Favorites New and Old.

It's been a minute since I've done a favorites post - so here are some new and old ones with updates :)

This KMS FreeShape Quick Blow Dry is awesome, it has a light scent and it helps you blow dry your hair faster! Totally love love love cause I hate blow drying my hairs #lazy

After Aiden I became a little more sesitive to my skin issues, I was suffering from melasma gravidarum - or pregnancy mask. At first I thought it was sun damage, but after talking to a professional I learned it wasn't and there are not a lot of options out there for me to fix it. The most common product proscribed is Retin A which I can't use because I'm out in the sun for long periods of time {running/soccer} - if you get too much sun it can actually make it worse.

The best I can do it to use a brightening facial product and lots of sunscreen. I've been using Equitance for a few weeks now and I'm really loving how it makes my skin look, I use it daily underneath my favorite SPF30, Purlisse Pur-Protect Moisturizer.

I think a lot of times people expect miracles from a bottle, that's just unrealistic, but I'm a tried and true product junkie and there are a few things I look for in skincare:
1. smell - it has to be orderless or pleasant.
2. texture - I don't like anything heavy or oily. I don't want to shine like a diamond on my face.
3. durability - how well does it last though the day.
4. co-parenting - how well does it partner with my other products, I want it to be a good foundation to my foundation. It's a marriage on my face!

Here's a link to my favorite makeup products - also here's a code for 15% off Equitance INFL15 ; you can also get a free trial kit until Nov 20th.

I'm still head over heels in love with my spray tan machine, Maxi-Mist Lite Sunless Spray Tanning Kit. I am using this mitt, Dermasuri Deep Exfoliating Mitt before I tan {no product just soak in hot water and scrub} and this is my ultimate favoritest solution, Norvell Venetian Solution. I had to fire Oliver from spraying me after a drinking and tanning situation, so I had to get flexible and learn to spray myself. I had a few requests for a tutorial, but that ain't happening so I found one that's pretty much EXACTLY what I do. Here's the link if you need it.

It's really very easy and I only have to spray once a week with this solution, before I had to go at least 2x a week and the color wasn't as realistic. The Norvell is a browner, more true tan color.
