May Favorites: Makeup, Skincare, Hair, Nails & More!

Makeup: All the products I mentioned previously in 'My Everyday Makeup Routine!'

Skincare: I'm always looking for new skincare miracles for some reason. I enjoy buying skincare as much as makeup! I have heard great things about REN, which is sold at Sephora. I saw this affordable kit and knew it would come in handy with all my traveling this month and it most definitely did. I have not used much of the eye gel or glycolatic mask yet only because I'm trying to finish up similar products before opening these. However the serum and night cream has been an amazing go-to night routine! I swear it has reduced redness and evened out my hyperpigmentation and scars. The t-zone cleansing gel is very gentle and is great to use after removing your makeup. I've been using the facial polish in the shower for a gentle exfoliator and it's been great as well! I've been using these products daily for a month and still have plenty left. A little goes a long way with each product, a quality I find with many higher-end skincare products.

REN Six of the Best Kit

Hair care: I gave this conditioning treatment a shot because it was very affordable and I have enjoyed the Aussie leave-in conditioner in the past. It surpassed all expectations and is quite possibly the BEST conditioner I have honestly ever used. I plan to repurchase this over and over again. The Wet Brush I purchased with an Amazon order a couple months ago and never quite got around to doing a haul of (yet all of the products have popped up in previous posts). I hate brushing my hair out with a comb after the shower, it's simply too tangled. I absolutely love this Wet Brush and can tell how gentle the bristles are. It does not tug at my sensitive wet hair nearly as much as my ordinary paddle brush did.

My Everyday Makeup Routine

It's been a while since I've done an everyday makeup routine, so I figured it was time for an update! Typically, I switch up my look on a daily basis according to my mood and where I'm going. However, the past few weeks have been extremely busy and have involved a lot of traveling. Instead of having access to my entire makeup collection (since most of it is packed up from my move), I've been limiting myself to use only what I can fit in my makeup bag. This look would flatter absolutely anyone. Since it is natural, it is very versatile. I wore it on interviews, walking around with a broker in NYC to find an apartment and to dinner (see what I mean...versatile!).

My Everyday Makeup Routine

I've picked up some new products in the past few months that I have come to love and use on a daily basis. This has been my no-fail makeup routine that compliments well with my paler skin for the winter.  This may seem like a lot of steps to some people, but to anyone who knows me, that's just what I always wear. It's not that I am embarrassed in my natural skin, I just enjoy putting on makeup :)

To find out the product list and what I use them for, read after the jump!
