Skin Care Steals!

So beauties with the economy today, we're all looking for ways to save money.  I decided to share a few skin care products that are affordable for the every day woman. Below are some of my skin care staples, check them out! 


So I found this facial mask at CVS and was totally shocked because this mask can also be found at Ulta. 
At Ulta it goes for only $4. I had to do my research because sometimes CVS gets stock of skin care products that shouldn't even be on their shelves. So I did and once I figured it was legit, I was all in. This facial mask removes dirt, oil and impurities in the skin. It leaves your skin feeling smooth and also dries out any breakouts you may have. 



This is a mild facial cleanser, which removes dirt and oil. It's soap-free & hypoallergenic and it won't clog pores. It's also dermatologist recommended, which I was actually told about this product by a dermatologist years ago and have been using it every since! I love this cleanser because though it's mild, it lathers on the skin and removes makeup flawlessly. It goes for about $10 for the 12 oz bottle. 

This facial scrub can be found at CVS, Walgreens, Target and many other affordable places. At CVS it's about $8. You should use this scrub once a week, after cleansing while your face is still damp after you've rinsed, you'll apply the scrub in a circular motion then completely rinse. I recommend using this once a week at night. This way you'll awake with brighten and refined skin. This product will lift dead skin cells, leaving your skin with a more even texture!

I hope this was helpful, though we all love buying lavish things for ourselves, it never hurts to save a little!

This nude Olcay Gulsen Two Slit number is classic, with a daring twist & this big Diana Ross hair is giving me LIFE! With Brian Atwood Labrea sandals & gold accessories to top the look off. Do you love it??

What a Beauty. . .

Sanaa Lathan is a fabulous actress, to say the least! We all loved her in the infamous "Love and Basketball". She was also great in "Something New" (one of my fav movies.) Playing versatile roles and setting examples for a high standard of class and beauty all over the world. I'd like to pay homage to her here on The Beauty Chronicles! We bow gracefully to you Sanaa Lathan.
