My daily skin care routine

Hello glam dolls!

So .. a lot of you asked me the same question this week soooo here it is: My skincare routine.

Although this is my personal skin care routine, this might not work the same for everyone. I have combination skin but I am more to the dry side. The thing that I do have is that my skin is very sensitive meaning that anything with citrus or harsh chemicals will dry out my skin really bad.
How do you know if you have that? Besides the burning sensation.. your skin will also appear flaky when you apply your makeup.
Soo, these are ALL the products I use every night. They are pretty pricey because of their brand, but they work the best for me. They remove ALL of my makeup and leave my skin squeaky clean without drying out my skin. If you consider to purchase any of these.. keep in mind that you have 30 days to return it if you don't like it or it doesn't work for you which is good. I have tried A LOT of face cleansers, scrubs, masks, etc. and these so far are my favorite. I will list them in the order I use them so hope this helps. XO.


nightly routine : 



1) Mac Wipes - these work the best for me so far because they dont over dry or give me a burning sensation. (picture shown above)



2) Mac cleanse off oil - This will remove your makeup easily and will make it easier for the cleanser to do its job. If you have oily skin, they have the same one in oil free ( I have not tried that one but it should do the same thing) 



3)Mac green gel cleanser - by far my favorite product in my skin care routine. This stuff is amazing.                                 

after this, I just pat my face dry with a towel and then add a moisturizer  If I am wearing a lot of eye makeup that is not easily removed.... and I don't feel like taking that sting in my eyes because I am too lazy to use eye makeup remover, I use this :

*Mac pro eye makeup remover- I love this stuff, it does what it's supposed to. I used the other makeup remover that mac has but it was a little too oily for my taste.


So after I wash my face I moisturize! (if you have oily skin, you can just leave your skin squeaky clean) I usually use a different moisturizer the week (just one per night) and they keep my skin happy. The ones I like to use are: 

1) Anastasia Hydrating oil : 

I absolutely love this stuff. It does not leave or make your face oily, it hydrates.
 GOOD STUFF. It's a pretty small bottle but it lasts for a good while.

2) Mac mineralize charged water moisture gel
This stuff is really good. I use this frequently and absolutely love it.


I know this stuff is pretty pricey, but hey your face deserves the best (if it is in your reach)
There are a lot of good drugstore brands like my favorite (neutrogena and cetaphile) which are items I cannot live without! I will make a post with my favorite drugstore skin care for all my glam dolls on a budget! Mix and match drugstore with department store skin care <3 
It will give you the same results with the right products. 


In the morning, i usually just rinse with warm water and sometimes I just use a little bit of the green gel cleanser only. Pat dry and then MOISTURIZE! after, I apply my tinted moisturizer/foundation. 

So there you go dolls, a detailed, long, skin care routine just for you!

Whats in my box: MAC cosmetics

Hey Dolls,

 I decided to try out MAC's new Mineralize Rich Lipstick Collection and mineralized foundation. The foundation was nice due to the fact that I have sensitive/combination skin which was good because anything that is not moisturizing can really dry out my skin. I liked it and will keep playing with it this week. As far as for the lipstick... 
I am a lipstick freak and when I heard these lipsticks were going to be bigger I was psyched. When I received them I was so excited but once I started to go through them I wasn't very impressed. They feel very moisturizing when you apply it but I felt it dried up my lips once it wore off. The colors are not that unique and could be easily be swapped for others. I will be keeping divine choice, lady at play, and dreaminess . . SO overall, these babies are getting returned . .  wasn't very impressed. Hope this was helpful.
