Do You Use Physical or Chemical Exfoliating Products?

Do you use physical or chemical exfoliating products? How often do you exfoliate? I’m more of a physical kind of girl myself because I’m a little unsure of myself around acids! As I’ve gotten older I’m starting to explore chemical exfoliating products more and more though. I started using the Inkey List Lactic Acid which is gentle and ideal for drier skin and I like the results so far. I’ve used Pixi’s Glow Tonic in the past but the smell became too much for me (it smells like old lady perfume) and I stopped using it. I’ve also used Resist Advanced Smoothing Treatment 10% AHA and had fantastic results.

I have to admit though I find physical exfoliating a lot easier! When I use a chemical exfoliating product I have to be careful which other products I’m combining it with. If I use a physical one there’s no such issue.

I do think that physical exfoliating products can really dry my skin out though where as physical ones I don’t experience the same reaction. I tend to exfoliate twice a week if I’m using a physical product and that’s even too much. For acids/chemicals I use them every night. I’ve sort of made a promise to myself that this year I’d start going the chemical route. I think my skin will thank me when the long, hard Winter makes an appearance!

How do you exfoliate? Do you use physical or chemical products?

How often do you use them?

What results do you experience using them?

Laneige Mint Chocolate Chip and Candy Lip Sleeping Mask for Kissable Holiday Lips

I receive a small commission if you shop through my link.

Mint Chocolate Chip and Candy are two new Laneige Lip Sleeping Mask flavors that launched for Holiday 2019 yesterday but oh my god why are they limited edition? They sound positively yummy! I love Laneige’s original Lip Sleeping Mask and some of the flavored ones they released several months ago are quite lovely as well! I’m glad they are doing some Holiday flavors as well! The lip mask has a soft balmy texture and can be used over to to hydrate your lips. I use it in the day too! I imagine I’m breaking some rule doing so but meh I like to live dangerously. It has such a nice shiny finish plus it nicely hydrate my lips so why not use it in the day right?

The two new flavors are Mint Chocolate Chip and Candy. I’m most curious about candy! The flavored Lip Sleeping Masks that Laneige has done in the past are quite subtly flavored and scented so I wonder if these two new flavors will be more of the same. That’s great for sensitive users but for those of us that are reliving our Bonne Bell youth over here and want something strongly flavored might be disappointed.

None the less, I’m looking forward to trying these.

Laneige Mint Chocolate Chip and Candy Lip Sleeping Mask is available now at Sephora for $20 each but hurry these limited edition flavors are here for the Holidays only!

15 New Drugstore Picks at Walmart

I was compensated by a brand or company but all thoughts and opinions are my own and I receive a small commission if you shop using the links in this post.

What’s the story morning glory? How’s your Fall treating you? Anything new in the world of drugstore makeup and beauty? It’s been sort of slow going with Fall 2019 Collections from drugstores hasn’t it? I haven’t really seen much new from Maybelline, L’Oreal, etc…! I’m waiting to see what they launch but at the moment I haven’t seen much!

I have however, seen a slew of new skincare popping at Walmart not to mention a ton of new Physicians Formula items I’ve had my eye on! I’ve collaborated with Walmart to share a few new beauty, makeup, and skincare picks that might grab your attention! I’ve collaborated with them in the past well every since they started their Here for Every Beauty campaign that celebrates over 327 different million faces that make up America. This is a paid sponsorship with them however, the products I selected and I’m talking about are ones I choose myself to feature and wants I’d like to purchase and try out.

Let’s take a look at the latest beauty picks at Walmart below!

Sephora Holy Sheet Mask & Self Care Set for Holiday 2019 Arrives

I receive a small commission if you shop through my link.

It’s that time of the year again! Time for Sephora to release their Mask Vault Set! Sephora Holy Sheet Mask & Self Care Set arrives today and it’s packed not only with sheet masks but also includes hand cream, masks, body butters, makeup wipes, and more.

I remember when the original Hot Sheet Mask Set came out and it was all masks and all the time. Sephora steps up the last few Holidays and started including all sorts of extras in the set along with sheet masks. I’m sheet mask CRAZY! I literally use them like four or five times a week so sets like this are actually pretty cool for me as I can never have enough of a good sheet mask. Call me crazy but sheet masks are really a skin savior and make my complexion so smooth and plumped up especially in the Winter months when I’m dry and dull looking!
