New series of posts

Something that makes me unbelievably happy at any given moment is makeup shopping. As much as I love going to the cosmetics department at Nordstrom and Macy's, I really love going to the local drugstore, Wal-Mart, Target, CVS, Walgreens. . . . all of them make me smile. The inconvenient part of drugstore shopping is that you can't try on the products to be sure you are going to like them, however. . .they are so modestly priced (for the most part) that once you figure out which lines have the best specific products (foundation, mascara, lipstick, etc) its pretty easy.

Here's what I'm going to do: The next few posts will be titled "The Best Line for. . ."(fill in the blank)
I've spent a good amount of time (and have no problem spending more) searching for who makes the best what. Stay tuned, up first will be foundation!

So fresh and so clean!

One thing that I can finally say I don't need (because I've found the one that works for me) is a body scrub! Exfoliators are my weakness! Ok, so actually ALL beauty products are a weakness! Hahaha! However, I love body scrubs. I have an obsession with getting my skin as soft and smooth as humanly possible (without any "procedures"). So here it is:

Soap & Glory
Sugar Crush Body Scrub

It's found at Target and I LOVE IT! It has macadamia grains, brown sugar, and lime for a margarita smell. It makes my skin feel super smooth, and all the scrubby particles wash away in the shower. It isn't abrasive to the skin the way some scrubs are. Nor does it leave an oily resideue on the skin. I always recommend you use a body lotion after your shower to lock in moisture, but its especially necessary after exfoliating, since you've scrubbed off old skin cells and want the new fresh ones to feel great! Give it a try and let me know how you feel about it!
