Even Beauty Routines Get the Blues: My Current One Does, Anyway (in the Absolute Best Way)

As Type A as I am -- and I admit, I'm pretty Type A -- I somehow never transfer this to my beauty routine. I think it's because I'm constantly adding new products into the rotation with tried and true faves, so there isn't necessarily a rhyme or reason to what products I'm using. I'm always so drawn to people's Instagram posts featuring products of specific colors, but I just don't seem to BE one of those people.

My 5 Favorite Beauty Products

I have one burning question for every person I interview in the beauty industry:

What are your 5 favorite beauty products?

I realized lately that I have never answered this question myself! And, I must admit, picking only 5 is extremely difficult. But, lo and behold, I present my 5 favorite beauty products for you.

Bonne Bell Lip Smackers
Maybe you'll think I'm acting like a tween for liking these. But I don't care how old I get, or how many lip balms I try ... these are the absolute best! I've been known to buy out the supply of Lip Smackers at Target, to keep them in every purse and every room of my apartment, to recommend them to every single person who asks me about lip balm. It's difficult for me to pick a favorite flavor, but if hard pressed, I would say Watermelon ... although Vanilla is pretty tasty, too. I love the myriad flavors, and I love that they keep my lips moisturized better than any other balm I've tried. Ever.

Toweling Off: Garnier The Refreshing Remover Cleansing Towelettes

Does anyone actually enjoy washing their faces at night? It's such a hassle -- when all you want to do is flop into bed, you have to spend extra time using makeup remover, cleanser, masks. Ugh. So when I came across the Garnier Nutritioniste The Refreshing Remover Cleansing Towelettes, I was more than a little skeptical. How could a single towelette clear my face entirely of all the makeup I'd worn and the impurities I'd collected in my skin throughout the day? There was no way, I thought.

Move Over, Pantene: Garnier Fructis to the Rescue!

You know what I am seriously in love with right now? Shiny, silky, HEALTHY hair. And while I've tried virtually every product on the market to make my locks glisten with the best of 'em, my tresses always seem to come up short. Pomades are too waxy, serums are too greasy, and most shine-enducing shampoos and conditioners leave my locks looking and feeling pretty darn lackluster. And forget straightening irons -- no added shine seems to radiate from them, no matter how heated they become! But then I happened upon Garnier Fructis Sleek & Shine Fortifying Cream Conditioner.
