Skin Care Routine

PICTURE HEAVY!!!!


NOTE: Try the products at your own risk. If it works for me, it doesn't mean it will work for you too. Everybody has different types of skin. Please do you own research.

MY SKIN CARE ROUTINE

I actually had been thinking of posting my skin care routine for months now but I don't know how to begin.. it's been a year since I lasted posted what I use to used.

I'll post what I use first...

I guess let's start in the MORNING.
I use
♥ Belo Soap
to wash my face

 then after I wash my face, if I'm going somewhere, I use any BB creams. I alternate these BB Creams that I have: 
♥ Maybelline BB Cream
otherwise, if I'm staying at home, I don't do anything after I was my face. (Click products for review).


Then I do more stuff at NIGHT.
 At night, I use
to remove my make up.

Then I wash my face with a cleanser. I alternate between:
Ponds White Beauty Cleanser,
~H20+ green tea cleanser

and when I have my period week, I use
Ponds Clear Solution


Then I moisturize using
Ponds White  Beauty Cream

I used to use my Vitacreme B12 which I LOVE! But I can't find it anywhere. I guess I lost it :(

Since I sometimes work night shifts, and sleep late all the time, I like to apply eye cream (sometimes I forget!!!) to depuff my eyes. I use


That's all I do everynight  but I also use some products ONCE A WEEK.

I use
Sheet masks
to hydrate my skin. I only do this once a week because when I do it twice a week, I get rashes or redness all over my skin :(

I also use
Vitamin E oil
and apply to the areas needed such as acne scars, around my eye area to hydrate it, and dry areas. Only once a week because it might clog your pores.

These products are miscellaneous and only use it when needed:
Face Shop Spot Eraser
B●liv Spots got shots



Now on to my skin.. 
NOTE: I never claimed I have perfect skin. I DON'T. I just want to share with you all how I got my skin to look better than what it was before.

SKIN TYPE: Dry during winter, Combination during summer, and sensitive at times!

Let's start with BEFORE photos so you can see how horrible my skin was before.

I went to a phase where certain products did not work for me and I got these acne. I suffered for months, until I found some products which helped me a lot. (Click bolded letters to find out which products were they.)


As you can see, it was horrible. I was embarrassed, it affected my self esteem.



Then to my skin NOW. Much better. It might not be perfect, but still much better than what it used to be. Please ignore my heavily chapped lips -___- I try to capture a close up look of my skin borrowing my bro in law's DSLR for better picture.





I am happy with how my skin looks now. Of course sometimes, I still get lazy and go sleep with stuff still on my face -___- but I have learned my lesson not to try a product just because the owner of the products are popular or thought they have perfect skin so I must try what they're using. I LEARNED THE HARD WAY!



My chapped lips is so gross. -__- it gets like this during winter & no lip balm can help :( Plus I like to peel it. Yeah gross.


Well, I hope you all enjoyed my picture filled post. :) See you all next time!!

July and August Favorites + More!



Hello Everyone. I know I know, where have I been?? Sorry for being MIA lately at the blogosphere. I wasn't even able to post my July and August Favorites and now its September. Shame on me. I've been really really busy. :( I'll try to be more active on blogger :) You can always catch me on twitter.com/adriyah Add me because my tweets are protected. Don't forget to say Hi :)

On to my Favorites for those two months (July - August). Yes, I combined them :)


1. MAC Fafi Quad 1 - this is my "to go palette". I never go on vacation without bringing this. It's such a great palette to have because you can use these shades during day and smoke it out during night. My favorite eyeshadow in this quad is the "Hey" eyeshadow which I need a back up soon coz as you can see I already hit the pan :)
2. MAC Dame Edna "What A Dame" - during summer, I get one or two shade darker so I resort to this beauty powder to top off any foundation that I use. Sometimes, I just use this alone. Love how it can be used as a highlight as well :)

3. Tokidoki Luminosa Powder - I apply this on my cheeks as a highlight and it gives me that "just right glow" I love it so much, I bought a back up. Hahaha! :)

4. MAC Color 4 Quad - this quad is from the Spring Colour Collection which came out last Spring. I love the shades on this quad because they are "work friendly" colors :) I use "Flip"A lot. It's one of my favorite shade :D
5. MAC Stereo Rose MSF - one of the most "coveted" MSF ever! I'm so happy I got one :) This is actually bought by the hubby. He surprised me with it :) I love the glow it gives me. Just the right hint of blush.
6. MAC Brush Cleanser - yeah I put the MAC Brush Cleanser in a Hello Kitty bottle long time ago to make it look "cute" hahaha. :P Anyway, I love using this to "spot-clean" my brushes. Sometimes I get lazy to deep clean the brushes so I just spray some of this before I use my brushes.

7. Nars Sheer Glow - My shade is "Stromboli" and read my reviews if you want to know why I love using this foundation! :) Great for day time foundation.


8. Benefit Posie Tint - i love lip tints especially in a hot weather like where I live. I hate re-applying lipgloss or lipstick so I just use this and I'm good for the day :) I love the hint of pink it gives my lips and cheeks.

9. Benefit You Rebel Tinted Moisturizer - I use this during my "lazy days" when I'm too lazy to reach for that foundie brush and just want a little bit of SPF on my face. I love the smell of this TM and I love how "dewy" it looks :) I need to review this soon.

10. Make Up Forever Lift Concealer - I use this from time to time for my dark circles, as it contains TENSINE which is an active ingredient with skin firming properties for the eye area. So good if your eyes looks tired like mine.



11. ~H20 + Sea Results Eye Mender Plus - this is my best friend during those times that I work 16 hours and gets little sleep or sometimes no sleep at all. My eyes get so puffy, so I apply this before bedtime and usually does wonders when I wake up :) See my review for yourself.
12. Lucido-L Aqua Hair Curling Lotion - what I got is the old packaging and I believe they changed the packaging now. Anyway, I've been curling my hair for these past few weeks but my hair doesn't hold curls and goes back to being straight so I use this Hair curling lotion and voila! Long lasting curls! :D

13. Bliv by Cellnique "Of with those heads" - I use this from time to time. I used to use this everyday but since my nose looks a little better now, I now use this just twice or thrice a week. I love this product!



Those are my July - August Favorites. I will try to have my September Favorites on time next time :P


HAULS
I've been buying some stuff here and there and just want to share you guys what I  got ;) I got another Rock and Republic blush and this time I got it at Beauty Story. It took them forever to ship it but I'm glad it arrived safely. I got "Kinky" and its a bright pink color! It looks scary in person! Hahaha!

swatch of Rock and Republic "Kinky" blush
I also got another Hello Kitty PJs! You can never have too many HK Jammies! Hahaha! :P


I went to Glendale to go to ~H2O + because I was looking for a cleanser and I saw this. I got interested as the SA there said its great for sensitive skin. I went ahead and purchased it. So far I'm loving it. Makes my skin look bright and smooth :)



Then Diana said Kay is going to help her get some Canmake products. I got so excited because I've been wanting some Melty Nudy lipsticks so I asked Diana if I could  get some as well and the beautiful Kay gifted me with more goodies that I expected :) Thank you so much girls for the help! Love you both!


I can't believe these are drugstore lipsticks! They looks so nice! I wish the drugstore lipsticks here are like this.








beautiful! They look similar in the pictures but the other one is a little bit "pinkier" and the other one is more on the light nude side.






Then I went to Metropark and saw this bag! :D I liked it right away. I looked at the hubby with puppy eyes then he finally let me get it. I know he's thinking I'm just gonna get this WHITE bag dirty as I do with my other bags. LOL. But its true. I get so clumsy at times :( But I really like it!


The inside of the bag. Nice detail

Also, I've been going to different CVS to just hunt some Vichy Antiox Eye Cooling Stick. I have learned this from an article in a beauty magazine. Claiming "look rested even if you're working 15 hours a day" I thought, I gotta have this!!! I work 16 hours and I need to look rested! Finally able to hunt it. It's expensive for such a small stick! -___- it's $28 and so far I've been using it at work. I just apply this under my eye area and I feel the cooling sensation right away. Pretty addicting. LOL






Anyway, that's it for now. I have so much to post! I will probably do a scheduled post once I have the time :) Thanks for reading! Ja mata Ne.

Belated Happy Birthday to the Hubby!!! :) I love you!!

2. L'egere Multi White BB cream - This is like the 2nd month this year that I mentioned this BB cream as my favorite! It's really great and I wish I can use this the whole year but I tend to get dark during the summer.

Note: you can also get this at imomoko.com

3. Submerge Me - My favorite moisturizer as of the moment. It's very light but it moisturizes my dry skin really good. No more dry patches around my mouth and nose and keeps my skin very hydrated. :) Here's my review: http://withadriyah.blogspot.com/2010/03/beauty-review-bliv-by-cellnique.html

4. Drench Me Cleanser - My favorite cleanser as of the moment. I love how this leaves me squeaky clean and fresh! I use this only at night and its also very moisturizing. Love it! Reviews soon!:D

5. MUFE Microperfecting Primer in Blue - I have reviewed this before and I just love how it brightens up my dull skin. It also keeps the BB cream all day in my face without creasing. No oily face either :P

6. O.P.I. Panda-monium Pink - Very cute light purple-pink nail polish, and the name is really cute too! :) I really love O.P.I. nailpolish and wish that  my collection will grow more :D

7. Spots Got Shots - I still get pesky pimple here and there but not like before. I get one or two and that's about it. They disappear like after 2 days, thanks to this treatment. I need a back up :)


8. EOS Balm - so cute right? wuzzyangel calls them nippie balm or something like that because they look like nipples and I agree! haahhah! They're attention grabber. People always ask me what I'm putting in my lips. *lol*. I love how it moisturizes my lips :)



That's it for my March Favorites. I'll try to have my April Favorites early :P

I ordered my 1st Tokidoki item way before the 15% came. But when it came, it was shattered. :( I was really sad. I called the Sephora toll free number right away and they are very nice to tell me that they will replace it and while waiting for the replacement, I can use this and just ship it back to them once I get my items. I can't wait to get mine. :) I'm really excited. I hope its not shattered again :(
