Putting your face on

Every girl has a different morning routine of "putting her face on". For  those of you that aren't set on your current routine, or are looking to change it up, or don't have one at all...today Lo & I are sharing with you the items in our routine that we swear by.Here are the 3 items I cannot go a day without:[show_shopthepost_widget id="340396"]1. Clarisonic - My combination skin has always been my "thorn in my side", if you will. My mom got me a Clarisonic for Christmas 2 years ago, and it has totally changed my skin. I noticed a difference in my complexion literally within days. It gives your pores a good deep clean, and really just makes washing your face more fun!2. Laura Mercier tinted moisturizer - This is my go to foundation whether I'm getting dressed up for a date night, or have 5 minutes to get ready in the mornings. The coverage is amazing but still looks so natural. It also has SPF 20 in it, so I put this on before heading to the beach on vacation as well!3. Laura Mercier high coverage concealer for under eye - I attribute my dark circle problem to the fact that I have dark skin and dark hair. But, regardless, no matter how much sleep I get, I still tend to have little dark shadows under my eyes. This concealer has been my favorite for a while now because it lasts all day long + makes my eyes so much brighter.Here's a glimpse into how Lo "puts her face on" daily:[show_shopthepost_widget id="340424"]1. Lo uses Chantecaille's face wash - This is a rice & geranium foaming cleanser that gently exfoliates and softens the skin.2. Chantecaille eye cream - another staple in Lo's daily routine, this eye cream uses advanced technology to smooth, firm, and rebuild delicate skin around the eyes. Let's be real, we're not getting any younger & now is the time to start taking care of our skin!3. Kiehl's face mask - Truly the best face mask out there. Plus this one is currently $20 at Nordstrom! I promise it will be a $20 well spent; your skin will thank you both now and later!Let us know what items in your routine are your staples, or how you "put your face on" everyday!

5 Items You MUST Have in Your Makeup Bag!

I am constantly trying to sort through the old and add in new products to my makeup routine. Personally, I like to try and keep things simple when possible. I recently asked makeup artist Erika Palmacci for some inside tips on what items are necessities. She gave me the scoop on 5 things that are must haves for every girls' makeup bag.1) NARS Orgasm Blush. The universally flattering shade has a subtle highlight with gold shimmer accents. A makeup artist and beauty editor favorite!2) Benefit Eye Bright.  A pink perk-me-up stick to brighten your eyes. Keep it handy for those afternoon touch ups.3) Laura Mercier Undercover Pot. This travel-friendly pot contains award-winning Secret Camouflage and Secret Concealer. The product is oil free and stays place all day long covering blemishes and imperfections. Set your makeup with the lightweight, silky Translucent Loose Setting Powder. Need I say more?4) Fresh Sugar Lip Treatment SPF 15. Feels amazing, no need to constantly reapply and isn't sticky. Love this product! The treatment nourishes, protects and plumps the lips all day long.5) Anastasia Brow Fix. Keeping your brows in line is so important. Brows frame your face, so if they are just a hair off your whole appearance can change. Brow Fix is a colorless brow gel that comes in a pencil making it easy to store and use without that goopy feeling.
