Medicine Cabinet

Chalk it up to the bi-polar weather we have been having (or perhaps the steady increase of cocktails due to the rise of holiday parties) but my skin has been taking a beating over the past few weeks.  Anyone else have this problem?

I have added these items to my routine and could not be happier with how they are treating my skin.  I would call them miracle workers but then you may say I am simply dramatic and disregard my praise.  So, I would simply say, if you would like to slow aging just a tad, or perhaps "may" indulge in some holiday festivities of your own, definitely give some of these a try.
EVE LOM 'Rescue' Mask
I have mentioned numerous times my obsession with the EVE LOM Cleanser (daily ritual people....it is amazing) but I have also now added this mask to the list.  I use it on nights prior to going out and it makes your skin baby soft, making makeup application as smooth as can be.
Cleanser + Mask = Perfection.
Dior Addict 'Lip Glow' Color Reviver Balm
This is like lip balm on steriods.  It makes your lips incredibly soft, adds some color to them and can be used on its own or prior to applying lipstick to ensure it goes on smooth.  I use this every morning and keep in my purse for additional applications.
Darphin Predermine Replenishing Anti-Wrinkle Cream
BEST. CREAM. EVER
Makes your skin incredibly soft and I have definitely noticed a difference in my fine lines. I use it at night, every night.
It is my favorite part of my bedtime routine.
OBSESSED.

Garnier Miracle Skin Perfector BB Cream
My Best Friend J introduced this to me over the summer while we were visiting in Chicago and I have been using it ever since.  I wear this Monday through Friday when I want some basic coverage without wearing foundation.  Plus, I am a sunscreen freak these days and love that it has SPF.
Butter London West End Wonderland
Okay, this does nothing for your skin but sparkles and I love it.

Medicine Cabinet

A while back I wrote this post on some of my favorite items in my medicine cabinet.  I still continue to use them all but because I am a woman, I cannot be satisfied with what I currently have.  I must add more.  It is in our genes.  So, here are a few recent additions to my medicine cabinet that I currently have a crush on.

Butter London The Top and Tails Set
I received this set as a hostess gift and absolutely love it.
The combo really does help to keep your nail polish from chipping and I like how strong my nails have gotten since using.
Coincidence?  Perhaps, but I doubt it based on the lack of calcium in my diet.

Garnier Skin Renew Anti-Dark Circle Eye Roller
This is my new favorite under eye concealer.
Not only does it conceal but also helps correct dark circles.
Plus, with it being a roller, it is extremely easy to put on and does not look thick under your eyes.

Bumble and Bumble Hair Powder in Brown
I have really been trying not to wash my hair every day but because of how dark my hair is, 
hair powder only makes it look worse.
This color actually blends really well with my hair instead of making it look like I am going gray..
though according to this post, that is apparently in my future.

Bragg Raw Unfiltered Apple Cider Vinegar
Okay, so it is technically not in my medicine cabinet but my pantry.
That being said, I do drink it for my skin and internal health so it counts.
I fell off the wagon for a bit but have returned to drinking a couple tablespoons in water each day.
There are way TOO many health benefits to list here but just trust me when I say, IT IS GOOD FOR YOU.

Laura Mercier 'Custom Artist Portfolio' Sheer Creme Color in Pink Cheek Veil
I recently picked up this blush for summer and I LOVE it.
You cannot really mess up the application.
Plus, it makes me look healthy since I am shielding my face from the sun ALL summer.

dermalogica AGE Smart Dynamic Skin Recovery SPF 30

And speaking of staying out of the sun, I do not walk outside without this on.
Not in the morning.  Not at night.  Never.
It is extremely light weight and I must say, I like it better than the Dr. Perricone one I have been using FOREVER.  
Sorry Dr, it is that good!
