Overnight Beauty

 
 I'm trying out a new overnight beauty routine.  Before I'd wash my face and dab some zit gel on any spots if I had a breakout and call it a night.  Then I came across a blurb about overnight masks and damage repair which got me thinking.  At my age skincare is no longer just about controlling breakouts, I need to start maintaining my elasticity and wrinkle prevention.  At least, this is what I've been told by the internet.  So, on the recommendation of some friends I purchased these two products.





First up Kiehl's Damage Repair Serum


Then Dr. Jart's Firming Sleeping Mask






My hair is AWESOME!


Wait 10 minutes before hitting the hay.



So far I've noticed just a general freshness to my face. I'm keeping my fingers crossed on the acne front as well. Sometimes when I try/start a new product my skin rebels a bit and offers up some lovely breakouts.  After a few night things seem pretty clear. Again, fingers crossed!

So, what new beauty treatments have you heard of, are trying out?

    I'm glad you're trying the kiehls! Let me know how the Dr. Jart's works out! I've been wanting to try the Dr. Jart's BB Cream, but haven't taken the leap.

      I also use the BB cream, and I enjoy. Its great for pale girls. I apply it with this: http://www.birchbox.com/shop/beauty-blender-double which provides a great smooth finish.

Two Things

First: Isabel Marant's collocation for H&M debuts today in select stores AND online at noon, so you may want to get up on that.  Here are a few looks I'm lusting after. Hello mixed patterns!   Love the oversized coat and the detail on these jeans.   Patterned blazer, cropped colorful trousers, yes please!   Of course, I cannot partake in this collection with my Year Of No Shopping, but that doesn't mean you shouldn't. So get ready to go by noon because I'm sure this noise will sell out fast.   Number Two: I'm thinking about a new haircut.  Something along the lines of Tilda Swinton .     What do we think? I'm not going to go blond, but I like the shorter/buzzed sides and back with length on the top. Mr. Keller is hesitant, he thinks it's too masculine, but I'm kind of in the mood to go a bit edgy and I've had the same cut now for two-ish years...  FYI: Tilda Swinton is my spirit animal!

Nasty Gal

Since the weather has been horrible I've been consoling myself with online shopping. And have made my first purchase with Nasty Gal : Lacy Chiffon Blouse Yuma Studded Blouse Alva Knit Dotted Stud Blouse Apparently I'm having a button-up shirt craving. I think all three of these shirts could work with the sweater, which is an alternative to your basic pull-over and may be a bit too edgy for work. But, I'm thinking a conservative wool trousers would nicely balance it out.  And in writing this I've come to the realization that my work "uniform" for the rest of the winter will focus on mixing edgy pieces, (or items with unexpected details) with conservative basics.  That might not always actually happen, but it's a good starting off point in planning a week's office wear.  Okay, enough of my pontificating, go check out the sale over at Nasty Gal there are some great deals to be had.

Mid-Summer Sales!!!!

It's time for one of my all time favorite summer activities! No, not bbq and fireworks, but the mid-summer/4th of July sales!!! There are bargains to be had everywhere you turn and I've already scored some deals here this past week!  From Zara 's Sale: Waistband Trousers Oversized Tee From J.Crew : Linen Shorts Side-Slit Tee And a few pieces I'm thinking of from ModCloth : ModCloth T-Shirt Dress Chambray Tunic True, these pieces are a bit "basic" but I'm thinking of the 80/20 Wardrobe Plan . 80% of your closet serves as foundation/workhorse pieces with 20% consisting of statement, more fanciful items. Like this "coatigan" from Nasty Gal Wool Coatigan Just think how this coat/cardi hybrid will pop against the t-shirt dress above, and/or the grey pants and either t-shirt, for a solid 80/20 outfit!  Regardless of how you approach your mid-season shopping the point is to get up on the
