Hiii everyone!
Today is mine and Kylas last Get the Look post on Sarah Hyland! I could shed a brief tear. Heheh. But, I saved my best post for last... Check out her makeup.. WHAT A BABE. Why is everyone so obsessed with Kylie Jenner when theres Sarah Hyland? Like she does a brown lip too? I don't get it....  Sarah always wears a pretty smokey eye with a brownish matte lip. She goes from grey smokey eyes to brown and is always very luminous! Her skin always looks amazing and has the most perfect glow. Keep reading on to find out more about this beaut and how to recreate it! AND BEWARE OF THE BROWS! Hahahhaha we filled them in to be thick like hers and they look a bit much but I promise by the end it looks perfect!

So first we did our foundation/contour routine which you can find here and highlighted with Nars Albatross. Then filled in her brows hehe.  Then I took my Lorac Pro 2 Palette and took Cool Grey on a crease brush and focused it in windshield wipers into her crease. Then with a bigger brush blended it all out. Then we took Chrome and patted it onto the lid.

After that, we took, cool gray and focused this on the lower lash line to smoke it out a bit. Make sure to blend this as well! Then took Snow on her inner corners and right on the brow bone to lighten things up a bit! To finish, on her lips we used Wet and Wilds 'Bare it All'. I liked this color, its not turning up as brown as it was on camera. But for more of a brown lip, I would choose 'Gingerly' by Mac.

Get The Look: Sarah Hyland Pt 2




I'm back today again with Kyla with our Sarah Hyland Get the Look series! If you didn't see our first posts, look here! Today, we are recreating her Emmys look ahhhhhh. TO DIE FOR. Sorry to anyone this might offend but I feel like this really put Sarah on the map of the celebs to watch. She looked so effortless, but, so chic. I fell in love instantly. Sooo today I am going to be replicating her bun while Kyla will be doing her outfit! 


First, take all of our hair on the top of your head and put it in a pony. Tease that entire pony.
Nowwwwwwww, I have a little cheat sheet. Take either a sock or one of these bad boys and put your hair into the hole. 
Now starting in the front, bring all the hair forward and then wrap all the hair around the donut/sock.
Secure the ends with a bobby pin under the bun. 
Take your hand with your fingers spread open into the front to loosen up the bun, to make it more messy.
AND thats it. 
Literally.
Im not lying.

Easy peasy lemon squeaky. A chic bun in like two seconds. Thats my favorite kinda bun. Go try this out on yourself! I bet you can do it in two minutes. I dare you! Now go check out Kylas outfit! I am soooooooo obsessed with this! Tell me you don't love this. I feel like it would be perfect for the holidays-- that red skirt? Ughh!

Sarah Hyland: GET THE LOOK Pt. 1


sarah, hyland, outfit, hair, get, the, look,

Guess who's back, back, back, back again, gain, gain. IM BACK TODAY WITH ANOTHER GET THE LOOK SERIES! Hehee. These are my favorite! But, today with another blogger... Two times the fun! Now, me and Kyla over at Ky Marie C are recreating Sarah Hylands amazing style. Kyla is from New England and she has the cuteessst blog all about fashion, beauty & life in general! Lets just say, if you like my blog, you'll LOVE HER-- Go check her out! Sarah Hyland is the cutestttt little thing and her fashion sense is BOMB. I will be doing Sarahs hair/makeup for the next few days while, Kyla will be recreating some of her signature outfits! You don't want to miss this guys...... For the first post, I am going to be recreating Sarahs fishtailllllllllllll. Thank you so much Gabi for the heeeelp!! 

sarah, hyland, outfit, hair, get, the, look,

Can we please talk about how effortless this is? I would rock this anyday, anytime, anyplace. This hairstyle is perfect for loungin' around running some errands OR perfect for a fancier event like Sarah did and the best thing is it takes two seconds.

First, I would start out with second day curled hair (this helps with texture) or you can curl it with a wand then start. 


Sarah has crazy thick hair, so to replicate that start of with a volumizing mousse or give it a little tease.
|| Take all of your hair to one side and separate it like you would a braid but with two sections.
Then take the outermost piece of one section and cross it over, combining it to the other section.
Keep repeating this step all the way down. Going from one section to the other, making sure you keep it very tight!
Once you get to the bottom keeping about 4 inches out secure it with a clear elastic.
Now to the fun part- to make it more messy start pulling the braid strands out a little on each side. 
Also, pull out the pieces around your face and if necessary, recurl them.
I didn't do this step- but-- if you want her exact look, take a piece of the bottom hair thats out of the braid and wrap it around the elastic and tuck it in. This way the elastic won't be noticeable! 
AND VOILA! You're done! A simple easy hairstyle you can do anytime. Easy as that:)

Now go over and check out Kylas post all about Sarahs outfit! Comment on her page telling her I sent ya:)

Casual Thanksgivin' Outfit Ideas!

As you probably saw in my last post I am obsessed with Thanksgiving. I did a more classy outfit the other day which was GO FIGURE monochromatic. But, I thought I would give you a more relaxed just around the fam, colorful (to me) look as well! This was actually a lot harder than it looks.... I think I need black and white rehab. Or someone to inject a rainbow into my veins... Because, literally it takes so much out of me to not pick out a nice black top. #emoemily


casual, thanksgiving, outfit, idea, ootd, topshop, h&m, scarves, boots, cardigans, fall, winter, cozy,


I think this outfit is soooo comfy and perfect for Thanksgiving. I don't know about your family but my family is so relaxed so this is the kind of outfit I would wear. Its cozy but you still look put together and stylish. I LOVE THAT CARDIGAN.. I know its $80 but listen the top is $13 and the pants are on sale for $9.99... I think that makes up for it right? Lets say the pants were $40 and the top was $23 and then the cardigan was only $40.. I bet you would buy it seeeeeeee. It all equals out at the end of the day. AND Top Shop items literally last a leap year. Im really good at selling things maybe I should be a saleswomen;) AND THAT WATCH. I have never heard of Olivia Burton watches but I have been researching for a while now and am obsessed. She makes the cutest daintiest watches ever. Screw a Michael Kors (Sorry guys) This is more my style! Its so timeless. Haha. See what I did there. Even put on a huge scarf either this one or this one and you are set to go.

I hope you guys have been loving my random outfit posts! Have you picked out your outfit yet? Id love to know what you decide on! Let me know in the comments! AND I HOPE YOU HAVE AN AMAZING THANKSGIVING! Everytime you eat some pumpkin pie or mashed potatoes, think of your girl;)

Fall Lazy Day Inspo- All black er thang

Oh November.
Can we just pause for a second to talk about where September and October went? The heck?!
But, I'm so happy to see you. Although, I hate you too. I'm sorry. I can't help it.
Come Winter and colder weather comes Dead Emily. Literally dead. Atleast to the world that is. It started off with just laryngitis, but, now I've been sick in bed not moving for at least 4 days now. So whilst not doing anything but sitting in bed, comes Pinterest and browsing every clothes website that ever existed.

lazyday
sunglasses: here boots: here necklace: here black t: here flannel: here pants: here or here

Please tell me I'm not the only one who loves an all black outfit? I know its not everyones cup of tea but, something about it is just so boss. Like excuse me, Im wearing all black don't mess with me. Since I'm sick and all I wanted to put together an outfit you can just throw on while running errands, or go shopping, or going to lunch with friends. I think this is so effortless but I'm obsessed with leather pants as you know for fall, I have been ADDICTED to oversized flannels, and even more obsessed with over the knee boots. Would you rock this outfit?! 

Let me know in the comments belowwwwww.
I just discovered Polyvore and am in love, so go follow me to see more outfits like this one!

DIY: BLACK SWAN


HIIIIII
for my last Halloween DIY I thought why not do the Black Swan.
Natalie Portman is legit in that movie. Like that and that other movie with Ashton Kutcher came out around the same time and I remember looooooving her in that then seeing Black Swan and thinking, what in the world. Of all worlds. Is going on. Am i the only one? If you haven't watched it go check it out. The makeup in this movie is soooo DOPE and I thought why not put my own twist on it? I think this is such a cute costume to rock with a black ballerina tank and a black tutu. You'd look like a babe. Bet ya!




First thing we did is take the lightest foundation in Loreal True Match and apply it all over the face and down the neck. Then take a white translucent powder and don't tap off the excess and just pat it all over the skin. This is what really gives that white creepy base.

Then, start contouring with a gray shadow. Really accentuate this, the more you contour the creepier you'll look and thats all cooool for Halloween. Skip the blush and for a highlight I actually took Macs Pigment in White. I wet my brush with Fix+ and put it under the eyes, down the bridge of the nose, the cupids bow, the chin, etc etc. 

Now for the eyes--
We took any black shadow and put it all over the lid as a base. Then with eyelash glue pat it on the skin where you want the feathers, wait like ten seconds so it gets tacky, then apply them where you seem fitting. Then we took hairspray and just sprayed where we wanted the feathers to stay. They were going everyyyywhere, their nuts. Finished it off with some black liner, and smudged it all out with a shadow.

To finish off the look, I took a matte red lipstick (Russian Red from Mac) and applied that, then took Night Moth, a dark lipliner and put in the inside to make it look extra creepy.
AND BAM you're done. Go put your tutu on and call it a day hehe!

If you recreate any of these looks for Halloween I would love to see them!
This is unfortunately my last tutorial. Halloween came to fast. But, be safe and don't do anything I wouldn't do ;) AND HAVE FUN!

Talk to you soon xx

Dark Lip and Simple Eye



Hiiiiii everyyyone!
As you may found out in my Fall Fashion blogpost..  I am obsessed with Fall. Not only Fall clothes, but Fall makeup IS BOMB. Everything about a dark cranberry lip I am all up, all over and around. Since I am mildly obsessed-- who am I kidding, I am totally obsessed-- I thought WHY NOT DO A TUTORIAL?!? My favorite quick out the door look lately has literally been a winged winer, bold lip and thats about it. Takes .5 seconds and you literally look like Miss Fashionista. Try it. I bet you will get a million and twenty compliments! ;) Now lets get into this...



HOW TO DO ZISSS:
- For the base (foundation, contour, blush, highlight) check out my previous post!
- I know I get repetitive but ALWAYS PRIME YO LIDS. Unless its literally going to be a waste of time and you're eyeshadow/liner will come off halfway through the day.
- Then you don't want to do anything crazy to the lids since you have that dramatic lip going on, I just swept a light brown shadow into the crease for some definition and such!
- After that, I took a white eyeshadow and put that in the tear duct and right underneath the brow to highlight and make ya look awake.
- Then I did a winged liner. Find out how I do that here! (btw-- would you like a picture or video tutorial on this? let me know in the comments!)
- Now onto the lips! I took Macs lip pencil in Night Moth and lined the lips and brought it half way down the lip so it blends with the lipstick seamlessly and then, apparently finally put some Mascara on..... Hahahhaahahha
- Lastly, I took Macs lipstick Cyber and filled in the rest! Rubbed the lips together and dadadatada! A perfect Autumn Look!






So there it is! The most simple and easy Fall Makeup! 
How cute would this be with a grey cozy cardigan and some boyfriend jeans?!! UGHHH TO DIE FOR. 


Let me know what other Fall Makeup Looks you want to see nextttt!
Keep your lids open for some Halloweeeeeeeeeen Tutorials 0:)

I HAVE AN ADDICTION..... CAN YOU HELP?

I'm scared when I type this it will magically become Winter because thats how NY is but...
I LOVE FALL. Everything about fall.
I was creepin' on Pinterest, again. Ok, every night... And found this.


and just got wayyyyyyyyy to excited for Fall.
I know I cannot be the only one. Fall is where it is at. Its not to cold, not to warm. But puuurfect.
AND-- for an even bigger plus, fall fashion and makeup is the best. Nothing can get any better.
So, while Fall is coming out of nowhere, so hasn't every single online store and Pinterest (f pinterest) begging me to buy cardigans and scarfs and honestly, I'm not holdin back. I am aaalll aaabouuut itttt. I thought I would share my creepy online habits with you since, Im sure you like clothes too right?!?

Ok, I thought so. Lets get on with this, we've got a lot to get through.

So sure, rompers are for Summer and Spring, but I am still obsessed so why not bring it in to Fall? This romper from Forever 21 hits so many soft spots for me. First, its black soooooo duh I like it. Second, how easy is it to throw something over your head? Easy. Lazy. You kno me. This romper would be super cute with black opaque tights with some black knitted over the knee socks and some booties. Say I'm wrong. You won't.

Cardigans, ahhh. My loves. I think the cuttessstttttt style right now is huge chunky cardigans like this one again from Forever 21 (I want every single color in my closet right now) and dainty tanks. This one from ASOS is exactly what I am talking about. Its just so easy and effortless (and you're as snug as a bug in a rug) but, you look fashionable. I love it and I just can't get enough..

I LOVE BOYFRIEND JEANS. Maybe its because, OK I GET IT I DONT HAVE A BOYFRIEND RUB IT IN. But, really, I love those jeans. You might think I am nuts but I love em. With this top from ASOS. Love. And you get two for 30. Thats a bargain.

Another jean I've been loving are jeggings. High waisted jeggings as a matter of fact! These. $15.80. Thats all I have to say. I am in love. I love them. I love everything about them. I would like every single color. I love them. I love them a lot. Also, I think I said this in my last Fall post last year, idc, Ill say it again, leather pants. I am obsessed. These pants would go perfect with anything. Literally everything you can dress them up with a fancy shirt like the pic, or where the shirts from ASOS that i just was talking about. You will look so trendy either way without trying.

Guys, don't laugh at me, because I get it where would I, Emily Augustine, wear this? But, I love it so I had to include it. This is everything. With a black leather jacket and some tights not sure what shoes at this exact moment, but Id figure it out. I love it. I need somewhere to wear it. Would anyone like to give me some fancy plans?

_________________
So after making this post, I think I realized, yet again, I like things I can just put together without thinking that are comfy. That is my style. Effortless comfy couch chic. I hope my favorites helped you for what you're about this Fall! Let me know what you're favorite pieces are in the comments cause you know I need to online shop more and all... Talk to you guys soon!

4 Ways to Style a White Tee!




I love plain white t's.
I have no idea why. But, I wear them with everything.
Cant find somethin to wear that day? No prob! Slide on a white tshirt and your set.
You can dress it up and down for every day use.. I literally probably have about fifteen of them and if you asked me to get them all, I could probably find 2. They are like leggings and socks. They always go missing. WHYYYYYYYYY!!!! Only the sock eating, legging chewing, white t stealer knows. Or the washer machine eats my clothes. Either way, it sucks.

I love t's with high waisted shorts. In the first pic, we tied the white t just at the waist so you can show a little skin and spice up the outfit.

In the 2nd- Slap on a blazer. Blazers make everything classy. White t's and blazers are the death of me. THEY STEAL MY HEART. I love them. We also paired them with a pair of ripped jeans to make it a bit more relaxed but slid on some pointed toe heels! Its like okay you're wearing a business blazer and heels, get away you are to businessey... But put on ripped jeans and a white t, perfect. Hahahaha! Ok, I'm nuts. But, don't mind the tractor. I swear I am not a hick of any kind.

I love maxi skirts. They are like yoga pants but you can actually go other places other than the gym and your couch with them. Either wear your t plain with this or tuck it in. Either way I love..

The last pic, we just did a plain jane look. Because who doesn't love dark jeans and a white t? UH ME! We paired it with mint green Vans and I think the whole style just screamed wear me on your errand day, adventure day, shopping day, Saturday, Sunday, heck anytime.

Next time you have nothing to wear, think of me and put on a t!
Which one is your favorite?
Let me know in the comments!

TREND ALERT! SHOULDER LENGTH HAIR!



Guess what ladies?? You don't have to be hot, luggin' your long tresses around all summer! Shoulder length hair is in-- and so fun. All the celebs are doing it. They are ditching their long hair (or extensions) and going for this short, sassy, texturized cut! I know, I know, I used to be (still am even though I have a pixie) obsessed with never cutting my hair too. You get attached, I promise I get it. But, now is the best time to do it. By cutting your dead ends and starting fresh your giving your hair a new start to be healthy. Another great plus-- this cut goes hand in hand with Spring and Summer. Easy, effortless and just get up and go. Ya know, my fave. The years of the straighteners and curling irons are gone. Natural is in! Am I the only one who thinks the worst thing in the whole world in the heat is blowdrying my hair? UGH! The best way to style this cut is with damp hair, spray some sea salt spray (see how to make some here), scrunch and let air dry or diffuse and you are good to go! No fuss hair which is the best hair-- and damage free! What isn't great about this trend?!? If Kim Kardashian can ditch her extensions believe me, you can too!



First Beyonce did it. If she did something all the girls in the universe mine as well do it because Beyonce is god. She's always rocking the latest trends and I loveeee this blonde lob on her!


Taylor did it! But, in her own classy way! And I LOVE everything about this! Taylor and her long hair are NEVER getting back together! (Lets hope)


Leighton Meester cut her tresses......... NO WAY! This Gossip Girl really looks amaaaaazing. It looks so soft on her which is the best part and love the lighter color! Perfect for Spring!


Jessica Alba instagramed this pic of her new hairs! This is one of my favorite! My favorite part about it is its effortless which is awesome on Jessica. Its very youthful!


Last but definitely not least, my favorite.. Kylie Jenner! She rocked it!! I'm dying. Praise the new Kylie. She definitely stepped out of her sisters shadows with this one. She's now on the map!

Let me know which ones your favorite? Would you make the cut? Comment Below!!

Music Festival Outfit & Hair ♥

Since its FINALLY Spring (although it is snowing here in upstate NY) what says Spring and Summer more than concerts!? Music Festivals are so fun and are the perfect opportunity for crazy makeup and funky hair. For your outfit you better make sure its practical but also, cute! Summer concerts, like Coachella, are always crowded and usually sooo hot. But, I'm not complaining! My senior year I went to one on black top and it was scorching all day like sooooo hot. Then, started hailing. I love mother nature. So like I said its always very smart to be practical with your clothing and hair! 


So with her hair what I did is really embraced her natural waves she had going on. Which anyone can do. I lovvvve just going with the hairs texture. 9/10 if you know how to work with it, it will look soooo much better than a flat iron could do anyway! I parted her hair in the middle then, I put some anti-frizz creme, I used Redkens Real Control Creme Care. Its always good to use a creme vs a spray just so it doesn't get that scrunchy feeling. You want to mimic the hairs natural state as much as possible. After I did that, I diffused it on the cold setting until it was about 75% dry, then let it air dry the rest of the way. Just like that perfect hair! To enhance the waves and let them look more put together I took a curling iron and wrapped the pieces around her face around the barrel away from her face. Put on a headband and you're ready to go! I think this is a perfect festival hair because if its hot, you don't have to mess around with this to make it look good. Just let it be. You don't have to fuss around with it because it aint goin' nowhere! But, you still look stylish and carefree. (Damage free too, because who doesn't love that?!)



For her outfit, most of it was just hand-me-downs from my friends, parents closets! Salvo is where its at right now. You can always find awesome finds there for my on the budget girls.. But, I found some weirdly close pieces online as well. I think this is easy for a festival because if you get hot, the look is lately just tying it around your waist. Its there if you need it!


White Turtle Neck Crop Top: Forever 21- 9.99
Highwaisted Shorts: Etsy- $34.49
Red Flannel: Necessary Clothing- $27.99
Headband: Nordstrom- $25
Combat Boots: Charolette Russe- $40

Now, take a selfie and show me your favorite look for a music festival! Tag me on insta :flowersinemilyshair <3

Get the Look: Kim K Pony!


As you all know, I am obsessed with the Kardashians. 
Love them or hate them you hate to admit they have amaaazeballs hair and makeup.
ALL THE TIME.
How you may ask? Ok, I lied. There is no secret to them having awesome hair at all times except that they pay people millions to come help them every morning. Hey, I would look that great everyday too.
Once I heard Paris Hilton sleeps while getting her makeup done in the morning. 
THE THINGS I WOULD DO TO BE ABLE TO SLEEP WHILE GETTING MY MAKEUP DONE!
That really is the exact definition of Beauty Sleep. Lucky sons of guns. But, as the celebs have people to do this for them, I can help you do it at home! Its so effortless and its perfect for any occasion.



 First, tease a mohawk section of your hair.
Then, hairspray your comb and start brushing the sides of your hair back very slick into a pony. To make sure it gets as slick as possible run your hand over it with pressure after you comb.
OR keep your hand with pressure and use a blowdryer to set it with high heat. 
Put your hair into a high pony & keep a piece out so you can wrap it around the base to hide the ponytail holder.
Then, fluff the pony by pulling the top and bottom. If you would like more volume tease the pony at this point.
Lastly take your hands as shown in the picture and just comb your fingers into the mohawk poof you made and just separate it making it look not so perfect. Take little pieces and hairspray them to make it look more piecey.

Easy, peasy, lemon squeazy.

Let me know how it works for you! Tag me in your instagram posts! @flowersinemilyshair :)

How to get BOMB.COM eyebrows!

I have an obsession. Its kinda a crazy one. Not as crazy as my Pinterest obsession but, pretty bad. I have a tendency to stare at peoples brows............. Not kidding. I want to fill in every single persons brows I meet. Is that awful of me?! Its kinda like when people are addicted to popping peoples pimples. Mine is just not so nasty:) 

Brows are just so important. I don't think many people realize this. It brings the entire face all together. If you have a full face of makeup on and some sparse brows it just looks a bit awkward. Filling in your brows really gives your eyes a lift without any surgery! Also, it is statistically proven that thicker eyebrows make you look younger as well.. WHO KNEW?! Over plucked eyebrows are out ladies--Throw out them tweezers and buy yourself some brow powder! I promise its easy, anyone could do it.


Tools:
Brow Powder/Gel
Eyebrow Shaper
Clear Brow Gel
Brow Scissors
Angled brush/Spooly





First things first start off and comb through your brows. If you have any long, unruly hairs make sure to comb them up and trim them with the scissors. This is always my favorite part. It really helps the shape of your brows. Then, use the eyebrow wax just to make sure all your hairs stay put. Its a great base for the product to stick to as well. 

1) By starting at the arch take the gel side of your kit and start carving out that side with the angled brush. Always go with the direction of your hair and use little hairlike strokes. As you can tell in the first picture I don't touch anything in the front 1/3 of the brow at this point. Really concentrate on just outlining the arch and filing it in very precisely.

2) In the second picture still using the gel I first outlined the rest of the hairs except the front baby ones. Then I went in and really went with the hair growth with a very fine hand. 

3) Then I took the powder and started with the baby hairs near the front of the brow and took my angled brush vertically start flicking the brush up imitating those hairs that normally would be there. You never want it to be to harsh.

4) Lastly, use the spooly end of your brush and brush your brows really making sure theres no hard lines. This is the key point! After that you will have awesome brows and get loads of compliments. I PROMISE!

I hope this helped you! Whats your favorite brow product? Let me know in the comments below... Don't forget to also follow me on Instagram to see previews of my blogs! flowersinemilyshair :)
Cya soon girls ♥

How to fix the most annoying: Static, Frizz & Flyaways!


Hiiilooooo! I went to Twitter, Instagram & Facebook this week and asked what they would like to see on my blog next.. Most people said how to deal with static, frizz and flyaways! I know I have that problem. Nothing ruins the best 'do when you just can't tame the frizz. Staticy hair always happens with winter. The dry air ruins everything. I'm telling you. Frizz can happen the total opposite time-- when its hot and humid. But, some girls always have these problems all year round. Does this happen to you? If so keep on readin' to find out how to beat these annoying hair probs!


Also if you have staticy hair use a vent brush & stay away from balloons hehehe! Skipping washes could help as well.. Washing your hair all the time dries it out which is the corporate to static in the hair. I hope these tips helped! Let me know:) See you tomorrow with another post!

How I Cleared My Acne Quick!



Alright guys so this is a sensitive subject for most girls and that is ACNE! I thought I was blessed with gods gift to the earth skin that never got a break out ever and I bragged all the time about how perfect my skin was... Then it hit me like a box of rocks and I started breaking out all the time. It was literally the weirdest thing ever. I never had acne before so I had no idea what in the world to do. It started around last July and now it is finally coming to an end (except my time of the month pimple) I HOPE! So, I will show you what helped for my skin and I hope it helps you as well! Lesson learned: Don't brag about anything because it will come back and bite you really hard!


The first thing that is the best thing since sliced bread: MY CLARISONIC!
Ok, I know its pricy. But honestly, I wanted it for so long and never could justify paying that much for a little thing to wash my face. I am not kidding you go spend all your money now! It is that important! It is waterproof so I use it in the shower and my Mia 2 has two options. For everyday use, then the more intensive days where you just need a little extra umph. You can use it with any cleanser and I use Boscias' cleansing gel. I love this because I have combo skin. I have a lot of dry patches but I'm acne prone. Its odd. This gel literally never dries me out which I love! The worst feeling is after you wash your face and its soooo tight-- It doesn't happen with this one! It is the bees knees.

After I use my clarisonic, I use my Lushs' Tea Tree Water Toner and spritz that all over my face wait a few minutes and I moisturize with Ultra Repair Cream- Intensive Therapy. Just because this winter has been awful!!!! Once spring comes back I will probably switch to something lightweight. But, this moisturizer is awesome if you have dry skin. Then thats it! Honestly, if you take care of your skin, your skin will thank you. I promise!

When I do get breakouts, this really probably sounds so crazy. But I don't like that whole toothpaste thing. It never worked for me. So I use hydrogen peroxide :x I use a cotton ball and apply it right onto the pimple and the next morning I swear to you, that your pimple will be way smaller. I promise. If you're not into putting that onto your face thats ok, I really like Lushs' Grease Lightening a lot too! I don't think its as effective but it is awesome! Its a gel like consistency and you just apply it to the breakout.. Wake up and its a baby pimple :)

Lastly, the most amazing part second to my clarisonic, is Glam Glows Supermud Clearing Treatment. AHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHkhdaflkjsfhsdfdhkajfdslfjkhlhfa. The best. Hands down I am obsessed. It is pricy again, but like I am saying I would invest in them. I have a lot of blackheads on my nose and chin and this literally pulls them out I am not kidding. If you have a weak stomach exit this blog because this is disgusting!


Those little dots are literally my black heads making their way out. Its gross but its also neat. My skin feels so good after this! I only put it where I need it so, my T zone and any pimples I have at the time.  

I really hope this works for you! Honestly, acne is tough. You just really have to test out different products and find what really works for YOU! I also have some great secrets on how to conceal acne and acne scars as well. Let me know if you would like to see that in the comments!
