Shiseido + Cotton Pads = Blogworthy

I know, I know. I'm blogging about glorified cotton pads. COTTON PADS for crying out loud!! But wait...you have not tried the cotton pads in question. And yours truly is in sheer disbelief and shock that she has not stumbled across these little miracles sooner.

I can't tell you how many cotton pads I've tried - I always look for and try the "premium" types that promise not to disintegrate on your face....and what happens? They promptly leave little cotton streaks on my face.

But no longer will this sort of thing happen to me, oh no. For a mere $9.50 (I know it's cotton but TRUST ME), you get the softest, most durable little cotton warriors you can find. Since I've been tissue-ing my facial cleanser off, these little darlings help remove every trace of dirt/makeup while keeping my skin so amazingly soft. There is enough to last you a good while in the package, and trust me my little dears, you will not be going back to Target for your cotton pads.

Current Skincare Obsession Alert

If you've been following my blog (and I know you hang on my every last word), you know that I've been on this ridiculous quest to find the most effective skin care - not to mention figure out what the heck is going on with my skin in the first place.

Apparently, I have been continuing to treat my skin for issues that don't really concern me. With a little help, I was directed to skin care that would address skin texture and even out my skin tone - previously, I assumed that the little bumps on my cheeks were due to acne and that the rough texture on my forehead was just dry skin. And this is why I'm no dermatologist. :)

Through all of this, I was led to Caudalie - and thank goodness. I can't tell you how much I absolutely adore this line. It is pricey, yes, but a little goes a looooooong way with this stuff. I am currently using the Gentle Cleanser (which I have been removing with cotton pads instead of rinsing with water - leaves my skin so unbelievably soft), Vinoperfect Radiance Serum (which helps even skin tone and lighten hyper-pigmentation), and Vinosource Anti-Wrinkle Nourishing Cream (for normal-dry, anti-aging).

The products contain grapevine polyphenols (super duper antioxidants) - and many other skin-nourishing goodies. Did I mention they all smell amazing as well?? And maybe even more importantly - I may have been told multiple times over the past weekend that my skin was "glowy." Tiffany:1, skin issues:0.

Say Hello to my Little Friend.

Yes, I know that this is nothing new...the Clarisonic skin brush has been around for a good while now. BUT, it is brand new to yours truly...after literal years of coveting this gadget, I finally treated myself last week. Boy am I glad I did.

Immediately after my initial use, I noticed how ridiculously soft my skin felt and how evenly toned it appeared. A few short days later, my skin is officially transformed. While some may experience blemishes at first (this is so deep-cleaning, much like getting a facial, that it will bring those deep blemishes to the surface), it will clear up very quickly and reveal the amazing skin you know you have.

I'm going to share with you the skin care line I'm currently obsessing over in my next post, but believe me, this is a MUST HAVE addition to your skin care regimen. I don't take expensive purchases lightly - but you won't ever be sad about this splurge, I guarantee it.

Check it out here.

Have a Clarisonic already? What's your take?

More Happy in Your Life

This brand-spanking new kit from Bare Escentuals contains all-over face color and 3 eye-shadows infused with a natural plant extract that mimics the effect of endorphins, thus creating happy feelings for you!

I love the colors in the kit, not to mention the cute case that comes with the set! This kit also contains BE's new Flawless Definition mascara - which is amazing. Let me clarify: if you want totally natural, yet defined lashes (that remain soft even after you apply the mascara), buy this product.

Check it out here!

Boots You'll Live In

I found these boots by Naughty Monkey and promptly fell in love. I love the buckle detailing - and they just look so stinking comfy! These would work so well with just about anything: casual dress + leggings/tights + boots = super cute; tee + scarf + skinny dark jeans + boots = super cute; long tee + wide belt + leggings + boots = SUPER CUTE!!!! Are we clear?

Oh - and did I mention that they're $99??? Yeah. That's right.

Shea you, Shea me

O......M.....G. Do yourself a favor and go buy this immediately. The Shea Cashmere line at Bath and Body Works is little known about - but for those who do know, there's no going back. Not only does this stuff feel amazing on your skin, the scent is to die for. The description says "soft vanilla," but I'd describe it more as a sophisticated deep caramel-vanilla twist. Regardless - it's perfect for the fall and impending cooler weather...it's like wrapping yourself in the coziest, softest cashmere wrap.

Get yours here.

PS - this is also available as hand or foot cream.
