A couple of weeks ago, I had the opportunity to participate in a beauty breakfast organized by Ripley (a huge department store in Latin-America) and it was the best experience ever. 

Breakouts: How I handle them

I am pretty sure everyone suffers from small breakouts once in a while. I am quite thankful that I don't have to handle acne and that my skin is pretty much clear, well except when I have those small and hideous breakouts that are inevitable from time to time. They bother me like crazy. Specially if there is an occasion where I would love to have my skin flawless and what not. But there they are, like knowing that you need that the most and appear like a call has been made to invite them to enjoy the party! 

Recently, I've been having to deal with that. My skin was being mischievous with me and felt like it was playing a bag joke on me. My routine is pretty much the same since I was in High School, but I had only changed facial soaps during this time. I was using a bar soap from Clean & Clear and not my usual foaming cleanser. That was it. 

A couple days ago I switched back and that did the trick. Normally all Clean & Clear products do wonders for me, I just don't know what happened with that one. But switching back to the foaming cleanser was a miracle and also I applied the clear gel to fight with the small breakouts of my skin. So I have seen an improvement. My problem area is my forehead, just in between my eyebrows and going a little over them I don't know the deal about it but it is just hideous and bothering and makes me self conscious. 

Also, I keep reading blogs and hearing YouTube beauty gurus talk about the Bioderma Sensibio H2O, which is a cleansing water that acts removing makeup, as a toner or just to cleanse your face. I am looking forward to trying it. In Peru I know that there are 3 drugstores that carry the brand, they are Boticas Fasa, MiFarma and BTL, if you are living in this beautiful country (like I am) you can go check them out. And there are plenty of other places around the world that carry the brand. You can go to the Bioderma Webpage to see where you can find it with no trouble. 

I hope this has been a little useful and now you know how I handle that little pain in the butt that are those unexpected breakouts.

My Everyday beauty and makeup routine

I normally don't wear much makeup, just for when I am having a big party, where all my friends or family are going to be and it is a more "fancy" one. I tend to go bare skin to where ever I go. Specially if I am running errands. Not much interesting people to find when you are grocery shopping is there? 

Well, lately I've been obsessed with going out, more often, and heading to class, with at least my eyes eye lined, with some mascara and color on my lips. That is all I use. 

So my routine starts in the morning by washing my face and moisturizing it, I take a shower every other day. Then I chose my outfit and then get my hands on my eyeliner, mascara and lipstick. The color of lipsticks tend to be very subtle and natural for daily wear. I leave the bold colors for meeting my friends at night and having a good time. 

what is your beauty routine?
