Blemish products that actually work!

Hello beauties!!

Don't you just love those days when you wake up and upon brushing your teeth you come face to face with a new blemish.. "Oh hello pimple, care to join me for the rest of my day and take over my face??" Yep, best days ever! Well after trying hundreds of products I have officially narrowed down the technique to just a few simple steps that actually do work immediately. 

Mario Badescu is one of my favorite skin care lines for the mere fact that it works and is affordable!


The Buffering Lotion and Drying Lotion are the two must have products for anyone who gets a random blemish here and there. 

Mario Badescu Buffering Lotion

As a skin care fanatic, the one thing I look at first is the list of ingredients. If the list is way too big and the print is far too fine I'm already over the product. Simpler is better, especially when it comes to your face!
This  lotion is my go-to whenever I notice a pimple or whitehead. The way you use this lotion is effortless. Just shake the bottle so that the powder is dispersed throughout the liquid and squeeze a tiny bit onto a clean finger and apply directly on the blemish. Easy peasy! What I really love about the buffering lotion is that it is so light and practically invisible. You won't be walking around with any noticeable thick cream or gel because it's quickly absorbed into your skin. Perfect as a day treatment. 


Full Ingredients: Deionized Water, Isopropyl Alcohol, Sodium Sulfate, Zinc Oxide, Hydrolyzed Serum Protein, Hydrolyzed Yeast Protein, Pyridoxine, Niacinamide, Panthenol, Propylene Glycol, Allantoin, Biotin.


Mario Badescu Drying Lotion is hands down the best overnight blemish treatment so throw all your other false remedies away and get your hands on this bottle asap!!!

All That Glitters...

The second I thought my glitter nail polish obsession was finally weakening, I was introduced to Deborah Lippmann's gorgeous collection! And back I fell into the love-hate relationship I have with glitter nail polish. The Love being the obvious -- who doesn't want to have sparkley fun polish?!? The Hate -- the long and annoying process of taking that damn stuff off! Until now.. finally found a less torturous way to remove the glitter nail polish without having to bite, scrape, peel or buff your nails down. It's practically effortless and the result is a set of glitter-free nails and cuticles :) 

Step One - Take a cotton ball and saturate halfway through with Pure Acetone (for those who have very dry cuticles or nails, you can use Non-Acetone although Pure Acetone will be more effective). You will need one cotton ball per nail. 

Step Two - Place the wet part of the cotton ball down on your nail and press down. Take a small sheet of aluminum foil and wrap your finger, with the cotton ball in place on top of your nail. Do this step to all of your nails. 

Step Three - Leave the foil on your fingers for about 5 minutes. 

Step Four - To remove, press down on your nail while slipping the foil off your finger. Voila!! No glittery mess!
