Hi guys!!! I know, it's been a VERY long time since I've written on my blog page, but I have been encouraged my many of you to start it back up again! There have been some changes in my life as of late, one of which is huge - moving to Jacksonville Florida with my husband and my son!! HUGE!! I was born and raised up North in New Jersey, so this is quite a big change for me, but I like it. Anywhoo....

I would like to start writing a post at least once a week, to update you all on what I'm loving at the moment. It'll be a little bit of everything....fashion, food, travel and of course beauty!

So.....what's in my "Beauty" Cabinet?? I was going to title this "What's in my Medicine Cabinet", but let's be real.... there is hardly ever and "medicine" in our cabinets, now is there? I must say, I run a pretty tight ship in my cabinet. I don't like it to be really cluttered and messy. I want to be able to quickly find what I need and get on with my routine. So without further ado, these are the products that are in it. Enjoy!

Top row:

Chantecaille Lip Potion - One of the best lip moisturizers on the market. It has Shea Butter, Sweet Almond and Macadamia Oil in it to really hydrate the lips
Sunday Riley Tidal Brightening Enzyme Water Cream - A beautiful lightweight water based cream that drenches your skin with two forms of Hyaluronic acid and Tamarind extract for visibly hydrated and plumped skin. Great for all skin types
Chantecaille Rose de Mail Cream - LOVE!! This is a gel based cream that has the Rose de Mai essence as well as Matrixyl 3000 a unique blend of peptides that helps to promote a more toned appearance and reduce the look of wrinkles. It also has Raspberry stem cell extract which is a major anti-oxidant and helps to sooth redness
Sara Haap Lip Scrub - Awesome for exfoliating your lips and it smells and tastes great.
Passionflower Extract - Natures form of Valium. Need I say more? You'll thank me later :-)
Chantecaille Gold Energizing Eye Recovery Mask - If you want your under eye area to look 20 years younger in 20 mins, this mask is for you! It has a 24 Karat Gold Serum rich in powerful components that re-plump and moisturize, leaving the delicate eye area looking smoothed, revitalized and radiant. Wonderful and great for travel

Second Row:

Chantecaille Stress Repair Concentrate - My absolute favorite eye cream. This eye cream is part of the Bio Lifting collection which is basically their "Botox in a Jar" line but a natural version of it. It contains an Anti-Wrinkle Hexapeptide that mimics the effects of Botox which soften the appearance of expression lines. It also has caffeine in it to help reduce any puffiness. You can also use this cream on your II lines, around the mouth area or any deep lines in the face. AMAZING!
Sunday Riley Luna Sleeping Night Oil - What can I say about this amazing blue oil....it's life changing. It's your Retinol treatment combined with botanical oils to help treat any fine lines, wrinkles, redness and pores without the nasty effects of Retinol.
Sunday Riley U.F.O. Ultra Clarifying Face Oil - Boy, this woman gets EVERYTHING right! If you struggle with acne or the occasional hormonal breakout, you need this oil in your life. It's super effective but very gentle on the skin. As with all of her products, I saw an immediate difference in my skin.
Clarins Extra-Firming Lip & Contour Balm - This is another amazing lip treatment. It literally smooths out any lines and wrinkles in the lips to give a more plump and even appearance.
Chantecaille Detox Clay Mask - Probably the best detox mask I have ever used. What I love most about it, is that it's not drying on the skin at all. You know how most clay masks get REALLY dry to where you feel like your face is going to crack into a million pieces??? Not this mask, it stays moist on the skin while it detoxifies which makes it suitable for all skin types. The Rosemary and Honey are both soothing and purifying

Bottom Row:

Kate Somerville True Lash Eye Makeup Remover - It's the very first item you seen next to the Rose Oil. As you can see, I am in desperate need of another one. This is a really gentle eye makeup remover that has a lash enhancing peptide in it to help grow your lashes. How genius is that!
Chantecaille Rose de Mai Face Oil - I just LOVE this oil. I use it everywhere that needs some extra TLC. Rose is a natural source of Vitamin C, super anti-oxidant, great for textured skin, and it's so soothing on the skin as well. You can mix it into your foundation, moisturizer, masks....anything for and extra boost of skin care treatment and hydration.
Chantecaille Retinol Intense+ - I switch between this and the Sunday Riley Luna Sleeping Night Oil. This treatment has the same sort of concept with it being a gentle night cream, but it's boosted with twice the amount of Retinol without being harsh on the skin. Lovely product.
Sunday Riley Good Genes - We all want to have good genes when it comes to our skin don't we? This treatment is remarkable. This is a straight up clarifying, line smoothing lactic acid treatment that's great for all skin types. It exfoliates, getting rid of pore-clogging dead skin cells, plumps the skin while filling in fine lines and wrinkles. It makes your skin look extremely radiant and with continued use, you will see a reduction in the appearance of those stubborn hyperpigmentation spots. Basically a miracle cream.
Sunday Riley Ceramic Slip Clay Cleanser - This cleanser deep cleans the skin while balancing the oil production in the skin, powered with pore-perfecting French green clay and Morrocan rhassoul clay. Yet, it's not drying to the skin whatsoever. A little tip: you can mix a few pumps of this with a couple pumps of the Good Genes to make an excellent deep cleansing, exfoliating and hydrating mask. How's that for a super mask!
Philosophy Purity Cleanser - This for me is what I use for my first cleanse. It takes off all of your makeup - even stubborn eye makeup without being drying. That's it - simple.
Dickinson's Witch Hazel Toner - Good old Dickinson's.... what can I say...it's a natural toner that for me gets rid of any residual stuff left over on my face from cleansing or maksing. Done

I hope you enjoyed seeing all that I have jammed into my Beauty Cabinet!! I hope that I have explained all of the products enough and hope that you will try some of them if you haven't already. Let me know if you have any questions or if you want to know more about a specific product. This way I can maybe feature it in it's own little post!
