The Smashbox Cosmetics Primer Collection: One for Every Skincare Need
For as long as I can remember, I have always used some sort of base before applying foundation. In my teenage years, I only wore powder foundation, the kind that came in a compact, so prepping my skin with moisturizer was something that seemed to suffice at the time. Once I was introduced to primer in my early twenties, it quickly became an essential product in my makeup routine. In addition to now using targeted serums and moisturizers to prep my skin for the day, primer is the next step that follows. Just as primer ensures better adhesion of paint to the surface, makeup primer acts as a base to ‘smooth out my canvas’ before ‘painting my face’. Not only does primer help to smooth out pores before the application of makeup, it also helps to prolong makeup wear. Imagine my delight a couple of weeks ago when a generous collection of the Smashbox Cosmetics Photo Finish Primers were kindly sent over for review.

Dr. Brandt Oxygen Facial Flash Recovery Mask Review
Skincare has always been important to me. Being the beauty obsessive I am, I am always yearning to try new things. I am always intrigued and curious about the science behind beauty products and the potential benefits my skin can reap from using them.

This is what I would consider dedicated “me time” at the end of the night, ensuring that my skin can optimally look its best in the morning. Recently, I have been using the Dr. Brandt’s Oxygen Facial Recovery Mask once a week for the past month and today I will be reporting my thoughts and overall review.

Kaplan MD Double-Cleansing Kit
Recently, I switched up my night time skincare regimen to include the method of double cleansing, using products from Kaplan MD’s Double Cleansing Kit. What is Double cleansing? It is two step process and a way to thoroughly cleanse the skin. By purifying the surface of the skin, it allows you to unclog pores and get rid of any residue left behind. When skin is properly cleansed and detoxified, it leaves a layer of fresh, young skin cells that is ready to absorb the nutrients from moisturizers and serums that follow. I have been putting the items to the test for the past few weeks now and I have some thoughts and first impressions to share with you today.
