THE 9 SKINCARE PRODUCTS I USE EVERYDAY

Happy Fresh Week and the week of SPRING! Whoohoo! Many of you have asked for my skincare routine so here we go! And no, I didn't plan on using "Nine" of them lol.

Let tell you one of my top skincare tips and how I minimally took care of my face most of my life. I guess I felt like barely any product was the best method, lol.

Water has always been my number one! Keep that skin hydrated by consuming plenty of water! For years and years, all I did wash my face, NO PRODUCTS. Then because my beautiful grandma used it, I used a little Oil of Olay moisturizer. It wasn’t until a few years ago that I developed more of a skincare routine.

This current routine has been working for me for quite some time now so no plans in changing it up yet! AND I do get Botox every few months but don’t see me getting anything else done to my face, but I love and recommend Botox for aging skin. I wish I would’ve stayed earlier than 3 years ago at 49!

In order of Application

Serovital

My Morning trio of skincare Amazingness!! I have told you many times about how much I love Serovital and those are the 3 products that I start my morning off with! I stand behind these products 110%!

Use my Code ANDREA15 for 15% off

and trust me, you’ll never find another brand as good!

BUY IT HERE

TriHydrate Concentrate

First product of the day the minute I wake up! The TriHydrate Concentrate is my holy grail. If I were only to be allow one skincare product, this would be it!

TriHydrate Concentrate is formulated with 3% purified hyaluronic acid in 3 forms. This includes a broad-spectrum combination to reach deeper into the epidermis and hydrate to noticeably firm and plump skin.

VitaCorrect

I think this 2^nd one gives my skin some glow. The ultimate dark spot, the VitaCorrect Solution visibly reduces existing dark spots, plus helps fight the emergence of future spots.

Suddenly Smooth RetinAll

Get the benefits of a retinoid, without the irritation. The Suddenly Smooth RetinAll hydrates as it visibly lifts, brightens, and targets the appearance of even the most difficult wrinkles.

Cerave Eye Cream

This am step is fairly new and I use a different eye cream

In the am than I do in the pm. I love this Cerave Eye Cream. This is especially good for puffiness and dark circles.

Now we begin the nighttime routine. All but the last are done about 7pm at Shower time.

Cetaphil Gentle Makeup Remover

I used Pixi eye makeup remover pads for several years, but someone told me that the Cetaphil Remover was especially good for eyes, and I knew I would love it since I love the cleanser. I just buy my own cotton pads and it just takes one to remove even my faux eyelash liner.

Cetaphil Gentle Face Cleanser

That is another key, make sure you wash off your make up every single night no matter how tired you are! This Cetaphil Gentle Cleanser has been my holy grail. For at least two decades, I never see giving up this cleanser.

Tretinoin RX

This is another thing I should not have waited on so long for my dermatologist; Tretinoin Cream! You cannot beat this to counteract the effects of aging. I use it nightly after my cleanser. Talk to a Dermatologist about this one.

These last 2 I do right before bed.

Serovital Moisturizer

Another great Serovital product. I admit, I do not use this every single night, but the Deep Moisture Whip is one of the most amazing face moisturizers I’ve ever used. Don't forget my Promo Code: ANDREA15

IT Eye Cream
This is just a nice, thick, great under eye cream, and I like it best used overnight, so it’s the last thing that goes on my face before bedtime! Favorite "it" product is this Eye Cream!!

Sweet Dreams, Sweet Skincare!

Happy Week of SPRING too!!

WHAT I BROUGHT for $100 at TARGET

It’s time! Target Time, lol! Seems to be Target time at least once a week for me! Even better I’d when 5 of us, the Blonde Squad goes to Target! Even better if we all could’ve gone together! LOL!

Jill had a wonderful idea for a post: what we got at Target for $100! Just like I always love seeing what people buy on Amazon. I also love seeing what people get at Target, one of our most beloved institutions, lol.

If you read my blog way back in the day, you may remember a post I did in 2015 entitled 9 Things That Inevitably Happen at Target.

It was my post popular post that year and showed my newbie lack of blogging skills, but it was oh so fun and a favorite to this day!!!

Now I want to preface by saying that I did go over $100 but for a very good reason. If you are familiar with Target the Circle, you know that we often get great deals and last week when I went if you spent $125, you got $15 back on your Target Circle. Therefore, I spent $127 and got it lol.

$18 was for Mr. Nine’s Coke Zero (He’s addicted)! Soda pop is so incredibly expensive, so I only get it for him when it’s on sale and I happened to notice it was, so I grabbed him the three cases, so we won’t count that… Boring, lol! I'm addicted to Bailey's but I didn't get this seasonal goodness, just wanted to show you how pretty the bottle is, LOL! (Only in Stores)

I took my mama with me on this trip as my photog and videographer, lol. We had an interesting discussion in the deodorant aisle, LOL. I love the Native Brand of deodorant!

Of course, we had to try some things on. The clothing area is the first place I go. I think they conveniently put it in front at all Targets, lol. I really didn’t see much on this trip clothing wise but when I saw this DRESS, I immediately knew I had to have it because it was just the style I was looking at for my upcoming Europe trip. It fit like a glove. Some dressing rooms at Targets are not good at all, my local one is like trying things on in a shoebox. And another Target Circle Plus was dresses were 20% off so this was under $30!

Years ago, before many of the major tanning mousse is creams and lotions came on the scene, I used Jergens glow, and it worked great. However, a few years ago I got on the Loving Tan Mousse bandwagon, and I am so in love. When I saw at Target that Jergens had come out with A Tanning Mousse, I decided to get it and the mitt, along with the Melanin Glow Moisturizer and see how it compares to the others but is substantially cheaper.

Of course, I had to get some Easter candy! Mr. Nine loves the Reese's Eggs and we always have to have at least one Cadbury Egg a season! However, I do have a bone to pick with Reese’s, they stopped making the mini Reese’s eggs. The eggs they sell now in the bag are flat (eggs halced) and a little eggs with Reese’s peanut butter in them had the best ratio. I miss those!

And OK, I got a Bottle of My Favorite PROSECCO, LOL!

I loved the Pixi Eye Makeup remover pads, that they used to sell at target, but they stopped so since I love the cleanser so much, I got the Cetaphil Gentle Makeup Remover and it works great! Also got my favorite eyeliner: Cover Girl Perfect Point Plus and Crackers:Simple Mills Almond Crackers.

Check out the blogs of my dear Blonde Squad pals in alphabetical order! Caroline from The Petite Fashionista, Jill from Doused in Pink, Kathrine from Kathrine Eldridge Blog and Laura from I Do DeClaire.

I am so excited to see what they got!

PRODUCT EMPTIES....BEAUTY & HAIR

I cannot believe, all these years of blogging, that I’ve never done an empty products post. I see these all the time and I think they’re wonderful because it’s the products that the bloggers actually use and love! I have several of those so I really should entitle this part one, but I won’t overwhelm you, lol. These are some of my tried and true beloved products and I’ve been using many of these for years!

Lancôme Bi-Facil Double-Action Gentle Eye Makeup Remover

I used the Pixi Nourishing eye makeup remover pads for years but when my Target stopped carrying them in store, I decided to try something else. This Lancôme Eye Makeup Remover got great reviews and it works amazing. Even gently removes my magnetic eyeliner with ease. Not too oily and very gentle on the eyes.

L’Oréal Voluminous Lash Base

Whoever invented a Lash Primer was genius. Helps add such great volume. I’ve tried 4, three of those being high dollar and this L’Oréal continues to be the best. Great drugstore price point and works amazing. Under $7!!

Fave4 Texture Takeover Oomph Enhancing Spray

The only Hair OOMPH I need! This Fave4 Texture Spray! The perfect combination of a dry shampoo and a hairspray. Texture oomph enhancing hairspray for all-over volume, subtle lift, and messy, sexy texturized hold. Favorite for all-over volume and weightless lift. LOVE this

Bumble and Bumble Hairdresser’s Invisible Oil

Not kidding when I say this bottle of Invisible Hair Oil has lasted me 4 years!!! So long that the label is even different now. Yep, all it takes is a pea size to tame that frizz. Soooo good!

Cetaphil Cleanser

Well friends, hands down my favorite Face Cleanser for over 20 years. I couldn’t imagine using anything else. It’s gentle, adorable, does a great job and never dries out my skin.

Maui Moisture

Heal and Hydrate Hair Mask

I ordered this after seeing it on someone’s Instagram stories last year and fell so in love! This Hair Mask is under seven dollars smells like you’re in the tropics and works magic to rehydrate your hair. I love it!

Covergirl Perfect Point Plus Eyeliner

I’ve been using this under $5 Eyeliner for years! I love the black onyx and the way it glides on.

Loving Tan 2 HR Express

Self-Tanning Mousse in Dark

This always deserves a mention especially in the Spring when I’m pasty white and have not had seasonal enough weather yet to get a tan. You all know I used to be a sun worshiper and still am to an extent but with five skin cancers under my belt, I need a good self-tanner and trust me when I say this is it! I’ve tried many but this works better than any! No odor, it works fast and easy to apply especially with their amazing Applicator Mitt!

Eye Makeup Remover // Lash Primer // Fave4 Oomph Spray // Invisible Hair Oil // Cetaphil Cleanser // Maui Moisture Mask // Eyeliner // Self-Tanning Mousse

Ok, now I’m going to let my fingers do the keyboard ordering to replenish all this goodness! Happy Beauty! Happy Day!
