I like to use a cream or oil-based cleanser to take off my makeup before washing my face. I’m currently using POND’S Cold Cream Cleanser. Typically, night time is when I will exfoliate. I get a lot of texture in my T-zone on account of having large pores, so I do gently exfoliate every night; not everyone needs to. I still use my Milky Jelly Cleanser, but this time with an facial sponge. 2: TONING -- My toning steps stay the same. 3: MOISTURIZE -- The only thing that changes is my final moisturizer. I use Clinique’s Turnaround Overnight moisturizer. It’s more heavyweight while keeping my oil levels balanced (I have VERY oily skin) while I sleep. During times that I feel my skin needs a little extra love (usually closer to when I get my period, when I have minor breakouts,) I’ll skip the moisturizer and opt for a dry oil. Dry oils are nourishing and moisturizing without the greasiness of a regular oil, and they won’t clog your pores! https://static1.squarespace.com/static/5c5a6b8fda50d339a0dcf700/t/5c796f82ee6eb02170bad202/1551462297733/IMG_4804_Facetune_28-02-2019-20-57-42.jpg Beauty - My 2019 Skincare Routine: Revised & Kind Of Simplified - MORNING ROUTINE When I wake up in the morning, 9 times out of 10, my face is puffy. My eyelids mostly, but also my under eye area and sometimes even my nose (weird, I know.) That being said, I rub an ice cube all over my face until the entire thing is melted to depuff. And it usually helps wake me up. 1: CLEANSING -- To prepare my skin for cleansing, I dampen my face with a steaming hot facial towel for a minute or so. Now, for products: I use Glossier’s Milky Jelly Facial Cleanser. This doesn’t foam or sud, I just work it all over my face with my fingertips in circular motions and remove it with the same face towel I used previously. Rinse the towel after, of course. 2: TONING -- After my skin is air dried, I apply Glossier’s Solution (not sponsored lol) all over my face and neck with a cotton round. This isn’t as much of a toner as it is a chemical exfoliant, but it works just the same. On the nights that I stay with my boyfriend and don’t have my skin products with me, I use his Thayers Alcohol-free Rose Water Witch Hazel and it works just as well. I’m also the one that picked it out so it counts here. 3: MOISTURIZE -- After my toner has set in and my face feels dry again, I’ll use another cotton round to apply a layer of Rose Flower Water from The Spice House. And after this dries, I apply a layer of Hawaiian Moon Aloe Cream. This is a very lightweight, gel-like cream that I also use all over my body before applying a heavier moisturizer. I finish with Clinique’s Even Better Skin Tone Correcting Moisturizer, focusing on my T-zone and under eyes. I moisturize my lips with Glossier Balm Dotcom or Vaseline. https://www.thecoolestwomanyouknow.com/beauty/2019/3/18/the-store-bought-and-diy-face-masks-that-have-never-failed-me monthly 0.5 2019-06-16 https://static1.squarespace.com/static/5c5a6b8fda50d339a0dcf700/t/5c9169dae5e5f04c49b7db6b/1553034312066/IMG_5265_Facetune_18-03-2019-22-49-29.jpg Beauty - The Store Bought & DIY Face Masks That Have Never Failed Me - Store-Bought MAsks GLOSSIER MEGA GREENS GALAXY PACK: for detoxing This is a great detoxifying mask that I use on a regular basis; one to two times a week to keep my oil levels balanced. SHEA MOISTURE AFRICAN BLACK SOAP CLARIFYING MUD MASK: for detoxing and treating breakouts I tend to breakout when I sleep with my makeup on, near the start of my period, or when I skip out on my usual routine. This mask is great for restoring my skin when I haven’t been so nice to it. AZTEC SECRET INDIAN HEALING CLAY: for basically everything I know everyone knows about this one, reasonably so. My favorite part about this clay mask is that it comes dry, so the wet properties that you add to it are completely up to you, depending on what you want it to do for your skin. I like to add apple cider vinegar if I want to tone, and water and honey if I want to moisturize. https://static1.squarespace.com/static/5c5a6b8fda50d339a0dcf700/t/5c916a18ee6eb01d6880487d/1553033758084/honey_and_cinnamon.jpeg Beauty - The Store Bought & DIY Face Masks That Have Never Failed Me - DIY mask THE BURNING MASK: for toning, improving acne scars, and minimizing pores This is one that I discovered a few years ago that sounded sketchy to me when I first read it, but I tried it after some research and now it’s one of my favorites. It consists of: Apple cider vinegar (1 TSP) -- a natural toner and astringent Lemon (1 TSP) -- antibacterial and vitamin C for dewrinkling Cinnamon (1 TSP) -- antibacterial Honey (1 TSP) -- anti inflammatory and moisturizing *for sensitive skin, add more honey and less ACV* Apply the mixture all over your face, leaving a good amount of space around your eyes. The burning/tingling sensation lasts for a few minutes; it will subside. After 20/30 minutes, rinse off with warm water. It is normal to experience some redness immediately after, but that will quickly be soothed away with any moisturizer that is applied afterwards. https://www.thecoolestwomanyouknow.com/beauty/2020/3/4/3g4l507zha67g2x1e4kql60vjk5zd9 monthly 0.5 2020-03-22 https://static1.squarespace.com/static/5c5a6b8fda50d339a0dcf700/t/5e60366a3d879f708246da67/1583363722907/bleached%2Beyebrows.jpg Beauty - The Beauty Trends That Felt Like Both The Beginning And End Of An Era https://static1.squarespace.com/static/5c5a6b8fda50d339a0dcf700/t/5e6037daf755fe73e4a4dd6f/1583364067195/shag.jpeg Beauty - The Beauty Trends That Felt Like Both The Beginning And End Of An Era https://static1.squarespace.com/static/5c5a6b8fda50d339a0dcf700/t/5e603929d206ca0ff974d31c/1583364397739/paddedheadband.jpg Beauty - The Beauty Trends That Felt Like Both The Beginning And End Of An Era https://static1.squarespace.com/static/5c5a6b8fda50d339a0dcf700/t/5e603873854ab96cadac2dab/1583364216924/skin.jpg Beauty - The Beauty Trends That Felt Like Both The Beginning And End Of An Era https://www.thecoolestwomanyouknow.com/beauty/category/Beauty monthly 0.5 https://www.thecoolestwomanyouknow.com/beauty/category/Playlist monthly 0.5 https://www.thecoolestwomanyouknow.com/beauty/category/Style monthly 0.5 https://www.thecoolestwomanyouknow.com/beauty/tag/shea+moisture monthly 0.5 https://www.thecoolestwomanyouknow.com/beauty/tag/cinnamon monthly 0.5 https://www.thecoolestwomanyouknow.com/beauty/tag/beauty monthly 0.5 https://www.thecoolestwomanyouknow.com/beauty/tag/skincare monthly 0.5 https://www.thecoolestwomanyouknow.com/beauty/tag/kincare monthly 0.5 https://www.thecoolestwomanyouknow.com/beauty/tag/skin monthly 0.5 https://www.thecoolestwomanyouknow.com/beauty/tag/diy+masks monthly 0.5 https://www.thecoolestwomanyouknow.com/beauty/tag/oily+skin monthly 0.5 https://www.thecoolestwomanyouknow.com/beauty/tag/blemish+treating+masks monthly 0.5 https://www.thecoolestwomanyouknow.com/beauty/tag/routine monthly 0.5 https://www.thecoolestwomanyouknow.com/beauty/tag/best+face+masks monthly 0.5 https://www.thecoolestwomanyouknow.com/beauty/tag/morningroutine monthly 0.5 https://www.thecoolestwomanyouknow.com/beauty/tag/review monthly 0.5 https://www.thecoolestwomanyouknow.com/beauty/tag/honey monthly 0.5 https://www.thecoolestwomanyouknow.com/beauty/tag/african+black+soap monthly 0.5 https://www.thecoolestwomanyouknow.com/beauty/tag/glossier+face+mask+review monthly 0.5 https://www.thecoolestwomanyouknow.com/beauty/tag/galaxy+greens+pack monthly 0.5 https://www.thecoolestwomanyouknow.com/beauty/tag/clarifying monthly 0.5 https://www.thecoolestwomanyouknow.com/beauty/tag/glossier monthly 0.5 https://www.thecoolestwomanyouknow.com/beauty/tag/face+masks monthly 0.5 https://www.thecoolestwomanyouknow.com/beauty/tag/the+burning+masks monthly 0.5 https://www.thecoolestwomanyouknow.com/beauty/tag/store+bought+face+masks monthly 0.5 https://www.thecoolestwomanyouknow.com/beauty/tag/glossier+face+mask monthly 0.5 https://www.thecoolestwomanyouknow.com/beauty/tag/skincareroutine monthly 0.5 https://www.thecoolestwomanyouknow.com/beauty/tag/easy+diy+masks monthly 0.5 https://www.thecoolestwomanyouknow.com/beauty/tag/nightroutine monthly 0.5 https://www.thecoolestwomanyouknow.com/beauty/tag/skincare+routine monthly 0.5 https://www.thecoolestwomanyouknow.com/style daily 0.75 2021-05-06 https://www.thecoolestwomanyouknow.com/style/2019/3/5/7-trends-that-i-gathered-from-attending-nyfw-fall-2019-via-instagram-stories monthly 0.5 2019-06-16 https://static1.squarespace.com/static/5c5a6b8fda50d339a0dcf700/t/5c7f0388eef1a17d906f3588/1551827857528/IMG_4333+%281%29.jpg style - 7 Trends That I Gathered From Attending NYFW Fall 2019 Via Instagram Stories - OVERSIZED SUITS — WITH A BELTED WAIST 100% can get behind this one as I had been waiting to gain the courage to wear my mother’s size 10 Ann Taylor suits that she stores in my closet. This style is very effortless while remaining sophisticated and sexy. https://static1.squarespace.com/static/5c5a6b8fda50d339a0dcf700/t/5c7f03510d9297bf5cb971b4/1551827804594/IMG_4336.jpg style - 7 Trends That I Gathered From Attending NYFW Fall 2019 Via Instagram Stories - MONOCHROMATIC EYE THERAPY Monochrome has always been around when it comes to neutrals, but this season has been flooded with color. To be very specific, I saw a handful of turtlenecks paired either with matching dresses or sweaters overtop. A very big fan. https://static1.squarespace.com/static/5c5a6b8fda50d339a0dcf700/t/5c7f036cec212db11996dfcd/1551827824151/IMG_4332.jpg style - 7 Trends That I Gathered From Attending NYFW Fall 2019 Via Instagram Stories - RUFFLES, SOUR CREAM & CHEDDAR Some pretty intense Victorian vibes were spotted on multiples runways. A lot of collars, sleeves, and layers in skirts and dresses. Kind of mad that no one was carrying a feather quill. https://static1.squarespace.com/static/5c5a6b8fda50d339a0dcf700/t/5c7f0340c830252df61977d4/1551827783753/IMG_4337.jpg style - 7 Trends That I Gathered From Attending NYFW Fall 2019 Via Instagram Stories - TIE DYE, MINUS THE FINGERNAIL STAINS I was reasonably surprised and overcome with nostalgia (I think that’s the point being made here) when I saw tie dye appearing on the bodies of the models shifting past the phone cameras held by the front-rowers this season. https://static1.squarespace.com/static/5c5a6b8fda50d339a0dcf700/t/5c7f0376ee6eb01606452dbc/1551827835721/IMG_4335.jpg style - 7 Trends That I Gathered From Attending NYFW Fall 2019 Via Instagram Stories - SEQUINS AND OTHER SHINY THINGS Another surprising one; sequins, glitter, and metallics all made very 80’s-esque cameos. Basically everyone looked like a disco ball. https://static1.squarespace.com/static/5c5a6b8fda50d339a0dcf700/t/5c7f0243f9619a3a48bc51a4/1551827543144/IMG_4331.jpg style - 7 Trends That I Gathered From Attending NYFW Fall 2019 Via Instagram Stories - FRINGE (NOT THE HAIRCUT) I believe the abundance of fringe on the runways this season stemmed from the western-inspired styles that made a comeback in the last few months -- it all started with the cowboy boots gradually appearing on Instagram timeline feet back in the summer time. https://static1.squarespace.com/static/5c5a6b8fda50d339a0dcf700/t/5c7f039b6e9a7f63ce10edf3/1551827871481/ style - 7 Trends That I Gathered From Attending NYFW Fall 2019 Via Instagram Stories - HEAVY KNITS, SPECIFICALLY PONCHOS Honestly, I’m very seriously considering digging up the pink pancho from Macy’s that I wore in the 4th grade. I have some new cowboy boots to sport with it as well, so things are looking up for me, as I don’t think I’m gonna have to shop much to keep up this season. https://www.thecoolestwomanyouknow.com/style/2019/3/18/skinny-jeans-have-died-and-i-will-not-be-attending-the-funeral-1 monthly 0.5 2019-06-16 https://static1.squarespace.com/static/5c5a6b8fda50d339a0dcf700/t/5c90675df9619a6b93ce89ad/1552967956100/IMG_5205.png style - Skinny Jeans Have Died And I Will Not Be Attending The Funeral - The Boyfriend Jean Aaaalso not that recent, but a pair of very baggy jeans started to come in handy for me more than I expected. I don’t even wear the “boyfriend style” jeans made for women as much as I wear plain old men’s Levi’s from the thrift. https://static1.squarespace.com/static/5c5a6b8fda50d339a0dcf700/t/5c90679ba4222fe60cc84585/1552968007946/IMG_5207.png style - Skinny Jeans Have Died And I Will Not Be Attending The Funeral - The (Very) Wide Leg My new found love. I was always scared that these wouldn’t be flattering, but with a high-cut waist and a short heel, they make my legs look a million miles long. They’re also super comfy and won’t make your legs hot in the summertime! https://static1.squarespace.com/static/5c5a6b8fda50d339a0dcf700/t/5c906746971a186e67899b34/1552967931878/IMG_5204.png style - Skinny Jeans Have Died And I Will Not Be Attending The Funeral - The Mom Jean Ok, this one is first because it’s not that recent, lol. These came back into style when American Apparel was in big business and now it’s more than common. So, here I am in my favorite pair of vintage Levi’s from the 80’s. https://static1.squarespace.com/static/5c5a6b8fda50d339a0dcf700/t/5c9067839b747a6c2b90fdfd/1552967982850/IMG_5206.png style - Skinny Jeans Have Died And I Will Not Be Attending The Funeral - The Flare I’m sure a lot of people are going to disagree with this, but I’ve always loved flared jeans. They look great with heels (or sneakers as pictured) and have the same shaping effect that skinny fit jeans do, but feel a lot more experimental in terms of the silhouette of your outfit. https://www.thecoolestwomanyouknow.com/style/simple-wardrobe-staples-for-the-semi-experimental-dresser monthly 0.5 2019-06-16 https://static1.squarespace.com/static/5c5a6b8fda50d339a0dcf700/t/5caa7876971a182374befb6e/1554676151650/ style - Simple Wardrobe Staples For The Semi-Experimental Dresser - the ~fancy~ blouse Color and style/pattern is up to the dresser. White is easy -- you know, those cute white blouses that look like doilies. I’m also a sucker for a good silk button-up blouse. Something easy to put on when you need to dress up, or just when you’re feelin’ it. https://static1.squarespace.com/static/5c5a6b8fda50d339a0dcf700/t/5caa7afb71c10b8e30ca4e44/1554676525810/Screenshot+2019-04-07+at+5.23.22+PM.png style - Simple Wardrobe Staples For The Semi-Experimental Dresser - the cowboy boots Cowboy boots are amazing and I encourage everyone to try at least *some* version of a western-style boot. With a dress? Adorable. Jeans and a t-shirt or sweater, easy. They also have the same fun click-clack as a high hell does without the constant fear of toppling over. https://static1.squarespace.com/static/5c5a6b8fda50d339a0dcf700/t/5caa7c8d53450a1c3dc4ff91/1554677029333/Screenshot+2019-04-07+at+5.40.59+PM.png style - Simple Wardrobe Staples For The Semi-Experimental Dresser - the good jeans Good! Quality! Jeans! Simply cannot be beat. Obviously we all have more than one pair, so I like to make sure I have one form fitting and one more loose, “mom,” or “boyfriend” fit. It’s always good to start off with a classic blue jean wash. https://static1.squarespace.com/static/5c5a6b8fda50d339a0dcf700/t/5caa798aeef1a19e5262b0d7/1554676216067/Screenshot+2019-04-07+at+5.20.55+PM.png style - Simple Wardrobe Staples For The Semi-Experimental Dresser - the blazer I have some fitted and some over-sized; blazers are good for layering. They’re perfect for throwing over a dress in place of a light jacket, and for more androgynous looks: a t-shirt and jeans. Maybe throw a pair of cowboy boots in the mix… https://static1.squarespace.com/static/5c5a6b8fda50d339a0dcf700/t/5caa7b97652deac333a9fbe5/1554676679238/Screenshot+2019-04-07+at+5.36.26+PM.png style - Simple Wardrobe Staples For The Semi-Experimental Dresser - the cardigan Cardigans have made a comeback, and rightfully so. There are so many ways to wear one! I’m a big fan of the very 90’s-esque style of a cropped/mini cardigan worn as a top. Also love a good grandma moment with an oversized knit one. https://www.thecoolestwomanyouknow.com/style/2019/4/11/shopping-tips-to-live-by-from-a-self-taught-lifelong-thrifter monthly 0.5 2019-06-16 https://static1.squarespace.com/static/5c5a6b8fda50d339a0dcf700/5caf889f53450a2f912e673b/5caf88a97abced0001079988/1555007659720/Screenshot+2019-04-11+at+1.31.59+PM.png style -
