Hi Ladies! I hope you all had a great New Years and I wish all my readers a wonderful new year with lots of love <3
I'm going to start the New Year talking about skin care which is the most important part of every beauty routine. You have to find the right products for your skin type. It's not easy, it takes a lot of money spending and breakouts to find the perfect products sometimes, but you'll get there!

Right now I have combination skin which means that I have some oily, dry and normal parts of my skin. The key to any skin care or make-up or even fashion is balance. So with your skin care, you'll gave to look for balance. I found that these products give my skin the perfect balance, so at the end of the day my skin looks normal and not dry or oily.
I don't use a toner. For me there's not need for it. So a cleanser and a moisturizer it's only what I need.Then I use a make-up remover at night and an eye gel at day and night.

The Cleanser: Angels on Bare Skin by Lush

 

"Angels on Bare Skin is the Lush version of an expensive medieval skincare recipe. Rare, precious essential oils were first brought to Europe by the crusaders who encountered Arabian medicine.  

Rose oil and lavender oil were discovered to do wonderful things for the skin, too, while the gentle exfoliation of the almonds helps to keep the skin clear and improve the texture of the skin. Lavender is extremely soothing for the skin."

Ingredients: Ground Almonds (Prunus dulcis), Glycerine, Kaolin, Water (Aqua), Lavender Oil (Lavandula angustifolia), Rose Absolute (Rosa damascena), Chamomile Blue Oil (Matricaria chamomilla), Tagetes Oil (Tagetes minuta), Benzoin Resinoid (Styrax tonkinensis pierre), Lavender Flowers (Lavandula angustifolia), *Limonene, *Linalool

*Occurs naturally in essential oils

This is by far the best cleanser I have ever tried. It's cleanses my skin gently while exfoliating and cleaning it in the perfect way. I have sensitive skin and this doesn't irritates or dry out my skin. This product it's the first step to that perfect balance that my skin needs. The scent isn't overpowering or bad, it smells like lavender.

The moisturizer: Laura Mercier Moisturizer Cream with spf 15

I was expecting miracles from this cream because  it was a little bit expensive and I'm not disappointed. It provides the perfect balance for my skin without giving an oily feeling to it. It's very light weight and creamy and it has a light scent. I love how it smooths my skin and kind of blurs my imperfections. It's perfect base for make-up. 

The Make-Up Remover: Ultra Bland Cleanser by Lush

"Ultrabland is a huge cult product. With a new almond oil base, this cream cleanser takes off make-up and cares for your face. It's gentle, but the deeply-cleansing oils reach down and remove stubborn dirt and makeup. Helen has used it every day for 13 years and has never looked back."

*Occurs naturally in essential oils 

I use this cleanser to remove my make-up at night. It removes everything in a gently way and leaves your skin with a glowy and dewy finish to it. It's just perfect! Some people say it is too oily and maybe they are using it wrong. I remove this with a warm wash cloth or my skin would have an oily residue.

Clarins eye gel

I don't really like this product. It's a bit expensive for what it is... and it honestly does nothing for my dark circles. I use it everyday because I spent some money on it and I want to finish it up before I start using the nivea aqua one.

So that's it! I usually change my skin care routine once the seasons change because or skin changes as well, but this is by far my favorite one. I'll recommend to everyone the cleanser by Lush because it's just heaven!
I exfoliate once a week with the magic peeling glove like I said in previous pots, so I didn't feel the need to incorporate it here as well.

I just bought in Spain a cute Marilyn Monroe board to hang on my room... I think it looks really pretty and it gives a more girly yet classy look to my room. I love the conjunction of pink and white as you can see, and with the red lips on the picture it just gives a pop... I kind of love it <3

Do you have any on your bed room like me? Or you like to keep it simple? xoxo*
