They have an amazing selection if your in the market and also will make you a sample to take home if you want. Gucci bloom is what I am wearing presently.

Eye Shadow palettes, I use both of these, Charlotte Tilbury and Anastasia Beverly Hills Sultry I apply these with the the Sephora brushes
Mascara for right now is Bare Minerals Lash Domination Volumizing Mascara

My favorite lip stuff:
Lately I have had a few so I decided just to put up a carosel of options for you to see. I love switching between a gloss, to a balm, to a lipstick. Anything works for me usually, it just matters what is closest lol.

Skincare routine transitioning from winter to spring
I have a love affair with skincare. But I also know how important it is for skincare routine transitioning from winter to spring. I love so many different kinds and products but also at certain times of year too. I think that it is important to change up your skincare for the season and when your going into spring from winter its a major change.
In the beginning:
My skincare routine since I can remember has started with the proactiv because I had acne breakouts around that time of the month. I pretty much used it exclusivity till I was introduced to Rodan and Fields. A friend of mine loved it and had a party to introduce the brand to us and I feel in love.
Cleanser:
I tend to use two different cleansers, also a separate scrub. I use the Tula facial cleanser and love the results. When I am having a breakout I use Glamglow Clearing cream to foam cleanser. I am all out of this and waiting for the Sephora sale to stock back up. When I want a really good scrub, I use Derma E microdermabrasion scrub. It smells wonderful and feels so good on my skin.
Toner:
Toner I was using was two different ones actually. One more as a cleanser to clean up any leftover eye makeup and then an actual toner. It is great for getting rid of stubborn eye makeup, Garnier SkinActive Micellar Cleansing Water. I was using the Rodan and Fields Reverse toner and have switched over to the Tula Toner. I love that it is a gel and doesn’t go everywhere when I use it.
Eye Cream:
One that I have been doing forever was eye cream. I have always used an eye cream since I was in college. I had a friend who told me whatever you do, use eye cream, use it now. And I did. I have used many different kinds and have only used the Rodan and Field one consistently and the BELIF.
Both of those have worked really well for me but I switched over to the Tula Multi Spectrum Eye Renewal Serum. I love this for spring and summer. It has a cooling metal tip to apply the product and it feels so good on your skin.
Serum:
I have used the Rodan and Fields Reverse, yes, I like to stick to the same thing, but I have now changed it up to Tula Volume Defense Serum. Getting older, I am concerned about wrinkles and what they are doing to my forehead and around my mouth so the switch to something more concerning to me was important. I also am wanting to try the Tula Acne Clearing and Tone. Hearing all great things about it and I tend to still break out every once in a while on my jaw line.
Moisturizer:
Winter I tend to go with a lot of oil products and heavier moisturizers then I would in the spring. I switched over from using up the end of the Reverse line of Rodan and Fields. Now over to Tula Hydrating day and night cream. Like it says you can do it day and night so it saves me some major needed counter space and money buying two different products. I also started using the Tula Multi-Spectrum Overnight Skin Rescue Treatment. This has been feeling really good at night and I am excited to see the results.
Sunscreen:
I just started using theJan Marini Skin Research Rejuvenate and Protect w/ Antioxidant DFP SPF 33.
Looking forward to seeing the results from this combo of sunscreen and Vitamin C Serum. I am using the two together to get the best results. Soon will update you in two weeks how it is going.
Primer:
I finish off with a primer to set my makeup. Winter I have been using Too Faced primer to spray my face. I have now switched back over to Pur 4 in 1 Correcting primer. I love how it feels when I put my makeup on and leaves a flawless finish. Another favorite of mine is Charlotte Tilbury Wonder Glow primer. It is a light primer that has a touch of sparkle to give a you a fresh dewy finish.
In conclusion:
This is the newest lineup for skincare for spring. I believe that it is important to change up your skincare routine from winter to spring. I am looking forward to putting in some more beauty content soon. I have a great friend that I am going to ask if she would like to do a guest post about her mask routine. She loves masks and her article about them is great and I would love to share.
