My Morning Beauty Routine

This is a series called -  "Morning BEAUTY Routine" - it's all about what YOU put on your face every morning.  I, (Jen Ramos) featured myself in the first one, which you can read here.  So...today we have Tina from the beautiful blog, Life in Sketch.  This is a great way to learn about beauty products others are using & what they think of them!

Hi Everyone - happy 4th!!!! Tina here - while Jen is on vacation - I'm sharing my Morning Beauty Routine! I'm excited to be sharing my morning beauty routine with you today. I'm always on the go, so I like to keep it simple. I never wear a lot of makeup but when I started to write this post for Jen I realized I use more beauty products than I thought! The key for me is to feel pretty, and comfortable, without feeling like I just stepped out of a photo shoot.

Here's what I use:


Keihl's Ultra Facial Cleanser: I start every morning my washing my face with this Keihl's Ultra face wash. I've tried many facial cleansers in the past and many price ranges and this is the one that I feel nourishes my face and doesn't leave it too dry. I think it's because of the vitamin e and avocado oil. I also love that it's not too expensive ($10)!

Origins Ginzing Eye Cream: I'm an early riser but that doesn't mean I'm not tired in the morning! It takes me a little while to wake up and get my day started and this Ginzing eye cream gives me a little boost in the morning. It has a coffee bean and ginseng, so it really is caffeine for your eyes.

Neutrogena Healthy Defense Liquid Moisturizer with SPF: I've noticed that my face is the most sensitive to sunlight. I can sit in the sun for hours and my arms, legs and shoulders are never affected by sunlight, but my face is a whole different story. Neutrogena healthy defense liquid moisturizer combines the SPF in it's moisturizer so I can skip the extra step of putting on sunscreen.

Smith's Rosebud Salve: Smith's is my little morning luxury! The rosebud flavor is subtle but soothing. It also gives me a little sheen without having to worry about lipstick when I'm on the go.

Bare Minerals Warmth Bronzer: I don't like wearing a ton of makeup, especially in the morning. This Bare Minerals bronzer is perfect for my skin, it gives my cheekbones a little color without feeling like I'm really wearing makeup.

Sephora Retractable Waterproof Eyeliner: Eyeliner is the one thing I never leave the house without. I feel like it makes me look "put together" and it takes seconds to put on. The rectractable waterproof eyeliner goes on smooth and I don't have to worry about smudges during the day.

Bare Minerals Lash Domination Mascara: I recently started using mascara on a regular basis. In the past I would only apply mascara at big events, or a night out but this mascara by Bare Minerals makes my lashes look so long - I love it! Like the eyeliner, it's quick to put on and requires no effort. Obviously my beauty routine is all about efficiently and simplicity!
