Nightly skincare routine ♡

Lately I've been loving Shiseido's skincare products! Specifically the Benefique line.

"The finest Asian botanical ingredients meets
Shiseido's cutting edge science that boosts skin's
inner strength, and revitalizes its outer beauty.
 
Formulated with energizing nutrients.
Benefique delivers ideal solutions directly to skin.
Dryness, roughness and other skin concerns to disappear.
The results are viable, tangible, and they add up, day by day."



This line has ingredients such as tiger lily, ginseng, and angelica root to help the skin maintain its moisture, and give your skin anti aging benefits. My skin is pretty oily, so I like using this line at night. I tried using this in the daytime which wasn't a very good idea. ;~; It just made my skin super oily. But I've noticed that when I use this at night, my skin is really smooth and it clears up. 




Shiseido cleansers are AMAZING. They make your skin squeaky clean, and you barely have to use any product  for a nice lather! If you were to purchase any product from the Benefique line, I would recommend this one highly. This product is about 30 dollars.



This is Shiseido's Benefique lotion, which is toner. After cleaning your face, you put this product on a cotton pad and wipe it on your face! I LOVE toner. It really helps get all of the makeup or dirt off that still may be on your skin after cleansing. I used to not use toner at all, but I have definitely noticed a difference in my skin after using it. 


And finally, this is the Benefique emulsion, which is the moisturizer. There is Emulsion 1 and 2. Emulsion 1 is a little more watery, so I would recommend this to someone with oily skin. I got emulsion 2 because that's what came in the set I bought. So after cleansing and toning the skin, you just use this to moisturize! 


I hope you enjoyed this post!

♡ February Favorites ♡

Sorry this post is a bit late, but I wanted to make a post about the things I loved during the month of February!



This is the argan mask sheet from my work! This mask is super moisturizing, which I liked to use when my skin was dry during the week! We don't sell these in my store, (at least the ones with exo on it hehe) but we gave them away as gifts. My other favorite mask is the snail solution one. 




This palette is SO beautiful. I had to decide between this one and the Naked 3, and decided to go with this! The Too Faced chocolate bar palette is amazing because of the color payoff, and it actually smells like chocolate! You can create so many different pretty looks with this. I definitely recommend checking it out if you are shopping around!



I LOVE this lipstick! It's MAC in the shade "please me". I used to be afraid of wearing pink lipstick since I didn't think I could pull it off, but I love this one! It's a beautiful long lasting matte shade. It's a nice everyday lipstick. 



This is another goodie I bought from work! This has been one of the best mascaras I have tried. It makes my lashes long and dark. I don't recommend doubling this up with a different mascara since it may clump up, but if you use it alone it doesn't clump! This mascara is sort of difficult to remove since it's waterproof, but I don't mind too much!

I bought this at Bath and Body Works, and it smells SO good!!! Strawberry banana smoothies are my favorite, so when I saw this in the store I had to get it! True blue products are amazing, so I definitely want to encourage you guys to go take a look at their other products!

Last but not least, the Too Faced powder! You can either use this before or after makeup, but I prefer to use this afterwards. This powder is really good if you want to prevent your makeup from getting so oily, or if you just want to set your makeup. This also helps to minimize pores! 

I hope you liked this post! What were your favorite things in February?
