My Daily Skincare And Beauty Essentials


This post is sponsored by Nordstrom. As always, all opinions are mine.

Outfit: My pjs (here); Nolan's pajamas (here)

Skincare and beauty routine has become one of my biggest focus. The older I get, I realize how important it is to invest in skin and beauty products as much as shoes, bags, and clothes. Over the years, I have tried different products and I am always eager to find something better that caters to my normal to oily skin. Nordstrom became my one-stop shop for all these products. It is interesting how my knowledge of skincare has evolved. I went from simply washing my face with water and applying moisturizer to now having a skin routine that has tremendously been benefiting to my skin. 

MY DAILY SKINCARE ROUTINE:
  • Makeup removal
  • Wash face: Morning and night. 
  • Toner: I currently use this  Multi-Active Toner. I spray it over my face and neck. It hydrates and refreshes my skin.
  • Facial Treatment: One of my latest addition is SK-II Facial Treatment . I have been using it for a few months now and I have noticeably seen an improvement in my skin texture, brightness, less redness and reduced spots from monthly acnes. I am definitely going to continue using this product.
  • Serum: I apply Caudalie Serum on my face and neck. It keeps my skin moist and radiate. Also helps correct dark spots. It has a sticky feel when you first apply it, but then it goes away.
  • Eye Serum: I apply this Dr. Dennis Gross Eye Serum in the morning and night around the eye area including my eyelids...great at reducing fine lines. 
  • Moisturizer: I always go for SPF moisturizers. I have heard great things about La Mer and Clinique. I am currently trying out a new moisturizer. 
  • Oil: This Kiehls Midnight Recovery Concentrate Oil is AMAZING! I have been using it for years now. I use it only at night and my skin feels restored in the morning. I have a normal to oil skin and it doesn't leave my skin oily. It's worth trying.



SKINCARE: Some of the products that has become a staple in my beauty regime are Dr. Dennis Gross Serum, Kiehls Midnight Recovery Concentrate Oil, and SK-II Facial Treatment. I fell in love with Kiehls after trying out a sample from Nordstrom. Now, I am always one click away from restocking all my favorite skincare and beauty essentials from Nordstrom including my favorite Jo Malone fragrance.

MAKEUP: For those that have been following my blog knows how much I love great makeup. One makeup I cannot leave my house without is my red lipstick. Over the years, it has become my signature. I love wearing Ruby Woo all year round and this Matte Liquid Lipcolor in 'High Drama' is also becoming one of my favorite fall lipsticks. 

FRAGRANCE: I am a big fan of buying different fragrances. I love anything that smells good. Depending on my day, mood and season, I wear different perfumes. I love that I can find larger varieties of perfumes at Nordstrom. One of the perfumes that I can't get enough of is Jo Malone London. My favorite scent from Jo Malone is the Peony & Blush Suede.

Spent my weekend shooting some spring campaigns and looks for the upcoming weeks. We also took Nolan to see the Marvel Universal Superheroes live with his friends, which was a big surprise for him. Now, he hasn't stopped talking about all the superheroes and his has been schooling me on all the characters...never a dull moment! As much a today's look is spring appropriate, the past few days has been so cold here in Maryland. I am still wondering when spring temperature will actually begin. In the meantime, this printed pleated skirt look makes for a great spring transition. The mix navy, yellow and white print of the skirt created the base for  how I style and accessorized the

It is not to early to start  shopping for your spring pieces. One big trend to look out for this spring is pastel suits. Colored suits are great addition to work style for spring. You can style your spring suits as a set or mix and match. This mustard yellow suit will be a  great addition for spring. I paired it with camel and neutral colors so as not to overwhelm the color. A style tip for wearing colored/spring suits without looking over-the-top is to complement the look with neutral or warm colors. These colors will not only tone down the overall look, but also make the main color to stand out. Talking about spring, one of my favorite stores Shopbop is having a spring sale. This is a great time to pick up so awesome pie
