...beauty basics

i officially have the benefit buzz. finding the right facial regimen has been an ongoing nighmare for me, but i think i found my match in benefit's skin care line. they smell absolutely amazing, do wonders for my skin and the cute whimsical bottles are totally swoon worthy!

{1} refined finish facial polish - the scrub contains natural clay & seaweed extract rich in minerals, nutrients & sugars. the formula is a pearlish white cream with tiny exfoliating grains that i like to leave on anwhere from 10-30 minutes. my skin feels silky smooth and smells amazing when i wash it off! 

i use three times a week. $22

{2} total moisture facial cream - this works amazingly as a nighttime moisturizer to rejuvenate the skin. it will be perfect in the cooler, drier months when my skin needs the extra moisture. 

i use when skin feels too dry. $38

{3} triple performing facial emulsion - this is a light, oil-free moisturiser with tri-radiance complex (hydrating.) added benefit (no pun intended!) it is SPF 15 PA++. this is an ABSOLUTE must have!

i use once a day. $28

{4} foamingly clean facial wash - this stuff is amazing! believe me, i have tried more face washes than should be humanly possible and this one kicks all the others to the curb. the creamy pearlescent cleanser feels so smooth on the skin and does an amazing job of removing impurities. i have been using it for a little over a month and have seen dramatic changes in the color and smoothness of my skin.

i use twice daily. $21
