My Skin Care Routine for Combination Skin using Paula's Choice!

Image
disclosure: This post is in partnership with Pretty in my Pocket & Paulas Choice. However, all opinions are my own. We keep it real here at BentleyBlonde :)  After having our first child in October, I started noticing more breakouts and fine lines than ever before, and decided it was time for a total skincare overhaul. When I was approached by Pretty in My Pocket  and Paula's Choice  to try out their skincare, I jumped at the opportunity! I've used a few of Paula's products in the past and have always been impressed. My skin is the true definition of combination, oily in the t-zone and dry everywhere else. I also struggle with occasional acne breakouts, fine lines, and dark spots. Really the whole sha-bang wouldn't you say?! ;)  I had a brief skincare consultation over the phone, and was recommended the Paula's Choice Resist Anti-Aging Advanced Kit for Wrinkles & Breakouts , appropriate for normal to oily skin types.

My Nighttime Makeup Removal Routine

hi Beauties!  Hope that everyone is enjoying this gorgeous springtime weather! :)  I'd like to start off by apologizing for being so mia the last few weeks, this pregnancy is really kicking my booty!  Considering that sleep has become my middle name since becoming pregnant, I figured there was no better time than now to share a little secret with you all.... I sleep NAKED . That's right beauties, not a single stitch of makeup touches this girl's feather pillow at night!  Recently I was presented with the exciting opportunity to partner with  Swisspers  for their  #SleepNaked  campaign and National Sleep Naked Night Socialthon. Ladies, there are SO many benefits to sleeping "naked" aka. sans makeup. Removing makeup properly at night greatly reduces the risk of acne vulgaris, blackheads, wrinkles, clogged pores, dirty pillowcases and regret. No, seriously. So today I wanted to share something a l...

MyGlam February Bag 2012

Image
HI Glammies! Just wanted to show you what I received in my February MyGlam bag! In all honesty, this was probably my least favorite bag from MyGlam thus far. Its more personal preference related though; as I like to see more cosmetics from my monthly subscription services. MyGlam is a new company however, and so I do realize that they will need time to learn and grow :) For the next couple months, its important to give them the benefit of the doubt. For those of you who do not follow MyGlam on Facebook, please do! They post regularly, answer questions and provide you with insider information on upcoming bags, and changes. This month, MyGlam's website will be undergoing a big renovation with added features and improved billing and customer service options- so Stay Tuned!  http://www.facebook.com/myglam In conclusion, although this wasnt my favorite bag to boot, I still wasnt too disappointed. I think the bag was worth the $10 spent, and I'm excited to dig into these new ...
