Beauty Products I Love-Night Edition

**If you missed my Beauty Products I Love-Day Edition post, you can click here to read it!**

So I'm back with my night time products!  This post will be a bit shorter because instead of 8 potions and lotions, there are 4---half of my day time routine!  ;)

It goes with out saying that I floss and brush my teeth before bed every. single. night.  There's no point in using products to beautify myself if my teeth end up rotting out!  That would just be gross.  Eww...

It all starts with a facial cleanser and once again I use an Aveeno Freah Essentials product:

This is a pore purifying facial wash that removes make up, cleanses and leaves my skin feeling soft, not all tight and shiny.  I've also been known to use Neutrogena Fresh Foaming Cleanser.

This is a thicker cleanser that (in my opinion) is better to use during the winter months.  It also does a really good job at cleansing and leaving skin soft.  After cleansing comes my night time moisturizer, wrinkle reducer. ;)

Nivea Visage Anti Wrinkle Q10 Plus Night Care is AWESOME!  This is a luxurious cream that doesn't leave my skin feeling greasy or sticky.  A little goes a long way which is great for my wallet!  As well as this, I also use an eye cream:

Say Yes To Carrots moisturizing eye cream is super light and unscented.  Just a dab on each eye is all you need.  And the very last thing I do before i turn out the lamp is slather my lips with chap stick, Burt's Bees, of course!

Props to Burt's Bees in general.  I love all their stuff!!  HAHA!

And so concludes my favourite beauty products, part 1 & 2!  I hope you've enjoyed reading about my routine and what I prefer to use!

Bye for now!!

**Just a reminder that none of these companies have contacted me.  These thoughts and opinions are solely mine...**

Beauty Products I'm Loving-Morning Edition

As I was standing in the shower this morning, it dawned on me that I'm really enjoying the beauty products I've been using for the past few months. Then I thought that I should share these gems (gems to me, anyways!!) in a blog post!  Today I'll do a "morning edition"...so products I use every morning.  I'll follow up with a "night edition"...products I use before bed.  Just so you are aware, none of these companies have approached me for product reviews.  This is purely my thoughts and opinions on them!  ;)

Let's get started!  The first thing I do in the shower is wash my hair because I like to let the shampoo sit while I do my face, shave, exfoliate, etc..  This is done every other day or my hair gets too "poofy".  I also alternate between 2 awesome shampoo's!

 Moroccan Oil Clarifying Shampoo

Garnier Fructis Fall Fight

The Moroccan Oil shampoo is super moisturizing and really helps with a my frizz.  However, it does not come cheap and I have to purchase it through a specialty store which is why I alternate it with the Garnier Fructis Fall Fight.  This drug store find is MUCH easier on the wallet, smells wonderful and has truly helped with the amount of hair I lose after each shower.  I noticed a difference within a week of using it.

Next up is my face.  I've always used an exfoliator in the morning and my hands down favourite is Aveeno Fresh Essentials Daily Scrub:

This product is creamy and super gentle.  It is in no way coarse or grainy.  The consistency is more that of a very fine sand.

On to my body.  Once or twice a week, especially in the winter, I like to use a body scrub; mainly on my arms and legs.  My top choice here is The Body Shop's Coconut Body Scrub...

I'm not gonna lie....a BIG plus for me where this product is concerned is that it's coconut and I LOVE me some coconut!!  Plus it makes my skin really soft!  After I exfoliate, I use another coconut scented product; Bath & Body Works Coconut Lime Breeze.

Such a fresh aroma first thing in the morning.  Really gets the senses going!  And it produces really thick, soft suds.  :)

Once I'm out of the shower and done brushing my teeth, I cream up my face with another Aveeno Fresh Essentials, product; Nourishing Moisturizer SPF 30:

I've actually been using this one for a few years.  It's like, airy and has a nice fresh scent.  Bonus that it's 30 SPF to keep my face from getting too much sun!  Next up is moisturizing my body.  Here comes another product with coconut!

Body Butter!  I use this in the winter only because it's pretty thick and rich....too much so for the hot summer months.  But it's perfect for these dry winter days.  This brand of body butter leaves my skin super soft all day long.  And the final step, just before I apply my make up, is to use Garnier Skin Renew.

I was a tad skeptical of this at first because I don't normally like liquid make up, but it sure makes my eyes bright and my complexion even.  And a little goes a long way so I don't feel badly about splurging a little.  ;)

So there we have it.  My top 8 morning beauty products.  I would LOVE to hear your top 2 morning beauty products....let's spread the product love, girls!!  ;)
