I got these polishes in a makeup swap and I just adore this combination. I like wearing the glitter polish on the ring finger to add a little extra something to the look. I also wore this combination for my New Year's Eve gathering I had at my apartment!

#2014BloggerChallenge - Favorite Books

Today is the third post in the #2014Blogger Challenge and today's topic is favorite book(s).

I choose multiple books that are a part of two book series that I love to read! They are two young adult/teen series that I highly recommend you read!

Pretty Little Liars! I have a few of the books in physical form and the rest are on my Kindle.

These books are about five girls: Ali, Hannah, Emily, Spencer, and Aria.

They are trying to figure out who killed their friend Ali and who is A.

The TV show is also a favorite of mine, which is on ABCFamily. 

The TV show is very different from the books but still stays true to the story of the book series.

L.A. Candy! This series is written by Lauren Conrad, who is well known for her role on The Hills and her clothing line at Kohls. This series  of six books (I have Infamous on my Kindle) follows a girl named Jane, who moves to Hollywood and eventually gets her own reality TV show, similar to Lauren Conrad. It follows her life as well as the lives of three other girls: Scarlett, Gaby, and Madison.

What is your favorite book(s)?

2014 Blogger Challenge: Skincare

*some links are affiliate links*

This post is going to be about my current skincare routine! I have a very basic routine when it comes to skincare and have just started to incorporate new products, such as oils and masks into my routine. I have been using the Ole Henriksen african red tea foaming cleanser as my face wash lately. It does a nice job at washing my face and helps wake me up in the morning when I am showering half asleep.  My current moisturizer is the clean & clear dual action moisturizer , which is great because it contains salicyclic acid to help treate and prevent acne, which we all know I don't have the best skin on the planet. Before I apply my moisturizer I have been using the Urban Decay B6 Vitamin-Infused Complexion Prep Spray, which hydrates and preps skin for makeup. I love it and can't wait to buy a full size!

Some new additions to my skincare routine are masks and oils. I got the Tarte Maracuja oil and Boscia Clarifying Detox mask as part of the Sephora Black Friday/Cyber Monday sale. To be honest, I am not a huge fan of the Maracuja oil. I haven't noticed a huge difference in my skin from using it for the past for month or so. The mask, however, it pulling all the zits and pimples from underneath my skin out. I have had a lot of breakouts but I love how this mask feels on my face and how my skin feels after I use it. I tend to use the mask twice a week. Lastly, I use the toner once and a while to help remove and leftover makeup. It also makes my skin feel refreshed.

I hope you have enjoyed this post and stay tune for topic three of the 2014 Blogger Challenge!
