So I don’t have much of a skin care routine thanks to my kiddos. I wish I did but I have to admit most nights I fall asleep with my makeup on because I’m so exhausted. I’m terribly overdue for a facial, like years overdue. Surprisingly, I am not a beauty junkie either. I am such a creature of habit when it comes to makeup and I always wear the same thing – from day to night. If I want my makeup to have a little punch at night I will put on some individual or strip lashes for a little more drama.
All this said, I do like to take advantage of sales on the products I regularly use or that I want to try. Sephora has an amazing sale coming up and starting this Friday they have a Beauty Insider Appreciation Event. It’s FREE to sign up as a BEAUTY INSIDER and you automatically qualify to shop the event.

LAST DAY OF SALE
Sept 3
So if you guys are planning on purchasing anything beauty related, especially on rarely discounted products and brands (ahem, like La Mer), this is the time to get in on this sale.
FUN FACT: Many years ago when I use to act, I landed a job as one of the actresses for an internal Sephora video also know as an “industrial”. An industrial is an internal video for employees where they learn or are trained about a company’s new product, training etc. Well it was for the launch of their Beauty Insider program! Anytime I use my Beauty Insider account now, I automatically go back to those two nights we filmed from like 10pm-3am. We had to film at night when the store was closed. I had to drink so much coffee to stay awake and remember my lines haha. Anyways! Had to share. Back on topic.
WHAT I CURRENTLY USE
I love La Mer. I have used it over a decade and though the price point is not as budget friendly as other leading brands, a little goes a long way and investing in your skin is one of the best things you can do. I’m 38, 39 next month (yikes) and the older I get, the less makeup I want to wear on my skin. My current challenges with my skin are some discoloration and uneven skin tone. My guess is from my pregnancies and lack of sleep. I don’t know, but of course it bothers me. Especially when I want to run out of the house with just mascara, I would love my skin tone to look even. Other than that I have very dry skin as well and La Mer products work well for me because some of them are so emollient and my skin just loves it. When your skin looks good, your makeup looks even better. Everything starts with your skin. These are the La Mer products I use and love: {Crème de la Mer Moisturizing Cream, The Regenerating Serum, The Broad Spectrum SPF 50 UV Protecting Fluid, The Eye Concentrate}
WHAT I WANT TO BUY AND TRY
I have heard soooooo many good things about the Jet Lag Mask – Summer Fridays. It it suppose to help with dryness and uneven texture. This has my name all over it. I think this mask even sold out for some time and is back in stock.
I have also heard good things about the Dr. Dennis Gross Skincare Alpha Beta Universal Daily Peel pads. I’m hoping these pads will help me with my problem areas and my lack of facials and exfoliation.
I mentioned I’m not a beauty junkie but I am a fragrance junkie. I love parfume! I use MorrocanOil shampoo and conditioner and I alternate between them and Sebastian Drench shampoo and conditioner. I also use to use the MorrocanOil Hair Treatment. I don’t even know why I stopped. I probably ran out and forgot to buy it again, mom life. So, I want to try the MoroccanOil Body Soufflé because I have dry skin everywhere and would love to be drenched in their signature scent all over. Last but not least, I have been wanting a new perfume and I love all things with a fresh scent. Jo Malone London, I am coming for you.
I linked everything for you guys below as well. If you guys have any recommendations for me, please do share. Recommendations are a girl’s best friend!
