These are a few of my favorite things (for my face).

I thought I'd do a product review of things that I LOVE and cannot live without (: 

So I just recently discovered this scrub by Biore and I love it. It is a face wash and a scrub combined which is nice for lazy people like me. I mix it with a little bit of baking soda and mix it into a paste and use it morning and night. It's really good at getting all of my makeup off at the end of the day (which is good..because I wear a ton of makeup as you will see...) It keeps my pores clean and has actually shrunk them as I've used it over time. Highly recommend this junk right here. 

I use this stuff after washing my face. I put a little on a cotton ball and go nuts with it. It helps heal breakouts and cleans out and tightens my pores. It makes my skin feel super soft afterwards and it doesn't smell horrible so that's a bonus for sure. I've been using it for years and I swear by it.


I know there's been a lot of hype about coconut oil lately on the Interweb. But the hype is there for a reason. This junk rules. I use it after every shower as a lotion and it has made my stretchmarks from shooting up like 5 inches in one year almost disappear (side note- I never grew again. I'm obnoxiously average in height). I use it on my lashes at night and it helps repair them from the damage I do with falsies and mascara. It also is a great eye makeup remover for waterproof makeup. It's a great moisturizer. I put it in smoothies or mix it with hot water, lemon, and honey. You don't taste it but it helps you lose weight and is super good for you. So get on board.

My mom discovered this stuff on one of her home shopping networks or something like that. If you have a zit or a bad breakout, put a little bit on a Q-tip and on the zit/breakout overnight and you'll wake up in the morning and that Mount Vesuvius sized zit on your face will have SHRUNK. It's the closest thing to magic in a bottle. Except it really stinks. It has sulfur in it or something and it REALLY stinks. So wear PJ's you don't love and do laundry after. It's stinky but it's magical. How does the saying go... Pain is beauty? Stench is beauty? I guess...? Moving on....

I also take Vitamin E and Biotin. They are great for your hair, nails, and skin. I've also taken a Vitamin E tablet, busted it open, and put it directly on my lips when they are super chapped (I live in Idaho. Winter in Idaho is what I imagine hell as. So I get chapped lips a lot here). If you get under-eye bags, putting Vitamin E under your eyes before bed supposedly helps. I put it on my lashes along with coconut oil and it makes them super long and thick. Love it. 

Sidenote- EOS is awesome. Literally the best chapstick ever. Okay. Moving on to once you're done with all of the pre-makeup stuff with your face. These are the products I use on my face every day.



So these three products I use all combined. BB and CC cream (I prefer Revlon's PhotoReady and Almay's Smart Shades) are awesome. That's basically all I have to say about that. And I put Baby Skin on prior to applying BB and CC cream to use it as a primer. It literally makes my face look poreless (which I can assure you, it is NOT).

I use Covergirl's clean foundation when I need to. I don't always need it but it covers everything and is designed for oily skin (like me ): ). 

So these two powders, MAC's Studio Fix and elf's High Definition Powder to set my BB and CC cream. And I'm done. With my face. I'll do another one for eyes later. Right now I have to go sign up for classes. DO NOT EVER BECOME A SENIOR IN COLLEGE. Skip that year and just graduate. It would be more fun. 
Peace out.
