In pursuit of great boots...

As we approach the holidays, and the cold season, my shopping agenda focuses around finding a great pair of boots.

Last year, I purchased a pair from Madewell and I have worn them to death (pictured below).  

This year, I looked for a leather pair instead of my regular suede pair to switch it up.  

I do not like to invest in cheaply made shoes, but I also do not have $600 to throw around on footwear.  I stumbled upon this pair and fell in love! They are arriving next week and I am so excited to try them!

Beauty Obsession: Glossier

I am totally addicted to trying new beauty products.  I love getting a new package in the mail, and I enjoy researching new products to fit my beauty needs.  I recently stumbled upon Glossier, a make up company started by Emily Weiss.  

I recognized Weiss from The Hills (middle school obsession and not even sorry), and was excited to read about her company.  I instantly fell in love with Glossier's approach to makeup as enhancement, not coverage.  The girly products embrace a woman's natural beauty and empower her to curate her own makeup routine. The Glossier Instagram  is also flawless.

Naturally, I had to try the products and started with the three below.  

Perfecting Skin Tint: Because of my oily skin, I am always searching for a lightweight foundation/base/tinted moisturizer that doesn't clog my pores or slick off my skin by the end of the day.  I really like the natural coverage of this product (it's designed to help skin not hide it), but it does not help with the oiliness of my skin.  Although I would recommend this product, I am continuing my search for the holy grail of oily skin products.

Soothing Face Mist: This product does not have a great scent, but made my face feel significantly fresher upon application.  Beware though, it made me break out a little when I applied the mist over makeup.

Boy Brow: This is my favorite out of the three products above.  I use this product every morning to define my eye brows and I love the way it keeps my eye brows in line throughout the day.  

Not pictured: Super Pure: I suffer from small bouts of acne so I decided to try the Super Pure.  This product is the most effective at reducing redness out of any product I have ever tried.  I love the easy application of this product because it's not greasy or messy.  10/10 recommend the Super Pure!!

I just ordered the Super Glow to help with acne scaring, and I will keep you posted on my reactions to that product.
