<span style="color: orange; font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif; font-size: large;">Summer 2017, I am so excited for you! This season has such an award-winning tendency to put me in a cool and comfortable mood. A time when less is more and nothing says that better than this season's </span><span style="color: orange; font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif; font-size: large;">fresh Summer prints</span><span style="color: orange; font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif; font-size: large;"> that are bursting with color. When else can you put on a maxi dress with a gorgeous giant florals, which can replace the need for heavy accessories, a bangle, cute bag, strappy wedges and casual beach hair and look and feel so fresh and chic? </span><br />

<span style="color: orange; font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif; font-size: large;">I love how easy it is to get ready in the Summer. For me, it's minimal makeup, air-dried hair with a little serum and anti-frizz creme, sunscreen from head to toe, sandals, maxi dresses, bangle bracelets, simple chain necklaces, and a tote bag. </span><br />

<span style="color: orange; font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif; font-size: large;">White framed sunnies from Charlotte Russe, love the orange/green/yellow reflective lenses. </span><br />

<span style="color: orange; font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif; font-size: large;">Orange, lemon and lime print handbag from Ross is so refreshing and pretty! I have been on the lookout for lemon print clothing and a handbag this whole Spring season, so happy I found this one so far. Lemons, especially with a stem and leaves attached remind me of a Tuscan kitchen, farmhouse or farmer's market, all of which are so charming.</span><br />

<span style="color: orange; font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif; font-size: large;">Loving Forever21's beauty accessories lately. On the left, eye gels that are great for puffy or irritated eyes, great for long Summer road trips! Store in cooler or fridge before applying, leave on for 10-15 mintues, et Voila! </span><br />

<span style="color: orange; font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif; font-size: large;">Intoxicating sweet Summer smelling candles are a must! So delighted to find this Dragon Fruit and Guava one in a gorgeous hot pink/red jar (might have to buy them all, haha)! It smells exactly like the amazing H2O Plus Raspberry Guava Body Lotion. My favorite scent for years, pictured below. It is now discontinued, but can still be found in Marshall's, Home Goods, TJ Maxx. Side note, guava is the most prevalent note in both the lotion and candle!</span><br />

Sound familiar? Just a little something I borrowed from The Devil Wears Prada, minus the sarcasm. Who doesn't love florals, especially in the Spring? Even though I live in California, the transition from Winter to Spring could sometimes be a little chilly. These long sleeve blouses in floral prints will be the perfect segue into warmer weather. I have removed the tags on most of them, as they were really scratchy. The sizes are either S or M, this style top tends to run a little bigger.</span><br />

<span style="color: #444444; font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif; font-size: large;">When it comes to facial cleansers, will any product do? In my opinion, no. The appropriate cleanser for your skin type will set the stage for the products to follow post cleansing. While cleansers aren't designed to be traditional exfoliants, they will lightly exfoliate your skin and allow for better product absorption. </span><br />
<span style="color: #444444; font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif; font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="color: #444444; font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif; font-size: large;">My morning routine is cleanser, eye cream, hydrating mist, serum, moisturizer, SPF and makeup. </span><br />
<span style="color: #444444; font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif; font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="color: #444444; font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif; font-size: large;">My evening routine is cleanser, eye cream, hydrating mist, serum, moisturizer, spot treatment if necessary. </span><br />
<span style="color: #444444; font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif; font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="color: #444444; font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif; font-size: large;">What I look for in a cleanser is its ability to remove makeup, dirt, oil, impurities, basically the whole day. I do a double cleanse morning and night, and I don't want to be prompted to remove excess makeup with a toner, facial wipes or any other makeup removing medium. I prefer a gel cleanser as I feel it washes away impurities more effectively and leaves my skin lightly exfoliated, softer, smoother and refreshed after each cleanse. I like for it to smell good, and have active ingredients in it that normalize oil production, treat breakouts and help prevent further ones from occurring. </span><br />
<span style="color: #444444; font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif; font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="color: #444444; font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif; font-size: large;">I absolutely love and recommend the products below to anyone with a skin type like mine which is oily/acne prone. My skin varies in its degree to which it produces oil, breaks out, is normal, more sensitive, etc. according to the season, hormones, and as I age, just like anyone else. So taking those factors into consideration, these products are on rotation in my washroom and I use them accordingly. </span><br />

<span style="color: #444444; font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif; font-size: large;"> Alba Botanica Acne Dote Deep Pore Wash - I adore Alba Botanica products in general and was so happy when they produced this acne fighting line. It does so in a non-irritating fashion, but just gentle enough to combat mild breakouts. The 2% Salicylic Acid (BHA) acne treatment, is an anti-inflammatory agent that breaks up dead skin, oil, dirt, and pollution that clogs pores and causes blackheads and other acne lesions. It removes makeup with just one thorough cleanse, I use about the size of a nickel, apply to wet skin and lather it up in a circular motion for 1 minute, rinse and repeat. I repeat just because I like to, not necessarily need to. The scent is a clean, botanical almost medicinal one, which I just love!!! (Don't use Salicylic Acid if pregnant, nursing, wannabe or have an allergy to it or Aspirin.)</span><br />

<br />
<span style="color: #444444; font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif; font-size: large;">Alba Botanica Pineapple Enzyme cleanser - This is the first product I ever tried from Alba and instantly fell in love! It contains bromelain, which is a digestive enzyme primarily found in pineapples that, you guessed it, dissolves lifeless skin cells. One pump removes makeup effectively, fights breakouts, normalizes oil production, and it has a light tropical scent. You will feel a slight tingle as the bromelain does what it does best. This is actually great for all skin types. </span><br />

<span style="color: #444444; font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif; font-size: large;">Image Skin Care Clear Cell Salicylic Gel Cleanser - I absolutely love this cleanser!!! I first used this back in 2004 after buying it from the Image counter at IECSC in Las Vegas. I bought this cleanser and the Clear Cell Medicated Acne Lotion, and couldn't wait to go back to my hotel room and jump in the shower to use them. I applied about a nickel-sized amount to my hand, lathered it up and applied it to my face, I thought my face was on fire, but I stuck it out. I was so impressed with the way it removed every last trace of makeup and left my skin so smooth. Never did I think a cleanser could do that, and because of this cleanser, I hold every cleanser that I try to that standard. I loved the clinical/spearmint/clean scent. Outside the shower, I then used the Medicated Acne Lotion, OOOMMMGGG, HOT, HOT, HOT, but I stuck it out and fanned my skin, stood in front of the AC for a minute. I figured it was so intense due to my skin never having experienced the products before. And I am was so ecstatic that I did, the following morning I woke up to find my acne about 60% better!!! I have been hooked on this duo since then and now only use them as maintenance, (1-2 X per week and only at night since that is when skin goes into repair mode). The cleanser has 2% Salicylic Acid and the lotion has 5% Benzoyl Peroxide, BPO, in it, tough stuff! I also use the entire Image line on my clients in the treatment room and they love the results!! (Don't use if pregnant, nursing, wannabe, or allergic) pH balanced, no toner needed.</span><br />

<span style="color: #444444; font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif; font-size: large;">Origins Checks and Balances Frothy Face Wash - I believe the year was 2002 when I first used this cleanser. What drew me in initially was the soft scent of spearmint and the frothy texture as I sampled it at the sink under the bright lights in the Origins store. Btw, don't you just love sampling bath products right there in the store? Between all the scrubs, soaps, cleansers, butters and souffles, it's like a mini spa experience! I just love entering the earthy Origins shops, the birchwood cabinets and ginger and peppermint/spearmint that fills the air! With all that said, this is what I would only classify as a fluff cleanser as I personally don't care for the way it cleans or leaves my skin feeling, best I can describe the texture is grippy, ick. However, it's almost like an aromatherapy experience because of the lavender and spearmint in it, and I love the frothy and fluffy consistency. I apply a dime-sized amount and only use this when my skin is normal with no breakout in sight. I just can't part ways with it and I am happy with what it does, however minimal. </span><br />

<span style="color: #444444; font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif; font-size: large;">Image Skin Care Ormedic Balancing Facial Cleanser - A luxurious and gentle gel cleanser for all skin types. I love this cleanser for its soft mango scent, ability to remove makeup, and organic ingredients. Very soothing and calming, I can't say enough great things about it! I do a double cleanse using a nickel-sized amount several times a week or </span><span style="color: #444444; font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif; font-size: large;">on days when my skin is on track and I want to keep it balanced. pH balanced so no need for a toner. </span><br />

There are other formulas that will better suit your skin whether it's lotion, cream or gel cleanser. </span><br />

<span style="color: #666666; font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif; font-size: large;">During one of my periodic twirls around the fragrance counter of my local petite Macys, I remembered a while back sniffing Coco Noir and raising an eyebrow thinking, am I loving this? I sprayed one of the perfume cards and it instantly confirmed my previous impression. That this gorgeous bottle needs to occupy prime real estate on my already crowded vanity!</span></div>

<span style="color: #666666; font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif; font-size: large;">It's gently heavy, sexy and seductive, my favorite characteristics of a more mature fragrance. I haven't explored nearly enough of perfume's darkly aromatic side, though I am eager to. I am always careful of picking a new fragrance, not so much to make sure it's "season appropriate", because I don't think that way, but because I will associate it with the period of time in my life in which I wore it. </span></div>

<span style="color: #666666; font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif; font-size: large;">I still love it, and the classic glass bottle that will no doubt travel from my handbag to my vanity and back again. It will need replacing in no time!</span></div>

<span style="color: #666666; font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif; font-size: large;">If my closet could talk it would exclaim that blush has become the new black! One of the best colors ever created, reflecting an innocent, pure, calming and soothing characteristic all at once. While it does tend to vary in shades, best I can describe blush is a combination of pale pink, lavender, and mauve or pale pink with a hint of peach. They are all blush tones and instantly eye-catching to me!</span></div>

<span style="color: #666666; font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif; font-size: large;">I like to balance the ultra feminine hue with solid blacks and bold red lips. Or I lighten things up with solid whites and blush-toned lips. Pearls, silver, gold and rose gold jewelry are my go-to accessories. Below are some of my favorites!

<span style="background-color: white; color: #666666; font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif; font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="background-color: white; color: #666666; font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif; font-size: large;">But first, an anecdote! I created my first vanity when I was about 8 years old out of my retired baby doll's bed! It was about two feet long, one foot wide, and I stood it up on its side length-wise. I only had about a square foot of room to play with but I artfully arranged a tiny mirror, lip gloss, and other cute little trinkets on it. The bottom held neatly folded mini towels. Oh, I just loved coming into my room and admiring it! I only wish I had a photo. </span><br />
<span style="background-color: white; color: #666666; font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif; font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="background-color: white; color: #666666; font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif; font-size: large;">The vanity or dressing table is such a magical and personal space! It holds the power to make one feel confident, ready to face the world. It's a place where we can luxuriate for hours creating the perfect look or rummage frantically for the basics while running late. </span><br />
<span style="background-color: white; color: #666666; font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif; font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="background-color: white; color: #666666; font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif; font-size: large;">The foundation is a desk, or actual vanity, preferably with ample storage and an over-sized mirror. From there, the possibilities are endless. Decorate with a vase of flowers, scented candle(s), framed photos, love letters, jewelry box or jewelry dishes, beautifully packaged face creams, luxurious body lotions, perfume, makeup brushes standing at attention in decorative cups filled with pearls or beads, acrylic cosmetic towers, etc. I love starting my day with a clean space and seeing the messy aftermath only a few minutes later! ;) My favorite part is that my vanity is ever changing and evolving just like me and my current mood, I design and redesign to my heart's content!</span><br />

That overwhelming stuffy smell that filled the air and the idea that I would be using other people's housewares and wearing previously worn clothing was enough to send me running!!! </span><br />
<span style="color: #666666; font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif; font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="color: #666666; font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif; font-size: large;">That all changed when I was a freshman in high school,</span><span style="color: #666666; font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif; font-size: large;"> I instantly realized that gems were waiting to be discovered and I could find what I couldn't in regular clothing stores. </span><span style="color: #666666; font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif; font-size: large;">I suddenly started to beg my mom to go thrifting, she would just laugh and shake her head in disbelief. :) We had about 4 or 5 favorite stores in our area that we loved to explore meticulously.</span><br />
<span style="color: #666666; font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif; font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="color: #666666; font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif; font-size: large;">At the time my style was predominantly black, for no particular reason other than what I liked was available in black mostly. Being that it was the 90s, I scoured the racks for jackets with Chinese collars, long cardigans, dresses that were very lacy, spaghetti strap, and A-line. Oh wow, I am smiling just thinking back to those days, I would definitely wear that style all over again. I remember cultivating my own unique style with the diverse pieces I was finding, not just trying to be trendy. By the way, love that the 90s are being revisited as of late!</span><br />
<span style="color: #666666; font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif; font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="color: #666666; font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif; font-size: large;">Over the years my love for thrift stores has become greater and I get super excited to visit all my faves once a month or so...I have also taken a liking to other departments aside from clothing, especially the knick knacks and glassware! Also, I do make sure that the items I buy are in good condition or at least fixable. </span><br />
<span style="color: #666666; font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif; font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="color: #666666; font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif; font-size: large;">So here's what I picked up over the last month from several stores combined...</span><br />

<span style="color: #666666; font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif; font-size: large;">Love this oversized black sweater that has silver tinsel-like thread running through it! It was in perfect condition, I washed it inside out on a gentle cycle and let it air dry. Perfect for Fall & Winter with leggings and boots!!! I feel like I could have gotten this from someone's closet in the 80s! :)</span><br />

<span style="color: #666666; font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif; font-size: large;">I love chiffon, sequins, beading and sparkle, and this dressy top has it all! It glistens so much more beautifully in person. I love tops like this on their own or under cardigans, blazers or even my work uniform (Esthetician lab coat). I also washed this inside out on a gentle cycle and let it air dry. It's a true black in person, the color appears a little washed out on camera.</span><br />

<span style="color: #666666; font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif; font-size: large;">I am so in love with this pleated, ruffled, shiny, button-down, glamorous top! Even though it's like 5 times too big for me and I swim in it, I love the bell sleeves that extend beyond my hands, it makes me feel cozy. And the ruffles are so pretty. I kind feel like poet or clown in it, in the best way possible, of course! haha...</span><br />

<span style="color: #666666;"><br /></span>
<span style="color: #999999; font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif; font-size: large;">So much cuteness in one store! On a routine trip to Daiso Japan with my mom I stocked up on some usuals such as the face masks, but I suddenly couldn't resist all the cute pinkness that surrounded me. For the longest time I would bypass these items as I used to categorize them as frivolities, though this time I gave in, and I am so glad I did.</span><br />
<div>
<span style="color: #999999; font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif; font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div>
<span style="color: #999999; font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif; font-size: large;">Most of these items remind me of variations that I had when I was younger. I had a penchant for pretty stationary and for corresponding with my friends and even my mom though we lived in the same house! It was all about beautifying with stickers, cut outs from magazines, scented perfume cards, lipstick kisses, anything to personalize and hopefully make the recipient smile. The more I think about it as I am typing this the more I want to bring back those days, this could very well be the start of it all over again!</span></div>
<div>
<span style="color: #999999; font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif; font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div>
<span style="color: #999999; font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif; font-size: large;">I love the mini dishes and mugs, they are super practical and of course cute. Plus I love the girly, charming colors and polka dots.</span></div>

<div>
<span style="color: #999999; font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif; font-size: large;">I always had a piggy bank when I was a kid and found this one which is a bunny, I believe, but it also reminds me of a kitten. Perfect for collecting loose change that gathers at the bottom of my handbag most often.</span></div>
<div>
<span style="color: #999999; font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif; font-size: large;"><span style="color: #999999;"><br /></span>
<span style="color: #999999;">I am in love with the black thigh highs with white bows. I had a similar pair in high school only the bows were on the sides, not the front. I so missed those! I am so happy that the 90s trends are beginning to resurface because those times were some of my favorite. I always think to recreate past looks, regardless of what's going on on the runways or in fashion magazines, however it is sometimes difficult because those shoes, clothes, accessories aren't as accessible. Time to get creative anyway...</span></span></div>

<span style="color: #999999; font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif; font-size: large;">P.S. I love the new Daiso Japan at the Fremont Hub in Fremont. It's so bright, shiny, inviting, glossy, super friendly customer service, nicely displayed products, awesome lighting and super clean and organized! Can't wait to go back!</span><br />
<span style="color: #999999; font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif; font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="color: #999999; font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif; font-size: large;">Also, no trip to Daiso is complete without a couple of bags of the delicious HI-CHEW candy. My favorite is strawberry and banana!</span><br />

<br />
<span style="color: #666666; font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif; font-size: large;">One way I love to relax is walking around drug stores late at night by myself ever so slowly down all the aisles picking up my favorite essentials and discovering old favorites. </span><br />
<span style="color: #666666; font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif; font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="color: #666666; font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif; font-size: large;">On this particular evening I surprise myself by not over buying things on a whim but sticking strictly to what I actually needed.</span><br />
<span style="color: #666666; font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif; font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="color: #666666; font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif; font-size: large;">I have always loved the way Nivea products smell, I can remember a jar always being in the house as a kid so naturally the smell just stuck with me. This beautiful glass jar, I love the navy color and white lettering. It conjures up visions of the ocean for me for no particular reason, most likely something from years past which I can't access at the moment, but it transports me back to my childhood in Europe, nonetheless. I love the texture and the richness of this creme. My only gripe is that I wish they would change out some of the ingredients such as the mineral oil, petrolatum, microcrystalline wax, lanolin alcohol, to more body-friendly alternatives. While I am sure that that would cure the product of its original charm, from a healthy standpoint I would just feel better about it. I love this creme for hands and feet.</span><br />
<span style="color: #666666; font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif; font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="color: #666666; font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif; font-size: large;">Wet n Wild nail polish in I Red a Good Book, because I need every beautiful red nail polish that there is!</span><br />
<span style="color: #666666; font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif; font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="color: #666666; font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif; font-size: large;">Pantene Pro-V detangler because it smells so good and it's a little bit extra moisture for my hair throughout the day without it feeling weighed down or heavy.</span><br />
<span style="color: #666666; font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif; font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="color: #666666; font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif; font-size: large;">I don't know about anyone else but I could never have enough black racer-back tank tops and black leggings. I buy 2-3 of each every couple of months, they are so versatile, comfortable and the foundation of most of my outfits.</span><br />
<span style="color: #666666; font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif; font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="color: #666666; font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif; font-size: large;">And of course a soft & cute pair of baby pink house slippers because I don't like to walk around barefoot in the house.</span><br />
<span style="color: #666666; font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif; font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="color: #666666; font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif; font-size: large;">What are your favorite things to pick up at the drugstore? :)</span>Spa Mermaidhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/08065385184442649110noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1758752358565395522.post-52539368853076520572016-08-31T19:21:00.001-07:002016-08-31T23:55:27.664-07:00Spring into Fall<span style="color: #666666; font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif; font-size: large;">Cozy over-sized sweaters, refreshing rain, hot chocolate, crunchy colored leaves, crisp air, spicy pumpkin flavored and scented everything, Halloween (Hocus Pocus!!!!), rich seasonal desserts, oh yes, Fall is coming! </span><br />
<span style="color: #666666; font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif; font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="color: #666666; font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif; font-size: large;">My typical fall nail fashion is usually deep reds, burgundys, purples, browns and grays. This year I am feeling something different, where I still foresee some deep hues here and there, my fingertips will mostly be wading through pink cold cream and ballerina tutu-esque shades all the cold season long. In my mind I am already styling grays, pinks, blacks, golds and silvers with dashes of red in my clothing, accessories, and makeup this Fall & Winter season. Classy, sophisticated and streamlined/minimalistic looks seem to enchant me these days. </span><br />
<br />
<span style="color: #666666; font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif; font-size: large;">Pictured below is a display of my nail polish palette for the months to come. I may incorporate some designs such as black strips, a few glittery nails or rhinestones for dimension. </span><br />

The more I use them, the more I love them. I love knowing my skin just bathes in a luxurious serum for a considerable amount of time, and I see and feel immediate results. Throughout the post are photos of masks I am currently loving or about to try for the first time...</span><br />

<div>
<span style="color: #999999; font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif; font-size: large;">Last winter I popped into a Daiso Japan store for the first time and immediately made my way into the small beauty section where I discovered the Beauty Treats sheet masks. Naturally, I bought one in every available type from Collagen, Green Tea, Aloe Vera, Cucumber, and Q10. I really liked the minimal yet effective ingredients such as hyaluronic acid, cucumber extract, chamomile, vitamin E, peptides, arbutin, rose, seaweed extracts, to name a few. </span><br />
<span style="color: #999999; font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif; font-size: large;">Twice a week I would run a luxurious bubble bath and after cleansing and exfoliating my face, applied a mask of my choice, allow my skin to drink up the rich serum (15-20 mins), remove the mask, then press the remaining fluid into my skin. Loved how my skin simply glowed and looked revitalized! (I applied the remaining serum in the packet to my neck, decollete, arms and legs post bath!)</span><br />

<div>
<span style="color: #999999; font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif; font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div>
<span style="color: #999999; font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif; font-size: large;">Soon after I started seeking out Japanese and Korean skin care shops or grocery stores in my area to broaden my sheet mask horizon! So far Beauty Treats, My Beauty Diary, Leaders Insolution, and My Scheming work amazingly well for my skin, and I can't wait to cast an even wider net!</span></div>

<div>
<span style="color: #999999; font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif; font-size: large;">Masks are wonderful treatments for the skin to help any condition you may be experiencing. From dryness, dehydration, excessive oil, acne, hyperpigmentation, laxity and scarring, there's a mask remedy. Since one mask alone is not created to satisfy all conditions at once, having a variety of masks on hand is a good idea. Begin by looking at your skin and identifying what you would like to address to help you select the best type of mask(s) for you. </span></div>

<div>
<span style="color: #999999; font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif; font-size: large;">Whether the sheet mask material is of cellulose, hydrogel, or fabric, I love sheet masks for the sheer convenience of the portable and disposable packaging. Perfect for travel on planes where the air is poor, on road trips when skin can start to look and feel dull, with your friends, while doing your nails and toes at home, in a bubble bath, movie night in, or whenever you want to relax and do nothing at all. </span></div>

<div>
<span style="color: #999999; font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif; font-size: large;">Some random details...</span></div>
<div>
<span style="color: #999999; font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif; font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div>
<span style="color: #999999; font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif; font-size: large;">I will spare you the scary image of me wearing one, but I will say that when you apply the mask, make sure it lays flat and smoothed out against your skin. :) </span></div>
<div>
<span style="color: #999999; font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif; font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div>
<span style="color: #999999; font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif; font-size: large;">It's best to cleanse and exfoliate prior to treating your skin with any mask, as the ingredients will absorb that much better without lifeless skin cells impeding the nutrients. </span><br />
<span style="color: #999999; font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif; font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="color: #999999; font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif; font-size: large;">I will still apply an eye cream and moisturizer on top of the absorbing serum if I do the mask at night before bed. If I happen to do a sheet mask treatment during the day I will apply an eye cream, moisturizer and SPF. </span><br />
<span style="color: #999999; font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif; font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="color: #999999; font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif; font-size: large;">Some evenings I will even sleep with the mask sheet on my face. It's not necessary but I love the feeling. </span></div>
<div>
<span style="color: #999999; font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif; font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div>
<span style="color: #999999; font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif; font-size: large;">You may or may not have heard of the 'one mask a day' saying, but I would caution against that as you may be infusing your skin with too much nutrition and possibly cause breakouts. I would say allow one to two days in between for your skin to properly metabolize what it has been treated with. (Think small bites when you are eating to prevent choking, kind of thing.) </span></div>
<div>
<span style="color: #999999; font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif; font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div>
<span style="color: #999999; font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif; font-size: large;">Price points vary per brand. I have seen them ranging from $1.50 to $6 per individual mask or boxes (4-15 ct.) from $10-$80.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;"><span style="color: #999999; font-size: large;"><br /></span></span>
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;"><span style="color: #999999; font-size: large;"><span style="color: #999999; font-family: georgia, times new roman, serif;">Now let's go ahead a judge a book by its cover, shall we?! Not only are these masks super effective, but the packaging is </span><span style="background-color: white; line-height: 18.2px;"><span style="color: #999999; font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">très jolie</span></span><span style="font-family: georgia, times new roman, serif;"><span style="background-color: white;"><span style="color: #d9d2e9;"> </span></span><span style="color: #999999;">too! Much like how the content of each mask varies from one to the next, so do the exteriors. From glossy to matte, colorful and child-like to clinical and sophisticated, the exterior design, look and feel doesn't reflect the efficacy or potency of the mask inside! </span></span></span></span><br />
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;"><span style="color: #999999; font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="color: #999999; font-size: large;">I am anxious to explore other brands' masks and venture out into the eye, lip, neck, decollete, etc. masks as well! </span></span><br />

<span style="color: #999999; font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif; font-size: large;">Loving the holographic design for Summer! The color combination reminds me of the 80s, Jem and the Holograms, shiny metal, the ocean, mermaids, shiny glass, fire & ice, city lights at night, Las Vegas, you know, fun things like that!</span></div>

<span style="color: #999999; font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif; font-size: large;">I love the colorful glow so much, I decided I wanted to see glimpses of it often. Forever 21 has had a variety of holographic cosmetic bags lately, so I selected the one below. It fits all of my beauty products nicely and I just get so excited to pull it out of my handbag and rummage through it, the interior is black. </span></div>

<span style="color: #999999; font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif; font-size: large;">This clutch has the most beautiful and radiant glow, it would wake up any outfit.

Gotta Glow Lip Tint <span style="color: #666666; font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif; font-size: large;">Who doesn't love a pretty baby pink lip tint encased in sleek silver packaging? Yeah, I couldn't think of anyone either...</span><br />
<span style="color: #666666; font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif; font-size: medium;"><span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif; font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;"><span style="font-size: large;">When I first saw this, I gasped and wanted to sink my teeth into it because of the shiny luscious shade of bubble gum pink. When I first bought this I was hoping for this exact color payoff on lips, but was fearing the result actually being more like the tacky mood lipsticks from the 80s/90s, which it turned out to be. So in short, the swatch color is what appears on my lips, if this is the look you are going for, look no further. </span></span></span><br />
<span style="color: #666666; font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif; font-size: large;"><span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;">Not particularly shiny, but gives a smooth texture, smell is almost non-existent, wears off within 10-15 minutes, wish it was more hydrating, my lips feel thirsty, so happy I didn't get the Dior one...these are the random thoughts I have had while trying to give this a fair chance. Do you need it? Probably not. Ooooooooooh, but the packaging is so cute!! Oh alright, if you haven't added this to your beauty arsenal, you might as well, maybe. </span></span><br />
