Hello friends and Happy November,

I’ve been testing out a lot of skincare products recently because my skin has been out of control. I’ve been trying prestige and drugstore skincare products and I want to do a special spotlight on these fruity skincare finds. First up:

Fresh’s Sugar Strawberry Exfoliating Face Wash

This face scrub is something I had my eye on all summer. When I finally bought it, I couldn’t wait to try it. The consistency is a gel form with sugar and strawberry looking seeds within it. The scrub is fairly light but feels extremely cleansing. You get a little bit of a tingle to your skin in mis use that feels like the product is doing its job. I feel that Fresh’s scrub has given my skin great improvement and I highly suggest, ESPECIALLY if you love strawberries and the scent like me.

Clean & Clear Lemon Juice Toner

The other fruity themed skincare item is this lemon scented toner. My skincare routine has been lacking a toner for a while and I must say, I’m certainly glad to be back using one again. I LOVE the smell of lemons and using this product is so refreshing and it works wonders. It’s ridiculous how much extra dirt it gets off your face after you remove makeup AND wash it. This product is a must have if you’re in need of a great toner for a low price.

Purchase either of those products here!

I’m so about a fruit scented skincare item, what about you? Let me know what kind of skincare you’d like to scented like your favorite fruit!

Hello friends,

It’s that time of year again where Ulta has their 21 Days of Beauty sale! This is a perfect time to stock up on those favorite prestige items or finally try that $30 bronzer you’ve had your eye on. Either way, you don’t want to miss out on this sale PLUS it lasts for 21 days!!! Here’s the catch, there are certain days that certain prestige items go on sale. For example, tomorrow (Sept. 1st) is the first day of the sale and Benefit’s Porefessional Primer is 50% off. BUT, it’s only on sale Sept. 1st, get it? I figured you would! You can easily find the calendar online or in the app and I’ll feature it at the bottom of my blog for you to check it out. Let’s get started:

• Benefit the Porefessional Pore Primer: If you’re looking for a primer to look like a filter, then look no further. This primer by benefit will make all your dreams come true! Sept. 1st- 50% off- $16 for Mini, $27 for Regular

• Urban Decay Mini Eyeshadow Potion Primer and Urban Decay Mini Setting Spray: These two products from Urban Decay are my favs and to be able to purchase these and get another free on top of it is a steal! Sept. 1st- 21st- Buy 2 Minis, Get 1 Free

• Benefit Hoola Matte Bronzing Powder: I recently received a sample of this raved about bronzer and I gotta say, I’m very impressed. The consistency of the bronzer glides on so well and pleasantly surprised me. Sept. 9th- 50% off- $15 for regular size

• Tarte Lights Camera Lashes 4 in 1 Mascara: I’ve been using this mascara for the last couple of months and I love how light it is on my lashes. Usually the consistency of mascara weighs down my lashes but this mascara does not. It’s super light and lengthens my lashes like there’s no tomorrow! Sept. 12th- 50% off- $11.50 for Regular size

• Lilly Lashes in Miami: These faux mink lashes are so fluffy and gorgeous. I’m obsessed with them and they are worth the price but even better when you can get them discounted. Sept. 1st- 21st- 30% off- $18.20 for one set

What I Want:

• Peter Thomas Roth Max Complexion Correction Pads: I’ve read the reviews and I’m SOLD! It has a Peach Bellini (my favorite) scent and helps clear your face for acne purposes. I can’t wait to snag these during the sale.

• Maybelline Super Stay Ink Crayon in Lead the Way: I’m in love with the Superstay Matte Ink Liquid Lipstick so I’m super curious to try this crayon out!

Welcome back friends or if you’re new, welcome! Today, I’ve decided to share with you all my skincare routine. Since there are multiple times you take care of your skin during the day, I decided to break it down in different blogs. This edition will be focused directly to my night time routine. I do not have perfect skin by any means (especially during my time of the month) so you will definitely see some blemishes in my video. But no one is perfect and I’m working on a better version of myself every day. So join me on achieving better skin for ourselves! I’ve been lucky enough to find products that I’ve been loving recently and it’s been making me want to commit to my skincare routine more frequently. I’m so excited to share with you some of these products because they make my skin feel so amazing afterwards. So, let’s get to it!

Product Breakdown:

(Photos are the links to the products)

  • Step 1- Grab a headband, whether it’s a terry cloth spa headband or just a casual plastic one. This is totally optional but I do it because I hate having wet hair around my face.

  • Step 2- *if wearing makeup* Grab your makeup wipe and wipe off all excess. Don’t scrub at the places that don’t wipe off easily, we’ll handle those places in our next step.

  • Step 3- Grab your Micellar Cleansing Water and pour some into your cotton pad. Then wipe excess makeup residue and those harder to get makeup areas (mascara/eyes, long lasting lipstick, etc) off. If you’re not wearing makeup, this cleansing water clears the face of all impurities before washing it. I’m going to link the one I used in the video to the photo above and the other option here. I’m also going to link another one that can be found at Walmart, Walgreens, Target, etc. They both do the same thing and I like either one.

  • Step 4- I grabbed my rubber face scrubber (I’ll link here) and applied the Tarte Rainforest of the Sea Deep Dive Face Cleanser. Once I’ve finished, I rinse my face off and pat dry.
  • Step 5- Then I grab my Tarte Rainforest of the Sea Drink of H2O Hydrating boost. I dab a penny size of product onto my finger and distribute it over my entire face. Make sure that you use your fingertips to gently blend the product into your skin.

  • Step 6- I finish off my night time routine with this new product I’ve started using recently. It’s the Kate Somerville EradiKate Acne Treatment which helps with pop up blemishes. I’m curious to see how well it works and will definitely let you all know my results with it in the future.

And it’s that simple. This whole routine takes about 10 minutes max! Stay tuned for my morning skincare routine and my favorite masks and more coming up soon in future blog posts. Let me know what you’d like to see if the comments below. Until next time,

Hey all,

I have some great products to share with you on this wonderful Friday! I don’t know about you, but I always find myself with 20 tabs open on my internet browser with things I want but don’t need. I think we all have those impulse buy days where we just decide to treat ourselves (I know I do haha). With that being said, I figured I could make a blog post out of it and share with you all my Five Fabulous Finds for this week. So without future ado, here they are:

1.) Meltdown– Currently, my skin has been crappy, so when I came across this product I was instantly intrigued. I think out of this list of my finds this week this is the most essential to me. Not so much of an “I want” product but more like a “I want and kind of need too” type.

2.) Pink Letter Board– Recently, these cute and fun looking boards are all the rage. People use them as decorations for their house, bedroom, events, parties, etc. I think this is so adorable, plus it’s pink, which is my favorite. This is so cute to add to your decor to spice it up a bit, plus it’s customizable! Also guys, it’s super affordable, win-win in my book.

3.) Tarte’s High Tides and Good Vibes Palette– I’m a big tarte lover, if you couldn’t tell by my basic makeup routine. I love their products and this palette is no different. I think this new addition is gorgeous and the pigment from the glitter shadows looks insane! This palette is going to be great for summer with all these vivid colors. Definitely worth a look!

4.) Bath Tub/Bed Tray– So I came across this Instagram blogger from Germany a week ago and she had the cutest picture at the top of her feed. It was her in the bath tub with a tray sitting on top with some of her favorite things. I was intrigued and got stuck scrolling through amazon for a similar tray. Unfortunately, my bath tub can’t support these types of tray (so dream ruined haha) but maybe my future home will have a better bathtub (fingers crossed). With that being said, I came across this tray and thought it would be amazing for me currently because not only is it a bath tub tray but you can also use it on your bed, couch, automan, bench, etc. I thought that was so cool and had to include it on this list.

5.) F87 Edge Kabuki– I know what a lot of you are thinking, what the heck is that? Well for starters, it’s a makeup brush. What else does it do? It applies foundation, concealer, and powder to hard to reach creases. Why do I have it on this list? Great question! I follow two beauty bloggers on Instagram (@exteriorglam & @annalovesyou) and they both highly suggest this brush for “baking” their concealer. I’ve watched them apply their powder with this brush by dabbing it into the powder then dabbing across the undereyes, forehead, and jawline (under contour). Needless to say, they made the process look seamless and it’s been sitting in my browser purgatory ever since.

And that’s it for this week’s edition of Katey’s Five Fabulous Finds on Friday! Let me know in the comments below if you own any of these products, plan to buy any of these, and/or how you feel about them. Thanks for reading all!
