    Just wanted to post a quick update on how I was doing with the Kardashian skin care line… Also, a lot of you have been emailing me asking about it so I wanted to address those questions as well. I am on month 2 of using the line and so far so good! Like any new skin care line, it took my skin a day or two to adjust to the change, but after that it was smooth sailing! My skin is super hydrated, glowing and I notice a few wrinkles have become finer. To read my initial review click here. Now for your questions:

    1. What exactly is their skin care line for? The Kardashian skin care line is just like any other skin care line, it’s made to overall improve the condition of your skin. It’s not just for acne or wrinkles, it targets everything in one! It also is designed for all skin types, dry, oily and normal. I consider myself to have normal/a bit dry skin and this line helped hydrate my skin. You can read what each product does here.

    2. Where can you buy Perfect Skin? Only on their website for now. Click here to view.

    3. Does it work? My skin seems to stay the same no matter what products I use, so it’s honestly hard to tell who to give credit to, The Kardashians or my skin. Sure every now and then I have bad days but overall my skin is clear. This line did help hydrate my skin and I really liked the face toner for after washing. I hateeee how your skin feels dry after washing and the toner instantly hydrated my skin before the face lotion. I think this line would work best for people who have skin in moderate condition and who are just looking for a new daily skin care line to overall improve their skin. Healthier glow, smoother lines, hydration etc… I’m not sure I would buy this if I had serious skin problems, you might need something a bit more medicated if you have bad skin problems. Then again, I have read reviews of people who had bad skin and claim Perfect Skin cleared it up! I can only speak for myself :)

    Overall a great skin care line, I love the smells and consistencies of all the products. I would definitely buy the bigger package of the two though, because the smaller one runs out before 30 days, it did for me at least. Maybe I used it too much :)

    I know, I know, I’m such a sucker for The Kardsahian’s, but this time being a sucker paid off because after testing out their new skin care line, Perfect Skin, I’m obsessed! I first heard about this line through the Kardashian’s Twitter accounts, as well as on their t.v. infomercial, it left me wondering hmm, is this product legit? Or just another product the girls were endorsing to beef up their bank accounts? Well, the verdict is in and so far it’s super legit!

    I think my favorite part of the entire skin care line is the fact that it’s an organized stepped process. Being the typical girly girl I loveeee all beauty processes, they’re so much fun to do before bed ;) You have two options, the 3 piece or 5 piece kit. For $29.95, The 3 piece Kardashian Perfect Skin Care line comes with a facial cleanser, a spray toner, a hydrating face cream and a few reusable big sponges to use with the cleanser. If you want the complete 5 piece kit, you get everything the 3 piece comes with plus a 30 min face mask and a firming under eye cream for $39.90. The entire kit is super easy to follow, and they’re the perfect size for girls on the go like me, very easy to travel with. As far as the actual products go?

    The face wash smells deliciousssss, my comparison? An Orange Dream Machine smoothie from Jamba Juice, yum ;) Tropical orange paradise. I also love it because it totally removes make up unlike some face washes and doesn’t dry my face out. The toning spray is sooo refreshing I want to use it over and over throughout the day. My only criticism? The toner goes much faster than the other products, it could be a bit bigger to last more evenly. Maybe I just use too much? Can’t help it ;) The under eye cream feels a bit tingly when you use it, but in a good way. You can tell it’s eating away at your wrinkles! And the moisturizing face cream is very smooth and hydrates your skin well! I hope to notice results soon. Do I look like Kim yet?

    I just received the package yesterday so I haven’t been able to see the overall results yet but I figured I’d update with pictures after I get the full effects of this line.

    My skin is pretty dry, so I am hoping this line will help hydrate my skin. I also enjoy packing on make up and sunless tanners, so I need a skin care line to keep off the extra debris I subject myself to, and to keep my clogged, tanned pores spic ‘n span ;)

    The Perfect Skin line claims to be designed for all types of skin, dry, oily and combination. I can only vouch for us dry skinned peeps so follow my Perfect Skin journey! For more info or to try yourself visit their site here or stay tuned for a full write up soon!

    Talk about a Summer dream come true, what better product than a light weight powder sunscreen? Of course I always start my day with a good SPF face lotion, but this Peter Thomas Roth Powder Sunscreen comes in handy on hot days when I need a quick SPF touch up and don’t want to re apply more SPF lotion all over my make up. Definitely a Summer must have to carry around in your beach bags! Perfect size and comes with a built in brush which makes applying it easy breezy ;)

    What exactly it is: A transparent SPF 45 mineral powder in a convenient brush applicator.

    What it is formulated to do: Peter Thomas Roth Instant Mineral SPF45 works immediately to block out the sun’s harmful UVA, UVB, and infrared rays to help prevent sunburn, skin damage, freckling, and discoloration. The light, matte powder gives the complexion a smooth, radiant, youthful look.

    What else you need to know: This finely milled, talc-free powder leaves a residue-free layer of sun protection to help skin maintain a soft, healthy look and feel. It is the perfect solution for mess-free touch-ups throughout the day.

    Also, if you’re worried about spending so much on  a new product you’re unsure about, Physician’s Formula also makes a powder with SPF 50 built in for only $14.95.  I haven’t tried it yet, but if anyone tries it let me know how it works!

    Kim Kardashian laying poolside in Miami? How perfect does that sound rightttt now? Usually I prefer Winter over Summer, but I have a feeling this Summer is going to be super fun. Seeing these pics made me realize a lot goes into looking this cute while simply laying out, which then caused me to create a mental list of everything that went into her looking so fab. That then inspired this post ;) After all, who doesn’t want to learn how to look effortlessly cute poolside? Kim looks like she just threw on a bikini and decided to layout, however any glam girl knows that’s definitely not the case.

    So… sure fire ways to be the cutest Beach Bunny this Summer?

    1. Her hair- someone shove some extra weave pieces in my head now, long flowy princess hair, I want it… no I need it! Extensions make everything look better. To me at least ;) Sure they might not be user friendly or like-able by anyone touching your head but so what, they look fab. I personally would go for clip in hair extensions that way you can take them in and out as needed. In San Diego?  Hair Unlimited is an extension store that will match your hair color and make the extensions for you, all for around $100.00. Best $100 you’ve ever spent!

    I received a handful of products from a really cool skin care line called Amino Genesis, and my current favorite is the under eye cream called Counter Clockwise. Looking to get rid of those dark under eye circles, crows feet or wrinkles? Look no further, Counter Clockwise is designed to reduce puffiness, wrinkles and those nasty morning dark circles under the eyes. The cream proved to give the skin around the eyes a brighter, cleaner and clearer appearance for me, it really did firm up my under eye area and worked better than any other cream I have tried. It never burns my eyes and always feels super refreshing and moisturizing. I am obsessed! Less wrinkles, less puff, less problems :)

    It took me about 2 weeks of solid use, twice a day, to begin to notice the good news, but I definitely did see results. I never really thought I had dark circles under my eyes before, but this cream brightened up my under eye area and really firmed me up. World of difference.

    It is available for sale online and isn’t too pricey,  totally worth the $30 bucks! Great gift for any girl or guy, after all, who doesn’t wants less wrinkles? :)

    My friend introduced me to this Olay Microdermabrasion kit and I had to share it with you guys, I loveeee it! If you are looking for a great at home face exfoliate/peel, this one is amazing! It leaves your skin soooo soft, and soooo fresh! I love doing it right before I spray or sunless tan, it leaves you with a nice clean surface.

    The Olay Regenerist System has two steps that work together to give you a combination of a microdermabrasion and mini-peel treatment, but it’s gentle enough to use up to two times a week for continuous results.

    The first step is a fine fine fineeee exfoliating scrub. It is pretty dry, almost like a clay like sand. You scrub your entire face with this and then add in the serum which makes it like an exfoliating body wash for your face. It really gets off all the dead, dry skin!

    Results you will get with the Olay Regenerist System:

    • Gently resurfaces skin’s texture
    • Activates surface cell renewal
    • Conditions skin to leave it feeling soft and smooth
    • Visibly improves skin tone
    • Diminishes the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles

    Visit www.olay.com to order!

    Girls, meet your new best friend… Estee Lauder! Out with MAC foundation, and in with grandma’s favorite Estee Lauder’s Double Wear fountation. I know, I know, you’re skeptical but it’s true! Estee Lauder Double Wear foundation is wayyyy, wayyyy, WAY better than MAC’s foundation. My friend Lindsay told me about this secret switch and after trying it out, I really love it 239,231,454 times better! It wears so much better than MAC, with little to no touch ups needed the entire day. I don’t know about you, but with MAC I had to touch up through out the day and by 4pm always looked like my face was melting off. Not a good look. Anyway, it is about $32 bucks and I got mine at Nordstrom. You can get it at any Estee Lauder counter, or online here.

    I get TAWNY color if that helps anyone :)

    Double Wear offers:

    • 15-hour staying power.
    • Flawless coverage all day.
    • Worry-free, long-wearing makeup that stays fresh and looks natural through heat, humidity, nonstop activity.
    • Won’t change color, smudge or come off on clothes.
    • Feels lightweight and comfortable.
    • Now the flawless look you see in the morning is the look you keep all day.

    Advantages:

    • Goes on smoothly
    • Great range of colors
    • Covers well and gives a flawless finish
    • Does not feel heavy or cakey

    Disadvantages:

    • More pricey than some other foundations, for sure worth the price!

    Overall Opinion:

    • It covers so well, feels great on my skin, goes on smoothly, and matches perfectly even if I am not super tan!
    • It does not make me look orange like MAC’s foundations do, and covers even better.

    Try it out and lemme know what you think!
