As a doc student on a budget, I no longer can invest on high-end cosmetics such as my beloved
- M•A•C (Makeup Art Cosmetics) or
- O•P•I nail lacquers
Yet I don’t mind the beauty products that I find for less at CVS!
Latest Face Craze

I was in search of an eye makeup primer, and Neutrogena has these liquid shadows that already have it built-in with these neutral shades that make for a great *smoky eye* {Neutrogena Crease Proof Eye Shadow in Stay Golden 10 & Lasting Toupe 50} I already dig on Neutrogena products for their skin-protecting features, including their hypoallergenic eye products & SPFs!
Nail $ale

Of course, I can’t resist markdowns, especially on something I’m seeking anyway! {Milani Color Statement in Mint Crush} Close to Tiffany Blue

I’m all about the gold … These’ll top nails off! {Sally Hansen 8K Gold Hardener}
Good vibes to yours truly as I meet with my dissertation chair (head honcho professor of my committee) today!

Happy 3 Kings👑
The 🎅holiday🎅 season has brought me these 👛beauty💄 products that come in handy!

I started using the Rodan+Fields UnBlemish acne treatment system from my sister, who also gave me the Birchbox travel treats, including the facial sea salts ~ which, along with the towelettes, also from her, as well as the mud mask, were *refreshing* to *exfoliate* on my recent snow day off! The Nivea Creme and Neutrogena lip balm are great moisturizers. I’m grateful for the sleep mask too!

While I do my best to pack light and stay somewhat low maintenance while traveling, I admit that I must maintain a grain of vain!
Therefore, during my EP trip, I brought trial-sized travel-friendly products, including:
Also, I visited A’GACI at Ft. Bliss …

… and ended up with this!
My friend and I represented her husband’s UTEP school colors ~ orange and blue ~ and she got this cute hair-do too!

Check out how to have bow braids like hers here: How to Create a Diagonal Bow Braid tutorial.

Jessica Alba…
I’ve always been a fan since this action actress’ Dark Angel days! Now I admire her beyond rocking out on stage and screen, for her entrepreneurialship! When her Honest Collection hit shelves at Target almost two months ago, I had to try it!

Don’t y’all love how both the product and the packaging are good to our environment? Plus, proceeds go toward a good cause, too!

Due to the damage caused by chemicals in my hair, I also grabbed a bottle of Garnier Fructis Damage Eraser. I like the fragrance, as with all GF products. This actually reminds me of Pantene’s leave-in treatment, so far.

I go BANANAS for apples and coconut… for my hair!
Let’s feed our body, from the inside out.
As I’ve told you in my debut Beauty Tuesday Review, I prefer products that stimulate the senses, including scent!
Therefore, ridding of itch and irritation doesn’t have to smell like chemicals!
Before I lather up, I apply this to my hair…
While I say the Pretty Fit Way must practiced from the inside out, coconut oil
makes a great alternative in lieu of more fattening oils ~ WIMK
More Mane Management Tips from root to tip:
- Massage your head ~ to stimulate scalp for hair growth, as well as to soothe the brain for headache prevention (I swear by these, in particular from my student, a licensed massage therapist)
- Treat wet hair gently ~ no harsh brushing that would lead it to damage (I showed my shower combs in last week’s Beauty Tuesday segment)
- DON’T wash hair every single day ~ frequent washing can strip your hair from its natural oils
- DO wash hair after extended exposure outdoors ~ for allergy prevention (from mold and other muck in the air)
- Use Dry or Waterless Shampoo when water’s not available ~ to keep hair fresh (like my recommendation in my Beauty Tuesday debut)

Now that I’m doing Spring Cleaning during this Spring Break, I shall share my favorite beauty products, as well as a few reviews…
Since I love to stimulate my senses, I tend to stock up on stuff that is visually-appealing ~ you know, eye candy ~ and smells good to yours truly.

Matrix® Biolage Hydrathérapie & Smooththérapie
Biolage by Matrix® is my #1 brand of hair care because I feel like I’m in a spa whenever I use it! It’s a sweet treat for my hair since I always experience an enticing scent and a smoothing effect.

Pantene Pro-V & TRESemmé + Conair & Revlon
However, I also rely on TRESemmé and Pantene Pro-V styling products when using my Conair and Revlon hair appliances.

What’s in My Shower? More Pantene & Herbal Essences + Garnier Fructis

Are You Sure? Raise Your Arms!
I stash deodorant in my bathrooms and my bags, so I’m always ready to combat b.o.

N for SkiN Care: Neutrogena & Nivea Rock!
To treat my oily-dry combination skin, I need a variety of skin care products that treat acne and moisturize!

Neutrogena Skin-Clearing® w/ Microclear® Technology
Neutrogena Skin-Clearing® w/ Microclear® Technology

Hello Kitty for M•A•C & Forever 21 Limited Editions
Hello Kitty Happiness

Signature Fragrances for Each Season
These are just a few of my favorite fragrances, in rotation by season.
- Sephora Hello Kitty Pink Bow roller ball when on-the-go
- Victoria’s Secret Bombshell Summer Edition
- Coach Legacy for Fall
- VS Angel Gold for Winter

Sephora Fragrance Sampler mini vials come in handy for travel
My sample bottles, including from this Sephora Favorites Fragrance Sampler for Her and from VS, are the perfect size to fit into my array of purses!

More Sephora Fragrance Samplers
See how Sephora samples accumulate?

What’s in My Purse? Coach Handbags for Each Season + Bare Essentials I Don’t Leave Home Without
I should have enough scent samples to fill all of my handbags, including a couple of my classics and a couple of my seasonal
- Coach [counter-clockwise, from bottom right]: Madison Maggie Shoulder Bag in chocolate-doe/gold hardware with matching wristlet that I change out with larger bags, Poppy Denim Whipstich Hippie with matching wallet that has Legacy Stripes lining, Signature C Tote in tri-color, Poppy Pop C backpack in pastel/gold hardware
- Bath & Body Works® PocketBacs are in all of my bags
- As you already know, I also keep deodorant in handy
- A first-aid kit, or at least Neosporin and bandaids (like in this keychain container) aid in the event of a boo-boo
- My generous students have gifted me with other beauty needs worth mentioning: blush and eye shadow palette and manicure set from one plus Breast Cancer Awareness compact mirror from another!
- Miniature lotions and fragrances (such as those that appear above) ~ including this Juicy Cologne in Sprightly Sparkle from the Philippines ~ help my body smell nice
- Last but most definitely not least: gum freshens my breath, and floss picks are a must-have between meals!

Bath & Body Works® Aromatherapy & Fragrances to Get Through the Day
Certain scents are perfect for the senses at a specific time
- This B&BW® P.S. I Love You Spring Fling Lotion and Body Spray is great for the upcoming spring days and sunny rays!
- Orange for energy ~ such as B&BW® Orange Sapphire or Aromatherapy Energy with Orange + Ginger upon awaking
- Eucayptus for destressing ~ such as B&BW® Aromatherapy Stress when relieving anxiety [I also apply the aforementioned Vicks VapoRub to tense muslces]
- Jasmine for romance ~ such as B&BW® Night Blooming Jasmine or Aromatherapy Sensual with Jasmine + Vanilla at bedtime [I also use vanilla to relax, such as from the Summer Vanillas collection ~ Berry, Lemon and Coconut]
- Lavender for rest ~ such as B&BW® Aromatherapy Sleep with Lavender + Vanilla at bedtime
NOTE: None of these aforementioned rants and raves are endorsements; they all simply come from my own opinion [other similar product mentions appear in brackets].
