Winter Beauty Part 2

In my beauty post last month I highlighted old and new products that have been working (or trying to work) for me here in this never-ending winter. In my ongoing efforts to find THE product to combat my dry patchy skin and for foundation that doesn't become striated as the day freezes on I've added to my latest round of lotions and potions!




For my everyday moisturizer I've been patting on Eucerin's Anti-Wrinkle Cream and the dry patches have definitely lessened. My face feels hydrated during the day, and at just under $10 from Amazon it's a win! 




For my nighttime skincare I've been using Mary Kay products that my BFF turned me on to. 


I've been paying more attention to the skin under my eyes here since my last birthday, and this fun gel has been a great addition to my getting-ready-for-bed routine. 




For the rest of my face this heavier lotion keeps me from drying out overnight and feels quite luxurious, which is a nice little pampering moment to have before bed. 


For some high-powered hydration I've been slapping on these sheet masks from Diana Dickson once a week. With 8 sheets in a pack these will see me well into spring! 


As for foundation, I've gone back to an old standby, Dr. Jart's BB Cream. 



This water-fused beauty balm also has 25 SPF which is just the right amount of sun protection for the grey Pittsburgh winter. Plus, it does't flake, get cakey, and is actually good for my skin. 



Of course I'm not 100% satisfied with my daytime face, as my red undertones are still visible, so I'm looking into concealers like this Physicians Formula Conceal Rx Physicians Strength Concealer



I've heard green-based sticks, concealers, etc are THE thing to combat redness, which I definitely experience here on these cold days. So, I plan to check out Ulta this weekend and explore some options. 

What beauty buys have been rocking your world this winter? I'm always on the look out for good recommendations.

Annie Lennox Realness!

Love the tuxedo detail of these cropped pants. coat/pants-Jcrew(similar here and here ), blazer-Zara(similar here ), shirt-Asos(sort of similar here ), shoes-DSW(really cool here ), gloves-Brian Atwood for Neiman Marcus/Target(more gloves here ), sunglasses-Banana Republic(similar here ) I'm feeling very Annie Lennox circa Eurythmics in this outfit, eh? Most times wearing a coat is a necessity, not necessarily an intricate part of the outfit, but here it really makes the look. And even though the blazer is covered up the hints of it, almost like a lining, work break up an all grey/white look.  And now for your viewing pleasure  Sweet Dreams:   Have a great weekend!

Hamptons-Poolside-Chic meets Sue Ellen Ewing Early '80's Realness

Okay, this post title is ridiculous I know, BUT come on, it's accurate am I right? blouse- JOA via Le Tote , necklace/bracelet- Le Tote , trousers- Zara , belt-J.Crew,(similar here ) wedges- Sole Society These pleated drapey pants scream early 80's glamour. Paired with this sailor-suit-esque blouse I was definitely ready for a seaside cocktail party, right? This outfit also called to mind the elegance of early 80's  Dallas .  It has been my experience that as a child of the 80's one's house was either in the Dallas camp or the Dynasty camp. We were a Dallas household for sures. So, one of my earliest style influences was Sue Ellen Ewing . Despite the pills, the booze, the philandering husband, and lost potential of a life on her own terms Miss Sue Ellen kept it quite fierce especially in the early years of the show.  Here she is serving up sternum-baring chic!  I tried to watch the reboot of the series on TNT, but I just couldn...

Cowboy Boots & Floral Skirts

Western wear has seen a resurgence here with the Cowboy Carter of it all, among other influences. I'm not one for cowgirl cosplay, but I do enjoy a good boot. Here I've styled by western boots with a mixed print autumnal outfit.  Blazer-- Luciano Barbera via Threadflip(now defunct), henley-Gap(similar here ), shirt-Uniqlo(similar here ), skirt- Amazon , boots-Coconuts via DSW(similar here ), necklace/bracelet- Slide Jewelry , ring/necklace-Ana Luisa(similar here and here ) I last featured these boots in a spring/summer look here . And I styled them with this same skirt back in April here . While this top is part of a "matching set" featured here  I'm doing the classic styling hack of "breaking it up" and the olive green coordinates with the skirt. You can watch my reel of the cinching drawstring features of this shirt here .  Again I'm wearing the promotional Slide Jewelry set. Here's a referral link to also become an ambassador for discounts ...
