Christina's Daily Ritual

i take my showers at night and once every two days i give my face a facial steam

pluck stray hairs from eyebrows

douse face with Mario Badescu Strawberry scrub: wash face in cold water and apply moisturizer

drag my sorry ass down to my badae infront of the TV with Traincase and the MAC carry all full of my eyeshadow palettes

apply a good amount of benefit lemonaid to eyelids

fumble thru colour organized palettes and pick out the eyeshadows i want and place them in a quad so i can carry them all day with me

apply shadestick, paint whatever - lid colour, crease

apply light coat of wax on eyebrows and scramble for eyebrow stencil and stencil eyebrows on that takes a good 10 minutes

Blend eyeshadows - apply eyeshadow highlight/browbone

apply eyeliner

clean up the rest of my face with face wipes before foundation

apply foundation (if any)

apply mascara

add finishing touches to eyes

if i use blush/illuminating powder/skinfinish it would be now

grab tinted lip conditioner for morning, pick out lipglass/lipstick to wear later on in the day

see if everything is blended and even

do my hair ( if its down i go for the wavy look with straight in the front, and if its pulled up i do a very high pony tail and a faux fall )

and thats my day..

takes me 1.5 hours to get ready but if im rushing i can do it in a hour

Hmm. My face is a little high maintenance.

1) Wash face (Pond's Cold Cream or some Nivea one)
2) Serum under eyes (Eye Bright Serum from cellularskinrx.com. HG!)
3) Moisturize after a few minutes (Olay Complete w/ SPF 15 for sensitive skin)
4) Tinted moisturizer (Revlon Age-Defying Light Makeup)
5) Mineral powder (Jane Iredale PurePressed)
6) Blush (Milani usually)
7) Concealer under eyes, on spots, and on my blotchy eyelids (MAC Moisturecover)
8) Eyeshadow (usually just a shimmery neutral to even and brighten eyelids)
9) Upper lashes tightlined with Blacktrack Fluidline
10 ) Curl lashes and mascara (Max Factor Lash Lift)
11) Lip balm (Neutrogena)

Only takes about 10-15 minutes though.

awww...i love this!

Glad to have read some of yours, here's mine:


Regimen
- Use astringent to clean pores deep
- Cleanse with Velocity [rarely]
- Wash with Clean & Clear Morning Burst
- Exfoliate with Lancome Pure Focus or Clinique Scrub [sometimes]
- Mask it up with MaryKay Revitalizing Mask or Grape Seed [evenings]
- Turn the water on full COLD now to tighten my pores, since they've
been opened by warm/hot water thatll just age my skin!
- Wipe face with Dr. Brandt Poreless Skin Tone
- BareEscentuals Rever Upper or Argan Oil
- MAC Lip Conditioner
- Sweet Lips lip liner
- MAC Lipglass or Sweet Talk [when its not this cold!]
- J'adore, Pink Sugar, Envy Me, Evidence, YSL or etc perfume

*grabs slingback and walks to class*

Oops I forgot. I dont wear mascara on the daily - i feel like its a hassle to have to remove it EVERYDAY. Same goes for eyeliner. Unless I wake up in time to get dolled up

 

[Killer Queen]

1. Shower (Wash Face in Shower)
2. Moisturise
3. Mascara

DONE!

 

[swaly]

+ aveeno scrub.
+ rinse cold, if my skin is refusing to wake up.
+ oil of olay moisturizer––it was recommended by a dermatologist for me as the mildest lotion with spf protection, and it's also one of the only ones that doesn't make me feel greasy.
+ true match foundation.
+ MAC blot powder in medium/dark.
+ MAC mineralize skinfinish in naked you or stereo rose (petticoat just makes me look like a prostitute...seriously) on the apples of my cheeks, bridge of nose, forehead.
+ any ridiculously bright eyeshadow.
+ MAC fluidline in blue peep or royal wink, or black powerpoint pencil.
+ MAC lipstick in myth...or tutti dolce's lipgloss in mango sorbetto...usually something super super glossy or super super nude and pale.
+ at night, MAC's eye makeup remover and cleanse-off oil, then olay lotion.

 

[lara]

1 - shower, wash face and scrub if needed.
2 - apply face moisturiser and eye creme.
3 - groom and set eyebrows, fill with Espresso.
4 - curl lashes, apply Bad Gal Lash mascara.
5 - apply tinted lip conditioner.
5 - pull hair back into a loose ponytail as I go out the door.

I'm a pretty low-key gal. Make-up is a special occasion thing for me now, I don't have the time or energy to do a full face on myself.

I think I have make-up burnout, the last thing I want to do is do it on myself. It feels too much like work.

[Cruella]

1. Shower

4. Apply teeny bit of Green Cream Level 3 around eyes & mouth
5. Apply lipbalm
6. Do hair (takes 2 seconds since it is so short)

8. Apply shadow(s), liner, curl lashes, apply mascara (Maybelline Lash Stylist is the current fave)
9. Pure Luxe Cream Eraser in What Red is dabbed around my nose & any reddish areas
10. Pure Luxe mineral foundation
11. Pure Luxe You Glow, Girl! (kinda like BE Mineral Veil)
12. Lipstick or gloss
13. Blush (my go-to blush is MAC Coygirl, but it depends on my lipcolor)

 

[astronaut]

1. Cleanser: Wash face with whichever cleanser I feel like (I have lots!)
2. Moisterize: with Cosmedicine Mattifier
3. Conceal: acne scars with Everyday Minerals concealor, sometimes in green if I have really red pimples
4. Foundation: Buff on Everyday Minerals Foundation in Light shade in either the matte or normal formula (whichever I feel like)
5. Blush: (sometimes) using Everyday Minerals in either Siesta or Apple (usually Siesta because it's my fav)
6. Bronzer: Define with Everyday Minerals Everyday Bronzer
7. Powder: Everyday Minerals Finishing Dust
8. Prime: Prime eyes with Too Faced Herbal Eye Concealor
9. Base Shadow: I usually use a shade of shadow over the lid. Most likely light colour. (Ulta, Too Faced, Urban Decay, Wild & Crazy, Lancome, or MAC)
10. Define Shadow: Another shade of shadow to define the eyes. Most likely darker colour. (Ulta, Too Faced, Urban Decay, Wild & Crazy, Lancome, or MAC)
11. Sometimes I'll add a third colour of shadow when I really have time and want to. This happens rarely. My eyes suck and are hard to do cool eye makeup with

They have limitations
12. Eyeliner: Clinique Eye Defining Liquid Liner in Black
13. Mascara: As of right now I'm using drugstore mascara Loreal Volume Shocking in Black. I'm going to use something else once it runs out. Not sure what since I'm not too picky/educated on mascara. I have puney lashes so there's not much anything can do.
14. Lipstick: A neutral shade (MAC or Lancome) or Lip Gloss (Philosophy)

Done lol. It takes me about 15-30 minutes each morning...
