Is anybody out there on the grind like me?

I very rarely watch tv nowadays.. but I have the season 1 of "How to make it in America" on my laptop . I watched it for the first time time last night and im hooked! I LOOOOVE it. Its so modern, easy to relate to, filled with art, fashion, passion and greatlooking men! + a good story line. Anywho, I was really bummed because I had heard that series was just a pilot and they werent going to mak any new seasons but I googled it and it said season 2 should start airing on June 24th 2011! Yay, 9 more daysss!!!! I hope it does =)

FAVORITE TONERS for oily skin.

1) NARS
"This clear toning lotion works by balancing the skin while adding essential moisture. It controls oil and visibly tightens pores with raspberry extract and imparts a healthy, polished glow. Botanicals including aloe and green tea condition and soothe skin."

My new favorite for sure. It work like a charm with my skin and really makes it feel fresh and perfected.



2) LUSH - POPULAR TONER
"Popular toner for normal to oily skin.
Tea Tree water is the one we recommend for oily skin, especially if it's leading to teenage spottiness. (Tea tree, or ti-tri as it's called in it's native Australia, is the most amazing multi-purpose first-aid item: scratches, spots, stings; you name it and ti-tri fixes it). Anyway, we use tea tree water in our toner to cleanse, soothe and clear blemishes. We add grapefruit water to tone and detoxify your skin and juniperberry to refresh and stimulate it, all leading to a happier, less congested state of affairs in the facial department. Juniper is said to refresh tired spirits too, so feel free to spray your face with it when you're feeling drowsy"

My all time favorite for years. my go to. my number 1 forever toner. I like this one because it has a spray effect that gives that hydrating evening skins oils feel but by just spritzing doesnt clean deep down.


3) CLARINS
"This alcohol-free lotion gently removes all traces of Cleansing Milk and stimulates and refreshes the skin while respecting its natural pH and moisture level. The skin is perfectly clean and ready for skin care products to be applied. "

I use this once in a while because I like to take breaks from my go tos just to shock it and keep my skin from getting to used to a product. the only thing was this one went reallly fast!

There is no possible way I could live without toning! I wash my face atleast 2x a day and that includes toning and moisturizing. I come across woman every single day that tell me they have oily skin and there looking for a foundation that will suit that but dont even moisturize! well hello first of all you NEEED to tone and you NEED to moisturize! Then I pretty much build them up with a prescription and it always contains one of these toners since MAC doesnt make one. we really should. Anywho, for nonbelievers THE BENEFITS OF TONING ARE:
* Remove dirt and makeup residue
* Complement the cleansing process
* Refine pores and tighten pores temporarily
* Make skin feel fresh and clean
* Remove excess oil from the skin
* Refresh tired complexion
* Whisk away impurities
* Reduce the appearance of fine lines
* Increase blood circulation
* Restore your skin’s natural pH balance
* Improve skin tone
* Reduce oil secretion
* Improve the elimination of toxins
* Speed up cell turnover
* Promote sloughing of dead skin cells

Goodluck to all you with your skin journeys, <3 a skinbuf or a skin product junkie whatever youd call it... xoxo
