Every year I love to do a little round out of my favorite products. Lately I have been asked quite a bit about my foundation which surprises everyone when I tell them most things I use are from the drug store. So today I am sharing with you my favorite everyday wear drug store foundation and some other face products that I use 24/7!
MAKEUP
FOUNDATION- This is a mix of all my face makeup I use in total. I don't use all of these everyday but I thought I'd run you through what I use. For just everyday hanging out at the house I use the L'Oreal BB Cream with some concealer. If I am going to run some errands and go to the store I'll do mostly the BB Cream and add in the Maybelline Super Stay foundation. When I am going out or what not I will use 1/4 BB Cream and 3/4 of the MAC Studio Sculpt foundation. I love the Mac foundation for the full coverage look. I have tried quite a few foundations in my years and the MAC Studio Sculpt one is simply the best.
BLENDERS- I have tired a lot of beauty sponges but the beauty blender is worth the $20. I get mine totally wet then squeeze the water out then use it. I NEVER use the beauty blender dry.
POWDER- The best powder I have found is the TOO FACED Born This Way powder. I love the coverage and way it goes on!

Setting Spray- I use this found face and body spray as a makeup setting spray and also as a midday refresh. It is from Walmart and is under $10 so it is a great option.
COLLAGEN- I started taking beauty collagen a few months ago and I love the single size serving and the Hanhoo product. It is Collagen, Vitamin C, and Biotin to help your skin, strengthening nails, hair, and bones. This supplement contains 1000mg of Collagen per serving, full daily Vitamin C intake, and is also a Multi-Vitamin. This is available at Walmart which is AWESOME!
MORNING AND NIGHT ROUTINE-I started using Rodan and Fields 3 years ago and I have never looked back. I can probably count on 1 hand the amount of blemishes or breakouts I've had since using it. LOVE LOVE LOVE! I have done the sensitive skin one and then I have been using the redefine for about 2 years. I think the toner is the product that makes all the difference.
FACIAL OIL- This summer I started using a facial oil and mixed it with my morning and night time cream. I like how dewy it makes my skin and the extra level of hydration it brings. I have loved this HanHoo brand from Walmart.
Eye Cream- I have been using the DNA from dr.brandt. I love the thickness of it and the way it goes on. It has helped with my dark circles. I use quite a lot of serums or creams for my eyes but this one is my go to. It is a bit expensive but I don't mind paying when it comes to eye creams.
Calming Face Oil- I think I've talked about this Peter Thomas Roth cannabis facial oil. I LOVE THIS STUFF! I use it when my face has some sensitive areas or any redness this does the trick. Sometimes I get really red and tender under my eyes and using this 2 times it will be totally gone. This stuff is magical! I don't use it very often so I am on the same bottle I got a year ago.

Retinol- I have used this Peter Thomas Roth Retinol for years. It is a good priced item (for retinol) and I think lasts a long time. AND this is regularly $65 but right now RueLaLa has it one small for $39! I suggest if you want to try it it would be a great time to by HERE!
I also use the Rodan and Fields derma roller, I think this has also had a good change on my skin. I know it seems like a lot. I try and keep my morning routine simple, wash face use a toner, the am cream (Must have an SPF in it) and my facial oil then I do my makeup. At night I have extra time and that is when I spend longer I do the entire Rodan and Fields routine including the roller a few times a week and then all the extra eye creams and serums. My nighttime routine takes a good 7-10 minutes. But I think it has made all the difference.
I am by no means an expert I just feel like I've found some good products that work for my sensitive skin and that I've seen good results with so I wanted to share with you!
Cheers,
Jess
