Daily skincare regimen

So today I am going to talk about my daily skincare regimen that I follow and that also works with my skin (which is combination skin - so not fun). Some of these products you may also notice from a post I did back in October about skincare; which means they are still my favorite and they work really well.

Now lets begin with my morning regimen. First, I use the St. Ives Green Tea Scrub (my absolute favorite) this scrub is my go to facewash because this scrub is gentle enough to use everyday and will dry you out. Second, I use the Neutrogena Acne Stress Control Toner - which smells like cucumber melon, so good. Then lastly, I use the Clinique gel moisturizer.

As for the nighttime, I use the Bioré Warming Anti-Blackhead Cleaner - which works and feels amazing, because when you rub it onto your face the cleanser begins to warm; the warmth actually opens and cleans your pores of all the dirt. Second, I use the Neutrogena Acne Stress Control Toner.Then lastly, I use the BeautyMint Resurfacing Treatment for any blemishes I have. Also, about once a week I use the Boscia Luminizing Black Mask, which removes dirt and impurities, and leaves a smoother, brighter complexion.

I hope you guys enjoy this post and find it useful. Also, try these products or at least some of them, because they honestly work amazing and leave your skin with a smooth and clean feeling.

comic-con 2012 fashion

Many gorgeous celebrities wore colorful shoes at this year's Comic Con in San Diego. Like at every event, there are always the celebrities that look gorgeous and the best dressed at the event; and then you have those celebrities that you think to yourself "what were they thinking." Well I personally like to forget those who did not look in the mirror before leaving their house; and remember the celebrites that are Comic Cons best dressed.

Nina Dobrev at a Comic Con after party wearing a gold sparkly Farah Khan minidress and colbolt blue peep-toe Brian Atwood pumps. This is my favorite look, she looks absolutely grogeous and the blue pumps with the gold dress is perfect.

Nina Dobrev on the Comic Con carpet wearing an embellished Jenny Packham red minidress and Jimmy Choo peep-toe booties. This dress is gorgeous with the extravagant beading all over the dress.

 Lea Michele wore a textured Stella & Jamie short suit emsemble and red ankle-strap Nicholas Kirkwood platforms. She looks well dressed with the matching blazer and mini skirt and red platforms.

Kate Beckinsale wore black leather Rag & Bone leggings, Rag & Bone tuxedo jacket, Christian Louboutin ankle boots and a Tom Binns statement necklace.

Met Gala's Red Carpet

This past Monday night was the 2012 Met Gala; which is basically the Oscar's for fashion and one of the biggest nights in fashion. This years red carpet was filled with gorgeous dresses that you would die for - and I did. But there was a few that were just completely hideous, and will most likely end up on Fashion Police and be torn apart by Joan Rivers. Anyways, I'm not going to ramble on about the worst dressed, but I am going to show you guys some of the dresses I adored and loved. By the way, these dresses are in no particular order of likeness.
