Updates! Updates! Updates!

Ok, so I'm still completely loving the CoverGirl makeup that I wrote about previously. I still use it and I am loving it!! Another update is the Dr. Hauschka skin care. Well, I did that for about 2 weeks and I quit. I really wanted to stick through it for about a month but I think I wear too much makeup to use all natural products haha. I think that Hauschka products are still fantastic but I definitely think it is better for the all-natural kinda gal and I wear too much makeup for that! I felt like the cleanser didn't remove all my makeup and after about a week I could tell because I started to break out!! So in conclusion-I think it is absolutely a fantastic line but I think I need a little something more. I still have that struggle to choose between all natural and products with chemicals in them but I am starting to think that me personally, I need my Balancing Gel and Glycolic Cleansers. I feel like they really remove my makeup and my skin never looks better when I am using my regular regimen. If you're wondering what my regular regimen is this is it:
A.M.
I wash my face with Balancing Gel from Therapy Systems
I tone my skin with Seaweed Cleansing Lotion from Mario Badescu
Moisturizers really range in the morning-some mornings it's the Jergens Natural Glow Healthy Complexion Self-Tanning Moisturizer or the Murad Hydro-Dynamic Ultimate Moisturizer

P.M.
Every other night I will use my Clarisonic
I will wash my face with Therapy Systems Glycolic Cleansing Lotion (it's amazing!)
Sometimes I will wash my face with Therapy Systems Micro Exfoliating Cream every few nights a week
I will tone with Mario Badescu Glycolic Toner
and I treat my skin with Topical A from Therapy Systems (I will write about this later)
If I don't treat my skin with Topical A I will use Mario Badescu's Anti-Acne Serum and his Buffering Lotion (I will write about these two amazing products later too!)
For moisturizers I will either use Mario Badescu's Buttermilk Moisturizer or Therapy Systems Oil-Free Moisturizer.

As you can see my two favorite product lines are Therapy Systems and Mario Badescu. They are like Yin and Yang. Therapy Systems is a super-powerful line that has amazing active ingredients. Mario Badescu is not labeled all natural but they really contain minimum ingredients that are not active and harsh so they are very gentle and it's a nice balance between both. I'll write about all this later!
