Review and My New Bedtime Regimen!

________________________________________

For the past week i tried out this new nightly regimen that requires only two products. A cleanser and a toner! It works for me so well! I have extremely oily skin and there isn't anything that really works for me so i don't have to wake up with an oily forehead and nose. Up until now i would cleanse my face with Cetaphil and it was good for the time i used it but didn't purchase it again. Instead i got Neutrogena Fresh Foaming Cleanser. I love it! I wouldn't exactly call it a foam though lol it feels like its a cream that i massage on my face after i wet it a bit and it removes the oil, dirt and my foundation! I am absolutely fascinating by the idea of this being a cleanser AND a make-up remover lol After i wash my face with it my skin feels fresh and is very soft. After i pat my face dry i use a toner. I really love the Olay refreshing toner. It's good for all skin types and isn't harsh on my face at all. So i've been doing this every night religiously for the past week and i noticed i dont wake up with an oily forehead anymore! My skin feels extremely soft and i feel that even my pores got smaller and i have clear skin. I'm very happy i finally found something that im satisfied with. I always hear great things about Neutrogena and how well it works to minimize pores and really help clear out the skin. It really works! I purchased the cleanser at Walgreens for $7.29. If im not mistaken i think it's on sale this week for about $5.99 so i have to go get some more lol. The toner i've had for a while but haven't really used much of it till recently then appareantly everyone else in the house did too haha! I also got it at Walgreens for only $3.59! It's my favorite toner of all time.

So that's my review and new bedtime regimen that im loving at the moment =)

FOTD - Flirty Gunmetal

I tried experimenting today with the eye shadows i got from Ulta. I love the pigmentation in

them, i just don't like the fact that they're so powdery! I get a lot of fall-out from them so i have to be careful patting it on the lid. Either way the color pay-off is great so im happy with that lol. The pictures of the look came out soo bad because my bathroom light is so stupid and i didnt realize they were yellow till i uploaded them haha! I think the look is pretty clear though =). And please excuse my short eyelashes =/ ..i have to go buy new falsies but haven't had the time ahh! You can add lashes of course to give the look a more dramatic feel to it. =) Enjoy!

COACH - Fall Handbag Trend

For me, summer was all about big hobo bags. I was absolutely obsessed with those because it was easy to carry around and fit just about anything and everything in it lol. Now that fall is here, big hobo bags don't fit my fancy anymore for some reason lol. Im looking for a smaller more sturdy and of season. I was looking through my handbags and i found my Coach one that i got for my birthday last year and fell in love all over again with it... so i figured i will postpone getting a new handbag just yet. Maybe for my birthday ill ask for one =)! ...Until then im hooked on wearing this one which was in season last year but since i didn't really use it im going to use it now. It's a gorgeous Coach Signature Fall Patchwork Carly (2008). I went to the Coach website to see the trend for this year and they're a bit different and i have a few that i set my eyes on. When it comes to handbags im not always looking for specific designer names but Coach has always had my heart no joke. I have a few things from them and i love their way of making they're handbags vary to fit anyones taste when it comes to color, size, texture and even price. I absolutely love it. Here are only a few of the ones that really caught my eye from the new arrivals on their website. Im in love with the warm colors that they came out with. They fit the season so perfectly. The colors are dark yet fun and not too dull. A lot of leather and metallic colors which is definitely the trend right now lol

(L to R) Metallic Ocelot Audrey $398 , Signature Sateen Lurex $268 , Annie - $798

They are so simple yet so gorgeous i love them
I should add just any Coach handbag to my wish list... any would make me happy lol
