Eye Makeup Removerneutrogena oil free eye makeup remover
It doesn’t sting your eyes at all and it really gets off all your makeup. It works just as well as the expensive makeup removers, if not better!

Oil Absorbing Sheetsclean and clear oil absorbing sheetsIn the summer time, I love having these on hand in my purse. These are a must have that won’t remove your makeup and get the job done!
Lash Lengthening Mascara
revlon grow luscious mascaraFor about $8 this mascara leaves my lashes thick and full. I also love the brush size that gives me long separated lashes all day long.
Face Wash
CeraVe foaming face wash My dermatologist recommended this face wash and I love it. I’ve been using their hydrating cleanser for years and I have fallen in love with their new foaming face wash. All of you Cetaphil users, it’s time to make the switch to CeraVe which is not only a update product, but has ingredients that do not clog your pores.
Sun Screenneutrogena oil free sunblock lotion spf 45  When I was in Florida, my eyes started burning from my sunscreen. My friend Brittany had me use this sunscreen and it was amazing. I have such sensitive skin and it didn’t sting my eyes, and has no scent or harsh chemicals. 
Have a great day!

I wanted to start this week off with my top ten favorite beauty essentials for Spring. When it comes to skincare and makeup I have a pretty strict routine. I feel that as part of looking good and feeling good, having a consistent skin routine not only makes your skin look 10x better but it increases your self confidence. Here are my top ten beauty products/tools that I use almost everyday that are light weight, oil free, and easy to use.
SPF tinted moisturizer  Revision Skincare Tinted Moisturizer SPF 45My girl Julia at Skin Deep Medical Spa introduced me to this tinted moisturizer and now I have my sister hooked. It flawlessly matches every skin tone while being oil free, light, and non greasy. I use this every single day.
Face towelsYes to Cucumbers Face Cleaner TowelettesMy last beauty post talked about my obsession with Yes to Cucumbers products. These face wipes are great before/after the gym. They take off all my makeup and smell great. I keep these in my gym bag at all times. 
Body Lotion Eucerin Everyday Protection Body LotionThis is a great basic everyday moisturizer. It’s lightly scented and has a non greasy feel. I used this lotion when I came home from Florida and it stopped me from peeling.
Daytime Eye CreamKheils Eye Alert I put this on every single morning right when I wake up. It completely gets rid of under eye circles and puffiness. I can’t go a day without it.
Nighttime Eye CreamClinique All about eyes rich I love the thickness of this eye cream, it’s like butter!
Zit ZapperProactiv Refining MaskThis mask is a life saver! I use it to spot treat breakouts.  It clears up my skin overnight which is the best quick fix I could ask for.
Eye ConcealerTrish McEvoy Correct and BrightenGREAT for covering dark under eye circles. I can’t even begin to tell you how much of a difference this concealer/correcter makes. 
Face PowderLaura Mercier Invisible Universal PowderI got my makeup done at the Laura Mercier counter last month and the makeup artist used this powder on me. Let me just say, I’m obsessed. I have never worn face powder before so I love how light and smooth it feels on my face. It completely covers up every single imperfection while leaving my skin silky and smooth. 
BronzerTrish McEvoy Weekend all over face color My sister and I swear by this bronzer. It is a great natural looking color without making you look like an orange oompa loompa.
Eyelash CurlerShu Uemura My #1 beauty tool. I don’t walk out the door without curling my eyelashes. This is by far the best eye lash curler I have ever used.

Feel free to comment below or email me with any questions. 

Have a great Monday!

 As I am slowing adding fashion and beauty to my blog I wanted to share my favorite hair products that I’m currently obsessed with as well as my hair care tips. I always love trying new hair products (especially if they smell good) as I typically switch up the shampoo & conditioner I use every few months. 
Stay tuned for more of my favorite beauty products and tips. Also, get excited to read more about the hottest fashion trends from Siera Seedman, stylist at SARCA Chicago.

Rock-a-holic dry shampooThis is my dirty secret. I have very thick hair and it takes FOREVER to style. When I don’t have time to wash my hair I use this dry shampoo. It has a clean citrus smell and works wonders. No one will ever know you didn’t wash your hair.
Moroccan Oil My sister and I swear by it. It’s pricey but a little pea size amount is all you need. A bottle of Moroccan oil can last you up to six months. It completely changes the texture of my hair reducing frizz and making my hair shiny and smooth.
 Yes to Cucumbers Shampoo & Conditioner After freelancing at a marketing firm during my funemployment days, I did a competitive analysis project on eco-friendly beauty brands. After doing extensive research, I caved and bought yes to cucumbers shampoo and conditioner. Not only is it affordable at your nearest drug store, it makes my hair smell delicious!
Frederic Fekki Beach Waves SprayBest.stuff.ever. First of all, it smells like coconut and makes me want to have a pina colada on the beach. I spray this all over my hair when its damp and my hair looks sexier than ever.  
P.S. the last guy I dated loved the smell of my hair when I used this spray.
Other Hair Tips:

• Use a fine tooth comb over a brush. Brushes tend to pull out your hair while combs are able to get through every strand and ensure all of the tangles are out. 

• Let your conditioner sit in your hair for a few minutes so your hair can soak it up the nutrients and avoid getting dry.

• Only wash your hair 2-3 days a week. I know this sounds gross but shampoo has a lot of harsh ingredients that will dry out your hair. Use a dry shampoo on the days you don’t wash your hair or only use conditioner. 

Have a beautiful day!
