Beauty Topics: Hair Loss.


Every time you experience shedding from your hair you're experiencing hair loss. Hair loss is not a topic a lot of people like to talk about or acknowledge. It's fairly common to experience shedding because we all experience it one way or another. Yes, even men experience hair shedding. It's also important to pay attention to how much hair you lose during shedding.

Some of the causes of hair loss are poor nutrition, an underlying condition, hair treatments, medications you're taking, stress, and genetics. There are many ways you can avoid hair loss in women. Try to avoid using chemical treatments to your hair, overusing heat, keep your stress under control, change your diet by eating a more healthier and balanced meal, take some vitamins or supplements, and make sure to regularly wash and condition your hair.

If you ever feel like you're experiencing a lot of shedding or you begin to notice you are losing hair in patches then it's best to contact a doctor. While there may not be a cure for permanent hair loss a doctor can help you find ways to slow down or even hide your hair loss.

My Updated Skin Care Routine.

I wanted to do an Updated Skin Care Routine. Previously before I was using and rotating among a lot of products. Some products from my older routine are products that I still continue to use. If you wanted to check out my original skin care routine then be sure to click here.

When trying to find products for your own personal skin care routine it's important to know what your skin type is, what your skin concerns are, that it fits your lifestyle, and remember it's all about trial and error.

My Personal Skin Care Tips:

  • Try not to touch your face so much.
  • Make sure you drink plenty of water.
  • Never go to sleep with your makeup on.
  • Make sure to use sun protection regularly.
  • Be sure to regularly change and clean your pillowcases.


  • My Skin Type: Normal and Combination



    Neutrogena Oil-Free Acne Wash Pink Grapefruit Facial Cleanser

    Clarisonic Plus Sonic Skin Cleansing System

    Clean & Clear Morning Burst Morning Glow Moisturizer
    Eucerin Calming Creme Daily Moisturizer

    Sephora Waterproof Eye Makeup Remover
    CVS Cleansing & Makeup Remover Towelettes

    Not photographed is the Clean & Clear Persa-Gel 10 Acne Medication.

    My Full Face Routine.

    I feel like every year the way I apply my face or my face routine is changing. For the past few months I've been doing the same face routine and I'm pretty sure this will be the routine that I do for the next couple years though.

    The point of this post is to share how I do my full face routine. This is basically what I use every single time I wear makeup. The blush, highlighter, and sometimes the contour shade are the only products that changes or varies depending on the look I'm wearing for the day. The tool or brush I use to apply my blush may also vary depending on the type of blush I use.



    Be sure to watch the video to see how I do my full face routine!

    Haul/Swatches: theBalm Nude'tude Palette.

    Last month HauteLook was having a theBalm sale and this was my first time seeing this brand on the website. The discount available was such a great deal that I of course had to place an order for something.

    To my surprise they had the new Nude'tude Eyeshadow Palette up for sale. I've been kind of wanting it since I seen Danielle of Bloomin' Beauty had a post featuring this palette. Plus it was 50% off the retail price!


    Description: These amazing palettes consist of 12 beautiful shades that make wearing nudes fun! These satiny smooth colors can be applied naturally ‘i.e. let me slip into something more comfortable” or beautifully layered. The wide range of naked neutrals gives you light highlighters as well as brazen bold shades that work to add definition and emphasis. Nude’Tude allows you to dramatically dress up your eyes (if nothing else)!

    Retail Price: $36.00 - I was able to get it for $18.00 from HauteLook though.


    Be sure to watch the video for comparisons to other nude and neutral palettes!



    Here are swatches of the theBalm Nude'tude Palette!



    Do you own the Nude'Tude palette? Planning to buy? Thoughts?
