Great Brush For Sensitive Skin
Since I have such sensitive skin I am always extremely careful with anything that I put on my face & I sincerely think that the less you use on your face (if you're sensitive) the better.
I won't go too in-depth on my skincare routine because I made an entire video on it which you can find HERE but I will say that I have used a face brush, or some kind of cleansing device, for as long as I can remember.
The first brush that I ever used was a little silicone bristle brush that would come attached to a Loreal face wash that I use to use way back in the day... I'm not even sure why I stopped using that little thing because it did such a good job at cleaning my skin... Oh, now I remember, it was because the Clarisonic came out and it was raved about all over youtube.
I bought the Clarisonic because back then my skin was a bit different than it is now, I could of probably used gasoline to clean my face back then and it wouldn't have irritated me. I had fairly normal skin, it wasn't sensitive to anything and it was no where near as dry as it is now (the good ol' days.)
I regret using the Clarisonic because I'm pretty sure that it made my skin take a turn for the worse, I also use to use tons of unnecessary products on my skin which definitely contributed to the fact. I know that this brush works for a lot of people and I'm not bashing it, I just think it was way to abrasive for my skin and after experimenting with the same kind of bristle brush recently I actually think I'm allergic to that kind of brush.
After I grew tired of using the Clarisonic and heard so many great reviews about the Foreo Luna I decided to purchase it and I fell in love once I tried it. I cannot say that it's the only thing that brought my skin back to normal because I've changed my routine drastically but I know for a fact it has definitely improved my skin.
If you have sensitive skin I 100% recommend that you stick to a brush or device that has silicone bristles, not only are they much more sanitary than regular bristle brushes but they are much, MUCH more gentle on the skin while still being effective.
With all of this said, I still recommend the Foreo and think it's an amazing brush but the price is a bit high and I have found another brush that works just the same, if not (dare I say) BETTER for a lot less.
Vanity Planet Reached out to me about a month and a half ago to try out their "Ultimate Skin Spa" I was very skeptical and kind of afraid to try it since it resembled the Clarisonic a little bit. I wasn't expecting much from the regular bristle brushes but I was curious about the silicone brush it came with, I wanted to see if it was comparable to my Foreo.
After a month and a half of using it everyday I honestly think it works the same as my Foreo, I actually prefer it a little more because the bristles are a tiny bit longer, thus, they are more flexible than the ones on the Foreo and can really get into every crevasse of your face. Also, the brush head spins so it basically does all of the work for you.
I tried the other brushes that came with the set and woke up the next say with a bit of a rash on my face... so I am convinced it's just me that is allergic to those types of brushes for some reason.
HOWEVER, since the silicone brush is so good I decided I wanted to talk about the product either way because even though I didn't like the other two brushes that came in the set, the entire set is still LESS THAN a quarter of the price of the Foreo Luna if you use my discount code & I genuinely think the silicone brush in this set is VERY comparable to the Foreo.

Spring Is Coming!
Dress: Here | Sandals: Here | Glasses: Ray-Ban | Watch: Here
I really do love fall but whenever March comes around I get so excited for spring... even though I was born in March (23rd) I don't really consider myself a spring child, spring is about color and vibrancy (the thought gives me a little bit of anxiety) but I appreciate the weather & the overall vibe that spring brings. Everyone seams a little bit happier, the days are a little brighter, the air is a bit more crisp.
It's definitely one of my favorite seasons (not that miami experiences anything other than summer) but you know what I mean... (Fall will always have my heart though.)
Rolling into spring in this little number. Sure it doesn't scream spring but let's walk before we run shall we? I paired this dress with some suede espadrille sandals from forever21.
I really love the back detail of this dress, simple but makes a statement. And I also have a hard time resisting dresses with slits. Oh & did I mention it's $10?
Glossier
This brand represents everything I believe in when it comes to beauty... less is more. Prior to discovering Glossier I use to have a ridiculous skincare routine. I was using products that were too abrasive on my very dry, very sensitive skin. I use to have slight eczema, a lot of redness and texture and ever since I simplified my skincare and beauty regimen my skin changed for the better.
I have a skincare routine which you can find HERE where I go in depth on all of the products I use during the day and at night & while it may still seem like a lot to some, it's nothing compared to what it use to be.
I use the milky jelly cleanser religiously now (more than I did when I made that video) and it's just one of those reliable cleansers that you put on when your skin has been freaking out & you know that this is what will bring it back to normal, it really does condition my skin & make it look and feel so healthy and plump.
I've also tried their haloscopes (video where I use them HERE) and lip balm which I absolutely love as well.
I am happy to say I am now a rep for Glossier, there's nothing better than representing a company that you truly, 100% believe in... I would never represent a brand if I felt otherwise but you know what I mean! It's just so much easier to talk about products that you've tried for extended periods of time & continuously genuinely love.

I really can't stay away from anything khaki now adays ( it's a little bit of a problem) , let alone anything off-the-shoulder. I love how long this sweater is, I can wear it with even the most unflattering baggy boyfriend jeans and it'll just make everything look a bit more put together.
