Legally Blonde's Proceedings

I last blogged about my skincare routine in August 2017 .  I haven't updated since then because I hadn't been tempted to try any new products and was pretty happy with my routine.  But recently, I purchased a few new products, so I wanted to do an update.  As always, I'm no expert, I just like to use great products and I'm always on the hunt for something great. Just to recap, this has been my steady routine for a while... I wipe makeup off my face before I use any products.  I prefer these Walmart brand Equate face wipes .  They are their version of Neutrogena wipes.  They don't irritate my skin, they do a good job of taking off makeup, and don't contain a heavy smell... Next I wash with Renee Rouleau's AHA/BHA Blemish Control Cleanser ... Then I use RR Balancing Skin Tonic Toner .  It's alcohol free, which I really like... Next I use Teddy Organic's Rosehip Oil.  I put about 5 drops into the palm of my hand, rub them aroun...

I'm no Skincare expert, but I do like to buy beauty products.  It's been a LONG time since I have blogged about my favorites.  Some may be the same, some have changed.  Here is what I'm loving right now... I'm still using some of the Renee Rouleau products.  Over the past couple of years, I have used many of these products, but I'm down to two.  They repackaged last year, and along with looking different, you get less product for the same (or maybe even more?) money.  Which is a bummer, but the products are good.  They don't upset my face (I recently tried to go cheap with a Neutrogena set of cleanser and toner, and my face freaked out!) For a cleanser, I use the RR AHA/BHA Blemish Control with Salicylic Acid Face Wash .  That cheaper brand I bought a few weeks ago had all of those same ingredients, but my face is just too sensitive for that formula.  I've never had any trouble with RR, so back to the old faithful I went. (Note: I do use ...

I am a self proclaimed product junkie.  Not that I buy tons and tons (well, probably more than some people I'm sure), but I am a full believer in products... make-up, hair products, skin care, you name it.  I'm a little suspicious of people who don't use products.  Not as suspicious as I am of people who carry small purses, but it's a close second. I'm going to write a few posts on products and I'm starting today with Skin Care.  I have tried a zillion types of skin care...  Expensive, Inexpensive, 3 steps, 20 steps, department store, drug store, etc.  For the past couple of years, I have found myself leaning toward the cheaper products.  I have found that they provide just about the same amount as satisfaction as the more expensive brands. To remove make-up, I like two products: Purpose Gentle Cleansing Wash is a good one.  It's made by Johnson and Johnson.  It's cheap too.  Like around the $6 price point.  It's prett...
