Basic Beauty

Since I don't blog about the makeup I wear very often or my skincare routine, I thought I would share a few essential items with you today.  For the most part, I don't wear a lot of makeup.  I find that it is really heavy when I wear anything more than some mascara, a little coverup to touch up some red spots, and a lipstick that matches my outfit.  Anything more than that makes me feel gross by the end of the day, especially if I have big plans.

As far as my skincare routine goes, I keep it pretty simple too.  I can't use anything too harsh on my face so I only have two products I use: Clinique's Mild Face Soap and Neutrogena's Grapefruit Wash.  Both do wonders for my skin!  I also need lots of moisture on both my face and hands.  For my face I just use Lubriderm, but for my hands I like to use the Ultra-Moisturizing Hand Cream from Crabtree and Evelyn.  I absolutely love the way it makes my hands feel!

So, that is about it for my beauty routine.  It is really easy and simple-- just the way I like it!
