may beauty round up

Flash series of my favorite makeup and skincare from this past month of May...

My skin has definitely been going through a rough patch this past month! I believe mostly because of hormones, so I've been trying to take extra care of my skin and the products I've been using. I have acquired some new items, but there are some old favorites as well...

I've been trying to get into using more of the Fresh Seaberry Cleansing Oil, since it removes makeup and just makes my skin feel so much cleaner (and softer, like it says on the bottle.) It was a bit pricy, so a goal is to definitely keep on using this product to see if I truly love it. I use it after doing my cleanser, which as of now is the Fresh Soy Cleanser, but I'm thinking about changing it because I feel as if it is making my skin worse...which is crazy because I know everyone loves the soy cleanser! Has anyone else tried it? If so, thoughts...just so I know it might be me and my skin. Anyway, I love Herbivore's Balance Spray, as well as my new favorite, the Aesop Makeup Remover. Both have become staples in my routine in removing my makeup and just making me feel refreshed!

Of course, where would I be without my candle collection? I know that candles can be so silly to spend money on, but I do have my reasons. It's weird because the candles I like, which are pricier, I like because they aren't overly strong. You guys know I used to love Bath & Body candles, but I realized they were giving me raging headaches.  I also love that I can re-use these jars. I love having this mini Diptyque Patchouli candle on before bed, or the ultra-mini Figuire. Both have such nice, light scents, but make my apartment smell like warmth, sweet sweet warmth. If I do want a bit of a heavier scent, I love Margiela's Jazz Club candle. It reminds me of Adam because Jazz Club is his scent. Pictured too, Diptyque's Eau Duelle perfume, which is also rich and a bit more masculine.

My desk's usual set up, with my perfume collection and the magazine I'm sure you're sick of me photographing! Hahaha

I did talk about Armani in my last post about makeup, but I am truly obsessed! My favorites are the foundation primer, the Maestro UV Makeup Primer, and the Armani Silk Foundation. Both just feel amazing on my skin, and doesn't feel like it's clogging my pores. 

Glossier's Generation G in Crush 

Now, going back to Replica's scent Jazz Club, I've just fell in love with it this month! Though it is more of a wintery scent, I love wearing it on date nights with red lipstick. It makes me feel so romantic. I also don't mind that Adam and I sometimes wear the same scent, again, we both love it, so why should one of us just wear it?!

 Lastly, because my skin has been whacko, I was looking for a nice face mask that would make my skin feel better and make the inflammation of zits moderate. With that said, I tried out Glossier's Mega Greens Galaxy Pack and definitely like it! Though I'm unsure whether I love it, it has been a great mask just to throw on during a decompressing night with tea just to feel better about myself. I want to give it a couple more uses until I fully decide if I love it. 

I hope you enjoyed this post! Obviously my skincare obsession is not going away anytime soon. Let me know what you've been loving! More posts will be up this week! xo
