My Night Time Routine

Hi Beauties,
So I have had quite a few people come to me asking what my nighttime routine so I am going to go over my basic night time routine and then I'll also go over a few extra steps that I do on a night when I feel like I need a little extra pampering! So that being said lets jump right into it!

First thing is first I have to start by putting on some comfy clothes and putting my hair up in a bun! This part is crucial because once I  have changed into my comfy clothes and thrown my hair up on top of my head I'm done for the day! (Who's with me??)

Then I grab out some baby wipes and I remove my eye makeup. This step does not take off all of my eye makeup, but it does remove the majority of it! :)


Then I grab my LUSH face wash in Fresh Farmacy and I wash my face using my Acne Free Cleansing Brush. I love this face wash it is a newer product for me but it quickly became a staple product in both my night time and morning routine! Then I rinse off my face and continue on with the rest of my routine.


I then grab a cotton ball and I squirt a single pump of Aveeno lotion into my hand and I rub the cotton ball into the lotion and remove the remainder of my eye makeup!


I then grab my Neutrogena Clear Pore toner and I apply it all over my face with an exfoliating cotton pad.


The second to last step I take is to apply my Origins GinZing Eye Cream to my under eye area. I am in love with this product and I Think that it might be my all time favorite eye cream!


Lastly I use my Josie Maran Argan oil and i just apply a small amount all over my face to moisturize. :)


NOW.................

For the pampering part of this post. I love doing a face mask but if I am going to do a face mask I need to do something extra to open up my pores that way it will allow my skin to really absorb the product. So before I wash my face I will use the Vivo Per Lei Exfoliating gel on my face before I wash my face with Fresh Farmacy. Then following Fresh Farmacy I use the face mask Mask of Magnaminty from LUSH. This mask helps to revive your skin and give you a little burst of energy!
 


After I finish my skincare part of my night time routine I will go and grab a quick snack and I love to eat something healthy so I will often snack on the Trader Joe's Yogurt in the mango and peach flavors. This is my favorite yogurt of all time!! If you like yogurt go and try this one! (I also recommend trying the vanilla and blueberry yogurt)


The last part of my nighttime routine is to brush my teeth using the Crest Optic White Toothpaste.


I hope that this post helps you guys and let me know if you guys try any of these steps! I love you guys so much and thank you for the tremendous amount of support and love that you guys have shown me... I could not do what I do without you guys and I just love you all so much! Have a beautiful day!

Love and hugs,

A Very LUSHous Haul

Hi Beauties,
I am going to be doing a LUSH haul for you guys today, because I did quite a bit of shopping last week when I went to visit my sister in San Diego! The reason that I bought so much from lush is because I do not have a lush near me, the closest one is about an hour away in a direction that I rarely go, so when I'm with my sister I take advantage of this perk! That being said lets jump on into this haul! (I will post a link to where you can but all of the products that I talk about below)

Walking into LUSH can be very overwhelming, but overwhelming because it is like a candy land for girls! I walk in there and immediately I think I'm home! While I was in the store some of the girls that worked there offered to do a facial on me so that I could try out some of their different products! So needless to say most of the products that she used on me I bought!

The first Item I bought is the face wash soap Fresh Farmacy, this face wash is like nothing I have ever tried before, I started using it about a week ago and I have noticed an insane difference in my skin already! All you do is wet your face and massage the soap into your hands and work it into a lather then you massage that lather into your face and you rinse it off! Super easy I know! The best part is that you don't have to use a toner or moisturizer after you just rinse and pat dry!

The next product I got I will combine two products into one review... I bought two of the fresh face masks, The first Mask I bought was the Cupcake face mask which is amazing and smells delicious and works wonders. The second face mask I bought was the BB Seaweed Face mask this face mask does not smell as good as Cupcake however, it does still smell good! I love the LUSH fresh face masks the only downside is that you can only buy them in store! 
(Cupcake)

(BB Seaweed)
Next I bought the Lip Scrub in the flavor Popcorn... My personal favorite was the Mint Julips but I bought this for my sister and she loved the Popcorn one! This lip scrub is amazing because you use the smallest amount and you just exfoliate your lips and then lick it off!!!! Fun Fact... your lips are the only part of your body that does not self exfoliate! (CRAZY I KNOW!!!)
(Popcorn Lip Scrub)


  My last face product that I bought is the Eau Roma Water, This is a very soft and natural toner and I have only used it in the store because I did not buy it when I was in San Diego because I was kinda undecided, but I did end up ordering it online and I am now awaiting its arrival! 
(Eau Roma Water)
I just have to take a quick second to add in a picture of my dog, because as I am writing this post it is taking ten times longer than normal because this little cutie wants to be on my lap and will not allow me to write! 
(Scarlett)

Last but certainly not least is the From Dusk 'Til Dawn massage bar which is basically lotion in the form of a bar of soap. This product is amazing because it melts to your body temperature and it smells like citrus which is my absolute favorite scent of all time! 
(From Dusk 'Til Dawn)

I am sorry that this post is so long, I just had a lot of ground to cover! If you would like me to go more indepth with any of these products please let me know in the comments below and I will be more than happy to do that for you guys! Have a beautiful day! 
P.S. I also bought Mask of Magnaminty!!! So in love!!!! It leaves my face feeling refreshed and awake and you can buy it online!!! 

Love and hugs,
