make my foundation or tinted moisturizer last longer. Second, it gives my face a beautiful deep, brown tan. I really like to use matte deep brown bronzers since I use them all over my face as well as to contour. If you don't want to use a bronzer all over the face, but rather on your cheeks for a subtle glow, you would be able to get away with using a bronzer containing shimmer or a sparkle. My all time holy grail bronzer is <a href="https://www.toofaced.com/p-1023-chocolate-soleil-matte-bronzing-powder.aspx?"><b><span style="color: black;">Too Faced Chocolate Soliel</span></b> </a>(I didn't realize how much I like Too Faced ha!). Very similar to Chocolate Soliel is <a href="http://www.benefitcosmetics.com/product/view/hoola"><span style="color: black;"><b>Benefit's Hoola Bronzer</b></span></a>. A less expensive alternative to these two is <a href="http://www.newyorkcolor.com/products/face/bronzer/smooth-skin-bronzing-face-powder"><b><span style="color: black;">NYC Bronzing Face Powder</span></b></a>. </div>

I don't know if anyone else feels the same that I do, but I HATE the feeling of lipstick in hot weather. If it's super hot and humid, lipstick on my lips just makes me feel EW. An alternative to wearing lipstick while still having color on the lips is a lip stain. You are doing exactly as it says, staining the lips. Most lip stains come in the marker form so they are very easy to apply. One of my favorites is <a href="http://www.revlon.com/Revlon-Home/Products/Lips/Lipcolor/Revlon-Just-Bitten-Lipstain-and-Balm-By-Colorstay.aspx"><b><span style="color: black;">Revlon's Just Bitten Lipstain + Balm</span></b> </a> in Passion. The Revlon Lipstains include the lipstsain on one end as well as a lip balm on the opposite end to help moisturize the lips after applying the stain. Lipstains literally last for hours. Since you are <i>staining</i> the lips, the color is pretty permanent when you put it on. Some of the color will wear off at the end of the day and the rest can be taken off with makeup remover. </div>

Waterproof mascara is a no brainer. Usually I do not use waterproof mascara since it is very hard for me to get off, but in the summer I feel like I need it, especially if I will be outside at the lake or pool. I wouldn't consider the Covergirl Lash Blast my favorite, but this is the only waterproof mascara that I own at the moment. </div>

Not only do I love cream shadows and eye liners for the summer, but I love them in bright colors! Cream shadows, to me, are just easy. I apply them with my finger all over my lid, blend them a little in my crease, and I am good to go! I know that I have gone on and on about the <a href="http://www.maybelline.com/products/164/eyes/eye-shadow/eye-studio-color-tattoo-24hr-cream-gel-shadow/tenacious-teal/40?shadeId=917"><span style="color: black;"><b>Maybelline Color Tattoo Eye Shadows </b></span></a>, but these will be great for the summer. Especially on top of eye shadow primer, the color, vibrancy, and texture of these will last all day long. One of my favorite eye looks to wear in the summer is a bronze or gold color on my lid paired with a bright color eye liner on my lower lash line for a pop of color. The <a href="http://www.urbandecay.com/24-7-glide-on-eye-pencil/122,default,pd.html?start=2&cgid=9999&prefn1=isBestSeller&prefv1=true"><span style="color: black;"><b>Urban Decay 24/7 Glide-On Eye Pencils </b></span></a> are great for this. These, like the color tattoos, are very long wearing and once you let them set, they will last all day. I wish I could buy these in every color!<br />

To finish it off any type of makeup look, some type of long wearing makeup setting spray is key, specifically <a href="http://www.urbandecay.com/all-nighter-makeup-setting-spray/237,default,pd.html?start=8&cgid=9999&prefn1=isBestSeller&prefv1=true"><b><span style="color: black;">Urban Decay's All Nighter</span></b></a>. I used this product all last summer and I do not know how my makeup would have lasted without it. This product sets makeup so the face will look less powdery and more natural. It also acts to keep skin matte. This claims to help makeup last for 16 hours and it does live up to it's claim. I would not go a day without using this product, especially in the summer. </div>
