Oh hello, Golden Gate Bridge!
HELLO HELLO! I figured I'd try to not let a long time go before I wrote another blog. I'm awful at making time for myself much less anything else that isn't either work or theater. However, you can see in the photo above that when I travel FOR work, I will make some time to take in the sights!
I was fortunate enough this past week to be in San Francisco for work and since my best friend Heather lives just about a half hour outside the city proper, she generally plays tour guide for me when I'm there. (Bonus! work fun AND bff time!)
Anyways, that's not really the point of the post, so let's just get right into the skincare, shall we?
I begin by saying (as always) that I have an extremely dry skin type. In the summer I tend to lean a little more normal but by no means do I have enough oil to be considered combination. So I tend to stay with my creamy formulas, but they tend to be either oil-free or still hyper-hydrating.
In the photo above (my very messy bag o' skincare) you'll not see a cleanser because it's in the bathroom...but it's the Sephora Collection Supreme Cleansing Oil (which is sadly, out of stock right now!) It gets my skin super clean (especially when used in tandem with my Clarisonic Aria!) and I absolutely love using oil cleansers! I'll have to do a specific post on them soon!
Then you'll see the Josie Maran Argan Milk - this is one of those hyper-hydrating products that I absolutely love especially in the summer months. It gives me all the hydration of argan oil, but without the heavy feeling -- I'm actually not a lover for the pure argan oil on my face...I much prefer the texture of Argan Light if I use Josie's...but then again, I'm a total Fresh Seaberry convert (see my post here!)
I mix a few drops of that Seaberry oil (or any oil really...in my bag is a trial version of the Kate Somerville Dilo oil...more on that later once I've made up my mind about it) into the Ole Henriksen Sheer Transformation moisturizer. This is a must-have product for me. I love the lightweight whipped texture, and it has licorice and pea extract for brightening! This container is probably the third full size jar I've gone through in the past three or four years so I'm always trying new things, but eventually I get back to this one.
I also am trying out a trial of the Kate Somerville Age Arrest eye cream. I like the dense texture that immediately sinks into the eye area...and it leaves my skin very velvety feeling which I adore!
There are a few other things you're seeing in the bag and they're more like my ancillary products...not necessary but nice to have every once in a while...Peter Thomas Roth Lashes to Die for serum (LOVE!), Amore Pacific enzyme peel scrub, GlamGlow Supermud trial, Murad Acne Spot Fast Fix, Clinique healing gel, and the Peter Thomas Roth 40% peel.
