Skincare Routine!

Recently I have been getting a couple skin compliments from strangers which is always quite pleasant so I thought I would share my skincare routine! I will admit my skin is much improved from what it used to be. I am quite oily and acne prone but the acne is finally clearing up! That is thanks to these two products given to me by my dermatologist. I use one in the morning and one at night. I love them because they use benzoyl peroxide instead of salicyclic acid which I am allergic to. However I think a lot if my skin success is due to how particular I am about the routine. I can't skip it even if it's late at night. It's a compulsion. 

I try to use one of these masks once a week. I really like the results! They do a great job and getting rid of impurities.

And here's some products I use regularly! The first two are my daily cleanser and moisturizer. I am in love with the cleanser but could use a new moisturizer. This one  isn't super rich and moisturizing like my skin needs. I also try to use that scrub every few days or when my skin feels super oily! I hope this helped someone out in cyberspace.

Urban Decay Naked Skin Foundation Review!

A few months ago I purchased the Urban Decay Naked Skin Weightless Ultra Definition Liquid Makeup. (What a name!) I just thought I would put together a little review on my thoughts about it since it's become a new favorite very quickly. First of all, I chose the color 2.0. I wanted a liquid foundation that had medium coverage and would keep my face relatively matte. This product fulfills both of those perfectly! The coverage is just enough to even out my skin without being cakey and it doesn't make me oily. It keeps me matte a good deal longer than other foundations I've tried. It wears really well and blends into my skin so nicely. I am definitely wanting to repurchase this and make it my HG foundation. The price is a bit high at $36 bit I do feel like it is worth it for the quality of the product and how much of it is in the bottle. (Although we will see how fast I go through it since I use it every day!) I highly recommend this to people my age because it's a fast fix and it's mattifying but I think it would work for anyone with oily skin looking for a medium amount of coverage. 

Cranberry obsession?

I didn't realize until just now how great cranberries really are. And how much I seem to like them. I appear to have a growing collection of cranberry products? But honestly, cranberry is kind of the ultimate November scent. Leave pumpkin for October! Cranberry is perfect for thanksgiving anyway. I love my moms cranberry dishes. And this candle and body butter are heaven! I recommend. Xoxo Katie

The babies have arrived!!

No, not actual babies. I'm talking about the beautiful pair of Tory Burch Reva flats I just ordered from Nordstrom! They were 25% off and I've been wanting them forever so I took advantage. I couldn't be happier. They are the perfect classic flat for me and they're very comfortable too. I wore them for the first time today. I love the way they pull together a simple outfit! I'm on the lookout for a better place to take mirror shots just by the way. My cardigan is J. Crew...more details to come. ;) xoxo Katie
