I’m a firm believer in using a heavier moisturizer before you sleep because while you’re catching z’s your skin is busy repairing itself. Olay Regenerist Micro-Sculpting Cream Moisturizer has a thick, creamy formula, which really helps lock down moisture. I like to apply to my cheeks and décolletage before bedtime because I’ve got combination skin and require a heavier moisturizer for my dry areas. It contains anti-aging ingredients, which are important at my ripe old age. Just kidding, but prevention is equally important and I’d like to retain the elasticity of my skin while I’m still young! It’s a little pricy for a drugstore moisturizer, but it smells great and leaves my skin feeling refreshed. -

A good facial moisturizer can be hard to find! Simple Light Moisturizer is not only non greasy, but this oil free moisturizer helps protect with SPF 15. Although it does contain a broad spectrum SPF 15 sunscreen, I would always recommend doubling up! The thing I love most about Simple products are that they don’t contain harsh irritants (they’re simple, duh!) but also that they are really great for all skin types. It’s gentle and smells faintly of sunscreen, which I love. Use a pea sized amount in the morning and before bed to absorb the benefits of vitamin E and B5. -

After washing your face you should always apply your eye cream first. Vichy Idéalia Eyes has a flexible tip that makes for zero mess and a hassle-free application. The gel formula has a light pearlescent sheen, with the power to illuminate and blur all at the same time. Dark circles and fine lines are gone at the bat of a lash. Once applied it feels soothing without any oily leftovers. -

The main thing that stresses me out is trying to balance the hydration of my skin with all the acne products I use. I’ve professed my love for Shiseido Ultimate Cleansing Oil time and time again. This oil is applied to dry skin prior to washing your face, without ever compromising moisture. It’s a godsend for removing every last trace of make up, including waterproof sunscreen after a long day at the beach. -

My hair is in a state of despair at the moment, so everyday washing has got to go. Enter Drybar Triple Sec 3-in-1, a volumizer, texturizer, and dry shampoo all in the convenience of one can. If your hair is dry like mine, this is a miracle worker. It adds texture, while simultaneously functioning as a light, clear dry shampoo and giving oomph to flat hair. Bonus points for UV protectors that act as a shield from harmful ultraviolet radiation. -

I received this product free as part of the ChickAdvisor Product Review Club. I was initially not sure what blackberry gingerale would taste like. I was pleasantly surprised by the crisp taste, although i'm not sure it tastes exactly like blackberries. I would describe it as more of a slightly berry beverage, which I'm totally into. It's light, as gingerale should be absolutely refreshing. I used it to make cocktails and they were delicious. -
I’m the kinda gal who likes her make up matte, so it was a no brainer to pick up NYX Matte Finish Setting Spray. I’ll start with the bad; the smell isn’t the greatest. It’s a little chemical-y, but it kept my make up in place all day long... +
I’m the kinda gal who likes her make up matte, so it was a no brainer to pick up NYX Matte Finish Setting Spray. I’ll start with the bad; the smell isn’t the greatest. It’s a little chemical-y, but it kept my make up in place all day long. The great thing is that the scent doesn’t linger so it’s worth a couple seconds of unpleasantness for make up that doesn’t budge. It’s not greasy, and best of all it’s super inexpensive. -

The last step is to apply the Beauty-Full Volume Hair Maximizer, which is used to style your hair and add additional volume, and softness. Now at this point you’re probably thinking I have so much volume in my hair that it’s off the charts and a full-on beehive. I promise, I don’t look crazy. I have a short bob, so I used a small pea-sized amount of the maximizer and applied it to my wet hair before blow-drying. It just adds a little extra oomph, and is the perfect final step. It’s a lightweight cream, but I wouldn’t recommend using a lot of this product or it could weigh your hair down. It helps smooth the hair cuticle and provides a silky polished look. -

The Beauty-Full Volume Shampoo is a giant bottle of goodness. It’s formulated with those same Fleximax Volumizers to nix static, provide volume and get your hair ready for styling. Surprisingly it really did result in zero static, which in the wintertime is worthy of a ten-minute happy dance. It works with the conditioner, and smells clean and fresh too. It lathers up really nicely, and left my hair feeling soft, smooth and bouncy. -
