I went shopping! Walgreens

Hello again,
Today I stopped by Walgreens to pick up some necessities. I browsed around and much to my surprise, didn't find a single makeup item I wanted. That doesn't happen very often. I did however, spot some of the old Sally Hansen Pacific Blue polishes but I didn't get them. Anyway, let's talk about what I got.

 
I've checked these soaps out a few times in the past but never purchased them. Today they were on sale- Buy 2 get 1 free. So I decided to pick a few up. I picked the ones that seemed the most moisturizing. These bars are fairly large (8oz.) and priced at $5.49 a piece. I don't know what it is about using "fancy" soaps but it's a craze in my house lately. I'll let you know what we think of these. 


This was one of the items on my list. Well not this product specifically, but I'm almost out of my day time moisturizer. I picked this up because it is oil free and has SPF 15 in it. I tried some on my hand and it rubbed in quickly but it does have that nasty SPF smell! I have a feeling I will be taking this back. I can't stand smelling that smell all day. And in the past lotions with that scent don't perform well with makeup over top. I'll let you know how it goes. 


I've scrubbed all I can scrub out of my last pumice stone. And since I'm changing the polish on my toes fairly often a new pumice stone is a must! 
 

All the Garnier products we're on sale- Buy 1 get 1 50% off. I don't know if it's my age or the weather but I've been battling dryness lately. I picked these two up because I figured I cause the cream cleanser for dry days and the combination one when my skin is its normal self. I've never tried these so I'm looking forward to using them. 


Here's the back of the bottles for those of you that are interested. Am I the only nerd who reads the entire bottle of any new products I get? 

Let me know if you've tried any of these products. 

Until next time...
Xoxo,
Adela

Get Ready With Me: Sick, but you'd never know it!

Welcome back! We've all had days when we're feeling under the weather and would rather stay in bed all day. Unfortunately, life doesn't always allow us to do so. I had one of these days this past weekend... it was Jr. Prom night for my nephew which means, photos with Auntie (he loved it, trust me)  Here are my tips and tricks on how to look your best when you're feeling your worst.  Let's get started... First things first, start with a clean face. Then, moisturize and prime your skin. I used a heavier moisturizer under primer because my skin tends to get very dry when I'm not feeling well.  An oldie but goodie is Rimmel Fix & Perfect Pro Primer. This is about $5 at Target or drugstores. Concealing is always important. Especially when you're sick. I applied Age Rewind under my eyes and Dream Lumi around my nose to hide extra redness. I blended them in with my fingers using light patting motions.   I evened out my complexion with two fairly recent products...

Adela's at home pedicure

Welcome back! Spring is officially here which means warmer weather and cute sandals! It's time to get those tootsies back in shape! Now I can admit, a professional pedicure can be nice. But if you are short on time and want to save some cash why not do it at home? Today I'll share my at home pedicure routine. I do this year round (Once a month in the winter. Twice a month in the spring/summer). Let's get started... Here are the supplies you'll need: A towel Nail Polish remover Cotton balls Sugar scrub Bath Salts  Lotion Manicure kit Cuticle oil Cuticle remover  Rubbing alcohol in a spray bottle Nail file Buffer Pumice stone  Correcting pen Orange stick Clippers Cuticle clippers Base coat Top coat Polish of your choice  Large bowl to soak your feet I know that seems like a lot, you probably already have these items. If not, you can find most of them at your local dollar store.  Step 1. Remove old polish. This is the polish remover I use. Any brand will work. Step...

Update: Where I've been...

Hello!  You may have noticed that I haven't posted on here in over a month! A lot has been going on in my life. Without going into too much detail I will say that I was not getting enough sleep and there was death in the family. Slowly but surely I have bounced back and I'm ready to move on. I have some new posts planned for you all and want to thank you for sticking with me through my absence. Also, I am still planning on doing a giveaway to celebrate over 20,000 views. You guys are awesome! Your support means the world to me. I can't wait to get back into blogging regularly. If you have any requests, please let me know.  Xoxo, Adela
