The Regiment

These are the awesome products I use in my "beauty regiment." I didn't get into the whole makeup thing until college and I'm still trying to figure out some details, but I've made some pretty great strides!

1) Burts Bees Natural Acne Solutions: Purifying Gen Cleanser, Daily Moisturizing Lotion, & Spot Treatment

I love this stuff! It works so well for me, and unlike the chemically laden popular brands it doesn't dry my face out. I use it in the morning and at night and it cleared my face up in a snap, for the most part it's continued to keep my face clear. Not super dry, not shiny, a good balance in the middle. They can be sorta pricey in comparison, but really worth it if you're afraid of all that stuff in the standard brands.

2) Bare Minerals Original Foundation & Mineral Veil in Medium

This I just started using and it is a huge step forward from the drug store makeup I used to use. It doesn't feel heavy or like I'm wearing makeup. I use medium right now, but I think in summer I'll be a medium beige, I try not to tan but running outside makes that difficult. It doesn't look like much in my crappy bathroom lights, but awesome in natural light. I love they have so many shades, it matches perfectly!

3) Dior Addict Ultra LipGloss in Lurex Plum

LOVE! Love love love! I usually don't do dark colors, but the plum actually looks amazing. It's not sticky, super shiny (but not overwhelming), and lasts a long time. It doesn't get stuck in lip lines, it has a great brush applicator. It's really pricey, but well worth it. I wouldn't stock up on the product, again because of it's price. Having the one makes me feel awesome on special occasions or when I'm having a crappy day.



4) Covergirl Wetslicks in Crush

I use covergirl regularly. It's affordable and generally nice products. I use their eye liner and eye shadows as well. It's pretty cheap so consistant use is realistic. The products also travel well and for me that's a big deal. I am not a fan of their foundation because they always seem heavy to me, but for the little details covergirl is great.

5) Miss Dior Cherie

again LOVE! love love love! I adore the smell of this perfume and I only got it because I sold my old laptop and had a bit of extra money. It smells sweet but sultry. The fiance adores it as much as I do. I feel like it's a very young, but not tooooo young sort of perfume. Way cute bottle. I can't get enough of it, and it lasts all day and beyond! I pick up my shirt the next day and I can still smell it! mmmmm LOVE



So those are my general beauty regiment stuff. Maybe I'll do body and shower stuff on another day, but these are definitely my favorites out of the ridiculous amount of products out there. Give them a shot and tell me what you think.
